Zonesense readings

@Ian-Beveridge there is no point in looking at the graph, what matters is just the zone you are in

@isazi Thank you for the clarification and simplification.
So…
New thresholds are calculated for each workout and the 3 zones are all that counts. The scales and graphs are meaningless.
Today on my two hour bike ride there was no measurement of ZoneSense thresholds in terms of heart rate. I’ve only seen this difference shown for aerobic threshold - never anaerobic threshold. Tying the two systems together like this is also very useful - when it happens - if it happens.

@Ian-Beveridge to be honest, also the thresholds do not matter if you are just using ZoneSense

Ieri sera al dal 16 km in poi stranamente la mia fascia cardio ha smesso di funzionare

Hi sorry for posting this here as well but there are no answer in others treads. I and others here in the forum do not get any ZoneSence data at all after the latest firmware update. Nothing on my side have change and it does not work on my Vertical och Race 2. Before the latest update work as it should. In the watch app it only states waiting for data, on iPhone app (latest beta version) it does not show up at all.

@isazi Okay! But don’t the ZoneSense thresholds and their shifting values inform us of anything? …or am I still stuck in an out-of-date paradigm?

There’s a bug with ZoneSense - in real time on the watch (Race S) it just randomly stops tracking while behind the scene it’s correctly logging changes and proper data (as viewed on the phone app). Once it stops displaying proper data it doesn’t recover during the workout.
The following screengrab shows data collected for an hour - but the watch stopped displaying the data changing from before half way through. There were calculations for both thresholds. This is the fourth time the live tracking has failed for me.
-
The ZoneSense bug - to which nobody has replied - is manifesting itself in two ways so far.
When tracking cycling the ZoneSense in real time on the watchface just stops (as reported ) but behind the scene data is still being collected and displayed in the Suunto phone app. The bug usually appears about half and hour into the workout. (one hour session)
When tracking running the ZoneSense real time data is displayed without problem over the entire one hour session. Then when accessing the data in the Suunto phone app there is absolutely no data for ZoneSense.
It’s a mess!

@Ian-Beveridge I think if you consistently see a ZS Aerobic Threshold below your set AT you might want to think about changing your zones. I typically use ZS for Recovery, Endurance and Steady State runs (Steady State intervals are no less than 20 min.) I use Power for short hill intervals and either ZS or Power for Tempo intervals, which are 8-10 min for me.
When I am fresh my set AT and LT are very close to those I see in ZS. However, during most of my training I am not fresh and my ZS zones are typically lower. I use ZS intensity zones during my runs to help me gauge RPE as I typically will go too hard when I feel good. -
@Ian-Beveridge I have been having some issues with my Smartsensor disconnecting and ZS stopping. I don’t know if this is my belt or a firmware issue but I have reported the problem. It might be related to yours as well.
