      @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.

                        @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.

                                  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

                                        I’ve had a protreck, too… many years back. this one had a twin sensor to assure no wrong measurements

                                          I use two G-SHOCK watches too and the ascent and altitude are spot on. Even more exactly than my SSU. 😲

                                            Yesterdays issues were due issues with Sony chips. I have an S9B and I have had a SSU with the same placement and holes of the baro and I haven’t had issues with altitude that I can recall. I always wear the watch over the sleeve but I also pay attention that the fabric is not covering the holes (before running while running I do not pay attention to it). My running partner has an S9B too, he wears it in the left arm and I in the right and we have always very consistent results, as an example today we did intervals, in total 16 km up an down, and my ascent was 73 m and his was 71 m…

                                            I also have discovered that is better that you let de watch some minutes before start running in the sport screen so Fusialti can do its magic.
