Suunto 7 Altitude Issues

[Lars Klemmer]

On the S7 the GPS is okay, but the altitude measurements are terrible. I have these issues on all activities. No altitude measurements are correct.

@Lars-Klemmer I can’t confirm that. Only while kayaking the S7 is showing an ascent at the end of the activity.

Walking, cycling, mountain biking are awesome. No difference to Ambit 3 or Spartan Ultra. I have a lot of tests and comparisons.

Is your activity private ? Because the link can’t be opened

[Lars Klemmer]

@sartoric sorry, it’s now public.

@Lars-Klemmer I can only rely on my experiences. I have dozens of runs with both S7 and S9 and a few with A3P added in too and my elevation profiles as well as accuracy on the S7 are excellent. I am running larger hills than what might be in your example. My tests have been with hiking, Ski mountaineering and trail running. What do you mean by terrible? Is it elevation gain/loss or accuracy?

[Lars Klemmer]

@Brad_Olwin My S7 collects to much altitude on flat routes. Last run was 400m altitude with the S7 vs. 14m (real altitude).

Several issues may affect the readings. When very windy, the altitude can be wrong due to wind blowing on the sensor. If the sensor is covered or gets covered and uncovered by cloth or skin it can affect altitude readings. Try a soft reset by holding upper right button 12s and see if that helps.

The dips ?

[Lars Klemmer]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Correct, the round was completely flat and the watch measures mountainous round.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Lars-Klemmer happens always ?

[Lars Klemmer]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yes, in every activity

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Lars-Klemmer could you do me a favor ? Record a run indoors.

One with wearing the watch and one without wearing it.

30 mins fake run each should be ok.

@Lars-Klemmer May I ask what app/site those links point to? It’s certainly not SportsTracker!

I found that I could access my activities in Sports-Tracker via the new UI using the activity id (and my username).

[Bulkan]

@Vinay-Menon is sharing the link of the activity in Suunto app.

If you need a web service I recommend Runalyze and Quantified-self

[Vinay Menon]

@Bulkan Thanks. Signed up to Quantified Self. Thus far it hasn’t imported any of my previous activities (not sure if it trying to access data from SportsTracker or from Movescount - either way it is blank!).

The web UI for the link above is a lot cleaner in design than SportsTracker.

[Bulkan]

@Vinay-Menon You are welcome, here we have the creator of QS @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

About the import I think it works with Suunto app but not with movescount.
