Step counter on Vertical
-
@dreamer_ said in Step counter on Vertical:
But even the algorythm used in the S3 (we don’t know if it’s the one used in the Race) seems a lot more accurate of what we actually have in the SV.
Yes, the algorithm of the S3 is widely considered the least prone to over counting steps.
-
@pilleus nice comparisons . My Suunto 3 was also very accurate for step counting. My S9PP counts almost twice as many steps, which was a surprise when I switched watches.
-
@pilleus it would be very interesting if you could recheck the step counter with similar tests you made before.
For me it seems that is not working after the fix. I still need to check at the end of the day but I woke up at 6:10AM and at 7:45AM the watch says that I have more than 1400 steps, which is totally impossible.
-
@pilleus . The counter seems fixed for me, which is good news. It is not counting steps all time like before. So good news.
My guess is that they are using now the other algorythm. I don’t know, of course. But It makes sense. Very well Suunto! -

Very well Suunto!Step counter is working better since the update, but the result is far away from the Suunto 3 and the real steps. I will check it the next days and do some tests with 9PP and Vertical.

@pilleus my impression is also that it is not counting all time like It was before but It is still counting more steps than it should. In fact, I published a post in other thread but I reseted the watch and I need more data to be sure.
-
This is definitively working much better than with the previous firmware. At least like 30% less steps are measured, which is fine.

I agree.

@pilleus thanks for checking it. So It has been improved but is still counting more than it should and more than the S3 (which was perfect), as we were talking about
-
Neither the Vertical nor the 9PP count steps if the watches are worn in a trouser pocket next to the pedometer.
A direct comparison is therefore not possible.
