On the topic of charging cables… Would be great to have a “puck” with the USB C port on a side. Amazfit’s new watch will have something like this available (or already available, not sure…). Currently, there are no aftermarket solutions available, unless I have missed it… [image: 1726225128447-screenshot-2024-09-13-114946.png]

@Thanhpi you will find support in the app

@sky-runner said in Has anyone tried using Garmin UltraFit nylon band with Race S?: That would require a pair of spring bars. Can those be bought separately? Yes, I have done this and it works well. Not with Race S but with Race, Vertical and Ocean.

@alex-erhard I answered you in your second post, clicked on the bottom right button

@jakubedzior I bought these. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GBMXLYF?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

I found that mine didn’t record for 1 night because it was charging for a while / off my wrist for a while, and since the OHR and the sensor lights weren’t on. I turned off and turned back on and it fixed it

Also cannot change auto lap notifications which I have complained about non stop

I don’t have this issue - in the widget menu and when you access the HR widget I see a second or 2 where it’s “measuring” and then I see a pretty accurate value. I do have 24/7 HR enabled. I’ve not tried having an HR complication visible on a watch face but I can’t imagine it would work differently. I did used to see this behaviour on my 5 Peak, though, because it took time to fire up the HR sensor and get a stable measurement. The 5 Peak only used to sample the HR every 10mins.

Could you tell me if it’s possible to connect the Suunto Race S to a Concept2 rowing machine via Bluetooth?

@Eric-Rütschlin Another lack I took for granted. I guess I have to wait a little longer with Suunto…

@Simon-0 Suuntoapp is registering activities without knowing your HR zones (it is using default ones). Maybe an hint to explain metrics differences like calories?

@tatian246 then the race s i a great device! Highly recommend it! IMO the best value for any actual sportswatch and you’ll love the route planner in the Suunto app for planing hikes

@Egika said in Race S (new) OHR sensor: Race S has 1 green emitting LED. No idea which second you found. yes, just one green, but 2 red …

@jakexuan Thank you for your insight! It certainly is frustrating and does seem like it can be an easy fix… I do rely on the automatic interval count/timing and don’t mind the slight inaccuracy for the easy stuff, but when I am doing any type of speed work, I do need to have full control on the start and finish to have a fully accurate split times As silly as it sounds, I think my only option for when doing main sets would be to switch to a running profile and use the lap duration counter on there

@Vanillaface Check Settings/General/About on the watch and scroll down until you see Assisted GPS. This should have the current date. If not the file for finding satellites is not loaded. A second issue is that this file requires a few minutes to unpack. If it syncs to the watch immediately before an exercise it will take much longer to get a GPS lock. Your lock (solid green arrow) should take only a few seconds if you have a good view of the sky.

@gshaw34 Hear rate sensor is just bogus. I will post some heart rate screenshots in https://forum.suunto.com/topic/11854/suunto-race-s-optical-heart-rate-sensor-accuracy/13

@kaab6271 as there is an Auto DND feature I asked specifically for manual activation. So, my guess is that enabling DND makes the watch more aware of a possible sleep cycle or napping. I don’t know if it doesn’t work without enabling DND. I only tried one night and it didn’t detect sleep. But as Suunto doesn’t respect focus modes on iOS it sends all the notifications over to the watch even with “sleep” focus mode. Therefore disabling DND has not proven to be useful to me…
