S3F no altitude recorded

It seems that the watch doesn’t support proper altitude with the connected GPS. I am on android with the latest SA and lates firmware on the watch.

Using the same phone, I was able to record proper altitudes in Strava last month on the same route.

Is this expected behavior or I can report it as a bug?

It’s a bug (SA bug), and you don’t need to report. It’s the most famous bug in this forum, and it’s supposed to be fixed in coming in next weeks.

Interesting, if I export the activity from sport tracker and the import it in strava, I see the elevation information. Do the gpx files contain the information and it’s just not present or strava is doing interpolation based on the GPS track?

Anyways this is a workaround I guess.

@nikolavp strava always calculates altitude per GPS point based on their maps

@nikolavp It seems that the problem is in SA…

@nikolavp can you paste the gpx file here ?

@nikolavp I can see there is no elevation on the GPX so it’s strava doing that.

It’s now 2020. Still no altitude. Given the heart rate is also inaccurate on a bike, the watch is not very useful beyond giving a distance and speed.

Most disappointing watch.
