@Webby-Skymaster BTW, I have a similar sensation since I bought the Vertical 2 after all the navigation marketing because of the Q1. They did a nice job but there are several issues and bugs, and while there are nice things, navigation is not that good as advertised (in my opinion). I opened a thread with several things. There’s also a very nice one about the issues of the Climb Guidance 3.0

@peakymatt said in Smart wake up alarm: The standard watch alarm is pretty harsh, it’d be great to have alternatives, including one that slowly ramps up sound and vibration. I agree, suggest something similar few weeks ago. An alarm that is triggered ahead during a light sleep phase would be even better

@Elmiuel today besides the disconnections I noticed the HR is completely out of sync. This issues seems to happen on several Suunto models Suunto Run + Suunto Chest Strap [image: 1777654716108-1000098552.png]

I’ve repeated several times this morning - bringing my watch close to the magnetic cover of my iPad. It is VERY sensitive and resets the compass very readily as duffman has worked out! With me working at my desk, it seems to take between 30 and 60 mins to ‘naturally’ recalibrate the compass and give the phantom vibration alert.

@Łukasz-Szmigiel Good suggestion. Now you should be able to

This is my favorite watchface, but there are some improvements possible. I don’t like the blue circle either. You could argue the blue circle is the progress bar. That might make sense for the battery complication but not for the weather complication I use. (And I don’t like the looks of the blue circle ) Also, why are the upper and lower positions so limited in the complications you can choose? I like to see the date/battery on top, number of messages, weather and if there is an alarm set. Unfortunately, this isn’t possible. They could have made a better weather complication for the bottom with a prediction for the next couple of hours that fits in the bottom position. (Of course I realize this is a special me request and Suunto cannot implement every “I like it this way” requests)

@Muhammed-Fasil garmin is getting support for bosch ebike from 04/05/2026. I’d also at least like to know if someone at suunto is working on it or users will need to apply to partner program and do their self. I really hope that bosch will transmit data over standard protocol and not a special link to allow just garmin to do it. At today Riva bike fest a bosch guy told me it is standard bluetooth 5.0 but it was not a tech guy so i would not trust that affermation too much.

Come in Suunto! How does this issue still remains? Suunto Run + Suunto Chest Strap is unusable… Constant Bluetooth connection drops, last minutes of HR missing and now out of sync HR. Also there’s constant peaks of very high HR values that are not seen in the graph but are registered and seen if you choose HR Max in the laps. These are from today’s workout [image: 1777651105280-1000098552.png] [image: 1777651330681-1000098553.png]

Hi everyone. Nicolai, thanks for your efforts despite the limitations you’re facing. These past few days, due to activities and routes with poor outdoor coverage, I’ve given up on using this great app (until it’s fully integrated or Suunto offers more features) because I’m spending more time configuring it than training… Anyway, we’ll see more stable connections and compatibility with the watch (simultaneous Bluetooth connections) later on, as the current issues are causing constant chaos. Cheers.

I recently disabled sleep tracking and it makes a huge difference on battery usage. Now with my usage (no aod, 7 - 10 hours gps usage a week) the battery last for over a week, were I used to charge it every 4 of 5 days. I find sleeptracking not that useful so I don’t miss anything there. What does puzzles me is that disabling sleep tracking also disables hrv. But that is also a minor loss. The day after a training hrv is lower and after a rest day it is higher. No surprises there.

@Francesco-Pagano Grear color match Even though I’m more of a nylon strap guy, I find Race 1 straps great. Also, Vertical 2 straps are worth checking out.

A second gen of the Core series is a very good news. I find the Core Alpha Stealth very appealing and been thinking about buying it but now I think I might wait for the Core 2. https://the5krunner.com/2026/04/29/suunto-core-2-fcc-filing/#comments

You guys that sent your watch back and got a replacement or offer of 20% off etc consider yourself very lucky. I sent my watch to the suunto repair in September last year cost me $50 was told there is nothing wrong with the battery and sent back to me. Battery continues to drain at 30% a day. Disgraceful service

@Henrik-Nilsson they gave me a predefined answer with the usual stuff… It’s strange how a bug of this magnitude does makes them more proactive to solve it.

+1 Suunto Vertical 2 + Wahoo Roam 2 = no HR broadcast recieved
