Suunto Ambit3 Peak display begins to striped
-
Hi All,
I would like to ask you, what does that mean if the display of Ambit3 Peak begins to stipped.
This watch bought in the year 2014. I don’t know when manufactured. The SN#1438108362
I attached an image about it.
Thank you in advance. -
@lkovari
it means it’s time for a suunto 9 upgrade
… just kidding… I suggest you request a service repair at Suunto.
from far (it’s a bit blurry) it looks like in my friend’s old graphic calculator with broken display -
Hi dude,
What else you could beg a 5 years old electronic watch to give?
Go get a s9

I guess you already tried adjusting screen contrast? Sometimes Ambit screen artefacts go along with barometer issues, are baro & temp readings OK?
-
I’m no expert at this sort of thing at all, but I looked at that picture and had to wonder whether there’s a chance a tiny bit of water vapor might have somehow gotten in somewhere. It might be worth sitting it in a tub of rice in a dry place for a day or two and seeing if that takes care of it.

… this would help if there’s a leak in the watch but not in case he pressed a button while the watch was under water.
if it is moisture, i don’t see this clearly, it would be worth a trial -
press lap and start the buttons and enter the service menu. There you will find display test. If it does not show errors, try resetting the clock

Hi,
Thank you for your suggestions advices.
Unfortunately, the contrast settings not helped, the display test was fine in the service menu, I consulted with the service center, he told, later or sooner should be replace the display, therefore:
I bought a brand new Ambit3 Peak HR black again.
The price-value ratio is very good, I have two years warranty.
At last but not least the accuracy is also very good of the built-in positioning system. (GPS)
The following writings perfectly represent it:
