@winelouk can you install watch faces and apps? I haven’t been able to install anything s+(guides, watch faces, apps) for like 3 months. Waiting for update to fix it. I have V1.

@winelouk same for me with Suunto Race 1, but with Android app. Already reported in https://forum.suunto.com/post/194359, but maybe worth opening a new thread, so I’m replying here

@herlas no. Injured. Whenever I do ride, the issue still persists. I have a different power meter now (SRAM Rival) and when the Race goes in pause and resumes the connection is gone and never returns. The hacks did not help. Sad story. Bad software. Suunto does not care.

@elbee Thanks for your input but I wasn’t buying it so did some further testing. Fired up my old 9Peak & connected the HR sensor to that, exactly the same outcome with constant connect/disconnect so it’s the sensor that’s faulty rather than my Race. I’ve sent it back to Suunto via online service request & as it’s only 8 months old I’m hoping for a warranty exchange

Could you please provide the Suunto Race 2.39.20 (or late 2024) firmware OTA package? Thank you!

@Squirrel I can only tell what I observe. The gnss data is synced right when your watch is connected to the suunto app on the phone. At least, at some point the sync process is saying it is syncing gps data.

Vote for this. I’m a left hand writer and having the watch on left wrist is unconfortable. It would be nice to have the option to flip the screen upsidedown to let the crown face the wrist and not the shoulders if the watch is on the right wrist.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos thanks for the recommendation. Mine is dropping a few meters but then it is slowly getting back to normal. Is this what you are experiencing?

@leejohnmann said: Any suggestions on how to get it back on? To eliminate the possibility of bad contact, you could connect it “directly” if you are handy with wires. Below picture was posted as a joke in another thread, but in this case it would ensure connectivity. You could also monitor power consumption with USB power meter, if you have one, to see what’s going on, if anything. [image: 1783377395800-pxl_20260501_181051337.jpg] In any case, if the battery fails to accept charging current, the cell voltage might be below threshold level and only service center could reset it. Battery replacement might be the last resort option, if all else fails.

@johann.fuehrer this was the issue! I hadn’t updated the firmware on my pedals in agrs. Thank you

@Ze-Stuart happens to me, too

I have the same problem with the values of the alti meter. Really extremely overestimatied vales. I tried already sevytimes the cleaning procedure but it doesn’t help. Really disappointing.

@galerna done ! Check out the store

@dr_free Hello My Suunto Race is stuck in “Service Mode”. I have tried all the possible solutions I can find above and elsewhere. I am currently in Lake Como in Italy. Where can I take the watch to be fixed? Thanks Rem333

@Rasser Hello, I use the drill mode personnaly. I count the number of turns and when I put in pause, I add the distance. Like that I know each distance between each pause.

It happened to me today on a V2 (latest firmware). Alarm went off on time, I looked at my watch. Wrist gesture seems to have dismissed it+allowed the morning report to appear without any touch to the screen.

The models of garmin that are testen in a scientific way (not by some sport gadget blogger) shows that hrv isn’t that accurate on those models. (See https://the5krunner.com/2026/05/05/forerunner-265-hrv-study/ , links to sources on that page) I have no reason to believe other models or other brands are more accurate.
