  • Large screen adventure watch for outdoor expeditions and training V2

    Have to say, what you don’t know you cannot miss. But last year, in a very dark hotelroom, the screenflashlight of my race s was sufficient for my wife to find something on the table while I could stay in bed. So, for now, I’m in “what’s all the fuss about” mode. The digital crown of my race s is complex. Just using it to scroll up or down through menus or items is hideous. The 5 button layout of my previous garmin was better, but with touchscreen I don’t use the buttons very often. But to zoom in and out in a map it’s great. Again with a but. I was used to zoom on the garmin and it was horrible. Complex and buggy as hell. So is the crown just better that worst case garmin or would a 5 button Suunto implementation beat the digital crown? Might. perhaps. Not unlikely. Have to say, the race s provides the features I want in the smallest possible case, so the vertical 2 wouldn’t be competition for my race s (for me). So 5 buttons or a digital crown wasn’t a consideration. Have to say, 5 buttons shouts a bit more outdoorsy and a digital crown a bit more watch like.

    @TiThion I have the same on the Race S and took it as an undocumented feature. Fast and easy to activate the screen during the run

    @Manuel-Extreme I agree that V1 still is the best watch suunto has built in recent years. what distinguishes phones from watches is, that watches do not need security updates. V1 works perfectly well with the last release. of course we see new features on V2 and R2 that would be nice to have. if I hadto decide today for a new suunto I would still go for V1.

    The models of garmin that are testen in a scientific way (not by some sport gadget blogger) shows that hrv isn’t that accurate on those models. (See https://the5krunner.com/2026/05/05/forerunner-265-hrv-study/ , links to sources on that page) I have no reason to believe other models or other brands are more accurate.

    @SamuelP I once had a problem installing watch faces, so I reset the settings. Now I’ve decided not to wait for the watch update after all, but to reset the settings instead. Of course, it’s a shame that I have to set everything up again, download maps, and wait for the HRV and ZoneSense ranges to be calculated. I’m curious to see how Suunto will resolve this issue—will the new software version help, or is the problem somewhere else entirely, meaning I’ll have to reset the settings anyway?

    Bought my S9PP right after christmas 2022, and right now, battery life is low, some bugs like stopped OHR in the middle of the night, connection between chest strap and watch sometimes gets lost, and some other minor things, I think it may be a good plan to buy another one at the end of year. Still kinda hoping for am updated version of the watch and the form factor, because to be honest Race 2 will look to big on my arms and for wearing it 24/7 I guess it will be too big for me… I could use the S9PP for normal daily life and the Race2 for sports, but where is the point in this. Too much hassle.

    Good evening all, I understand that the topic was discussed in between topics and comments, I just wanted to submit this in a fresh format to request for advice. My Suunto 9 G1 is not charging any more, and I am trying to figure out what is wrong. Until now I have cleaned the contacts, reset the watch, tried with another cable and with different chargers. The watch might start charging for a while, but if it’s unplugged it doesn’t continue charging. I consider this watch as a strong ally in my daily routine and activities, and I don’t want to quit it. Is there any advice? Thank you

    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

    I thought the Wahoo cycling cadence sensor would connect to the Suunto app easily being Bluetooth. Should it? It’s also not connecting to the Ambit3 watch.

    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

    @sky-runner Hello, soon and if authorized to do this I will put somewhere on this forum a suggestion I developped for a SINGLE figure sport screen. I’m 57 and now very impaired, I swim and even the screen with 3 digits has too small number when I"m with my foggy glasses … I also looked to the SUUNTOPLUS Big number but they are not such big indeed and I do not like the logic of theri display … I havve another idea that I will suggest in a post to come soon I will let you know where it is so that you cna make a criticism of it

    @Matúš Hello yes I know but as you said I only have anymore the two latests 2.50.2X… But with the exact name I could redowload the previous firmware. Don’t you have it ? It should be something like “Sapporo-fw_2.22.60.3383-p-56f364c9” It would definitely save my watch for my world bike travel Thank

    @isazi Hi, I want to add my point of view. I have Suunto Race and I was testing the connection today, since a big race is coming. Until now, I was not using the HR sensor for races, but now I was curious. My HR strap is unfortunately not waterproof enough to wear during the swim. Therefore, I tested, if I can connect it after the swimming part. Once I ended the swim in Triathlon sport mode, I turned on the HR strap. The watch beeped and the strap seemed connected. But, when watching the HR, once I removed it from the wrist, HR vanished. This means, even if the sensor is apparently connected, it still shows the HR data from the watch optical sensor. That’s what I am asking: Is it possible to somehow change the settings to show the HR from the strap rather than watch? Thanks!!

