@Brad_Olwin That’s my plan actually, I will make an activity each day and not keep it running all the time. I can easily understand that would be problematic when transferring the file. As you say, measuring HR will decrease the battery life, but on the same time I would say GPS draws even more power. In Tour mode the watch turns everything off and lowers the GPS accuracy to low and data logging for that to 30 min intervals. In Custom mode, you can’t even turn the GPS to that low setting, there is only Best and Good as alternatives and I feel like the Custom setting is a bit redundant as you can’t really affect almost anything in there. An example, my watch has now 50% of battery left, Performance gives me 19h, Endurance 30h, Tour 199h and 31h, so Endurance and Custom settings are almost identical in battery life. Only difference I can make is if I want to shut down the display after 10s or not, that gives the extra 1h. And from that you can also see how huge difference in battery lifetime the GPS setting makes. I am very glad of the presets, they give you already a good base point on what you want to do, but I feel that giving a custom setting as possibility should really have something that would make a difference and really feel like a custom setting. Also, in the settings of the activity, you already have a separate place where you can manually switch wrist HR on/off if you want what ever the setting is, only difference is the Tour mode, that completely takes that option out. Looking at this now more thoroughly, I would say there is two possible, quite easy solutions to make this work better. Keep the wrist HR setting available on all preset battery settings. When switching to Tour mode the setting could turn off that, but if you want, you could manuallu turn it on. Add low GPS mode to the custom setting (I think this should be even easier to add) This would then allow for a more specific “Trail” mode", HR available if you want, GPS settings as high or low as you want, Bluetooth off and a lot more battery life when on the hike.

@isazi Thank you, that’s it. I’ve been using a custom profile for the running activity.

@surfratt I think compared to the Peak Pro the screen of the Vantage V2 is quite similar but screen brightness is not the best in class with Suunto Watches. Where Suunto shines is creating routes and transfer them onto your watch in a breeze. Polar is nowhere near this. You might miss the Webinterface, but I find the Suunto App extremely nice and polished and Suunto has (and still does) put a lot of effort in it, like the new Coach feature. And - compared to Polar - your training screens can have way more data fields and information.

I wish there would be a hacker community around smartwatches. If it’s a JTAG port, there might be fun things to do with this port.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos it might be useful for others. I switched to a Google Pixel and Garmin, Bryton and Suunto paired and stayed connected in the first attempt (with all apps active at the same time) without any issues.

@ShailCaesar said in Recovery time not working properly?: @Brad_Olwin it resets some stuff but didn’t clear out the recovery time Right but maybe it will countdown properly now. if not, this could be a bug.

Hope the double data (steps) between Suunto and Strava is fixed with update… Name 9 Peak Pro also still not visible.

@Brad_Olwin would be great if we could get customisable faces on the s9. I really like the style of the toggle watch face which currently only shows date and battery charge and is not of much use. If that had time and a couple more parameters on it, it would be the perfect face for me!

@Brad_Olwin yes https://www.suunto.com/en-us/Products/Straps/suunto-22mm-urban-5-microfiber-strap/suunto-22mm-urban-5-microfiber-strap-stone-gray-m/

@Łukasz-Szmigiel true, I can reproduce it and will send logs. the use case is clear: you have auto DND enabled for the night and manually enable DND for meetings and you don’t want it to get disabled until you actively disable it.

@Mark-Montbarbon I would contact support, this does not look normal.

@Simon I know one of SA syncs I appreciate is updating ‘optimizing gps performance’ which saves time when I get to my destination to run or start up for a ride. I’ve had Garmin’s and Polars that take about the same amount of time if you select sync. I guess for me 20 seconds is ok and I usually do it in the mornings in the background - I may not be in as much of a hurry to work out as you lol.

@zhang965 Thanks! So, it’s also present on S9PP

@aligigi YES!

@herlas it must be in next firmware then.
