@sky-runner my response wasn’t to you. I can see your original comment. But the comments just before mine suggested that you couldn’t see the time when sitting on the settee.

@Egika if this might be of interest to Suunto; Setting for “Time in bed” is always visible/available when Suunto App is paired to (old) Vertical Solar but not when it’s paired to Vertical 2. [image: 1768247883212-img_9937.jpeg]

I may have to backtrack my observation that Suunto used to use GNSS distance alone to calculate activity distance. I just went back and looked at some older “Running” and “Walk” activities (using the new & improved Quantified Self) and noticed that sometimes activity distance was actually shorter than GNSS distance, even for older models like the SV1, 9PP, and even 9P. Not by much, perhaps only 20-40m over 5km in certain cases, but something nonetheless. I’m mostly a trail runner, though. For these activities, GNSS distance and activity distance almost always align or activity distance is slightly longer due to elevation gain/loss. Perhaps all Suunto watches do share the same distance algorithm (which makes sense), but the newer models are registering less-accurate GNSS accuracy and therefore applying more distance correction?

@Egika Two activities without a problem (but this may mean nothing). I will keep trying (winter is just starting ( ))

@matteo_000 there is no such option on the V2. You can choose Always On Display, but that implies a dimmed version of the display after some seconds that you don’t interact with the watch.

@Tony-Monteiro yes we dont have a development team anymore. (sarcasm)

@v.sacre Same for me. I thought maybe the first connection of a footpod would cause the problem that the metrics will not recorded in future sessions- with or without a pod. Would be strange and annoying but could be possible in both of our cases…

@prairiedog Wow! Well, I tried a million things. First, I tried downgrading, but it only put the watch in safe mode for several hours. Then I reinstalled the same firmware version. Multiple soft resets. Nothing. I did a hard reset, and it was useless. Then I went back to using my 9PP (disconnecting the Race S), on which sleep tracking worked. I went back to the Race S, still nothing. Then I adjusted the sleep time on the 9PP from 0.00 to 0.00 and went back to the Race S again. Nothing. Finally, I reinstalled the app with the Race S connected, and magically, it worked. So I don’t know if it was a combination of factors or just the app reinstallation.

@OutdoorMan Thank you. Indeed you can toggle badge (Group Title) visibility under Edit profile. Although I’m not sure additional titles are supposed to be visible automatically by default, the first one reached (Bronze) was definitely visible by default. @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Issues with group Join button erroneously displayed or missing as described in previous posts still applies.

After 17 walking activities with SV2, some on flat terrain and some on hilly terrain I got 1st V02max today. It was a brisk walk on flat terrain in zone 1 with good GPS and OHR. Great way to finish this year.

said in Ressources - what factors are impacting it?: resting heart rate is not the same then resting heart beat?!

@krakra the maps go dark with AOD. But only an issue if cycling with the watch on your handlebars. You can still follow on the bike when they darken. In other modes like running, walking etc where you raise your wrist they wake up so quickly it doesn’t make any difference. I have the V2 now, from the V1. The V2 is much easier to read if your eyes aren’t perfect. I need reading glasses but can read a lot of fields on the V2 I couldn’t of read on the V1. I purchased the V2 at launch, I think September, and have found the watch excellent for my user case.

@Egika You are so patient to help lazy forumers.

@Tami999 I have similar issues from time to time. Sometimes it gets stuck trying to connect to the built-in OHR sensor even though it tells me that it has connected to the external sensor - the way I can tell is that the sensor icon is different between the OHR and the external sensor. And sometimes it completely fails to connect to the external sensor no matter what, and I have to unpair the sensor and pair it again, and that sometimes takes a few attempts like you described. The whole experience is sub-par! And if I try to use two external sensors - that works even worse!

@GiPFELKiND you barometer had noise and ups and downs. So this is not due to the update fyi. WE analyzed the data. About the other one activity I see fused alti kicking in and that created the ascent. Lets see how this goes need more info
