      Ambit can be turned off. There is an option into the service menu.

        @Mi_chael Yes, it could but I remember that was very difficult to find and if I recall well it was not in the manual, could be? I had to send my vertical back and I had to check everywhere how to turn it off.

        Anyway, Spartans and S can’t be turned off.

          There is a trick to turn off S watches, but it is to put the watch in “shipping” mode, then surely hard reset at the turning on.

                    When i used the research fonction, i’ve founded 8 topic.
                    But you’ve found 9. The answer is in the last topic.

                    Thanks man

                      I think one of my biggest grievances with the S9B right now is how custom sport mode don’t save the last used configuration (ie the WHR, sensor syncing, SuuntoPlus option, etc).
                      I would really love to see that implemented as it would make starting an activity much smoother and faster (ie not having to go into the settings to adjust things before starting)

                        I agree !! Would be nice to just hit Start without having to scroll down and adjust each time.
                        Or alternatively if you choose a setting say 3 times consecutively it would remember that and default to it. For example I always have to scroll down to turn the Wrist HR off as I don’t use it, would be nice if it ‘realised’ that and turned it off until I decide that I do want to use it. Sounds simple enough to implement

                          not sure if you’re using a chest belt instead? if so, WHR is switched off automatically.
                          I think too settings should be stored, unless the backlight. sometimes I run at day, sometimes at night…

                            @TELE-HO is that confirmed that the watch shuts off WHR if chest strap is paired? That was something I always wondered - say if the chest connection was lost for a period - would it switch to WHR instead. I always turn WHR offjust to be safe

                              @Jonathan-Schwarz for what I know, the OHR is shut down if you have another heart rate monitor paired. And I don’t think it does turn on again if you lose the connection.

                                @Jonathan-Schwarz @MiniForklift @TELE-HO I too think the start menu is way overly complicated and I have been telling Suunto this every possibility I have. So have other testers. We are there with you. Hopefully Suunto will do something to change that, I just don’t know how difficult those changes are to implement. I suspect they are not trivial.

                                  @TELE-HO No chest strap, I don’t use any HR. Notice that it’s always searching for it when I’m waiting to start an exercise - maybe there’s somewhere in the watch settings where I can completely turn of HR during exercise?

                                    no there is no default setting afaik… it would oversteer the startmenu setting or at least have a conflict.

                                    and it would be trivial, but let’s pretend it is not 😉

                                      Sure? it seems to me that since the last update we can, but I have to try. Not surprisingly, if I’m not mistaken, from the settings you can choose both to use the belt and to activate the whr.
                                      obviously in default it goes on belt, but if it loses the connection now, by activating the appropriate flag, it changes to whr.
                                      It seems to me that it was a function present in a Coros watch and required in this forum.
                                      But again, I could be wrong. My memory is not so strong

                                          @Saketo-Nemo would be terrible for a OHR sensor, especially one on the wrist, try to get a lock on heart rate mid activity. It could take pretty long, and most probably lock on cadence if you are moving. And it sounds like a nightmare of edge cases, with decisions to take on what to do when the belt is connected again, if it is. The simpler solution, and the one that most companies use as far I can see, is to have memory on the chest sensor itself to compensate for disconnects, so that data can be transferred back to the watch post activity. Of course if the battery dies this does not work, but coin cell operated straps lasts for much longer than a watch.

                                          Anyway, easy to test. Start activity with paired chest strap, remove it, and go away until it disconnects, then check if the leds on the watch are blinking 🙂

                                            from my side after more than 1.4k km with S9 Baro.

                                            cons:

                                            • sleep tracking, was not working properly. Taking movie watching and reading as sleeping. Garmin fenix5 didn’t do that. I’m not using it at all
                                            • display: light during evening/night
                                            • daily stress(WHR), battery was going low too often
                                              - GPS - less accurate than Ambit2 or phone, this is the most important one for me.
                                            • missing shortcut for airplane mode
                                            • you can’t see the time(hour) during an activity
                                            • WHR not working properly, I would prefer not to show the numbers instead of wrong readings

                                            pros:

                                            • well made, robust
                                            • good battery life compared with other
                                            • navigation - helped me a lot, by loading routes from colleagues, or defining new routes when running in new places.
                                            • good information on screen depending on the type of activity
                                            • I wouldn’t change it for Garmin, I tried fenix5 and was very bad on battery
                                            • nice straps

                                            Suunto issues:

                                            • difficult to order accessories in Romania
                                            • I like the Suunto app, I would like to have it on the web also

                                            Cheers,
                                            Florin
