@chrisc92 I think its the save as route. Using the original files this should not be an issue.

Just for the sake of it, QS just reads the points. If there is a glitch that should come from the source of it.

[chrisc92]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos maybe you know how to export a gpx from SA or GC someone else activity ? I could just save the activity as routes.
So I imported The Garmin route in SA in this gpx file where I do not see the glitch.
then in QS import SA route GPX into QS is ok
but import Garmin route GPX into QS has a glitch
so the translation of Garmin GPX by SA went Ok.
Gpx is a very simple xml text file with lines of GPS and elev data

<rtept lat=“50.652588” lon=“3.0599594”><ele>23.4</ele>

I don’t understand how the first lines are not displayed when direct import from Garmin i will try to search for a gpx comparison tool

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@chrisc92 I see the issue. You are right.

[Frederick Rochette]

to compare, here are two similar short uphill sessions in the same spot with S9P
the first one with the HR belt
the second with the OHR
it is clear that with the OHR the frequency does not rise.
i say that the effort is about 30-35 seconds and that the recovery was very slow.

Does anyone have any examples or comparisons for walking / Hiking / trekking with HR Belt and OHR, for me personally that is the most likely activity type / scenario I would use the OHR rather than the belt. I would almost always use a belt when undertaking any other activity.

I currently have the S9B and the OHR for walking is terrible so would be very interested to understand how the peak’s OHR performs.
Many Thanks

@t1sugar I already posted a comparison of Peak’s OHR against a Polar OH1 hiking. Should be on this topic.

[Egika]

@t1sugar I have been using the S7 for ski touring and found the OHR easily gets disturbed when using poles.
If you are waling/hiking without poles you should definitely be fine with the new HR sensor of the S9P

[TonyG]

@isazi Thank you, I thought the OH1 was an optical belt, I should have been more specific in my request and asked for a comparison between a standard electrical chest HRM Belt. But nice comparison all the same.

[TonyG]

@egika Thank you, I dont use poles much so this is very encouraging.

[isazi]

@t1sugar I do not carry a chest strap with me while traveling. But I have plenty of comparisons also with a chest strap, and results are good.

[Brad_Olwin]

@egika mine seems to work reasonably well ski touring. It may be related to an individual. Both the S7 and S9P OHR on ski touring has been good but not perfect.

[Frederick Rochette]

Interval training with S9P and OHR : 4 x 6 minutes R3. Seems perfect ! @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos good job🤩

I am wondering why the GPX track is wobbling around so much!? (blue is S9P, watch on left wrist, orange is Apex Pro, watch on right wrist)

Trailrun/Speedhike with poles up to 20% gradient:

Hiking slowly with kids without poles. S9P left wrist, Apex Pro right wrist.

This track is really ugly compared to the Apex Pro . Any ideas why this happened? Only on the right end S9P did it better than Apex Pro when we were playing on that little river.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@_marcus_ do you use glonass on both?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@_marcus_ also right wrist always has better gps. Fyi.

[A Former User]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos same settings on both watches: GPS+QZSS, no GLONASS/GALILEO/BEIDOU

[A Former User]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos ok, never heard of this. Why is it better on the right wrist?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@_marcus_ actually I said it wrong. Left hand is better. That is because imagine you walking at a road. You walk at the right part and right you have trees wts

But if you want to test gnss please use the default setting (gps and glo) and same arm. Keep in mind that the watch that is higher should have a better signal.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@_marcus_ regarding the wobble this is very interesting.

I wonder that the apex will record if you do a zig zag on a narrow road vs the s9P.

[A Former User]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos it is a hiking trail and I did not walk around like a drunk person^^
The conditions on the worst part of the track:

And why is it ok on the way there but gets worse on the way back?

It is similar on hill repeats, more wobbling on the S9P.
