differences are rather small actually, however, by toggling between low and high I can see a clear variation of brightness
the best would be putting three Race with different level close to each other

found it ;-).

@zucchero think of these as customizations of a sport. You can do that yourself from the app, taking one default sport mode, e.g. running, and customize the screen to show the information you prefer. Once you do that, you can give it a name.
As an example, I have a “Running (Training)” and a “Running (Race)” that show different fields.

For some sports, Suunto already offers some customization. So you have “Cycling (Basic)” and “Cycling (Power)” that show different data screens, in case you do not want to make your own custom sports. Cycling basic can record power if you have a power meter, but does not have a field showing it to you during the activity, while Cycling power has it.

Now, there are also some other changes that are not available to users like us, one example is “Climbing (Indoor)” that does not use GPS; while we can only customize screens in our custom sport modes, Suunto can do more, and that is why they provide some customized sport modes. Also, because some users do not know how to make custom profiles themselves 🙂

@Victor-Bellemin next firmware (coming soon) will let you enable a per sport display configuration during activity (on AMOLED displays)

@MRC01 I have enabled “always on display”, which helps. During exercises, the display is always on yet dim. When I turn my wrist to look at the watch, it goes bright quickly - more quickly than it goes from off to on, when “always on display” is disabled. So far this works better, all good.

However, even now, when I’m not exercising, the display still only stays on for about 7-8 seconds when I turn my wrist. It would be nice to have a setting to make it stay on longer.

Note: this is with the latest 2.35.34 firmware.

@MRC01 The route elevation screen has been working properly for the past couple of rides, so this issued resolved itself. I don’t know what caused it to fail that first time.

@Jess60451
Has anyone come back to you on this issue? I am having the same problems and also not even 6 months old and having to send it in for them to test. They can’t tell me how long that will even take.

@sapphireforever I have 3 (yes 3 🙂 ) watches and I wholeheartly suggest you get the Race and you’ll not regret it. First of all I too had ‘mixed’ feeling about the HR (spikes during Rest, too low on bike and too high on runs). After the 2 or 3 updates of the Race and Vertical (this was my HR impressions based on) the only minor issue with the HR is the initial lock to cadence when running. Of coure I never, never really run without HR belt so I couln’t care less about the ohr.
So if you use belt during runs there is no reason for you to hold off. I would not state it as better HR sensor since as I can see the sensor is same, it only has 2 extra LEDs.
One other observation I had and I believe this is the reason the smaller watch got more LEDs is that when the watch is bigger the band holders dont dig in your wrist and elevate the HR sensor. This is the reason I think for my wrist the Suunto Ocean has the most accurate HR since it goes so smooth over my wrist (this little mm count compared to the Vertical/Race) and the sensor sits very nicely on the skin.
Concerning the responsivness of the UI this has been addressed with the latest FW accross all watches Race/Vertical/Ocean. In the end I believe they all have the same cpu/mem components. There is no chance the Race S has better cpu than the Race or Veritcal.
Cheers.

Related to this (I hope): could SA add the altitude profile to GPX files that come without the altitude data? Examples are the German „D-Route“ cycle routes available from https://radroutenplaner-deutschland.de/veraDNetz_EN.asp – the Danube Route D6 does not have altitude data, for example.

I got my Race in December. I didn’t have any CTL stats until like March or April and I run almost every day.

j’aimerais également avoir la possibilité de mettre le mode eco en raccourci. Pour des raisons d’econnomie de batterie je suis en mode eco en journée mais si je veux avoir un suivi de sommeil il faut obligatoirement avoir la fréquence cardiaque d’activé en temps réél, donc desactiver le mode eco. Cela me simplifirait l’utilisation que d’avoir cette fonction en raccourci

@cumbrian-runner

Remove watch from BT on phone (forget) Turn off completely BT on phone (I even had to restart my iPhone once) Remove phone from watch settings > connectivity > paired devices Try to re-pair. If not successful do the same again by restarting both phone and watch. Last resort: factory defaults on watch.

@TitaniumDave I guess this would be a rotating rose compass with a fixed needle.

@Pilok I have not seen this with the production firmware. I would reboot the watch and if a problem still occurs delete and reload the map. I have no problems going off route when on route.

@TitaniumDave having more options to modify would be great. I am also a bit a bit confused why certain complications are not available for other, fitting watch faces (for me it is the TSB graph).
Maybe it is possible to do it like with the sportmodes: standard ones are selecetable on the watch, if you want more customization you can do so in the app and make them available on the watch

no idea why it works so bad for me ?

@Jose have found the fix is simple. Switch Bluetooth off on the phone and re enable it when you wake up. I think the app has a bug in that if you do get up in the middle of the night and it syncs, even though the watch will change the sleep time if you go back to sleep - when you wake up properly the app won’t accept the updated sleep time.

Since I’ve done that sleep tracking has been excellent. Hopefully an app update is soon
