problems with my S9B

@André-Faria said in problems with my S9B:

I believe that @Luis-Duarte has the watch since christmas maybe he has runs without jacket and that this issue may be recurrent.
If S9B is so sensitive to jackets how runners do?

You put the watch over the jacket, I least I do that way, of course you can’t use OHR, you need a strap if you want HR readings.

@cosmecosta ok thanks
if that is the problem it is very bad for a top watch to have such a problem. In winter I can’t use it then. it’s just a summer watch.
I trained little since March and did not go to the mountain. now these problems have returned.

@Luis-Duarte honestly this only happened to me once in over a year, and it was during a walk in storm kinda winds (trees falling down). I used my S9 for running, hiking, skiing, mountaineering, always under a jacket, never had issues.

@Luis-Duarte I wouldn’t say the it is a summer watch. I use it all the year without issues. Right now you are covering the holes of the sensor making a sealing effect that makes the bad readings, if you use it in the other hand you won’t have this issues (better if you do not use gloves of course).

If you use it over the jacket and you do not have HR, is it a killer? I do not think so… But if it is a must for you and you can use a chest or OHR strap you will have the HR readings and surely even more percise, not affected by other factors like WOHR. You can also use the watch under the jacket with the WOHR, there are some brands of apparel that make a nice window for the watch.

Hello Luis,
Just for the sake of it, have you tried re-installing firmware and reset after?
Also, after reset, sync with SA, wait about 30min for the agps settle down and before starting waiting for good fix.

Yes it is.

[Luis Duarte]

@isazi ok

[Luis Duarte]

@André-Faria yes i have yestarday
I go to train today

@Luis-Duarte I wear my watch over the jacket or shirt nearly all winter for most of my activities. I rarely if ever have issues with altitude readings. Occasionally yes, but as I stated before that can be due to ferocious winds we can have here in the mountains.

This was the problem today
Not lucky with my whatch

@Luis-Duarte
Who are you? The Flash?

@Luis-Duarte I have had this problem before, it is rare. One morning I ran from CO, USA to Spain…I too was very fast:)

I had a huge difference in altitude yesterday having a short ski walk with my S9B. Any explanation? GPS signal was clearly bad in the beginning, but I cannot understand that it took so long to get the correct altitude. How could I share the file for you experts to check (the activity is already in QS)?

Yesterday was some issues with GPS (mainly Sony chip), Garmin was affected too.

I don’t understand why just a sleeve can effect as bad the sensor. I’ve got in past many Casio Protrek and never had this kind of problem.
Maybe a firmware update will correct it
