Great to find other users of the
Lumi! I am almost starting to feel stupid, thinking of using my
Suunto warranty to get watch #5...
I have exactly the problem described, inaccurate altitude readings. Maybe related to when watch is attached to my bare arm, and I am sweating? Altimeter may pulse +/- 50 meters, and the log total of course gets completely insane total ascent/descent figures.
When replacing my 3rd
Lumi,
Suunto replied on my direct question that yes, it could be related to me using it directly against the skin, more or less admitting possibilities for bad gauge positioning on the back of the watch. Forgot to bring my carabiner attachment during my most recent hikings, so I do not know if this is solving the problem. But, of course, a wrist watch should be possile to use on the wrist!
My boyfriend's
Core is working perfectly under the same conditions, when we are compering. Annoying!
Should maybe ask for a replacement, or a refund?
Shame that I love everything else about the watch, except for having a day counter instead of a normal hours/minutes timer.
