My v2 tests are ongoing. My eyes have gotten used to the AMOLED screen. Battery consumption is definitely higher than v1. 3 days of training, walking, and daily use (maybe I played with the flashlight a bit too ) On the 3rd day, the charge was 69%. AOD (Automatic On/Off) was not always on, brightness was medium, otherwise everything else was on. My first impression is that connecting to GPS in dense forests is much faster than v1. I’m continuing to test it.

@maszop Thanks. And weirdly it has now synced correctly some 20+ hours after finishing the activity. That’s what usually happens an hour or two after I’ve grumbled about it on here. I’m inclined to suspect some sort of Bluetooth issue but whether it’s the phone or the watch I can’t say. It’s annoying.

@Efejota said in Offline Maps and Routing in Suunto App: Offline apparently requires that the watch has been paired (previously?) I just tried this since I was wondering the same thing (I have two phones that I switch between, one running old SA software and one with the new offline map option). So it will work, but the key is to remove the pairing from the watch only (Settings > Connectivity > Paired devices > MobileApp > Forget). This will keep the watch associated with the device you are moving away from and thus keep the offline maps as available option. However, if you remove the watch from the app by using the “Manage connection” option, offline maps disappear. I assume this will work for a tablet running SA as well.

@Egika Great to hear! @safari it’s int the experimental builds TF group I’ll keep eye on this version a few days and if everything well… publish in general builds group.

@EzioAuditore said in What do you think of the Suunto Spark?: @Brad_Olwin Yes I have the Pro 3. Great in everything except for running. Maybe I should try other ear tips Ang give it a try. But after the open ear headphones I don’t wont to be fully isolated. The Pro 3 have complete transparency mode so there is no isolation at least not in my experience. They also have an adaptive transparency that I find works well especially with noisy environments where background is a bit muted but nearby and abrupt sounds are well transmitted.

@gkaempfer Same here

@Brad_Olwin @aiv4r I completely agree with you.

@brave_dave No, fortunately I don’t experience continuous disconnection issues. It only happens in water due to the physical limitations of Bluetooth transmission. When the arm comes out of the water, the connection is restored automatically without any problems. At least with the Vertical 2. Which device are you using?

I don’t know what the battery is. I’ll check. But I was thinking of trying to replace the battery. This morning, during training, the watch lost connection with the heart rate monitor again. So the problem still exists. This takes approximately 30 to 45 seconds and then the connection is re-established.

I asked Suunto for a hardware service on the watch but until now no response I will wait for it because I don’t want to change to the competitors

@egika Yesterday I tried Race 2 with the new software and the behavior is the same regarding distances and paces as previous software: [image: 1775805385326-qnhvtpfrnu.png] Left: raw GPS distance showed (10.17km). Right: postprocessed final distance showed (10.01km). First one is the GPS data recorded distance (similar to the recorded by other devices and the “corrected distance” by Strava for example. Second one is the “filtered” distance saved in FIT file data and showed by the watch ((tipically the other watches would show 10.16km with the 10.17km raw distance). First one is always similar in all the devices. Second one only differs (shortened, 1%-1.5%) in Race 2. In every activity, both running, walking or riding the bike. So it seems Race 2 performs a different data processing than his other “brothers”.

@raven said in Suunto and Concept 2 indoor rowing: I believe you’re referring to the “commodule” that attaches onto the WaterRower S4 monitor. Yes, the ComModul is what I, at present, have on my rower. Well, technically, as the battery needs charging, and I’ve lost the cable. New one should be in later this week. Good to know, though, that SmartRow is not (yet) connecting to ErgSync; saves me a few hundred that I’d rather not spend in the hopes it would work. Thanks for taking one for the team, @raven.

@snow said in New firmware 2.53.42: You need to start the activity Ah! Yes… That works. This was incredibly convoluted… Thanks. Hope my bumbling around will help other users. Edit: Everybody is talking about the Menu only accessible from the Map screen itself (the 3 lines/hamburger icon). Edit 2: And it works even without any Route loaded. Great!

@Squirrel The update hasn’t improved the problem with wakefulness detection in sleep tracking either… I’m recording about 30-60 minutes more sleep time each day than I actually slept… it’s such a shame, it skews the resource and recovery statistics… why does Suunto always smooth out wakefulness with light sleep? Has anyone heard if they’ve fixed this problem?

I’ve been using a Polar H10 and Morpheus M7 with both my Race 2 and Vertical 1 for road and trail running and CrossFit and have had none of the issues mentioned here

@Horizontal_2 said in Batterie drain since the new Update: I’ve found something else! I did experience the drain as well. in 3 hours a drain of 3%. The Wireless Network and Discovery were on. That’s a battery killer as well Yep, turning these off definitely helps
