  @prashant We all have different needs, but I can offer my view because I am far from extreme sport enthusiast! I am 56 years old and overweight with some arthritis in my joints. I can’t run but I can walk and I really like to cycle. Daily HR tracking is working well enough for me, but some people here in this forum have been complaining that it is not accurate enough. It is likely due to the fact that we all have different kind of skins and optical sensor works better for some and not so great for some others. Having said that, I am not using daily 24/7 measurements, it does not provide me any meaningful info. For the same reason I have turned off the sleep tracking. Strass tracking; I don’t think suunto provides any specific measurements for that. I know when I’m stressed and that’s enough. I guess HR and blood oxygen level measurements and sleep tracking (recovery) could provide some insight for you. Someone else can comment on this! Maintaining health: Suunto fulfills all my needs except for one. There is no weight tracking in the watch and Suunto App. You must enter your weight in the watch but it is only used for various fitness level calculations. You can’t see your weight trend in the smartphone app. All of the measurements and fitness level calculations motivate me to go out and do longer adventures. I work as a data analyst; so I get motivation from seeing how my own feelings correlate with the improved statistics provided by Suunto. Suunto gives you statistics and summaries, but it does not tell you how you must feel in any given moment. It does not tell you that right now you should get up and start working out. It gives you the freedom of choise, which suits me just fine. A couple of examples how I use and why I love my Vertical: I love mushroom hunting. I love the offline maps and I can always trust my watch to take me to my saved locations and it will show me the way back no matter how far I’ve hiked. I like swimming. The watch doesn’t recognize correctly my swimming styles, but I am pleased to get the total distance and consumed calories. Notice that outdoor swimming is worse because water interferes with GPS reception. Just last night I went trail biking in the dusk and came home 25 km later when it was pitch black dark. The wet tree roots were slippery and I fell in a very bad position but I didn’t have to worry if my watch is ok. It is and it will remain ok! I am using my Vertical as my daily watch. Just remember that Suunto is not a smartwatch with all of the modern smartwatch features. You can’t pay with it and you only see a few first words of an incoming message with it, lots of emojis are missing and only one model supports offline music storage (mp3 music without having to carry your phone with you). Unlike some other manufacturers Suunto is listening to their customers and you will be getting support and new features for quite a long time. It’s just that you will never know what is coming (nothing is shared beforehands) and it often takes a few months to get fixes to known bugs.

  @fedequei Sorry, English isn’t my native language: I may not have been clear. That’s exactly right, it’s the swipe up from the control bar at the bottom of the home screen. You’ll see that your watch no longer syncs automatically, so the weather widget may no longer be up to date, and activities no longer sync automatically at the end of the activity, but doing it once a day is enough. My routine has become: I get up in the morning, synchronise the watch for the weather widget and sleep tracking, then manually close the app. Then, if I’ve been running or doing an activity, I synchronise again. Basically, I’ve gone from multiple automatic synchronisations per day to two manual synchronisations. This obviously has an impact on the battery.

  @Steven-Hambleton agreed. First thing I do when getting a new watch from Suunto is change the strap.

  @kurtpenter thanks but no dice… I did reply to that thread as it looks like something I’ve experienced also Today’s easy run and I’m still getting wrist power. I guess I’ll try to unpair and re-pair the pod with the watch. Annoying! And Race 2 prices even second hand are too steep for me to try switching to newer watch. This issue was tolerable for a few months. It’s just this week it seems to be persistent instead of “once every few weeks”.

  @Hari-Seldon Thanks, but I have no way to enter numbers as the watch screen is locked and only goes as far as showing the QR code as part of initial startup.

  Received feedback from the support team. They tell me that the Peak Pro is no longer manufactured, nor that they have the parts to repair it. Not sure why they talk about parts, as to me, the issue had nothing to do with “mechanics” (but hey I’m not a techncian). Their position is “we can maybe fix it, but a cost that wouldn’t be relevant to you”, so instead, they offer to me a replacement with another device. With an incredible discount of 10€ !!! Quite interstingly, the Peak Pro is one of the models they’re offering in this deal of the century. Yes. The same model that is not manufactured anymore and for which they have no spare parts if there’s an issue. Just bought a new Sports2. But with a “I give these guys one last chance, before I move to G” approach, as I’m pretty pi**ed off, the failure happened after a failed update (according to me, but once again, I’m no Suunto technicain), 2 weeks after the warranty expired, and by the fact that the support is putting me in a position where I have no other option that to buy a new device. Aren’t they clamining they are a sustainable company? “Repairability” is the basis of being sustainable, especially for a device that was first realseased less than 3 years ago. Or is the image they want to give some sort of green-washing. Anyways…

  @ibrahim-bayram you can’t load stuff from chatgpt … and to be honest I wouldn’t use it for coaching @ibrahim-bayram said in Suuntoapp not updating external workouts to s9baro: gpt saying develepor mode of suunto app has this function maybe someway to open develepor mode This is pure AI hallucination bs and even if a developer mode exists, it’s meant for developers, not to load training plans. Can’t you use Suunto Coach ? Can’t you find any available, valid training ?

  Hello, today we noticed this issue on my wifes 5 Peak. Unfortunatelly it has already 2.5 year so it is not under warranty anymore. And she is light user, and not wearing it while washing dishes, showering, sleeping etc. Only around 9hours a day during working days only and then while cycling/hiking but thats few times a month.
