@inkognito Same setup and problem here! 🤬

And I need my S9 baro in one week for a multiday and night trailrun. Without backlight while recording an activity!

I was always happy with multiple Suunto products, but now its painful. The other bad experience with the service is my ‘jumping’ barometer sensor. I send the watch to the Soonto repaircenter and they did only a firmware update (it was in the garantie time)

@peter-tönz I mean the problem with the missing backlight with a custom power mode!

I know I posted it in a thread, but please forward it to Suunto that they might check their GPS tracking “code”
Thanks

@theguyfromthesummit btw I checked my mountain activities and I seem to get similar results to what you have on the right.

TheGuyFromTheSummit

@dmytro ok, strange. Everyone of my friends using a Suunto has the same problem as I have.

DMytro

@theguyfromthesummit ¯_(ツ)_/¯
On another note I seem to remember (but maybe just imagining) that suunto tweaked it’s smoothing algo to prevent cutting corners etc, thus making it a little more susceptible to noise which seems to be impacting your trainings.

TheGuyFromTheSummit

@dmytro this might be the reason.
checking some cycling tracks (10-60km/h) and it is really smooths.
Maybe I just have to run faster

DMytro

@theguyfromthesummit I hike, not run, so dunno. But I wear my watch on the right hand.
But of course good luck with your 60kmh runs!

So I just sent the logs to Suunto (19th Aug 12:30 CET). The s9b crashed during activity (black screen no response from button presses.). That’s 2nd crash (one in one out of activity) in less than 4 months (it looks a lot when compared to 0 in 2y on the f6x doesn’t it?)
Details: Snap to route, HR Belt, Suunto plus: Strava relative. Didn’t restart (or continue) the activity.

S9 (non-baro): Not sure if this wasn’t reported before, but in all the previous firmwares the activity icon in the watch logbook was grey before it was synced and turned to appropriate colour (yellow for runs, green for walks etc.) after the sync. Now the icon remains grey even after the sync. Or is it just me? Perhaps the lucky Suunto field testers could check whether this was/wasn’t already solved in the “autumn firmware” we all hope for
