      @atoponce and I train with power on my bike, just tested today. Avg and normalized power on watch are different than in SA (except NP data from SuuntoPlus app). You can’t pace a climb with this bug 😞

        @atoponce My thinking is that it might be related to the gps firmware update. If a separate device within the watch such as this has a firmware update I don’t know if a downgrade of the watch firmware would also downgrade this separate device. Same argument if the bluetooth is handled by a separate component of the watch.

          I think there may also be a bug with the “Interval Workouts” you can program in the mobile app. I have used “Lap button press” under Duration for some steps in my workouts, and this worked well. In the new firmware pressing the lap button does not end an interval - it just records a new lap in the workout.

          Is anyone else seeing this?

            @far-blue I was wondering if it’s a Bluetooth patch that shipped with .12 but is absent in .8.

            However, regarding GPS, I don’t use GPS for pacing—I use the Stryd pods. This is why I’m skeptical that it’s a problem with the pods as my pace never drops to zero but remains consistent the whole run. I guess it could be possible that when the pace disappears from the pods, the watch immediately switches to GPS so I don’t notice the drop. I wouldn’t know how to test this though.

            I should mention that I use the 30s average for my power data field, so I have to wait a while for the average power to climb back up. I would probably be less annoyed by this bug if I set it to 10s or 3s average. But then I would be annoyed by the more frequent spiking. Double-edge sword. Heh.

              @atoponce in suggesting the issue might be the gps firmware what I meant was that a change in it’s behaviour might cause the watch to be more busy dealing with gps and might ‘miss’ bluetooth data or similar. Or maybe a spike in power demand on the gps caused the bluetooth to drop power or temporarily pause. Something like that. Sports watches are a whole community of communicating devices handling specific tasks rather than one big, powerful processor.

                @far-blue Ah, fair point. Yeah, I’ve wondered the same. Even so much as if using a 7-field display is creating too much stress for the firmware and doing a 3-field display would reduce that stress.

                  I have power 10 sec average together with speed and cadence on a 3-field display. Every 60 seconds the power (bike power meter) is 0 and starts to count again.

                    @pilleus I have the same issue, however, after the activity is uploaded, I don’t see the drops in Suunto app. I am using it for indoor cycling using a smart trainer, so no GPS is being used.

                      The data in SA are not affected by the bug, these are correct for me too. And I don’t think it’s a BLE problem, because cadence is working fine while power is set to 0 and both are broadcasted with the same BLE connection.

                        Unfortunately YES!
                        Please read my posts and you will learn about swimming problems.

                        Suunto attempted to improve the old algorithm for counting pool length, which worked very well, and completely broke it.

                        Of course, after the third update it went back to normal, but unfortunately the problem with recognizing swimming style remained and none of the Suunto engineers know how to fix it!?

                        From my recent observations (I already wrote about it), it appears that the last update is less resistant to errors.

                        Today it counted the distance correctly, but it broke up my 100m intervals into 50m (ok, no drama).

                        I would like to point out that everything was fine with the old algorithm, both in counting and in recognizing, so why these changes?

                        During planned exercises, it is not important for me to recognize the style because I know that I swam, for example, the “crawl” or “butterfly”, but in varied swimming (4 styles alternately) it is important what I did in order, and in the current situation I am going crazy because everything is mixed up!

                          @atoponce you downgraded to 2.43.8? No real changes between .8 and .12, so the bug should be in both

                              Yes, I agree with You. This is a problem for visually impaired people.

                              I cope with this by configuring additional screens by placing a single piece of information that interests me on them.

                              There is also the possibility of using Suunto Plus “Big Number” but this screen is not configurable and only shows: duration, current time and heart rate.

                              I hope someone from Suunto IT will take some steps in this direction.

                                @isazi Yes, because I only started noticing the problem after the upgrade to .12. I didn’t notice this issue on .8.
