    @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I gave this a try. I’m currently injured, so I’m not running, but I can walk and the test results should come to the same conclusion. For the test, I attached a bag to a 1-meter pole and placed the pole in the center of a sand volleyball court at a city park. I need a tight enough loop to maintain a Bluetooth connection between the watch and Stryd, but large enough to be outside of random GPS noise. I had a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. The dimensions of the volleyball court at its widest is roughly 11 m × 22 m for a circumference of 66 m (according to Google Maps, and Suunto Raceplaner). So, 15 loops around the perimeter should yield approximately 990 m. Stryd attached to pole, watch on wrist: https://maps.suunto.com/move/aarontoponce/696ee80180e2ab73f69ae67d Watch attached to pole, Stryd on shoe: https://maps.suunto.com/move/aarontoponce/696eebc8eb45b7069143f5b0 Completed 15 complete laps for both tests. With the Stryd attached to the pole and the watch recording GPS track, 0 meters were traveled. With the watch attached to the pole and the Stryd recording foot motion, 952 meters were traveled. I might have miscounted and walked 14 laps instead of 15. The online measurement tools could be off also. I’m both surprised and confused by this conclusion. Surprised, because given the communication I’ve had with Stryd support and my own analysis of the collected data, I expected to see distance when the was watch in motion and the Stryd stationary. I’m confused however because of that analysis. When I’m on the treadmill, Suunto and Stryd agree 100% on distance and pace. When I’m outdoors, they always disagree. Why?

    @helgonet12 to be fair, it works, when you restart the watch there’s some refreshing issue

    @Néstor yes I had a Garmin, twice actually, would not recommend that to my enemy. On the other hand I do not disagree that it could be adjustable, that would probably be nice for those who use it. All I am saying that it is not a flaw, it is a nice to have feature.

    @Redbeard_ranger The chest strap is from Ambit 3 so is BT and the same sensor used now. For me, chest straps are more accurate than OHR.

    I’ve done further investigation and can confirm that the issue is because of footpod connection. I’ve done several tests with my sv2 und the race2 of my wife. What I’ve done: 1.Hard reset 2. run in basic mode and standard mode > vertical Oszillation and ground contact time are visible 3. connect a footpod (in this case npe Runn) 4. treadmill activity > no metrics recorded 5. disconnect footpod (general disabling for outdoor and treadmill runs) 6. start basic and customized outdoor/treadmill runs > no metrics are recorded 7. soft reset / new app pairing 8. issue persists 9. started with 1. again without footpod > works fine. After that: same procedure from 2.-8. So for my testing it’s definitely about the footpod which seem to entirely block the metrics.

    @franky23 You should have sent it for battery replacement at the beginning while under warranty. There certainly are faulty batteries with much smaller capacity than designed out there, or it could also be another hardware problem causing excessive power consumption.

    @schwarztrader said in Interval training. Next interval notification.: Suunto Support then informed me that I should send my watch into their repair center. After 2+ months of it being in their repair center they informed me that, “We have carefully inspected your product based on the reported faults and performed all the necessary tests. Unfortunately, the damage is beyond economical repair.” What? And you actually sent it in? That is crazy. Is this the Race 2 or what watch? And lastly, which service center is this?

    At the top of the screen is a “back arrow” button, kind of like “return”. This is “reply to the thread” button. Or you can use “reply” at the bottom of the post

    @mauog Yes, I have experienced this issue - Suunto Support has informed me that this is a “Known Issue” and will resolve in the future. I was asked to send my watch into their repair facility but after 2+ months they finally stated, “Dear customer, We have carefully inspected your product based on the reported faults and performed all the necessary tests. Unfortunately, the damage is beyond economical repair.” Of course I’m completely frustrated with their lack of support and blatant lies as I responded with, "I’m confused by your statement that the product is “beyond economical repair.” Your support staff has already informed me that the issue I reported is a known firmware issue that is expected to be addressed in a future firmware update. That directly contradicts your assessment that the device is damaged beyond repair. To be clear, there is no physical damage to the unit. The problem is that the firmware is not functioning as designed." I guess we will see what Suunto Support has to say - then again, it will take a least a week or two before they will respond as usual.

    I wrote the following concerning this issue on another thread earlier today. I should stress that at times, particularly at night when snowing or otherwise with poor visibility, I was totally dependent on watch navigation to keep me on the Pennine Way trail itself: Re software 2.50.26: During last week’s Spine Challenger North I found that, after maybe a day of continuous tracking, when I had the navigation screen showing the backlight would turn on, often at high intensity, if I apparently raised my wrist - but I had disabled this function under General Settings and confirmed this post-event. Wrist raises occurred often because of the terrain so the backlight kept turning on. This caused me great concern because of the obvious effect on battery life and the need for good navigation at night up on the mountains in bad weather.

    Agreed as well, is this something that we could see as a feature request in a future update? When launching a new acitivity there is already a menu for “exercise options” where you can change acitivity only display, battery mode, intensity, … Could we get an option in that menu to activate/deactivate the haptics? That way we could keep the global options as off on vibration but activate it only for specific activities (interval runs, for example vs a long run when we wouldn’t need it). Thanks for the great work and improvements already made to Suunto!

    Why I can’t see both of new watchfaces in my Suunto App. Is it not for Ocean ?

    @aiv4r Where I live I have to often ski uphill a little bit even with the lifts, because the plateau is often not perfectly flat. That wouldn’t make my workout neither XC, nor backcountry though. Granted, the watch could probably allow to make a custom sport mode where the elevation is always set to 0 automatically. It’s the same as skiing on the lake. It’s absolutely flat, yet the watch calculates elevation gain due to the fact that it’s hard to detect the actual elevation both with GPS and barometer.
