Phantom vibrations
-
Recently my watch (Race) has been vibrating a lot - both in smartwatch mode and during activities. Many times when that happens I look at the display and there is nothing that would indicate why it vibrated. For example, only this morning this happened at least a dozen times.
I wonder if it is only me who experiences this? It should absolutely not vibrate unless there is a visual notification at the same time. Needless to say that this must be affecting the battery life too.

Could be due to nearby BT sensors. My recent experience in this thread: https://forum.suunto.com/post/174940

@sky-runner I had this happen and no reason why. Soft reboot and was gone. If it happens again I will file a bug.

@Squirrel Yes, I think it is quite possible that vibrations were triggered by the BT sensor. Today it vibrated when I walked towards my desk at work or away from it. At my desk there was a backpack with Coros HR sensor inside. This happened with an hour of me finishing a run, but didn’t happen later in the day.

@sky-runner It happens when the watch detects a previously synced BT device (that’s the reason it happens after your run, the armband is still powered on and the watch detects it). When the armband is powered off the vibration dissapears. It seems that BT discovery process is still running in backplane (and also draining battery, another posted bug).
