Elevation Gain

[Carl Sellars]

After doing several rides using my Suunto 9 and my partner using her strava or her garmin the total elevation gain on my Suunto is exactly half of that in Strava and Garmin . Why is the watch not registering the correct total elevation gain over the course of a ride or run?

Do you have a Baro version ?

Did you try a search in the forum ?

If you have a non-baro model and your route is only mildly hilly, that 7m threshold may mean your elevation data bears little resemblance to reality.

@sartoric Fair enough. For the benefit of the OP, the other thread is here: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/3886/dodgy-elevation-on-spartan-sport-whr?page=1

I wouldn’t call discussion “ongoing” exactly, since neither thread seems to have had traffic since early February, but I agree it’d be better not to have the discussion sprawl across multiple different threads.

@Carl-Sellars ja też mam ten sam problem na trasie która ma 1400m przewyzszenia zegarek pokazuje mi tylko 1000m to jest za duże przekłamania lub gdy jadę trasę gdzie start jest w tym samym miejscu gdzie meta to mi pokazał że podjechałem 130m A zjechalem 300m taka różnica w zegarku za taka kwotę to porażka
