@sky-runner how frustrating. Reliability is the number item no matter what. If you are in the mountains and the watch fails, its very frustrating and problematic imo. Sure, important to always have a back up gps unit with you but still. I haven’t had any issues with my watches during long outings but it does concern me.

Updated less than 10 min no issues

@elbee said: 6 crashes in 2 years is way too much. I only had 1 in just over one and a halve year. Obviously it happened in a race. Once in a race, within weeks of having the watch. Another two or three times during tracking and two times on holiday while charging and once while sleeping that I described in another topic…

My favorite hardware since 2023. I can’t stand wearing anything else on my wrist. A piece of art. I can’t recall any major issues. They just do what they’re supposed to, but don’t expect any smart lifestyle features. Love it.

@sindavide My polar oh1+ and polar h9 and my stryd looses connection. Suunto support confirmed from the logs, the devices disconnected/connected several times until it didn’t connect anymore and the stryd was not to blame (don’t know how they came to that conclusion)

@Łukasz-Szmigiel @mff73 thanks - it seems the text is updated right away but the app is still old … in the Appstore it still shows the creation date of v1.3 - even so i just bumped the manifest up v1.8, rebuild, and uploaded. I also had the impression that updates are immediate - but now it seems apps dont propagate anymore … [image: 1788208291452-bildschirmfoto-2026-08-31-um-22.29.05.png]

@HonzaS yes, but that doesn’t excuse providing garbage data, if ZoneSense calculate this, then it shouldn’t display it…its the most basic data validation you can do !

Hi, exercise today without any problems Sw. 2.56.18 Android 6.12.7 [image: 1788189629900-1000003530.jpg]

@Joan-Borràs There are two S+ timer apps. Maybe one could help? [image: 1788175592387-screenshot_20260831_132556_suunto.jpg]

@Alon-Dotan said: instead using closed source app that can be used with suunto devices only, you can use https://submersion.app/ I added support to submersion to import dives directly from the cloud, also working on cloud imports from Garmin and Shearwater. Some of the best features is: list item The ability to import the same dives from multiple computers (main and backup), mark them as same dive and compare them plan dive, save it, make the dive and check the actual dive vs the planed one own your own data without the dependency on a vendor Connect to cloud? https://submersion.app/privacy/

@Tony-Monteiro said: @elbee I think we all hope having a new firmware just to stop the battery drain… For functionnality, the Race is not anymore a priority for suunto. And the Race is a good watch for this price. So, just pray for a battery fix I don’t pray for the battery fix (I think I can mitigate that problem) I pray for the bluetooth connection lost fix. But, als we all know, praying doesn’t solve anything. Suunto isn’t working on a fix. (And neither for the battery problem. They actually think it doesn’t exist). And there are some other minor bugs te be fixed. But I don’t need any new functionality. From the last update, the more fine grained alarm settings where welcome. Trackmode is useless (and I train on a track at my athletics club every week). But I’m definitely not eager to install a new firmware for my race s (if there will be any) given the large number of people complaining about reboots and crashes after the latest firmware of the race 2/vertical 2.

@thailon Just start an activity or open the map widget on the watch and wait untill you see that the watch found your location

@snow crazy how it didn’t occur to them that people running with their running watches would be interested in running data from another device by the same company, and in combining both sources of running data for analysis. Other than that, the experience is quite good in my view, coming from Schockz Openrun. Which I broke. Several times. In the end after 3 years i couldn’t repair them adequately anymore. So, let’s try the Spark… Sound quality is really good, very enjoyable. Unless… it’s a windy day you’re road or gravel cycling you’re on a average-noisy treadmill there’s traffic nearby the gym is blasting music at you Then it’s just not loud enough and doesn’t isolate you from those noises (that is normally part of the appeal). Those issues also affected bone conduction headphones, but not as much. So, no new issues, but a regression. I will do another cycling commute next week when I’m back from overseas and check again. Until then I’ll be using them at hotel gyms a lot. I think i will keep them, but the fact that I’m not sure yet says it all.

@lazing usually the watch faces have a place where a running timer is displayed. Isn’t that doing the job? Or is there a watch face that does not include this? No need to go to the timer widget…
