configurable storm alarm threshold?

thanasis

Hi there,
since the storm alarm has been mentioned of being mostly a miss rather than a hit (although my Ambit 3 peak was quite spot on), i was wondering if we could configure the threshold in either time or value to increase or decrease the triggered rate that issues an alert

thanks

@thanasis Sorry it is not adjustable. Depending on the amount of elevation gain/loss during an exercise, it could be too sensitive. Mine works reasonably well, no device can predict a storm accurately, especially fast developing thunderstorms. I find mine works well when a low pressure front comes through our area, typically in the winter.

@Brad_Olwin Thanks

@thanasis I’m with you: I haven’t had a storm alert since my Ambit 3 Peak.

The threshold should be the same as the Ambit 3. 4hPa drop in 3 hours.

I did receive storm alerts with my Suunto Vertical. At almost the same time, my girlfriends S9Peak also triggered on a storm alert. Pretty accurate if you ask me.

I often wear two Suunto watches or more:). Storm alarms for me trigger nearly identically on all newer Suunto watches 9PeakPro; Ocean; Race; RaceS; Vertical. They behave similarly but without the fast drop noted by @surfboomerang you will not get a storm alarm.

Reading this makes me think you run like this all the time

@surfboomerang I’ve read that the threshold is the same, but I wonder if the polling interval or some other part of the logic is different.

@surfboomerang those watches are too close together… GPS interference. More like this

@Brad_Olwin Hi Brad. Could you share what’s the brand of the nylon band of your SV? Thank you.

You will love this, since I cannot find good velcro bands from Suunto (that I have repeatedly suggested they make) I have a Garmin Ultrafit band with pins ordered from Amazon. So far no problems, HR is much better with this and it is very light.

@Brad_Olwin Yes, I know this one. I use the orange 26 mm for my 7X and for the SR I bought the Coros one which comes with three pins. So, I’ll buy the same Garmin black nylon one for my SR as well.
