Tiny fonts again - poor.

@babychai No no, never used screen protector. Suunto saphire glass is very good, no need to protect it with a weaker layer IMO. But I think it’s a hardware issue, watch is not in warranty anymore, but I can live with it, until Suunto Vertical 3 release :). Cheers.

@Egika @maszop I can only share my experiences. I sometimes get the notification when my speed is clearly under 5.4km/h and quite often I don’t get a notification when I walk faster than 5.4km/h. I live in the Netherlands, not a really challenging gnss surrounding. Current pase with gps isn’t the most accurate, but I sometimes continue to hike for over 500 meter and then gps should have a fairly accurate pace.

@elbee Thanks for your input but I wasn’t buying it so did some further testing. Fired up my old 9Peak & connected the HR sensor to that, exactly the same outcome with constant connect/disconnect so it’s the sensor that’s faulty rather than my Race. I’ve sent it back to Suunto via online service request & as it’s only 8 months old I’m hoping for a warranty exchange

@MikeC30 When I first tested this widget – quite far from the coast – it only showed the country name. But when I was near the beach and checked how it worked in practice, it showed more specific local locations instead.

@Squirrel I can only tell what I observe. The gnss data is synced right when your watch is connected to the suunto app on the phone. At least, at some point the sync process is saying it is syncing gps data.

@Egika it was both “2” just 5 minutes ago. So already fixed

@Ze-Stuart yes I have used elite HRV for some time and then stopped. Unfortunately currently that’s how my nights looks like and the watch does not recognize those as sleeps. Hence why enabling HRV during long naps could be beneficial. – ms Avg. sleep HRV 4 h 57 min 23:24 - 01:18 Nap 1 h 54 min 03:13 - 04:40 Nap 1 h 27 min 05:36 - 06:34 Nap 58 min 07:44 - 08:22 Nap 38 min

allrighty then… back in business #fingerscrossed Trying to factory-reset the watch while battery left, did not work. It always crashed and restarted before I got the chance to cycle through the menu to that option, also button-press did not work. Let it drain power. charger (USB-C) was connected to a docking-station, placed watch onto charger… charging icon appeared, followed with the bootup of the watch… did not follow it all the way through, but ‘green firmware restore’ screen were shown when battery was sufficient (3% ?)… let it lie for a bit and started with black screen… as already noted in earlier post, the watchface is non-existent, black screen… pressing the crown (middle button), my ‘Sun-up / Sun-down’ secondary screen is shown… pressing ‘back / lower button’ returns to the non-existing watchface screen… turning the crown to ControlPanel > Settings > General > Reset settings , it stated it needed 40% battery before doing so… Not sure how come, but leaving it on the charger kept the menu’s scrollable, and the watch did not crash ! Waited till 40% battery and did ‘Reset settings’ … Watch displayed that it would turn off, and crown-button press needed to be used to boot-up again… it did not… After these messages, it reboot and started restoring the firmware screen once again… uhoh… but… it was one continuous cycle where the green progressbar slowely filled and when 100% full, the watch booted and all initial questions on eg. age, length, metrics were presented… Opened Suunto App and reconnected the watch… after removing the old device on my iphone, otherwise it will not pair ! (bluetooth menu, ‘Forget this device’) So now I have a fresh device that is working as expected (for all I can discover for now)… Only nuisance… need to recreate all my custom workouts Will take it for a 'move ’ this evening and see if it holds up. Cheers @dimitrios-kanellopoulos , if anything is unclear, feel free to follow-up.

@isazi I only have a recent (as in today) reaction from Suunto stating they haven’t got a clue what causes the problem, let alone how to fix it. But please do report it, with logs, when it happens again. That would be very helpful.

@boxwex Also you need to wait 10 minutes to start seeing it working as suggested by snow

@Squirrel Exactly. Why I have to download an update for an hour or more, if I just want to delete the map?

@ggrego said: @peegee Hello, is it impossible to use ascents in personalized sport mode? it is possible. Read the first message in this thread. You just have to make the custom mode after updating the firmware.

@mickywickyftw said: I think I’ve worked it out - it was a typo! Ok, I’ll try in a few days

@sartoric No, no protector, suunto has the best saphire glass And always clean. Maybe it’s a hardware fault as @tieutieu and @isazi mentioned. Well, glad to know that it still working as before on some watches because the timing it changes on mine, sure looks like it was being deprecated. Thank you all for the clarification.

@Triple-S You have a point here regarding the possibility to “synchronize” algorithms based on the GFs for a group. This is something thats not possible for RGBM Regarding the 30/70 I think this isn’t State of the Art anymore. Also not 40/85 like default on the Ocean. If you really believe in the Buhlmann theory something like 100/85 would be best to avoid saturation during the first stop. But again that doesn’t seem to be possible on the most dive computers

@Nico78 There’s no “classic” bluetooth. Suuunto watches (and most wearable devices) use low power edition of bluetooth (btle) on all suunto i believe it could be 5.x edition minor number doesn’t make sense. it works on the same band 2.4 GHz. but significantly lower transmition power ±0.1 W as far i remember depends on exact antena and case.

@Gunnar I tried that, but it didn’t work for swimming.

Test run today with a Garmin. Race2 passed with flying colors. A huge thanks to the developers. Great job, guys. [image: IMG-20260718-123733.jpg]
