    The GPS quality has been dropped since 2 months,

    It comes my concern with s9b as well, the GPS quality drops after a period of use.

      @zhang965 if this was really the case and is not just perception, then there is absolutely no technical reason for the watch being the reason for this.
      GPS quality can depend to the GPS system settings, weather, season, solar activity, and so many other things…

        @egika It depends on what @zhang965 means with “GPS quality drops”.

        I agree that there are so many variables, but the watch can be one of them because it receives firmware updates. So if algorithms change during the lifetime of the watch it can be that the watch behaves different (better or worse). This can be interpreted as GPS deterioration.

          @surfboomerang there has been no GPS firmware update for the S9P since it was released, though.

                  I talk about S9B and S9P… both of them had a very brilliant GPS performance, but after some months later…another story.

                    yes, but the GPS quality drops on my S9P, do I have to study the weather, season, solar activity and other things before my exercise?

                    seriously, Since my weight has boosted, my S9P’s GPS quality is getting worse and worse.

                        of course not. Because no one has any influence on those things. I am just saying that varying GPS performance has nothing to do with the watch insides as that has not changed for a while.

                            Sw wise no. We would not do any degradation etc.

                            However, HW wise you never know.

                                @egika temperature, pressure, fluids etc can affect sensitive equipment, such as our watches, and may degrade it by constant exposure. I think @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos to that type of changes was referring.
