@atoponce said in Issues with pace/distance - Stryd integration:
Utnlike my previous Ambit3 Peak and 9 Baro, I don’t see anywhere in the Race S menu to calibrate it. I also don’t believe it’s necessary however, as Stryd is precise out of the box.
From what I read in the past in the forum, Stryd integration seems to be screwed up since Q3 update multiple BT sensors, if I remember correctly. Missing autocalibration option is a bug in the watch firmware, and the problem is, it needs to be disabled after initial pairing, and used only for manual calibration which is rarely or never needed for most users. So at this point it seems always enabled, as I understand, and I don’t know the implications of that, but is it possible that those implications are what you are seeing? Getting the actual speed/pace from whatever the watch provides, either GNSS based or accelerometer if indoors?
I was contemplating getting Stryd Duo myself for indoor track runs, so I can have an accurate pace and distance (don’t care much about power at this point), but the more I look into it, the weirder the Stryd itself seems, even without Suunto issues.
So there is now 4th generation pod? (Stryd 5.0) - Dec 2025
( 3rd gen (Next Generation Stryd) - late 2022 - Nov 2025
2nd gen (Wind Detection) - June 2019 to September 2022
1st gen - January 2018 to June 2019 )
Possible issues that are not clear to me and if they apply to 5.0:
• Reading through Stryd site, I don’t see clearly stated battery life anywhere
• Battery level not available while charging, always shows 0%
• Stryd will switch itself off to save power when your cadence drops below 130 SPM for a few minutes, unless pod gets keep alive command from connected Stryd app
• Exercise can be started on the watch while only using single pod. When using Duo, exercise needs to be started in the Stryd app?
• Pods support only single channel BT connection, so if using the Stryd app, can’t connect to watch using BT? Consequently, without ANT+, can’t connect at all for DUO workout?
For USD 300/600 pods, this looks entertaining. Maybe it’s just outdated info and/or my misunderstanding.
