@Speed-Man Maybe I haven’t explained myself clearly but I do know the diferences between both technologies, and as I said I do use the chest strap when I want to have the ZoneSense information, for the rest of the cases I use the OHR armband. Previous to my SVTS the wirst OHR was very bad for me and the chest strap makes me a nasty sore during the hot months of the year, that in my area could be from April to October. With the SVTS the wirst OHR has improved greatly but it still fails a lot of times for me, the armband is very comfortable and convinient for me. Regarding the accuracy, bpm values are at par with the chest strap in most of the ocasions except in interval sessions where it lags behind the chest strap, not in the values but in the responsiveness.

@André-Faria at my institute we use LLMs, I am not a huge fan, but there are ways in which they can help developers. It is still early days though, IMHO, and we will see what the real effect is in few years from now.

As I used Vertical Ti in past I enjoyed more Titanium more than Solar:D

@Rokelly Make sure the SSID is not hidden and some special flags are not set on the router. This setting made me problems: “802.11r Fast Transition”. I needed to disable it on my router for several devices to work. Also authentication should be WPA2-PSK And I run into my self-made problem by having only specific MAC addresses allowed and forgot to add the watch in the list. That’s all I have in mind…

@Steven-Hambleton I ran a half marathon recently with my Suunto Run and used Marathon Mode as well as Ghost Runner. Worked great for me and I got a new PB Very happy to have had those tools.

@Egika ok, thanks. So just have to wait for next firmware maybe

Same for me during last days

@JochenParat thanks for the update. The result is: there is an issue + there are cases where the build is not published but nobody can say why.

Tested on Race2, with all features enabled on the iPhone—including GPS and app background running. A connection was established, but it would drop every few minutes, and it was no longer possible to track the location. Both devices are running the latest software… Uninstalled‍️

@Jesús-LP there have been recently some issues with climb guidance, that should have been solved. We just have to wait for the next App update https://forum.suunto.com/post/196697

@sindavide said: @elbee Ok, then it’s the watch. Did Suunto offer any solution? By the way, while the Smart Sensor is being repaired i got another one, used yesterday for biking and today for swimming, seems fine, no disconnections They told me not to expect a fix by a firmware update anytime soon. During my training yesterday I also didn’t had a disconnect. Have to say, only the heart rate sensor was connecten. The battery of my stryd was empty (after my vacation I didn’t check). And I started with frequent reboots, also to see if that mitigate the battery drain problems. (after a forced reboot due to a complete empty battery after a hike caused by the battery train, my battery usage is quite okay)

I can’t get my Spark earbuds to pair with the Suunto app. The Bluetooth connection is established successfully, but that’s where the process stops. I tested the Spark earbuds with an Android phone, and there the pairing with the Suunto app works flawlessly. This makes me think there may be an issue specifically with the iPhone/Suunto app combination. Is this a known issue? P.S. The Suunto app, my iPhone, and the Spark earbuds are all up to date. I also updated the Spark earbuds’ firmware while they were connected to the Android phone. I’m using an iPhone 17.

Guess claude on ultra code was able to recover the missing schedule workout! Soon on the app (when my credits renew ahahha) [image: Whats-App-Image-2026-09-03-at-15-05-47.jpg] [image: Whats-App-Image-2026-09-03-at-15-05-57.jpg]

@gonzosurfer what happened finally??? Did you fix it?

Thanks all for the replies! I reinstalled the latest firmware from the 2.53.42 downgrade and this did not help either. After the installation of 2.56.28 there was an error message 1403 I will send the logs to Suunto and see what they can do. The fact that the problems appeared with the newer firmware and disappear when I return to 2.53.42 tells me (or at least I hope so) that it shouldn’t be a hardware issue…

@elbee haha, recognizable dynamics. My girlfriend might notice the same when I switch

I’d just be happy if they could go back to the status prior the update that broke it. Battery life on my Race isn’t an issue at all. Actually it runs so long that I almost forget that it needs to be charged from time to time

A new relase is aviable : *Release notes 2.56.28 Staged update starting on August 31st, 2026 This update improves software stability and includes several bug fixes Improvements: Improved overall stability Fixed an issue where pool swimming distance and duration could be displayed incorrectly in certain scenarios* I hope this will correct the bug !
