@Frederick-Rochette also have some HR issues. Today my HR went from 60 to 140 when watching morning television. I decided to count to see if that was correct, and I got 64 BPM.
After that I did put on my old Charge 2 to see the HR and that also showed 66, and my Vertical 130+.
Now my HR is always very high (20 or more over other watches).
No idea what has happened…did a hard reset two days agoSeems exactly the watch count exactly the double Beats… 66 you wrote with heart belt 130+ the watch LOOK HERE

@Iggge
On very rare occasions it works well…

Thanks for doing that math for us, @GiPFELKiND. I don’t think the sensor is exclusively reading double the actual HR. The fact is that the LifeQ sensor just isn’t that great and never will be, no matter what future software improvements Suunto may be able to come up with. It simply lacks the number of LEDs and photosensors found on newer sensors from other companies. It’s also probably operating at a very low power for 24/7 monitoring to help conserve battery. That power jumps up (brighter light output) when recording an activity in an attempt to get more accuracy, but the sensor is still handicapped by the lack of inputs.
In my experience, HR numbers seem to hover around 100 bpm while it’s looking for a correct number. Sometimes it finds it, sometimes it doesn’t. Suunto could have chosen to show no reading (sometimes it will briefly show “measuring…”) while it acquires a more confident number, but instead they show the active “hunting” while it looks for a number.
I’m a little confused why people are still demanding accurate HR from this sensor. Yes, I know the watch is expensive and should give us better numbers. I definitely agree with that. But, having read reviews prior to buying the watch, I knew I wasn’t going to get good results from the WHR. So I use an external HR for activities. If you need accurate HR readings 24/7 (not sure who would?), then you’ve got the wrong watch.

@fluca can confirm, only appears to be an issue with airplane mode selected from control centre.
Control centre airplane mode does not work. -
@duffman19 it does seems to be worse since update. Locking to high rates while not moving which I never noticed before.

@ionparvan I haven’t done an update yet (I’m waiting to see what they did with version 2.25.64, after a week there was an update to 2.25.66). Are you saying that only the button can access the widgets? Can’t it be done by swipping the screen? If you don’t mind me asking: does swipping to the right exit each interface menu all the way back to the start screen? Is this option for moving around the interface retained? Has navigating the interface totally changed?

Yes, it has changed. Down button gets you to the widgets. Middle button gets you to your pinned widget and long hold of upper button gets you to your “upper button shortcut”.
Takes some getting used to but I like it a lot better
-
@far-blue Thanks for informations. And how does swipping the screen work? Same as before?

@Ars-Vitae yes

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos i have done trainings on wednesday / thursday / friday but today (saturday) the TSS graph widget on the SV watch displays tuesday / wednesday / thursday: that is the same problem (“values are off by one day. Known issue”) ?

@ionparvan said in Software release 2.30.26:
@runomatic we don’t want to pin only one widget, we want to scroll through the widgets we need with the middle button, I don’t understand why they removed that great option, maybe just to fix the lag problem. No option, no more lag, the problem is fixed.
Why are you talking about a “we”? I think the solution with the bottom button is perfectly fine. You can also sort and deactivate the widgets in the app.
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Thanks.

I also have the no map shown issue since this release. Also it seems to drain the battery way faster once this appears. After a restart, no drain issue until the map doesn’t show again. Seems like it’s always trying to load the map in the background or something.
-
Is anyone not seeing the weekly training complication on the original Vertical and new watch faces? I’ve seen it on a YouTube review but was wondering why it’s not showing up on my Vertical.
Second one from the bottom

A couple of odd things that happened for me, I uploaded a run last week and I noticed it was saying that it was syncing two activities. Thought that was a little odd as it was only the run that I’d done, when I checked in the SA I noticed that for some reason it had recorded 2 seconds of swimming and I had a message saying congratulations on my first pool swim lol
Anyhow, no biggie and I just deleted it from SA. Then at the weekend I had the same thing happen with 5 seconds of canoeing. I thought maybe the first time I had accidentally knocked some buttons and started an activity, but having it happen again with a different activity that you need to scroll way up in the menu to find it must be a weird little glitch
-
@MiniForklift That reminds me of a strange glitch I noticed several days ago - I was on the watchface and pressed the lower button to go to widgets. Watch took me all the way up to the very top of the sport modes instead (somewhere to Unspecified sport). Perhaps there is some minor bug. I was not able to replicate that…

Actually what you’re describing is I think the same as another little glitch I have, it was trivial enough that I didn’t worry about reporting it. When I add, remove or rearrange my widgets in SA once they have synced if I press the bottom button of my watch it takes me into all of the sports modes instead of displaying the widgets. Only seems to do this once though, if I exit and then repress the bottom button the widgets show as normal
-
@MiniForklift Ah, that explains it. I noticed the same behaviour just once. Never seen it since then.
But now you mention it, it was right after rearranging the widgets. -
@MiniForklift Yes! Same behavior here, after changing widgets. Push down button and the watch shows the sportmodes list starting at the end of the list.
