@sky-runner sorry, I cannot tell you anything about newer models as I have SV1 . On the older Vertical it works as I need - not all WFs however at least Athelics and Ocean can be customized this way.

Yesterday’s test results, after the January update. ~10km flat run, steady easy rithm, linear route, out and back along the same route: Vertical 1. Watch showed 10.18km. GPX file distance 10,18km. Strava corrected distance 10,18km: [image: 1767945386546-selecci%C3%B3n_5046.png] Race 2. Watch showed 10.10km. GPX file distance 10,21km. Strava corrected distance 10,20km: [image: 1767945429318-selecci%C3%B3n_5045.png] So, although difference is less than in previous activities, the behavior is the same. Race 2 shows less distance (~1%) than Vertical/RaceS and tracks are less accurate, with more difference/separation between lines (Vertical tracks are more “aligned”). Race 2 is a good watch, GPS accuracy is good altough It doesn’t seem as accurate as its predecessors, and other competitors watches, in terms of GPS accuracy. Similar results regarding accuracy are also mentioned in some of the online reviews. I’ll test again this weekend in hilly terrain, which seems to show more differences, and I’ll make a decission.

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

@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.

@itoakio Suunto development knows about it. It is an iOS issue only. Here is a workaround I can share: You need to reset the bedtime schedule by following the steps below: Forget the device in the app In Sleep Goal, set the bedtime schedule to 22:00–08:00. (training zone > Recovery> Scroll to bottom >Daily Sleep Target) -> the second step I personally cannot fully follow as I have only sleep duration, not times… Reconnect the device.

@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.

@MdzOtt Please read the four posts above your last one and you will find the answer

@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!

@dani_degi check here: https://www.suunto.com/Support/Software-updates/Release-notes/suunto-race-software-updates/ or here: https://forum.suunto.com/post/182494 I think it is possible to find this with a little search

@gkaempfer in V1 you can find “Backlight -> Always ON” in the sub-menù: select the type of sport activity - sport mode (es. bike) menù “training options” I don’t know if V2 has the same menù when you choose the type of sport activity M

@sky-runner Thanks I will try this out

@eurohiker said in My Vertical 2 Wishlist for Next Update in 2026: @MarkG edited OP to reflect this! Great input. Thanks eurohiker. I’m a sea kayaker as well as other things. I suppose it just needs to be a similar presentation to weather.eg: HW Mallaig 1530hrs 4.6m, LW 2145hrs 1.6m. A graph would be useful and make calculations faster but the basic info in conjunction with charts (or local knowledge) would be sufficient.

Ok, after the Q4 2025 update, the Guides did sync again. I hoped for this…

@MdzOtt said in Can't remove routes that were synced from Strava: However, if you have an Android tablet or you run an Android emulator on Windows, suddenly SA is a decent option Another option is to run an iOS Suunto app on MacBook - this way I have a full screen route editor on laptop. But I still prefer Strava route editor because heatmap data is better and because I can overlay Strava segments. And by the way, Strava route editor does support on-route waypoints.

@vinc14 I was. Straight to bed. Ate a pasta. That was my party

@vinc14 whichever metric is most important to you, they all do the same thing.
