Resources - high drop after a walk

[ChrisA]

@helgonet12 I had this too, see my post some months ago:

Cheers Christian

good morning guys.

What i also noticed is that if you do a reset on the watch (press upper button for x seconds) the ressource is automatically set to 50% after “reboot”.

is this the expected behavior?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@snusr yes. That is expected as it looses it inner state. They will come up or down to their level shortly after.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Hi! I used running app instead of walk and it did not have the same drop as before. I was out walking later today since I had to go to work earlier so I will try again tomorrow.

I looked for indoor running but could not find it? do you mean treadmill? I have looked twice for indoor running but it is not there.

There is also some wired behaviour when scrolling down the sports modes using the button down. after a while it start to scroll down buy it self really fast until it hits the last sportmode. It does not happen if using touch. I tried this I a couple of times and it was the same every time.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Hi! I have during the weekend tried different activities like running, hiking and walking but it is the same on all. Hiking had the big drop as walking. The strange thing tough is that when I used running instead go walking this Saturday the resources worked fine. but today I used running instead of walking and I got the same big drop as walking (see picture)

Just noticed the behavior this week because I decided to record my commute to work. Same huge drop in resources (today from more than 80 to 20) after a mellow 30 minutes bike ride.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Hi! Tested the walk activity today and same behaviour (big drop) happens on the new firmware 2.14.12.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@helgonet12 yes this was not fixed in this FW. Walking will produce the same issue if there are HR inconsistencies.

[helgonet12]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos ok. I thought so. Just wanted you to know . Hoping it will come with the next update. Happy Easter to you and everyone else in the forum.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Hi. Any news about the fix for recourse drop on the S9B? It’s been a while since the first report of the issue. I know it is not the most important issue but still it should have been fixed I think during this time. Thanks.

I think I had the same ‚feature‘ with my S9PP same days ago… I started ‚Trailrunning‘ for a short time in the morning when I walked on the parking area in front of my work… I wanted to calibrate the altitude… about 30 second and a lost of resources from about 70% to 30%… I nearly couldn‘t stop laughing…

It’s a bug that was and is present in s5p, s9p and s9 with latest firmware, but there is a workaround.

@André-Faria thanks for the info but it doesn’t work. I have tried different resting heart rate values but with the same result. I also think that correct resting heart rate should work buy default and not to find a work around. It is something wrong with the algorithm. It worked just fine before 2021 but after an update the resource drops to zero or close to. And it only happens if you do an activity in the morning/ before lunch. If I don’t do an activity before lunch the resources works just fine.

Thanks for the info. May help Suunto debug the issue. But if not mistaken this algo was from first beat.

This is one of the reasons I stopped using my 9PP for 24/7 tracking. My resources never seemed ‘correct’ and I would quite often be at zero after just a day at work.

[helgonet12]

@André-Faria if you want I can provide with more info. Let me know if it’s needed.

I don’t , ambit 3 doesn’t have that hehe.
When I had devices with that function I found annoying that behavior. 15min breathing or stretching in the morning was enough to drop resources.

@wakarimasen I have the same experience with resources. I’m not sure what it is supposed to do. It’s neither accurate nor useful in its current state. When you combine that with weak sleep tracking capabilities compared to Garmin or Apple, I’m a bit underwhelmed at the current state.

[wakarimasen]

@seanvk Same for me, frustratingly. I love the look of the watch and the functionality otherwise. The app is great too. I am convinced that the ‘lifestyle’ data (sleep tracking and resources etc.) is not reliable, because there is not enough data collected vs other companies.

[A Former User]

I feel the same. My 9pp ohr readings compared to my H10 are totally wrong. So any data produced from the crazy ohr I get is not reliable. Garbage in, garbage out.
