    Also to add, I had my S9P on my other wrist, recording in Endurance mode. FusedTrack produced a very impressive track, considering it was only getting a satellite fix every 60sec. Total distance was also close, showing 422km vs 435km with the S9PP in 1sec mode.
    I can post links to the activities for comparison if anyone would find this useful.

      @MKPotts Congratulations!!! that was awesome. Read the report on iRunFar and sounds like a stout event this year.

        @MKPotts in the navigation options, lower button on navigation screen, you should find compass calibration.

          Thank you. I’ve now found it under “navigation settings”. During my race when navigating a route, I’d looked under “compass” and couldn’t find it.
          I assume the compass lost calibration when I was charging the watch, though I’m not sure why it didn’t ask me to calibrate it.
          Hopefully, if I get track orientation issues in the future, calibrating the compass will fix it. It’s only ever been a problem when moving slowly on long races, I assume when moving more quickly gps is used for orientation.

            @MKPotts Well done on the Spine. You were one of the dots I was watching. I’m thinking about doing a race like TOR/Swiss Peaks/Spine with my S9PP next year so I’d love to see a link to your activity for the race.

              I have nothing constructive to say on the actual topic, but from someone who is half way through the couch 2 5k program the fact you can run 268 miles in just over 100 hours continuously is staggering!

              I have huge respect for you 🙌

                The other issue to consider is magnetic interference. If you have magnets on your pack to hold pockets together or to hold your bladder tube, these could interfere with the compass in the watch and require recalibration.

                  I’m not sure how to best share activities in SA, so if these links don’t work, let me know what I need to do.

                  Two activities recorded with S9PP:
                  https://maps.suunto.com/move/markpotts/63c71eb414f9267dafeea053
                  https://maps.suunto.com/move/markpotts/63c95010a3fc32176b5be341
                  (In the first one particularly, I didn’t pause the watch when inside checkpoints, so you’ll see wandering of the track at these points).
                  One activity recorded with S9P in endurance mode (so 60sec/FusedTrack):

                    Thanks! It’s not as hard as it looks though - there’s a lot of walking, even if I hadn’t developed tendinitis. And I find that after a point, the distance no longer really matters, you can just keep going if you look after the basics (feet, food, sleep).
                    I’m not saying it’s easy but, in a different way, shorter ultras (e.g. fast, runnable 100km) are as hard/harder. Definitely don’t be put off if you’re thinking of something similar in the future.

                      Hi,
                      An update about storage space on the S9PP after I’ve continued to use my watch as I get back to running.
                      The original estimate I gave was too low - I forgot that the watch firmware updated after I used it for the first time and this is why the first activity showed summary data only (not because it had been overwritten). My watch has just now overwritten (graphs/tables no longer available) the first activity I recorded after the firmware update. I had the following stored in the watch:
                      90.4hrs running in endurance mode - with power but no HR.
                      19.2hrs running in performance mode - power and HR data (Polar Verity Sense - I assume the same/very similar contribution to file size to the watch OHR but less than a belt because r-r interval data isn’t recorded).
                      7hrs walking in performance mode - HR data (watch sensor).
                      A total of about 117hrs of mixed use. From this I’d estimate at least 120hrs of activity storage space if recording in endurance mode without HR data.
                      All of the above assumes that the presence/absence of graphs and tables in the watch file still indicates that it does/doesn’t remain in the watch memory.
                      Hope this is useful to anyone else looking to record continuous multi-day activities.