    Is there still demand for a modern MIP endurance watch?

    Yes AMOLED looks great indoors but for long outdoor use I still think MIP has a place. On watches like the Suunto 9 Peak Pro or older endurance models, the always-on readability and battery behaviour just feel more natural for hiking, ultra runs, biking, etc. You glance at it and the information is simply there without the “wake up” feeling AMOLED often has. I d definitely be interested if Suunto released a modern MIP endurance watch again, especially if it kept the cleaner/tool-watch style instead of chasing smartwatch aesthetics. For me the biggest points would be battery life, sunlight readability and lower distraction in daily use. Weight matters too, but I’d still take slightly heavier hardware over another bright AMOLED panel I need to baby during long trips.

    Suunto Core 2!.. For me, this is the best news from the world of watches this year! I love my Core Alpha and I’m curious to see if there will be any hardware or software improvements. Newer isn’t always better. But so far, it looks promising. Just yesterday, I changed the battery in my Core Alpha for the first time in a one year and seven months. I did it in about 30 seconds, sitting on a bench with just a coin. Water resistance is working. A great and affordable survival watch.

    @Beardkowski said in Suunto only a brand for runners?: Suunto only advertises with and for runners. What about mountain bikers and road cyclists? A bit more advertising for cycling would be nice, too. Or is Suunto solely a brand for runners? Many cyclists use a bike computer like a Wahoo ELMENT or Garmin Edge and Suunto doesn’t make any of those, but do have a partnership with Hammerhead Karoo. https://us.suunto.com/blogs/blog/how-to-use-karoo-2-bike-computer-with-suunto https://www.hammerhead.io/blogs/teamjournal/see-the-adventure-ahead-with-suunto While one can connect a cycling power meter to a Suunto watch and get the data that way, it’s likely not perceived as quite as good as a bike computer option.

    @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I wanted to mention that I had one crash a a few weeks ago, for which I had uploaded the logs, and the crash was then reported into the system with help of @Egika . In my case it was a vanilla Run sport with nothing special about it and me not doing anything with the watch at the time of the crash. The only special thing was, perhaps, is that I used the Run sport for the first time on the watch, but previously I did a number of activities with a customized Trail Run sport. If that helps, I can send you the details (crash time, etc) again in the chat.

    @VoiGAS said in HRM 2?: They could just rebrand one of the newer Movesense models and gain features like ECG, temperature and movement. One of the models has the name HR2… It does, but it has a different chip set. I think this is a net-new product.

    @Petr-Manek Suunto’s company policy is not a democracy. Voting for ideas gives the product managers hints. But there are also other sources to make a BC out of the various ideas. This means: voting is never pointless, but also no guarantee for implementation there is almost never a “will not be implemented”. Just Suunto does not share their road map.

    @Egika and it works great! Suunto Chest HR strap can only connect to 1 device at a time. Before the update I had to pick my Race 2 or my Hammerhead bike computer. Now I let the HR strap connect to my watch and broadcast HR to my Hammerhead. Problem solved.

    @zanxion I’m just here to say any change in functionality is preferable configurable, When I bought my watch, on the map screen the datafield showed the distance to next turn. For me that was logical and usable. With a next firmware update this was changed to distance to end. For me, that doesn’t make sense. I know when I arrive at my destination but don’t know the turns. I asked Suunto why they made the change. Support said someone suggested it, so they changed it. With the last update they finally made it user configurable, so everyone can be happy. And yes, the detect activity while on pause really doesn’t work well.
