      No compass… really? whoever buys it for navigation functions will probably be disappointed. Is it a component that really affects so much the price? for navigation the compass really makes the difference while you are on the road

        It’s true, but it’s the cheapest suunto.
        I would not be wrong but is a lack that has effects only under 3km / h, speed above which the direction is indicated by the gps point (it is also so for sss, ssu and 9)

          @Saketo-Nemo It’s been days since I wondered why the direction of my SSS didn’t update in real time while I’m hiking, but only when I’m stationary (This didn’t happen with Ambit 3). Without wanting to, you probably explained the reason to me, thanks. Is this information contained in the manual? I guess I can’t change this settings… Sad…

                    I have read in dcrainmaker’s pre-review that 24/7 HR tracking is significant load for battery - approx. 3 % per hour. Has anyone else noticed such behaviour? Is this normal or temporary problem due to beta software and will be fixed later with updates?

                      @dulko79 from what I know is “expected” behavior which also happens on other models too. Continuous heart rate readings requires a lot of battery power, as does sleep monitoring. Maybe there will be more reliable information soon

                        @dulko79 I have a SST and I think that he said the same. However I can confirm that I have never experienced such battery consumption.

                                        I bought my girlfriend a s5 and after a fews runs i am a bit confused because the ascent recorded by the watch is about 50% of the real ascent. I use the ssu. I know s5 has no baro but at least it should record the GPS ascent which is about the same i her from the ssu. Is this a known issue?

                                          Have you tried a full vertical track, without d- ?
                                          Going from 300m to 800m should results 500d+, in S5 and also in SSU.

                                          In tracks where there are many up and down you will not have the same results because GPS device store d+ only each 7m gained, BARO device each 3m.

                                          btw, 50% less is too much…

                                            @whl_89 Same here with SSSW (no baro). Are ascend step sort? Usually in my 10-15k run with +400m always have less than +200m

                                            😞
