@jjpaz This is the action I’ve noticed too. The seconds stay visible when I do this (pull up activity screen but don’t actually start an activitiy). Like you said, GPS or something must stay active, which prevents the watch from going back into its more “dormant” state of time mode.

@Egika while I find that a SuuntoPlus app can’t possibly compare to a decent programmed multisports functionality (I didn’t try this one, but I did try the Swimrun app and it just doesn’t work), I agree this is getting off topic and I will leave it at this: the Suunto Race S is a beautiful watch and I’m glad that Courtney now has her own version 🙏 (hopefully with extra functionality to come 🤪).

@thanasis it’s very weird

the offset happen’s before the dotted line so they are not necessarily related . @Mff73 thanks

@Dareo said in Suunto ZoneSense:

@Brad_Olwin @far-blue Thanks for the input guys. FYI - I don’t race. I hit the road / trail / hills 3 - 4 times a week because it makes me feel good and, as a 63 year old retired veteran, I still have the mindset that my body needs to be prepared for whatever life throws at it. Thus my interest in getting a better understanding of my HR and threshold limits to know how much I can reasonably push myself and reduce the risk of over-training.

Excellent! I am older than you so keenly aware of overtraining. Using ZS you could plan for 70-80% of your efforts to be aerobic to very low anaerobic using ZS and 15% anaerobic, occasionally doing something hard in VO2M range.

As @far-blue stated, a ramp test or Cooper test will give you a good LT estimate and your ZS data a good estimate of AT.

@Roberto_m @gonzosurfer The HR is fine for daily and sleep HR measurements, works great for walking too. I have an Apple Watch Ultra 2 that has supposedly the best optical HR available. It does not accurately record HR during my intervals.

So, I do not know where you expect Suunto to find or manufacture an optical HR. None of them are good enough because the underlying technology is not good enough. However, for recovery, HRV during sleep, and all the other information everyone demands the optical HR is good enough. Because customers want and demand a watch to tell them how they are feeling, when to sleep, how to train and when to train manufacturers have no choice.

In part I agree with you as I would prefer an athlete-centered watch that does not possess OHR, does not track sleep, does not track HRV but is very thin and has phenomenal battery. I am a long-time Training Peaks user and the training integration with TP is essential for me, that is all I need. I train predominately by RPE.

@Jan-Suchánek I have small wrist too, 165mm, and coming from mechanical watches (daily was 39mm with 11mm) I thought I would find the Vertical too big for everyday use. It is bigger but really comfortable. I like how the Vertical wears.

@elis001 I have also noticed this little bug on my Suunto Vertical.

It’s happened to me as well. I also have the feeling that the battery in these times drains faster.

@Audaxjoe said in Can't control music with my Suunto Race S:

@Cinzia-Araosta mine does this a lot. Restarting the phone normally resolved it for a few days. Then it happens again.

I’m on Android with the Vertical.

Race S, Google Pixel 6, Android 15

Only a restart of the phone resolves the problem.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos afaik so far in production fw it’s very basic, just degree number field

Thanks! Done.

You would think a Finnish manufacturer would get this setup out of the box… Polar has every type of ski activity defined in their basic setup.

Let it snow!

@Mff73 Thanks for the explanation, I learned something new 👍

@Ecki-D merci pour ce retour, après avoir lu plusieurs comparatif, mon choix et fait sur cette montre.
1er marche nordique ce matin, 20 km…
Et en effet la cartographie est superbe, seul problème que j’ai eu…une énorme différence de pas entre l’application Strava et la montre.
Mais en trek aucunes importance.

@fritzbt2013 I have the same problem with my Race S. Its too slow to be usable for me, about 1 Second counted from lifting the arm
My workaround is to activate it with the back of my hand, touching (not pushing) the crown. It has a secret touch sensor there, but I think it only works with lift to wake off. And maybe AOD on, at least thats my setting

@Silviu-Adrian-Moise
Did you try a fridge test?
https://forum.suunto.com/post/42684
It may give some more proofs for a faulty sensor (once sure you have well cleaned the sensor with warm water, etc…)

@Sorin-C said in Wake to raise during during exercise only:

Hi,

I like to keep my watch without backlight on and without raise to wake during normal time mode. However during exercise I would like to have raise to wake. Is it possible such combination? I searched the forum a bit but couldn’t find any information.

Thank you.

Unfortunately it is not possible.

@Jan-Van-de-Velde I own both (my SV was send to repair this summer and I couldn’t rain without watch, so I bought the SRs).
I share all your thoughts.
If my SV had advanced sleep tracking (sleep phases), I would probalbly use it every day and night like before…
But I now wear my SRs at night to have have sleep phases (and also because it’s light).
Screen of the SRs is awesome, but I much prefer the touchscreen navigation between screens of my SV. Build quality is great on both event SV nicer to me (plus sapphire and Ti)

Let’s see what Suunto will bring us in the future, but no need to be a genius : next generations of watches will improve amoled watches battery life, and we’ll see OHR and other mesurements tracking improvements.

For now, SV + SRs is a “luxury” but lovely combination !

@jakeenan
Agree with you for coloroured emoji.

For temperature, the one on the map is from weather data provider, but the one from activity data list is registered by your watch and thus influenced by your body temperature, so probably offset.

@Sasso89 can you please show a picture of what you are referring to as main screen?
Thx
