      or Garmin didnt count running as part of your steps count).

      This is very incorrect - Garmin does include step count as part of running activities (unless there was a specific one you were using). Just confirmed on my Epix from last nights run.
      Note that post activity you will not be able to see a step count for that activity unless you install a 3rd party data field from IQ connect, however during the activity you can have a step field on your tracking screen, and or post activity you can go into the app/web and go into the step widget. Where your running icon is against the daily graph you will notice a sharp increase in your step count. On the app in this widget if you turn your phone into landscape mode it takes the watch into the graph where you can explode it and a long press can give you the step count prior to the activity and then move that to the end of the activity - and a quick substraction can give you an estimate of your step count - not ideal I know and something that should really be native.

      But it is definitely there and false to claim it doesn’t do this.

        @Spree I have given up and don’t expect an acceptable ohr data. Whenever I can I use my H10 and the problem is solved.

          I did some cycling this week, first time with S9PP. I’ve mounted it on the original Suunto bike mount and learned that vibrations nicely resonate with the bike, making them substantially louder than the regular sounds.

          This really is absurd, how loud it is.

            @mikekoski490 All it really takes is to lighten your load and running shoes instead of boots. You would be surprised how far you can go carrying just what you need. I carry a small water filter, 500 ml of water, a light weight jacket, extra shirt gloves and buff for a day in the mountains that could be up to 50k. I should add food too as I take 200-300 kcal/hr, and I don’t use gels.

              @Jamie-BG OK. I didn’t have an EPIX 2 though. I had a Garmin Fenix 6 - 2 years ago. It might have been different then, or pilot error, but no worries. Thanks for the Garmin tips and sorry you felt I was making a false claim! Oh my god… there is a Garmin van parked outside my house - I take it back - it was definitely my Polar Vantage from 5 year ago that did that. 🙂

                @mikekoski490 my Garmin F6x also offered same step data as Epix - must have been your polar.

                  Question to other S9PP users - are you experiencing lag when cycling screens during the workout? It takes up to ~3 or 4 seconds after pressing the middle button for the watch to cycle the screen. After it does with the first one, it’s responsive again, but the first one is nowhere near instant.

                    @Łukasz-Szmigiel Hi. Not specific to cycling screens but I have had the odd slow scrolling in other sports modes.

                      @Łukasz-Szmigiel I don’t notice such lag. The most annoying lag is when starting an activity.

                        Perhaps this is because I’m using endurance instead of performance?

                          Are you doing extra long events? Otherwise why use Endurance? The battery life on the 9PP for Performance is outstanding. I will check this out though, you should not have that lag.

                            @Łukasz-Szmigiel I don’t know cause so far I’ve used only performance and custom mode.

                              @Brad_Olwin if I’m doing 50k in the mountains, I take a ton of water and gels. Very little water in the mountains around me.

                              As for OHR, my S9B is really accurate for normal walking/hiking, however for running it’s not ideal - I think my wrist is too thin I think. But I’ve always worn a H10 so I don’t regard it as an issue. My Gamrin 245, despite it’s short battery life is only 42mm on the wrist and therefore is always pretty much line ball with the H10. It’s the best OHR I’ve ever had on a watch. probs becuase of the size.

                              But like you said, for those of us that run ultra’s, it’s more about walking the hills and running the down’s, so I don’t worry about HR that much, just trying to keep moving and recording the gps track and elevation gain (which the S9B is far better at. The gamrmin has no baro.)

                              Step counting is irrelevant for me. I normally (try to) do 60-90mins strenuous exercise a day so I don’t care about steps. No watch is accurate anyway.

                                @Brad_Olwin because it’s more than good enough and provides longer battery life.

                                To test this, run for ~15 - 20 minutes without touching the watch and then press the middle button once or a couple of times. In my case - the cycling of first screen lags for a few seconds and after that everything is responsive again. The data on the screen is being refreshed without any problems (or I simply don’t notice it being slow).

                                  @skifun on my S9PP, I experiences a constant 8 sec lag, when I start an activity with guides.
                                  While it is known and every time 8 sec, I expect it and live with it. But I hope that it will be solved in the next firmware 😉

                                    @kamarasm there’s lag even without guides, although not 8s, but ~3, maybe 4.

                                      I used my S9PP in endurance mode for a long race in January and I think I experienced the lag you describe.
                                      Every time I wanted to change screens it seemed like I had to initially press the button twice - once to “wake up” the watch (backlight turned on) and again to make the first screen change. Then it worked as normal for subsequent screens (no lag).
                                      At the time I put it down to user error - maybe not pressing the button correctly - because I was wearing gloves and generally very tired. But it could have been screen lag that made it seem that the first button press didn’t work properly.
                                      I’m doing a 50-60hr race at the beginning of April and will probably use endurance mode, so will see how it behaves then.

                                          It was excellent overall, completely reliable and no issues with track quality. I split the race into two activities because I wasn’t sure about storage space (race took 101hrs) but, looking afterwards, it would have been ok as one activity.
                                          Other than the screen lag, the only problem I had was navigation track orientation near the end when moving very slowly or stationary. I’m guessing the compass lost calibration when I charged the watch but I didn’t realise you can calibrate the compass during an activity on the S9PP. I’m assuming that would have fixed it.
                                          Last thing I noticed is that Strava can’t read the power data properly when recording in endurance mode (though duration / pace data is ok, unlike previous problems with FusedTrack files). But this is a specific Strava problem, no problem with TP, Runalyze etc.
                                          There’s a problem with autolaps, where sometimes the watch returns to the first screen, not the screen you were on. But this isn’t specific to endurance mode, it happens in performance mode too.

                                            @MKPotts sounds awesome. Did you notice some parts of path missing gps for like 15 - 30 seconds at random?
