Disappointing Sleep tracking after new update
-
I concur that sleep tracking seems to be more accurate since the update. I couldn’t say ‘exact’, but then I am very good at lying quite still whilst reading, early in the morning, which my SV often thinks is still sleeping, but I accept that!
-
@Tieutieu Sadly hasn’t been the case! The 0:53h and 0:59h days are the final values (edit: the others too)*, and the “good morning” screen seemed to have happened during the night already on those days. I do experience what you’re describing on occasion, though. It’s great when it catches those scenarios and updates the values!
@RaDeck Good to hear!
Whether it’s due to 2.30.38 or just the calibration catching up, last night was spot on again — progress, progress.

@Brad_Olwin I have misgivings about buying the Ultra for sure. But for everyday life in a city it actually has proved worthy. And now that I’ve been diagnosed with a heart condition it probably is going to earn its purchase one day.
But yes, I think next year at some stage there’s a Vertical or a Race in my future.
Oh and the Ultra is crap at sleep… every day it’s way out. Yet my old Baro faithfully gets it right day after day!
-
Must say that since the latest fix my sleep tracking has been quite accurate, some discrepancies mostly under 30 minutes which is an enormous improvement to pre fix date.

A update
Last two days my watch have failed with my sleep recording.
My sleep windows is same as before (23-08) but my watch is only recording 3:14 h of sleep.Have gone to my bed sometime after 23 and I think that is where the problem is.
Yesterday I went to bed late at 01 and slept untli 08. Watch startat recording my sleep at 03 untlig 06.
To bad because last week it nailed every night and because of that all other data was correct to.

@Iggge I’ve got the newest sw version, but still I am getting absolutely ridiculous results every night. The falling asleep and waking up times are decent, but for some reason I’ve been supposedly awake for 2-3 hours every night. Which is false by the way.
It would be nice to know if it can be improved by tweaking the rest HR (I’ve seen contradicting opinions here in the forum). Or I’d like to see more detailed analysis of when does SV think I am awake? Does it confuse light sleep cycles as being awake or is there one continuos “awake” period?
-
@BrunoH The sleep/awake times have settled for me now too, but curiously enough I also still notice the issue you’re describing. Awake hours are also often round numbers, 1:00, 2:00, etc. Yesterday it was 2:00, while I slept like a rock and my HR was steady at the mid-forties throughout, no spikes.
Comms on resting HR rate seem contradicting, but Suunto customer service once instructed me to set the minimum HR at the daytime rest rate, and adjust it down as/if needed. In addition, they mentioned it’s important to ensure the accelerometer has solid data to calibrate on, as movement too is used for calculating sleep data. The accelerometer is (at least in part) calibrated through walking/running activities with GPS on. It might be that part of the equation is messing with the awake time, but it’s indeed guesswork for us

@AnonVerticalOwner hey I have some really good Infos about the physiology from our sleep. If you understand how exactly the Phases are perhaps you can find Out if the Suunto Algorithmus is working good or bad. Awake Times during our sleep is normal… Read it here

For my part, I am having difficulty detecting naps on my vertical. I had the breed before going vertical and had no problems with the breed. Naps were well detected and quantified.
The vertical does not detect naps at all although sleep seems to me to be well monitored (bed/wake up times in accordance with reality) I entered the same physiological data in the race and in the vertical. I don’t understand anything. -
@Fizzgig
Vertical does not track naps.
it’s the Race only that tracks naps -
the vertical having received the race update, I was convinced that the nap detection was activated.
If it’s not, I don’t have any problem
-
@Fizzgig as @freeheeler said Vertical and S9PP do not support naps detection. As of today, only the Race support that. We will see if something changes in 2024, as you know the current algorithm is the first production ready sleep tracking algorithm from Suunto itself.
-
@isazi I hope this will soon change for SV

Last 14 days my Vertical is showing the same data as before the update. According to my Vertical I do sleep about 4 hours/night.
That is clearly wrong and should as be at least 6 hours.
It keep showing that every night I have about 2-4 hours awake time and show wrong wake up time. -

But then… the dark winter time and dry freezing air made my psoriasis really flare and the skin irritation forced me to move the watch to my right wrist. It’s been two nights now and both were flawlessly tracked. Zero minutes spent awake and the time of falling asleep and waking up are as good as they can get. Interesting!
-
This is just getting worse by the day. This is how over 7 h looks like. For two days ago 7 hours was shown as 2.

@Iggge have you tried another band? I had better sleep tracking with any Suunto (besides the Race) when using elastic Nylonbands which could be adjusted much better and also wearing those - even when worn tightly - was much more comfortable. You might also try different positions on either arm (seems to make quite a difference for some people).
I don’t know how the new algorithm for the Vertical works and if HR is used in the sleep calculations, but for me it always worked best, when setting my RHR in the watch about 8 to 10 points above my lowest average HR. -
@ChrisA I have not. Do you have anything you recommend?
-
@Iggge I had/have different ones. One is from Yooside, the other one a cheaper one by Vodtian. I ordered them from Amazon. I also recall, that some people liked the really good Coros Nylonbands which comes with the Apex Pro 2. You just have to make sure it’s at least a bit elastic and a has a Velcro for fastening.

Woke up at 4:55 this morning but the watch shows 7:30…
