@ab100 Suunto is aware of this current limitation, and if resources allow it this may change in the future. It is always a balance.

Again me after having lots of fun and runs with the Race that I absolute love. Some caveats though or feedback will be much appriciated since I might be missing somethig. I have the brightness in settings to Medium. This is quite good in and outdoors when on the watch face and on the menus. The minor problem I am facing is while in activity. I have the feeling that the Max brightness is somehow set to Low in the activity even though I use Performance mode. Keep in mind I have AOD off both in control and general settings so the screen is black when not looking at it. But when I raise to check the max brightness is somehow too low… barely visible when there is a bit more light (either sun or ‘white’ clouds). And while I am mostly training with the Vertical on sunny days I still would like to know if there is something I am missing here. For example the AWU2 and FR965 are much much brighter (both set to auto I think I never bothered cheking ) Thank you!

Sad. Unfortunately, this means bad “degradation” of the OLED. . Not true, the display only mode shifts pixels so that pixel burn in is at a minimum. Second, the display either turns oft or goes to minimum display, which shifts pixels when your wrist is down. @Brad_Olwin do I get it right, that pixel shifting is also applied on the exercise screens? Yes in watch mode but in exercise mode AOD is limited to prevent burn in. I do not use AOD as I do not need it and I do not bike ride much. Without AOD the display goes off during exercise and in watch mode.

@Tony-Monteiro Oh yes, sometimes it happens. It’s a bit of a nuisance but hey, it has an easy solution. You have to load tracks to the watch until you reach the allowable limit of the watch. In my 9PP I don’t remember well but I think there are 15 (or 10, I don’t remember well, the fact is that there aren’t many). Those who have remained “ghosts” on the watch are displaced by these new ones and disappear. Then it’s time to disable again those that you have loaded to carry out this process. I hope I have explained myself well.

@svmanolov said in GPS accuracy Suunto race !: @Brad_Olwin link text Do you have an AGPS file in about? Is it current? If you sync immediately prior to exercise and a new AGPS file is loaded, it can take time to unpack. How many times has the route been bad?

@twekkel They are not undocumented, just not published.

@Ionut-Andarachi let me see. For 1) I think location is actually from the phone, not the watch. Is the phone sending weather forecast to the watch. For 2) you can create a custom sport mode (check the website for information) and add HR to your screen. For 3) I cannot say without knowing if your AGPS was up to date, and if this was your first activity or not. My GPS locking is a matter of seconds.

@James-Wylie I think there is a way in the watch itself that you can look for things nearby (and actually type a search entry from the ‘phone’) which is pretty cool

Just an idea. Maybe go outside and explore and add the maps later since you forgot to?

Suunto neasures or make vo2max tag if you train much time in your Training in end from zone 4 and zone 5 (orange and red) there it is necessary that you set your heart rate zones correcly, means if you know your anaerob Treshhold you have set THIS Treshhold to end from zone 4! Means if you know for example that your anaerobic Treshhold is 168 beats per minutes than you have to set the 168 as end from zone 4. Zone 5 starts then at 169 until your maximal heart rate. Second you have define your areobic Treshhold, its the point where your body begin to produce lactat. This you have set correct as ending from zone 2 (Green Zone) . The other heart rate zones you can set how you think its good for you. Zone 1 ends normal at 60% from your maximal heart rate!

@flav38 you cannot synchronize the data from the app to the watch, but I am sure there are third-party apps that will let you import activities from Strava to the Suunto App, if this is what you want.

@efbill That is like the one I just got from Amazon, and it’s good for the price. But it does not keep the watch anchor point from rubbing on my wristbone protrusion. So I’m hoping to try a wider strap that covers that bit of the watch.

@TitaniumDave I don’t want always on display all the night. I just want to see “always on style” time on button press during the night.

@Egika Great! Thanks for pointing it out.

@Egika Thank you! That was very helpful. I will do a dry test before my next race. Thanks again.
