  @duffman19 Thank you, curiously, the navigation still worked exactly. But it makes sense what you explain. Thank you

  Seems like the old thread got resurrected. My expectations are the same - to get the software more polished. I use map, navigation, and climb guidance features very extensively - every week, sometimes multiple times per week. In my opinion it continues to be a mess. Almost none of this stuff works flawlessly - that is unless you use these features in the most most basic and straightforward way. There is a large number of quirks and bugs, and unfineshed rough edges. I could easily make a list of probably 10-15 issues that I continue to hit on every long run including: The watch not following the navigation route as planned and jumping from one part of the route to another Navigation direction reversing - almost guaranteed at a turn-around. Also often the route is reversed right from the start. Climb guidance switching direction (going right to left), swapping colors (green for uphill), or just plainly not working correctly and showing me on an uphill segment while I and descending Climb guidance zooming working incorrectly or event refusing to zoom Light blue navigation arrows not being visible Off-route notifications when I am not off route and the watch shows me right on top of the route The above is what I could remember in a few minutes, but there are many more issues. If someone at Suunto took a comprehensive look at this area of functionality and made sure it offers a more polished and reliable experience for trail runners, with all features completed and working correctly, this would be the best thing for me to have in the next update. But in the last almost 2 years of owning 3 different Suunto watches I am continuously frustrated by the lack of improvement in these core areas of functionality. The only reason I continue using a Suunto watch is because there are no significantly better alternatives from competitors.

  I reported this, it seems a backend/app issue of some kind because it affects watches with all firmware versions. Let me know if it happens again next week (it happened to me on Friday), but I believe it should be fixed soon.

  ​Hi everyone, ​I contacted Suunto Support regarding an issue with Heart Rate zone distribution and TSS calculations for activities synced from my Hammerhead Karoo unit. ​Currently, third-party imported activities ignore custom HR zones set on the watch and instead rely on Suunto’s default backend algorithms. As a result, rides synced from my Karoo end up with mismatched HR zones (e.g., shifting Zone 2 efforts into Zone 1), which directly distorts HR-TSS, CTL, and ATL tracking in the Suunto App. ​I strongly request that Suunto allows manual HR zone configuration directly within the Suunto App (or enables synced activities to respect the watch’s custom HR zone settings/LTHR). This would ensure that data imported from head units like Hammerhead is categorized accurately. ​Below is the official response I received from Suunto Support confirming this current limitation: Thank you for contacting Suunto Support and for providing the detailed information. We understand that you are recording cycling activities with your Hammerhead Karoo 3, which are then automatically synced to the Suunto App, and that you have noticed differences in the heart rate zone distribution between the Hammerhead platform and the Suunto App. Regarding imported activities from third-party platforms, the heart rate zone analysis displayed in the Suunto App is calculated based on the settings and algorithms used by Suunto. The HR zones configured on your Suunto Race S watch may not be applied to activities imported from other services, which can result in differences between the original platform and the Suunto App. At the moment, the Suunto App does not support setting independent heart rate zones specifically for imported third-party activities. Therefore, there is currently no setting available to force imported activities to use the HR zone configuration from Hammerhead. We appreciate your feedback regarding this functionality. We will forward your comments to the relevant team as user feedback for future improvements. Thank you again for your understanding and support. Kind regards, Suunto Support Team

  @duffman19 So I tried first with a short stretching activity. Delete from SA, log out of SA, login again, resync and it showed the activity again. However. doing so with my long run, seems to not resync although it’s still on the watch (at least showing on the watch. I noticed. Daily HR, steps, resources are all in SA including the activity time. But GPS and activity stats are not. Would be great to ad Fit/json manualy Back into SA. That’s possible? Is it possible json and fit files are deleted if you uninstal SA?? Would be an explanation I can’t find them on my phone anymore.

  @metrodraft Try turning off and on the Bluetooth on your phone. I believe this happened to me before and that’s what fixed it.

  @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

  Hello everyone, As some of you may have seen here, I had the intention to create an app to send a gpx by bluetooth to the ambit 3. Let’s say I got a bit too much enthusiastic about it, and not only that feature is possible on android (linux is flaky), but also, I went to vibe code a “suite” for android/linux for Ambit 1, 2,3, traverse, and kailash family. USB/USB-OTG and Bluetooth support for the watches that have bluetooth. The project is here And here are some of the features: Sync time with watch: from the current time of the device or another timezone Update orbital data: gps and glonass (for the glonass devices) Device manual: download them in pdf format Activities: download from the watch,view on a map, export them in gpx, fit, to local, cloud or 3rd party services (strava, runalyze, intervals.icu, others to come) Routes: Import/send a gpx route to the watch. export the routes on the watch to gpx format POIs: Import/send a POI to the watch (via a map search, or coordinates), export the POIs on the map to gpx Calendar: visual calendar with days where activities were done Totals: totals of a certain activity Backup: backup routes and POI altogether to a folder. Backup of your watch firmware (these watches firmwares should be matching the hw version) Intervals: a visual workout builder, which later can be used as an app on the watch (I recommend to use suunto link to install them) Sports modes: sports mode editor for the watches Firmware: flasher of firmware to the watch (linux and android tested) Suunto HR Sensor: connection of the sensor, check battery level, firmware version, etc Kailash specific: places visit, countries visited, export activity (categorized by default as walk) (kailash only had ios 7R support) GPS Pod Support : integration of Suunto GPS Pod support (experimental - no device to test) Suunto T6 support: integration of Suunto T6 support (experimental - no device to test) Garmin Etrex specific: download activities (categorized by default as walk), import/export POIs, import/export routes. Right now, most of features were tested on: Ambit 3 Peak Traverse Kailash Lenovo X230 with linux mint Panasonic FZ-m1 Tablet with android 12 rom I don’t have Ambit 1, 2, 2r, 2s, 3r 3s and a traverse alpha to test, so some features may work other may not. If someone has these watches and want to help, drop me a pm. Same for planned workouts, training plans , guided workouts (Manual 3.19/3.39) Beware: I have ZERO programming skills and knowledge, zero github knowledge, it was fueled in stubbornness, coffee and good will to bring some features for these watches for some operative systems. Also to be clear, never my intention to replace Suunto link or suunto app (which I trully enjoy). Some features like firmware flashing, should be in my opinion only be done in linux or android in last case scenario (Even if I tested them). Hope to get some feedback, and if not allowed, just delete it and drop me a pm. Wanna thank everyone in this forum but specially @margusl @sebchastang @dimitrios-kanellopoulos @pavel.samokha More Screenshots on GitHub APK and Instalable to be realeased this week (just ironing some stuff) [image: Screenshot-from-2026-08-15-21-41-10.png] [image: Screenshot-from-2026-08-17-19-58-57.png] [image: Screenshot-from-2026-08-17-20-01-26.png] [image: Screenshot-from-2026-08-17-20-01-45.png]

  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!
