@arnie82 it’s interesting to hear your experience, and I’m sure Suunto and Hammerhead are interested to hear your feedback on this partnership.

@Mff73 Also, considering that battery duration has considerably been enhanced with last generation of watches (S9pp < SR < SV), the number of charge cycles his more than divided by 2 compared to previous generations.

@inkognito That was it. Thanks! I removed all POI-s and than uploaded just two and they both appeared on the watch map.

Good to know to keep an eye on this until Suunto resolves it. But if this bug is still here from s9 era, that is not promising 😞

I find this time field as an extra. I don’t care if it’s small - I know it’s there if I need it, and I rarely need it to be as readable as any other data field.

If I’m going to need to know time often - like actual time, or sunset, etc. I always create a personalized sports mode where the important fields are large enough.

@Jonathan-C really interesting seeing how you’re teaching the software about the world.

Looking forward to part 2, where I’m curious to find out if you have to pre-plan the number of laps and incorporate that into your route. Spoilers!

@andry_ua I think Ukraine is huge country with lots of real and potential Suunto customers. Ukrainian language will eventually come to Suunto watches.

@ChrisA you and Brad make great points and I agree with you. I particularly follow Scott Johnston’s work with Uphill athlete (and now Evolv). SJ wasn’t absolutely against HRV btw, but that current methods of measuring them aren’t reliable (as we have experienced as well).

That said, I believe the main idea of the original question is whether this measurement is inconsistent when swapping watches. They probably somewhat are if there are differences in watch sensors. I mean, we can get different results on the same watch just by switching arms.

@bobson also agree about the lag. Not sure what people expect or what they think is important. Much ado about nothing. IMO. I’d gladly accept miniscule lag if the battery lasts longer, and that is one of the tradeoffs.

@Francesco-Pagano that’s also not the latest available version (2.19.42 < 2.23.20), could that be a problem ?

Dear all.
Ia had the same problem. I’ve found this.

Try it and it will be much more better.

Thanks Nikos

@Brad_Olwin strange it’s only with running power. Hr, pace are all correct.

Hi all,

@zadow said in Left-hand wearer option:

I am curious what is the experience of lefthanded people with SR and the rotating crown…?

left-handed owner of Suunto Race here, wearing it on the right arm. I’ve only had this watch for a couple months (summertime only, no long sleeves) hence had no issue (yet ?) with clothes.
So far, the only issue with the rotating crown is with my arm hair that gets into the crown, especially while exercising when I’m sweaty. I guess this is not specific to left-handed people, but since you were asking 😉

@daveathletic said in Ability to broadcast HR:

the ability to broadcast your heart rate
Totally agree! The missing ability to broadcast heart rate is the only reason I did not yet purchase the Race S 😞

@SuperFlo75 said in Is there a Q4 software update on the way?:

I don‘t need new features, but it would be nice to have the problems of the last update fixed 😅

I dont need any new… but Suunto always bring something cool :D. I rather would like to polish all existing things.

@dankcushions I didn’t even know that there are multiple views…

@sky-runner I agree completely, I was just suggesting quite a lot of what you would like is “almost” there so the step forward wouldn’t be massive.

There is the suunto+ app that you can setup with notes at times or distances (I think) that might also be of help if you’ve not tried it. I do think it would be good to have more of this baked in though. As you say, the FIT file format would allow for custom fields so being able to add metadata to a waypoint in a route plan such as arrival time or nutrition notes or anything else you want would be easy and flagging the waypoint in some way could allow the watch to show stats between points or assent to next point etc. very easily.

@2b2bff I think Suunto’s biggest concern with increasing the number of S+ apps, based on previous comments in this forum, is the battery drain. I get the impression Suunto are keen that their watches meet the advertised battery duration even with all the features in use - including maps, vertical climb info and 2 S+ apps. Maybe a solution here would be to allow more apps but with a warning that pops up to highlight estimated battery life will be less accurate with more apps. Personally I never push the limits of the battery on my Race S and would love to make more use of S+ apps - or even just 2 apps and a workout.

@isazi It had the latest firmware on it. But after your post I tried to reinstall on it.
This morning I tried out Guides and Navigation together for my training session and … IT WORKS NOW 🙂
Thanks a lot, for your helping.

About guides and apps not work together, I knew. I guess it is because both are S+ apps practically and only one S+ can run in a time.
But anyway, I really wait when Suunto extend this at least to run two of them. 😉

@babychai I see. Well, so far there’s no music support in Suunto watches apart from S7. You can control the music from your phone via the watch, but it has to be in bluetooth range.

@stromdiddily said in Crossfit training:

@Danny-poleg I think it’s a trademark issue isn’t it?

This is correct. Suunto watches (starting with the Spartan ultra,I believe) had a sport mode called “CrossFit”; it was later renamed “Cross training” because of trademark issues.

@isazi It now works on my Peak 9 Pro. I used Climbing and added a new personal mode, turned of gps as I use it indoors. It is quite okay but maybe it would be better to choose a different sport mode as base.
