@cosme.costa Yes, I am also struggling with the settings. It is available on the RaceS, but not on the Vertical 1. I am suprised and confused… So not really a solution so far. Its possible to “enable” backlight on the V1, whatever that means. Always on, adaptive to the sun? But then the battery lifetime is cut in a half(!) Edit: I think I found it. In the general display settings there is a “Standby” option. This enables adaptive backlight for activities - and unfortunately also for Watchface usage. @cosme.costa I now understand what you mean…

@Nandodiver can you share the link please?

It also happens with the Suunto Run. And it’s not exclusive to the Chest Strap. Using Bluetooth phones to listen to music also makes this issue appear. The issue almost always appears after around 1h training, pauses or GPS disconnections during tunnel passages.

@halajos Looks very much like clone, or exactly the same product under different branding, of Morpheus M7 HR belt. Morpheus works great for ZoneSense, plus I haven’t experienced any drops or disconnections like many people report here with their Suunto belt or Polar H10. Around $40, looks like a solid choice compared to M7 at ~$100.

@Henrik-Nilsson Suunto should put this on top of their priorities because it affects all watches (Suunto Run for me) and all devices (chest straps and bluetooth headphones).

Route Planner does not have the turn-by-turn. I tried saving that route in Route Planner and then uploaded into Komoot, and the same issues persist in Komoot.

@sartoric ok thanks for the info. I guess it will never be fixed then.

Perfect choice! This “midnight blue” fits the watch body even better than the original “ocean blue” in my opinion. The new strap just seems sticky with dust [image: 1777291354846-1000042630.jpg]

@SRS2000 you can only have one max HR. It is impossible to have more than one. Even more it doesn’t matter as it is the top of your zone 5 anyways… Suunto Run is a bit different than the rest. With the others you have to set the zones yourself - more control, but a bit more hassle at first.

Yesterday I restarted the watch before run activity and there was no reboot.

Hello, On the 24th, I conducted some tests, first on a practically straight route, and then on a route in the same area with hills and curves. My hypothesis that the Race 2 is incorrectly processing the recorded points was confirmed. The straight route is marked every 500 meters; it was 4.04 km according to the Race 2 and 4.05 km according to the track, measuring almost exactly during the activity. During the activity with curves, the problem returned, subtracting 80 meters from the total: 4.00 km according to the Race 2 and 4.08 km according to the track. I’ve attached some screenshots that I will send to Suunto support: [image: 1777273901039-captura-de-pantalla-2026-04-27-085958.jpg] [image: 1777274020950-captura-de-pantalla-2026-04-27-090132.jpg] I encourage you to conduct these tests and also send them to Suunto (support@suunto.com). It’s the only way they’ll take the issue seriously. If this problem is widely known, I doubt Suunto will sell another Race 2 at its current price. Regards.

I also have this ‘Raise to Wake’ bug on my V1, however at this stage it does seem to be occasional and quite often seems to turn itself off during the activity which is a good thing. Hopefully it gets fixed in an upcoming update
