Race steel HR
-
Hello, I’m sitting at the office and it seems that my watch is stuck with totally wrong HR metrics. It is a new watch (received yesterday). Updated firmware and did also a reset and restarted and sync again.
It does not have any sense. Does anybody else have this issue with the watch?
-
@dreamer_ some has, some not. In my opinion ohr is totally individual thing, for me it works fine when I run (long and easy runs) and, of course, when I’m resting. I am saying about 9PP and SR. I wear my watch a bit higher than wrist bone
-
@false I have not seem these kind of metrics with the Vertical.
And also first time with a totally useless HR in many many years. Metrics can be somehow inaccurate but should not be totally wrong. It is very strange. -
Restarted and synced with the app. It seems ok now. Is like it was hung or something rare.
Edit:
It is hung again. I don’t understand what happens with this watch
-
It seems the tracking is not working at all. Sometimes seems good but it’s mostly with totally incorrect readings. I’ll try with a nylon band.
It is not important while sleeping works and in activity I will probably use a band.I like the watch but I was expecting better metrics here. Perhaps there’s a ring or something you can have without noticing it’s there but at the end it’s more money and to be honest I don’t care too much about this.

What I have seen.
Sleep tracking seems to somehow work but there’s a bug here.
When I want to read my instant HR using the watch, it is working bad. I have been reading and it seems that this is something generic and it happens to many users. Sometimes works, others don’t (most).In activity I don’t care too much. I can use my arm band. At the end, during the day metrics are bad. It is not important if the watch is not using them to calculate data. So, I’m ok.
I was thinking that someone (Suunto ?) should create a wrist band for the other hand with many more sensors to have measured accurately HR and many more things related to blood, breathing… and let these poor WHR of the watches like something of the past.
That would be a game changer and the end of the bad readings

Update. The HR works fine while sleeping and it also seems to work well in workout for me even while trail running (the Vertical wasn’t working fine for me).
I know at least three people that have the same issue as me. HR works but does not work in tracking during the day which I don’t understand (i.e. sitting in the office)I don’t care too much if that tracking does not affect to metrics but if the watch can track sleep and can track HR during workout, my guess is there’s really a software issue there (and not hardware or not only hardware related as someone pointed in the past)
-
@dreamer_ I See it occasionally - I think it’s an aliasing error as for me it occasionaly gets stuck at 2x the real value for a minute or two - and that does suggest its an issue with the algorithm
-
@Desdinova It is in fact exactly what I was showing in the captures. There’s something very strange here.
-
Did someone contact Suunto with this issue?
I have the same problem: HR is locked at around double the normal heart rate. Also when I take off the watch when it’s displaying the wrong HR, it sometimes will keep displaying the wrong heart rate going up and down slightly… while not even being on the wrist. It’s as if the watch is “guessing” the heart rate or is stuck in some sort of loop. The measurements normalize after some time and it displays the right heart rate again. No problems while sleeping, only during the day.
-
Sometimes I saw that the HR have some strange values. I have took my measurments also with a Pulse Oximeter. After the activity is started, the HR it’s at the corrrect value, but not all the time from the beggining. I have tried to move the position of the watch and to modify the strap but without any changes.
The watch is updated at the last version.

@Bogdan1921 guys, ohr is a 100% individual thing, it’s a software measurement. So if you have x2 it just means that in your specific case (suunto’s wrist) ohr is not for you

@false
And that’s it?
It’s not for me. Aaa ok, thanks
