@2b2bff well well well … if you tell to someone who is doing a diet that he lost 5000 g and to his wife that she lost 5 kg … you are right … this is not the same … the wife will be super happy but the man wearing a suunto and for who 43 and 43.0 make a difference will start to question himself about the precision of instrument … how it could have been possible that he arrives preciselly to exact 5000 Joking !!!

@Mff73 always nice when someone else has done the work! Thanks, I didn’t know about that post, or Sonny’s work.

@Joaquin this is excellent news. Thank you so much!!

Have to say, what you don’t know you cannot miss. But last year, in a very dark hotelroom, the screenflashlight of my race s was sufficient for my wife to find something on the table while I could stay in bed. So, for now, I’m in “what’s all the fuss about” mode. The digital crown of my race s is complex. Just using it to scroll up or down through menus or items is hideous. The 5 button layout of my previous garmin was better, but with touchscreen I don’t use the buttons very often. But to zoom in and out in a map it’s great. Again with a but. I was used to zoom on the garmin and it was horrible. Complex and buggy as hell. So is the crown just better that worst case garmin or would a 5 button Suunto implementation beat the digital crown? Might. perhaps. Not unlikely. Have to say, the race s provides the features I want in the smallest possible case, so the vertical 2 wouldn’t be competition for my race s (for me). So 5 buttons or a digital crown wasn’t a consideration. Have to say, 5 buttons shouts a bit more outdoorsy and a digital crown a bit more watch like.

Moved from Race S to Coros Apex 2 Pro because of MIP Display

@aqua86 Thank you for your feedback. Let’s hope this is implemented soon. In my view, this should be done within the app, as it is the app that passes the data on to Ocean.

I mean, with the watch in Spanish (without touching anything in the phone), the issue is there. With the watch in English there’s no issue. I’m not sure about these headshets. I expected better firmware. There’s no integration either and touch is too sensitive. Physical buttons are much better while running in my opinion.

@Tieutieu said in New on Dev-side..... Race Pacer with planned segments/paces: the only “issue” you could have with your preload plan is that even if you plan your 2,45km @5:19/km segment like in your exemple, on the field there is a lot of chances that your segment will not be 2,45km Yes, as someone who uses navigation routes extensively I can tell that whatever distance was planned, it always end up being inaccurate. In my experience, when running on trails, planned distances can easily be 5% too short. For example, If the on-the-route distance to a waypoint was 20 km, it reality it can end up being 21 km.

@Egika said in swimrun mode: @microniko Yes, the S+ app does (or should) detect the transitions and create laps. Just this happens all within the single sport mode (running). So you end up with a running activity that has laps for when you change in and out of swimming. It is a bit strange that you can’t use it in multisport modes… Anyway, I’ll just have to live with it. Repeat option: […] OK. I understand. Thanks!

@aiv4r Thank you! I’m now looking for AirBnB accommodation for the UTA 22 next year I love this watch but I’m kicking myself for not trying on the Race 2 and the updated bands at the Suunto stand…

The models of garmin that are testen in a scientific way (not by some sport gadget blogger) shows that hrv isn’t that accurate on those models. (See https://the5krunner.com/2026/05/05/forerunner-265-hrv-study/ , links to sources on that page) I have no reason to believe other models or other brands are more accurate.

Hi everyone, I think my problem was that I had configured the screens and synced them, but when I tried the mode without GPS, it wouldn’t start the custom views, and I only had a few bits of information. Yesterday, while sorting through my data, I got my custom displays. However, now in the Suunto app view, I have no details at all… just an error message… and the Strava sync, TrainingPeaks, tells me I only ran 6km instead of 10… Ugh… you chase one problem and another pops up. But so my original problem is solved… or at least it seems so. Thanks everyone.

@Manuel-Extreme I agree that V1 still is the best watch suunto has built in recent years. what distinguishes phones from watches is, that watches do not need security updates. V1 works perfectly well with the last release. of course we see new features on V2 and R2 that would be nice to have. if I hadto decide today for a new suunto I would still go for V1.

@2b2bff Super mega thanks !!!

@Mff73 USB doesn’t work either. After connecting to the laptop it only charges the watch - no data transfer. I have followed the guide, that unfortunately does not cover much, and no troubleshooting section either.

@sky-runner it does actually. It always starts to connect to the last used, but advances to others it finds. But you can disable each sensor per activity and it will remember this…

I wanted to know if it was a normal behavior of the watch because on my side it is a problem because it turns on almost all the time the watch and so the autonomy is not there

suunto run + suunto spark = 5KM superb!
