Suunto vertical ascent/ descent totally incorrect

@maszop
with a little tone of humour (but not totally silly idea ), what do you think about testing with covering baro hole with something like the furry windshields, used to protect micros from noises od wind “pressure” ?

@Mff73 If it works with microphones, maybe it will also be suitable for watches
-
Strange about wind effect : I have used my vertical several times in very windy conditions and never observed such elevation errors.
(I didn’t know where to put this so I put it here : I wanted to notice that SV works awesomely well under clothes/gloves, even in very cold weather with big gloves + 3 layers => that’s a point I wanted to notice. My A3P and my S9b were very poor in this case with elevations errors and GPS accuracy loss).

@Tieutieu Vertical and the previously used 9PP measure point height very accurately. No issues with that.
The problem is with these spikes visible on the chart - sudden, small, but very frequent changes in elevation. -
@maszop I had perfectly understood that issue => never had such behaviour even in very windy conditions
-
@maszop
and the last solution would be also to consider your watch as faulty.
it is not nice, but sometimes it may happen.
years ago i had issues with my spartan ultra, searching for all possible solutions about baro issues and ascent/descent.
RMA one day, and baro sensor was faulty : new watch never had any issues.
(not related to wind though). -
@Mff73 Two watches are faulty?
9PP and Vertical, maybe, but very hard to believe.
Maybe I can test another Vertical very soon. -
Back in the days when I still owned a S9B, altitude was still recorded for windsurfing activities. The altiude graph went all over the place and I ended up with hundereds of meters of ascend and descend values. The graph above looks very clean. Nothing like the graphs I saw when it was influenced by the wind.
Maybe the algorithm changed over the years, but I don’t know if wind is the issue this time. -
@surfboomerang Something has changed because my problems started with 9 Peak Pro. Previously, in the case of Traverse and 9 Baro, despite much lower accuracy, there was no such disaster.

Hi!
I have encountered the same issue. On an extremely windy day, my 9 Peak Pro reported an elevation of 2400m when the hike (validated with my partner’s Garmin) was around 1100m.
This is the first time I have experienced such a disparity, hiking or cycling. -
