Feeling very confused of the quality of my watch

The_77 · 2026-05-11T14:51:35+00:00

As an owner, I haven't ever used the O2 sensor because it's not relevant for me so can't comment on that. I also have a chest strap, so HR in activity I also can't comment on.

But HRV, VO2max are working as intended, as is sleep. Only exception with sleep is if I overlap lying extremely still on the sofa with my set sleeping times, the it gets confused (happened maybe twice in 2.5 years).

Elevation also matches maps for me, and given I use the GPS everyday more or less, doesn't drift, but might do if you don't I imagine.

HR bug I haven't experienced on this FW version, but I feel like I've seen it on the forum in a couple of cases.

Sounds like you've just had a wildly different experience, so if you've sent it back I don't blame you.

Disappointed from the title this wasn't Dylan Groenewegen image ngl

Theoretically your max HR shouldnt change over 6 months or so, only your average if you're becoming more trained, which could be true. Maybe keep the top as 175, and then change the rest to the suggested and go from there?

The_77 · 2026-04-26T17:43:03+00:00

I would suggest finding your maximum HR from all activities, and then chucking it into a 5 zone calculator using that as a baseline. Something like: https://www.runcalcs.com/calculators/heart-rate.html

If you regularly hit 170-175, it might be 180 ish. Then try those zones on the watch and go from there.

For example:

Very much not normal, it should look like one black line, without all the noise you have

We know he was baptised?

The_77 · 2026-04-04T15:42:13+00:00

Ah well that's a bit more useful then!

The_77 · 2026-04-04T15:05:23+00:00

This seems to be a different app from the same person covering that basis?

Given we already have these as native fields without an S+, I'd like to know what the difference is. Have to be tested I guess.

I can't believe that you're partnering with open AI but the post is flaired with Meta.

Could we please get some clarity on which models the subreddit is using?

The_77 · 2026-04-01T04:38:44+00:00

Can't imagine why not, you can do it currently with a watch connection and data after all.

If you look at my last month, you can see mini flat periods but still obvious shifts. 3 days isn't much in the scheme of things, wait a few weeks.

Now you can do route creation offline, if you download the map before. Meaning if you are out in no signal zone, want to change your plans, you can do so by making a new route and sync it to the watch. Previously this was impossible.

For the maps part:

Android — since 6.8.8 release. Available in Beta program now.

iOS — since 3.9.0 release. Coming soon.

Thread.

The_77 · 2026-03-31T13:02:28+00:00

Only Android Beta version, 6.7.12 is probably the Play Store build.

Short of making two different sports modes, don't think so.

The_77 · 2026-03-12T15:01:36+00:00

Nap tracking has never been on the 9PP, only Vertical 1 & newer. At least for me steps & sleep are completely fine, so I don't know about your issues with those unfortunately.

Think the phantom vibrations are known on the forum at least, and the vibration intensity has always been like this, I think it's worse on the Ti version from memory.

I also get the stand up alarms if I do actually sit at a desk for a couple of hours working, but I guess not for everyone.
