@dreamer_ Maybe some fixes will come with the next update.

@sky-runner that’s a heck of a route! Curious what zoom level you use while you’re navigating during the run and if you happened to look at the navigation while you were approach 1, 3, 7. I would certainly hope that while you were still moving towards the first way point, the blue arrowed line ahead of your exact current position correctly showed you the path to way point 2. Absolutely a problem if even while moving, prior to waypoint 1s first arrival, it was navigating you to 4 immediately

Thanks both of you for explaining! The requirement that you need to keep the watch aligned with the direction of travel was unknown to me (I never use the maps) On a road bike, I usually check the watch at a 30 degree angle to the direction I’m going so I either need to change that habit or make the correction in my head Either way I am happy that I now know how it works!

@VoiGAS said: Tried it with the Ambit 3 Vertical. Took a few attempts to sync Time and GPS, but it worked. I can also read sport modes and POIs - very nice! Not sure if the Suunto App in the background makes problems… USB Otg or bluetooth? Since I don’t have any ambit 3 vertical, there is a slight chance there are stuff that may be slighly different than the ambit 3 and so not working till I get som descr files or pcap dumps. For example the Traverse was different. Thanks for the feedback.

@Fabrice-Angeli the concept is independent from the watch model. The physical principle is the same: Depth measurement eats up the bits of the sensor resolution that are then missing for the may more difficile altitude measurement. 10m of depth measurement have the same pressure difference as the whole athmosphere up to space. The sensor needs to cover an absolute pressure difference of 2bar (1 below and 1 above sea level) Now you want at least a max altitude of 8848m with a resolution of 1m and a certain SNR. Unfortunately you already have spent half of the sensor resolution for the 10m depth… If you want 20m or 30m of depth, you stretch the sensor from 2 bar to a total pressure range of 3 bar or even 4 bar. This reduces accuracy by half best case…

@runyx17 I’m not sure that’s the case. There was a glitch with the Suunto 9 Peak Pro a while back that was fixed via a quick update within a month.

@Egika Thanks for the answer. I have recieved an answer from Suunto support and they don’t recommend reverting it back to previous version, but just to do a soft reset and if problem persists to submit it for further inspection.

@jussim said: First of all, did no one Finnish speaking take a look at this? Those translations are laughable and frankly embarrassing for a Finnish company. I guess that’s the new reality in the AI era

I was wrong ! but please Suunto, communicate, communicate !

@Stanislav-Kuzmin this has been implemented in April already. https://www.suunto.com/en-nl/Support/Software-updates/Release-notes/suunto-race-software-updates/

I’m experiencing severe battery drain. It’s happening only if I wear the watch. If the watch is static, there is no drain. The HR is turned off at all times.

@duffman19 So I tried first with a short stretching activity. Delete from SA, log out of SA, login again, resync and it showed the activity again. However. doing so with my long run, seems to not resync although it’s still on the watch (at least showing on the watch. I noticed. Daily HR, steps, resources are all in SA including the activity time. But GPS and activity stats are not. Would be great to ad Fit/json manualy Back into SA. That’s possible? Is it possible json and fit files are deleted if you uninstal SA?? Would be an explanation I can’t find them on my phone anymore.

​Hi everyone, ​I contacted Suunto Support regarding an issue with Heart Rate zone distribution and TSS calculations for activities synced from my Hammerhead Karoo unit. ​Currently, third-party imported activities ignore custom HR zones set on the watch and instead rely on Suunto’s default backend algorithms. As a result, rides synced from my Karoo end up with mismatched HR zones (e.g., shifting Zone 2 efforts into Zone 1), which directly distorts HR-TSS, CTL, and ATL tracking in the Suunto App. ​I strongly request that Suunto allows manual HR zone configuration directly within the Suunto App (or enables synced activities to respect the watch’s custom HR zone settings/LTHR). This would ensure that data imported from head units like Hammerhead is categorized accurately. ​Below is the official response I received from Suunto Support confirming this current limitation: Thank you for contacting Suunto Support and for providing the detailed information. We understand that you are recording cycling activities with your Hammerhead Karoo 3, which are then automatically synced to the Suunto App, and that you have noticed differences in the heart rate zone distribution between the Hammerhead platform and the Suunto App. Regarding imported activities from third-party platforms, the heart rate zone analysis displayed in the Suunto App is calculated based on the settings and algorithms used by Suunto. The HR zones configured on your Suunto Race S watch may not be applied to activities imported from other services, which can result in differences between the original platform and the Suunto App. At the moment, the Suunto App does not support setting independent heart rate zones specifically for imported third-party activities. Therefore, there is currently no setting available to force imported activities to use the HR zone configuration from Hammerhead. We appreciate your feedback regarding this functionality. We will forward your comments to the relevant team as user feedback for future improvements. Thank you again for your understanding and support. Kind regards, Suunto Support Team

I’ve lost somewhere in Lofoten my Openfit Air during my recent trip in Norway (feel free to use them—I’m giving them away ) so today I’ve bought the Spark. The sound seems way better. Hi-Res on Android 17, LHDC V5 works.

@Anton-M Is it reliable? i hope it is, i bought it and now just waiting for the delivery.
