    @2b2bff I agree with you 100%. Beyond that I feel like the initial post was pretty aggressive. We are a community of people who help others better understand their Suuntos. I am not sure if a random rant on this board will attract the attention from the main designers that you are hoping for. I am guessing they have long term strategies and planning that is not dictated by random posts on this forum. Would it not be more productive to come here asking for help or work arounds from people who have been using Suuntos for years? Interesting other info might be that even though Garmin has the feature I have had issues with it slowing down my watch going into a few days of the same activity. Even DC Rainmaker has spoken about how Garmin struggles with such large .fit files as they grow over so many miles.

    @bbx100 Same issue here (vertical 2)! It looks like an old bug that had already been fixed, but somehow it seems to be back again. Also, I’m not completely sure, but it seems that some OTA updates may be installed on the watch without any notification.

    @Squirrel Yes, Vertical 2. This was something that I’ve never seen before - the grey Climb Guidance segment. So perhaps a new version of Suunto App is to blame. Edit: in fact I can still repro this by loading the same route: [image: 1786397308951-1000005704.jpg]

    @paul28 I recently started using the suunto+ stryd app on my race s and was puzzled why I sometimes see groundcontacttime and other metrics beside power and sometimes only power. Now I know. I also have the problem that my heartrate sensor looses connection with my watch and doesn’t reconnect. That’s going on for over half a year and no solution in sight. There might be a next firmware update which might arrive in august but that will not contain a fix. And a firmware after that? I really doubt it. I will report this to suunto support to keep the pressure on.

    @lothoreSimon Bonsoir, Avez-vous essayé de laisser la montre charger pendant une longue période ? Ne pas se rallumer comme ça, c’est étrange. Peut-être que le câble est mort ou que la brique de charge est morte, à vérifier en premier. Sinon, oui, vous avez raison : la réparation et la maintenance des montres, à long terme, ce n’est vraiment pas super. Ils ne peuvent que vous accorder une réduction et ne peuvent pas reprendre la montre en échange d’une réduction. Après, c’est une histoire de coûts : maintenir des montres de sport leur coûterait énormément, malheureusement. Je crois qu’aucune marque ne fait mieux en la matière. Sinon il y a la Suunto Core Alpha…

    @laurent.claustre well yes, updated the app yesterday and immediately synced a route i had in library - which i know was not working previously. Now, i didn’t hike it to confirm, but preview (from navigation) shows it is fine now, as opposed to how it was before. I encourage you to update the app and try.

    Bonjour, Comment se fait-il que chez Suunto,il n’y ai pas la possibilité de voir les parcours avec différentes couleur suivant les difficultés ? À moins que je ne l’ai pas trouvé. Voir modèle de “Oruxmaps” [image: 1780729547970-7ea60608-3e85-4e93-9a70-ae5776765c0b-oruxmaps.jpg]

    I know that HR measurement at the wrist can be difficult and it is better to use a chest strap. However, even for normal walking (not even Nordic walking) I get horribly wrong measurements, e.g. yesterday the watch showed a maximum of 139 bpm in the afternoon, but an 24h-ECG (which should be 100% accurate) shows a maximum of 106 bpm in the morning (it is hard to search for the same time span). Anyhow, the difference is not acceptable! Yes the watch has correct settings (left arm) and is correctly attached to the wrist. What can I do? I need to track my pulse.

    Good day, I have a Suunto Spartan Ultra and have had it for 8 years. From my last Samsung UI update my watch has not synced my daily steps with the Suunto app. I have tried the following but not success: Restart phone and watch. Reinstall Suunto App Force stop Suunto App Unpair watch from phones Bluetooth and reconnect. Gave all items on Suunto App permission. Made sure Suunto APP and phone is not on energy saving mode. If anyone has a solution please assist. Kind regards

    @zhangschmidt while looking for some material in order to get back some old movescount features like training plan I stumbled uppon what maybe was your site. You had a lot of material, which unfortunately is not up anymore, if you still have some of them ,specially in what would concern movescount training plans I would be keen to have it to see if I can reproduce something.

