SW update 2.37.34 Q3

[Jordi C]

@Egika Walked in trekking mode as we do always.

I don’t know if it is a speed thresholds issue or not, , but it was working fine in previous firmware releases.
Why don’t take into account GPS location changes to determine that you are moving?

Look at the straight line in today’s activity

today’s walk

[Egika]

@Jordi-C I can only help you finding out if your watch is working as designed.
I cannot tell you why certain design decisions were taken.

Regarding the first:

• if the speed is over 5.4km/h for 5s when paused, the notification appears. The abnormal speed needs 10s over 36km/h or over 20km if the cadence is below 15rpm (and the cadence data is available).
• the abnormal speed is checked only in selected activities: running, trail running, walking, trekking, hiking, golf, nordic walking, orienteering and open water swimming. Resume reminder is active always.

I cannot see how fast your wife was walking during the pause, but if it was slower than 5.4km/h then the watch worked as designed.

[Jordi C]

@Egika thanks for your detailed info.

She was walking slower than 5.4km/h for 5s because she is still recovering from a skiing accident where she injured her knee.

Next time I will try by myself wearing both watches and walking faster than 6km/h.

I will post the results.

But if you watch this video from past week, looks like something in my wife’s watch doesn’t work as expected:

@Ars-Vitae
Yes I know, I do it. But how many times can I do it?
I swim every day, in one day I do about 5-6 separate activities x 7 days a week (…) I constantly improve the lengths (…), it’s very irritating.
This is the second update and unfortunately no one wanted to take care of the problem. And before them everything worked perfectly!
Shame on you Suunto.

@Artus-Diver the coming hotfix also includes something about swimming distance, and should be released in September. The current version already fixes the “0m” distance in the app, and other issues regarding open-water swimming distance.

[Artus Diver]

@isazi Thank you very much for the optimistic information.

GYM Mode bug

Looks that there is a bug in GYM mode, every time my wife uses it, insane climbing metrics appear.
Combined Training works fine.

[Efejota]

Translation bug

In editing watch face complications in the watch, the Spanish term is “Complicaciones”, but the SW uses the word “Compilaciones” in the settings. I guess it is a more usual term for programmers (compilations). But wrong

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Jordi-C could you add more info ?

[Jordi C]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in SW update 2.37.34 Q3:

@Jordi-C could you add more info ?

Unfortunately not much, every time she uses GYM mode (indoor) she gets insane climbing metrics.
Suspecting it was an issue with GYM mode, she tried combined training instead of gym and no weird climbing metrics at all.

But, if you watch the gym training session, there is no climbing at all. Could it be an APP issue?

Hello,
I like this watchface and the oxygen readings are really more realistic now:

[Miloush]

@Stefano-M64

I refused to use this feature at all and removed it from my menu as it is just random number generator (after comparison with medical grade oximeter and Apple watch).

After your post I did quick check again and I’m sure they (Suunto) did not touched it.

…also other critical bugs like battery drain or other stupid bugs left untouched.

But we have new watch faces now!

[isazi]

@Miloush and we have you posting in every possible thread very useful feedback, what a joy!

[Miloush]

@isazi

Namely 3 threads:

• This thread (sorry my Vertical oximeter realy does not work well)
• Swimming: Updates are passed but the bug remains.
• An my own TAG activity based on custom sport mode automatically

Negative feedback is not useful?

[isazi]

@Miloush feedback is not the same as “I am a developer, Suunto developers are bad, they should have done this and that, look battery drain, battery drain, battery drain (once per thread)”.

This forum is first and foremost a community, a we ask everyone to behave as they are part of it, and care about it.

@Jordi-C
what happens if you change the GYM activity in the app to something like hiking or trailrunning ? Does some ascent/altitude appear is the summary ?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

I tried the Gymnastics mode (not gym) and didn’t have any issues. Is she washing her hands or taking a shower with that mode on ?

[Miloush]

@isazi

Sorry, my bad…

What a wonderful watch faces we have now!

Btw I would never say Suunto developers bad! They deliver great stuff. I’m just bit disappointed in their priorities (which is probably matter of management)

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Miloush lol

[Todd Danielczyk]

@Jordi-C @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

I am wondering if there could possibly be water or sweat in the barometer sensor. I know that can severely impact the altitude numbers. Might be an area to inspect or blow light air in the sensor port to check.

Just thinking out loud on this
