        Coros Vertix, had the best battery life among us 3 at the 60km mark. I had to disable OHR and charge a bit half-way through the race and finished with about 18% after 29.5 hours. Whilst I vaguely remember the Coros has more than enough battery to get to the finish line without a recharge.

        Out of curiosity, was Coros using OHR and same precision (of course,not the same but equivalent) for GPS ?

        SVTS - 2.40.38
        SSSWHR BARO Amber - 2.8.32
        Samsung A5 2016 - Android 7.0
        Samsung A33 2022 - Android 14 - One UI 6.1
        Suunto App Android 5.2.5 beta
        Suunto App IOs 2.45.0 (19123) beta on MBP M1

          @azeanic which GPS precision did you use for the running ? I think it’s a problem with FUSEDTRACK

              @sartoric Not sure what’s the precision but OHR was on based off his Strava logs.

                how does your s9 and garmin/coros track look compared in strava?
                …despite that I noticed that strava shows a compressed trackline compared to SA and MC…

                    Coros Vertix is advertised to have 60 hours in the best GPS mode, but the accuracy isn’t as good as Suunto 9 from some discussions that I’ve seen so far.

                    Suuto 9 could have survived the entire race on a single charge in Performance mode if OHR was turned off from the beginning, but that would be a close call.

                      does chest strap use less battery than ohr?

                          @zhang965 what makes you think so? Bluetooth/ANT+ consumes also energy and WHR is optimized to use also as less as possible? Just because chast Belt has it’s own battery for sensor and transmission?

                            I didn’t think so, it just acts so,
                            try it yourself, in the same sport mode, s9 will show different estimated battery life.

                                It’s true.
                                WHR consumes more energy because the LED’s use way more than BTLE.
                                BTLE has an average current of ~0.05mA (depending largely on the chipset)
                                The high rate LED switching easily uses 10x as much power…

                                t6, S6, Elementum Terra, Ambit 3 Sapphire, Spartan Ultra Copper, Traverse Alpha, S7 Graphite LE, S9B Ambassador, S9P Granite Blue Titanium, S9PP Titanium Sand, Vertical All Black, Race Titanium Charcoal,

                                    what is, by your experience, the battery life in best GPS mode?

                                    and another technical question: is it possible to get oxygen values with these LED’s or would it require a different sensor?

                                      It’s a wise strategy, I think suunto number line will never get the same (feeling ) as ambit line.

                                      Personally I recommend you to get a second hand SSU if you don’t want wasting money, or garmin/polar stuff.

                                      The difference between ambit and suunto number line is huge, I think as long as you stay with ambit, you will get harder to understand a new generation watch

                                        @zhang965 I had an “SSU Titanium Customized” until last week and dropped it because of issues … I’m now waiting where to go and stay with the A2 Peak Sapphire

                                        And I had Also an S9 BARo & S9BARO Titanium which I also get rid of as long as I could get my money back. I’m not giving up, but I will not wait forever …

                                          I never did a long time activity, my longest move was a 12km 48min run, so for me the battery is enough.

                                          It needs a different sensor for blood oxygen

                                            It is easy enough to try because Suunto 9 shows estimated battery life on activity start screen.

                                            If my memory is correct, with full charge in Performance mode S9B promises the following:

                                            • With OHR - 25 hours
                                            • With BT HR sensor - 30-31 hours
                                            • With HR turned off - 33-34 hours