    I haven’t used my D5 since January; I got it out of the cupboard today to charge it as it’s dead, but I can’t remember how to attach the charger. I’ve searched the manual but it just says ‘attach’, it doesn’t explain how. There’s a red thing on the end of the cable which I seem to recall ‘snaps’ onto the watch, but right now it’s not snapping onto anything - it doesn’t stick to the back of the watch like I seem to remember. Have I got this totally wrong? Please can someone explain in simple terms how to attach the charger?! Thanks

    Interesting take! A lightweight Suunto with Stryd support would be a game-changer for runners. I doubt they’ll add it, but if they did, I’d consider it too. The T6c was legendary—2000 miles is impressive!

    @Tomas5 A little late, but yes - at least my Race S has automatic brightness. It works sometimes good, sometimes really bad. Must of the summer with the bright sun coming from one side you either have a really bright and readable display (sun side) or its unreadable (shadow side). Yesterday on a sunny autumn trailrun in the woods it worked really great. I think the more dizzy light helps. My conclusion is: AMOLED can work great - when the software helps to optimize the light settings. There is room for improvement and so is hope…

    @Alpha-156.42 said in OHR: Why do people believe that optical heart rate sensors, no matter if they’re from Garmin, Apple, or other brands, can measure heart rate accurately in every situation? This is why, text directly from suunto race 2 product page: The redesigned back panel enables better heart rate measurement from the wrist. The result? A seamless, powerful training experience. But text that it doesn’t work for everyone or every skin tone is buried somewhere in usermanual only. It is same with sleeptracking or any other metric. If you sell device for 500€ and advertise that it does something, then you must expect that people will require that advertised features just works. This is overal problem of marketing, not just Suunto.

    @sky-runner Ok, I think I see where you mean - that small section between the two dots (waypoints or turns)? So you think it just skipped ahead while you were somewhere on section 6? (Sorry, I’m trying to follow along.) Perhaps in addition to the watch always trying to figure out which direction you’re traveling, it’s also always trying to figure out where you are along the route, rather than just assuming you are strictly moving from one point to the next. So maybe somewhere along section 6, it incorrectly guessed you were farther along in your route (since the paths cross at 6/7) and updated the directional arrow accordingly, but hadn’t yet updated the distance remaining since that lags behind. I’d bet if you had followed the light blue path, away from your car, the remaining distance would have also skipped ahead soon after. But since you followed the route as planned, it didn’t have time to adjust to this mistake. Whatever is going on, you are correct that it’s screwy and inconsistent.

    @duffman19 said in Suunto navigation tendency to auto-reverse route when it shouldn't. Bug or misguided feature?: I think the best solution is to offer a menu option to navigate a route backwards, so the user must knowingly select it. I agree, happened to me today as well. I may be mistaken but iirc that was possible when I used the Ambit 3 peak

    @raven I totally agree with you on this. I would seriously consider it as a daily driver if it has better watch faces (or at least updates rather than the original set still…) and maps. I could probably live without ZS, but I love Climb Guidance and better watch faces.

    @Thunderchicken Yes, there is a SuuntoPlus app named Emergency Info that does exactly this. When active, it rotates between two screens: one showing medical details, and another showing emergency contacts. It takes up one of the two available SuuntoPlus slots and is only visible while recording an activity, but it would serve a similar purpose as your note. It would be nice to have this feature always available as a widget. Maybe in the future SuuntoPlus apps will work this way… [image: 1758318937437-img_de4b173e85d7-1.jpeg]

    I also encountered that bug and first thought it wouldn’t work. If you look closely, you should be able to see a marker in the grey area after 10min. The good side of the bug: when it turned green I know that I temporarily crossed LT1

    @dombo I got rid of my ghost sensor via a hard reset. The problem that my power meter is detected as a speed sensor that does not transmit data remained. So I decided to downgrade to the prior version because support advised me to do so.

    @pavel.samokha Is there any hope that the Balkans will get back the contour lines above the 200 m limit anytime soon? I’m really struggling to understand why some regions get this but others don’t. This has now been going on for years, and I tend to buy a new watch every 2-3 years. So it spans the entirety of this watch’s lifetime with me. Why do some regions get better treatment regarding maps? Should this be presented to buyers so they know that, depending on the region they live in, some features could not work as expected? I love Suunto ecosystem and build quality, but I’m not sure I’d accept this limitation on my next watch TBH.
