@Goatee said: @elbee I work in a running store & the amount of people switching from Garmin is becoming more popular Alot of new Coros watches on wrists (we don’t sell Coros) would suggest they definitely are getting a better foothold They have a big presence on social media with their accounts commenting on posts, especially on Threads With alot of new runners being “Instagram runners” they’re reaching a different & growing audience If I look at athletes in my athletic club, on strava or at races/trailruns, almost all use a garmin and there is the occasional Polar/Suunto/Coros. Don’t see any shifts over the last couple of years. (I live in the Netherlands. It might be different for other regions.)

@snow Thanks! I’ll check it out!

@Steven-Hambleton said: @Ecki-D. Wouldn’t this lose the fitness metrics though? Cropping the occasional activity this was has very limited impact on the metrics your watch shows and zero impact on your real life fitness (the one that counts)

@Goatee Suunto reached out to me via email asking for more information (watch serial number, app version, etc.). I sent them the deets, so I’ll see where things go from there. Hopefully we can isolate the bug and get it fixed.

@Kowalski I’m waiting for a successor of the Race S as well, decided not to go with the Race 2. But it felt surprisingly small for its size…

@raven agree with you! ZS is not great for the training you are doing.

If they do flash the V2/R2 then the R2 could be a great purchase when the R3 is released.

@sunter do you have, by any chance, custom HR cycling zones on your watch?

@Kowalski I don’t know. I’m not a Reddit admin, so I don’t know the tools they have at their disposal to detect stuff like this. It may have been that there was malware hidden in the file hosted in the Google Drive file, and the Core 2 leak was the bait to get you to open it? Just speculating.

@safari nice! Thank you, hopefully that makes it way to Android soon. Looks sleek!

@matteobucc said: ​Hi everyone and Suunto Team, ​I am an advanced freediver (diving to 50m+ and competing) using the Suunto Ocean. ​The hardware, display, and GPS tracking are absolute 10/10. However, for deep freediving and spearfishing, the software currently lacks essential features found in older dedicated computers or competitor models. ​To make it a complete tool, please consider adding the following in upcoming firmware updates. ​First, a single surface screen summary between dives that displays surface time, dive time, minimum temperature, and ascent and descent speed (m/s). ​Second, separate descent and ascent alarms, with the option to configure depth and time alerts separately for the descent phase and the ascent phase. ​Third, a dedicated spearfishing profile that silences audio and vibration alarms by default. ​Fourth, a dedicated pool freediving profile designed specifically for dynamic and static training without triggering depth sensor alarms. ​Fifth, advanced app graphs with clearer depth and speed details in the logbook for post-dive analysis. ​The hardware is top-tier; now it just needs the software it deserves. Thanks! I completely agree that the Suunto Ocean has some serious shortcomings when it comes to freediving and spearfishing. It is truly unbelievable that the watch cannot display the two most essential pieces of information for freediving and spearfishing on the screen at the same time: the data from the last dive (depth and duration) and the surface time. This simply makes no sense and is one of the biggest shortcomings of an otherwise excellent watch. I also believe the watch should have a dedicated Spearfishing mode. For a device called Ocean, it is quite disappointing that, despite offering numerous sport profiles, there is no option specifically designed for spearfishing. Another major frustration is the automatic activation of Scuba mode every time I dive. As soon as I go deeper than one meter while swimming or simply enjoying the water, the watch automatically switches to Scuba mode. As a result, it records false dive activities throughout the day and negatively affects recovery and activity statistics. I would genuinely like to understand the logic behind this software design. Officially, the Suunto Ocean is not recommended for professional scuba diving, yet Scuba mode is enabled by default, cannot be disabled, and its behavior cannot be customized. That simply doesn’t make any sense.

Possible solution to the restart problem. I let the previous version of the system be installed and waited for it to finish. Then I let the watch update to the latest version of the system, again I waited for the whole process to finish, which takes a long time. No restart yet. Before that I interrupted the update process by holding the restart button because it seemed to me that the update was taking a long time.

Thought I’d add an update as I’ve just received a new sensor & belt from Suunto support who tested the old one & agreed that it was faulty. Also worth mentioning, whilst it was away at support I had to use the watch based optical sensor as I don’t have a back up & it performed surprisingly well

Right now, the Suunto Race S has fewer features than a Wear OS smartwatch, yet its battery life is even worse. It’s truly disappointing.

@elipsus did you solve the issue?

@phck9b I had a freeze on 9PP at the first time I tried to enable it with live-tracking in parallel. After restarting the watch both do work now. So maybe just use one app and restart the watch before.

On sidemount i had no issues the transmitters are very close by of Nautic and Nautic S On backmount one transmitter is on the left and the Nautic S has also on the left without dropouts, while the Nautic on right arm, i might had one dropout for brief moment.

Well, still not clear solution provided by Suunto, this is quite dissapointing so far, this should be such a basic feature that should be working.
