      AGPS at least looks good (of course I can’t check the content). Today it is still 2019-06-12T00:0:00Z (checked it before and it always looked like the most current version)

          @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos is on performance; and I am a little frustrated but mostly surprised. Simply waiting for an update (watch not SA 😉 … but who is not 😁) somehow expecting to see a miracle happen.

            @Shrek3k its a bit strange that it takes time to be honest. I have not experienced that.

                @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos me neither (At least not with Suunto … but very often with Garmin), especially frustrating that my wifes Ambit 3 is so much faster and exact, when synced at the same time and even used during the same activity (running together)

                  @Shrek3k is that after a soft reset? Because after a reset of the watch (12s upper button) it will take longer…

                  Perhaps your watch softresets it self?

                  You can chec kthat via the pressure chart if it has gaps.

                    @Saketo-Nemo no, as I usually sync with SA during workdays (I am a weekly commuter without PC during the week), might check in the next days when there are no changes …

                          😔 seems that I can’t offer / use that chart as I have the “simple version” (aka non-baro).

                              @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I am really grateful for your assistance, and I hope that I understand you correctly … as I am not using the any of the 24h-capabilities (sleep / HR) as I have no need at all for any of them (add to this opion, that these data could/would be collected but not interpreted in a meaningful way as far as I understand), so I might not be able to check there either if there are any ‘automatic’ resets 😔

                                @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Checked it and it was appr. 3 weeks old.
                                Did a soft reset and voila - GPS optimization started during next sync.

                                Thanks!

                                  @MaxiPalle That should solve the problem. My S9baro acquires a fix in about 5 sec.

                                    Today, synced with SA, checked the GPS-file, left the car, had a GPS-fix in the small parking lot (the usual open terrain with low trees around, no buildings, no hills) in approx 60 seconds … better than usual … for me and my S9 … (last GPS fix before on Friday less than 20km away … same procedure, much bigger parking lot, approx 60 seconds, too)

                                      Out of curiosity, have you tried to check visible satellites using the mobile ?
                                      Just to check the “sky” quality. Maybe there are only few satellites visible

                                        @sartoric excellent idea, I will (re)install an app capable of doing that. Might need a few days for a proper test, as my next run(s) will be in the centre of Brussels, and there is no way, that I will blame a slow satellite pick-up on the watch under that circumstances … but / and Imight use Glonass for the first time ever …

                                          @Shrek3k hi. I’m also belgian. Never had any trouble with gps fix on my spartan trainer. Always a fix straight out the front door in a second. Couple of weeks ran in meerdaalwoud near bruxels in a dens forrest. No problems what so ever.

                                            This has been a problem for me too since end of April. It looks like A-GPS data (satellite almanac) update is no longer updating reliably, at least when syncing to Movescount. A soft reset fixes that temporarily, but after a week or two the problem repeats. Currently AGPS date on my watch is 2019-06-06.
