Got the same problem. It is intermittent (worse when cold). But, it is possible to operate the watch with touch. So, this is certainly not a s/w problem. You can swipe left to select the activity and i think i managed to start it with just pressing on the screen. Still a question: does washing it help?

@miriandfit I was persistent in my discussions with Suunto’s online support, seeking a complimentary repair for my watch. They offered a 10% discount code for their online store or the option to send my watch to Finland, with the understanding that I might have to cover shipping costs if Suunto didn’t acknowledge a hidden defect. Ultimately, I chose not to send it in for repair, as the watch is still functioning. I hope my experience is helpful to you.

@isazi Thank you. The watch was purchased in October 2018 so is getting old. I did however manage to fix my problem. When I restarted the watch the Active GPS setting was showing “NA”. I restarted again and the current date came up and worked fine this morning.

@дима-мельниченко i see your point and can relate to it. the request to resend the watch came from suunto support. if it doesn’t work now, i guess i will have to deal with it.

As I am still not able to understand the way S9b works with the laps data in different modes I made a series of tests (trail running) over the same route. Here you have: MODE PERFORMANCE - NAVIGATOR SCREEN OFF § https://www.suunto.com/en-be/move/davidzuelballester/60bb0e0f9859195d40b93320 MODE ENDURANCE - NAVIGATOR SCREEN ON (E-ON) https://www.suunto.com/move/davidzuelballester/60cd9fb2852b3c080621258a MODE ENDURANCE - NAVIGATOR SCREEN OFF (E-OFF) https://www.suunto.com/en-be/move/davidzuelballester/6097121145cefd139a2aaa00 Looking at the maps, neither reading E-ON or E-OFF matches reading P. Whilst E-ON guidance was completely correct, the route recorded is significantly less accurate than reading P. Looking at the total distances: The actual distance is 13.9 kms P recorded distance is 13.87 kms, last split ends at 13.9 Km, so is coherent. E-ON recorded distance is 14.8 kms, last split ends at 13.3 kms (why is that?) E-OFF recorded distance is 14.55 kms, last split ends at 14.4 kms (why is that?) Moreover I don’t get the actual difference between split duration and split min/km. In P these readings are different although though, but in E-ON and E-OFF, these readings are far one to the other.

I have a similar problem using the Vertical. The Suunto App shows for Alpine Skiing that I did 13 runs (which is the same as my SkiTracks App)but on Strava it shows 26 runs. I have not looked at the FIT file. I see nothing in the Suunto App with 26 in it.

@krsiakmartin The watch receives its calorie calculations from HR and likely calculates them differently than the app. I doubt there is much that can be done here and I suspect any calculations without HR are likely off anyway. The solution is to activate HR either OHR or wear a belt.

@Stack what distance was the ultra? Do we get a race report??

@isazi going back while timer running is already possible. Just not with timer stopped (there is no real pause button). You even get the running timer shown here (and a tap on the time takes you back to the timer main screen) [image: 1645088526757-42034871-ed4f-4c2f-8c0f-39517e1f7caf.jpeg]

@Mff73 Thanks, this seems to be another app, since I cannot visualise that in the Suunto iOS app, and also not on Strava (iOS or web). Strava creates by the way distinct activities out of a single multisport recording. The point for me is, per-hole scores should ideally be visible on the watch since this is device I am wearing. So I hope my suggestion for a decent golf mode is being heard and supported (plus completed with any additional suggestion) by other users.

@TELE-HO said in Golf mode for Suunto 9: @MartinLX no I don’t play golf and while I normally say “never say never” you can believe me, I will never ever play golf and I’ve got reasons that I don’t want to put in here BUT(!), as you use your watch for golfing, it’s not what a golf watch would actually do. I know from a friend of mine who does play golf, and who I really do not envy for this, that there’s a garmin watch available only made for golf… obviously it does not only count strokes and times for each strokes, but also analyzes your motion and efficiency and if you’re holding and swinging that club how it’s supposed to… but well… while I think everyone should do what he likes, I really respect what everyone does, but golf is nothing for me, really I know that watch, and I think this is total overkill - hence why I am looking for a pragmatic golf mode. Maybe that could convince you one day to play? No, jokes apart, everyone has its reasons to like or dislike, and welcome to diversity!

Perhaps I experienced a fluke. Subsequent runs went without a hitch.
