Suunto support’s reply provided some additional details: The Suunto Run does not include all the swimming features advertised in the product sheet — a deliberate choice by Suunto. I don’t understand why they don’t update their product sheet to clarify which features might actually come later; it’s completely unacceptable. Suunto acknowledges these shortcomings. It’s somewhat reassuring — we can hope for certain improvements, such as displaying distance in meters — but nothing guarantees that all the announced features are achievable due to hardware limitations (automatic laps, stroke recognition, rest-time counting). I was told that only the high-end models are capable of handling these features and that the Run is primarily oriented toward running.

@Jordan-Decker I can’t believe it was that easy and I am a bit embarrassed I never thought about it myself. Thanks a lot mate

@zagazoo Yep [image: 1764871308412-img_3154.jpeg]

@Jervin-Reyes I think the Suunto Run was already great when I bought it this summer, but I am pleasantly surprised with the number of updates and the contents of these updates (especially the last one). I’m excited to see what future updates might bring (Vertical2/Race2 watch faces I hope), but actually hope they will update the app with a dark mode and improve the sleep tracking scoring.

@Hari-Seldon thank you

@Marcus-Goebel even though I always take the value with a grain of salt, I see no troubles on my part

I’ve been using version 3.22.18 for a couple of weeks now. The good news is that treadmill mode is finally working properly, but unfortunately, the watch is rebooting more frequently. It usually restarts after the second lap during interval training sessions.

@herlas Yup, the only numbers I still trust on my watch are time, distance & speed.

@owend said in Dropping heart rate belt: I had a feeling this might be some sort of timing bug when there are pauses (auto or manual) in an activity afaic no pauses at all. That said it only happened once so far…

@enriqueescoms The 9 Peak Pro could be an option. On the downside it has no maps compared to Race S. But if she wants Maps its a lot more expensive in the Garmin Ecosystem than Suunto

@Hari-Seldon thank you

@Hari-Seldon ok I have it, while I was testing without running really most likely distance was too short, today after proper training I have got calibration at the end. It still looks different than on race or vertical but it’s ok does the job well.

@DelHand said in Sunnto Run HR reads too high: @zagazoo Readings are consistent with my Wahoo chest strap most of the time. However, at some points during the run, my measured HR will increase from around 145bpm up to 180bpm with no perceived change of effort and no change reported on chest strap. This might persist for several minutes. I’ve never had (and all my running buddies) any problems with the chest strap in over 5 months apart from the known issues that have been fixed.

@zagazoo said in Usability suggestions for Sunnto Run: Here are some ways i think the usability of the Run could be subtly improved Morning report - stay on the screen until acknowledged. This one has been reported to Suunto as a bug and hope a fix is coming. You can view the report in Notifications if you miss it. Ability to edit the sleep wake time. - if you lie awake or meditate for any period of time, the watch thinks you are asleep still. Don’t know about this, would have to be for all watches I think. Allow always on display just for activities - this would help with battery charge times When charging show charge level continuously - the screen turns off so you have no idea how close it is to completing. Yes, I usually scroll down to see the battery charge When in “Do not Disturb” mode you can click the top button to turn on the display but then is no way to turn off - another click could turn it off again It should turn off quickly. I am really pleased with my Sunnto Run but these small changes would make it even better. Thanks, Andy

@WlodiPawel-87 said in Feedback on Suunto Vertical RUN Model – Usability Observations After One Week: how do you know what is coming next update and when? He’s a field tester

@ahstreak A problem with “Recovery Time” is when a hard training block occurs and the watch will tell you to recover but that is the point, to stress the body…… I would suggest you use TSS and TSB and Ramp Rate for this. Training Peaks has a series of educational pages for this. Suunto uses Training Peaks metrics. https://help.trainingpeaks.com/hc/en-us/articles/204071944-Training-Stress-Scores-TSS-Explained
