@isazi Thanks a lot. Yes it’s related to the incomplete recording matter. Once saved it shows the whole route but if you want while recording to check where you started it deletes the first bits. Quite harsh once on glaciers where you need to follow the exact route back and it does not appear. But I guess you got what the issue is related to. Thanks a lot

When I start the activity, it shows me the duration, but not the depth meters and distance. These remain at 0. After exiting, however, everything is displayed. Does anyone else have that? I had the same today on two out of 3 watches. The third one showed all data correctly. Reported it to Suunto Thx! I was at the bike park at the weekend and it works as before. The departure is counted and indicatedI was at the bike park at the weekend and it works as before. The departure is counted and displayed

Is the Race 1 still a good buy at the moment? I only do walking, gym and cycling. How does it perform with strength training?

@nseslija thank you so much

@AYHAN-YILDIZ @Elipsus I can confirm that the SpO2 widget is working on field test firmware. I have no idea where the information stating this was disabled was generated from.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos no worries, this can happen thank you anyway

@halajos yes, I was talking about “complex” structured interval (as we cannot define multiple set of repetitions with the standard “interval” option in sport modes)

@Brad_Olwin thanks this is helpful. its a bit hard to find some of the more elevation oriented information on a variety of devices online…not very many of the user guides or forums or reviews really address it specifically enough, though this one is probably by far the best and most thorough place!

@mountainchris here’s one issue I can not explain… I’ve started at my doorstep with clearly wrong altitude and observed how fusedalti had corrected altitude after the first “hill”. the route should be 99.something% symmetrical but a alti drop happened 1/3rd way back and it remained wrongish. the graph itself does not look like the sensor was blocked. no up or down spikes. but the last bit on the way home has a different shape than the start that was corrected by fusedalti. it would be interesting how often fusedalti kicks in and if it also considers gps signal strength for accuracy? I think it does, because if gps height is several meters off, it would unnecessarily “correct” an almost correct value. [image: 1650992338451-b9f29c17-0b90-4170-b49e-93f5bec312b7-image.png]

@DRezvoff I don’t know why that is. If it’s spartan, I haven’t had any problems before. Plus it’s my main source of inspiration in my work.

Here’s what I’ve found works, most of the time: I’ve had 4 Sunnto 7’s as follows: Bought 1st in winter 2020 -> had to send for RMA/repair that first summer due to dead after swimming w it. Had altitude issues as described by many here. Replacement watch was fine for awhile, then eventually had altitude issues. Then IT bricked, and had to replace IT under warranty a 2nd time, the 2nd summer. Bought a 2ndary Suunto 7 so I wasnt without my watch/recording all summer for the 2nd summer in a row. Altitude was fine - but the replacement RMA came back too soon for it to start acting up. Now 6 months later, the altitude on the 4th watch (2nd RMA) is acting up for the 2nd time. A known 170m ascent loop read 390m yesterday… The 1st time a few months ago I cleaned it with the baby toothbrush. This time, I tried doing that 3-4 times and it didnt improve things. My test: watch is on window sill, good GPS, WILDLY jumping up and down in altitude while recording. ***Decided its probably a varying combo of moisture and/or dirt that can affect the baro hole. *** With that in mind, I put it in the fridge overnight, powered off, after thoroughly and gently cleaning the baro hole with baby toothbrush under running warm water. Now, watch has been on window sill for 30 mins with 0 ascent, 0 descent - which is night and day from yesterday’s tests which had ~100m up and down within 2 mins. RECOMMEND: clean baro hold gently with baby toothbrush whenever it starts acting up. If that doesnt fix your alti readings, leave overnight in fridge to wick moisture out.

Whatever happened to the Suunto 5 Peak? I installed this beta release long ago, and never received an official update? @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos do you perhaps know? Whenever I go into the watch updates in the app it tells me the update will be older than the current version.

@HoBart don’t think so. There are quite some watch faces in the pipeline for Race/Vertical, but not these so far…

@pavel-samokha awesome, it has been fixed now thank you so much

The Race 2 is my first Smart/Sports watch and I am quite happy I got a titanium version on a good bargain second hand and I like the look and feel (although I like the bezel of the Vertical or Race1 more). I am on my 10th day and the battery is at 25% with 24/7 HR measurement, sleep tracking and wake-on-rise with only display showing. So far in my 10 days I had 2 GPS activities and 4 non-GPS activities logged. I don’t know exactly if the battery life statement of 18 days includes logged trainings but I cant imagine how to reach 18 days but lets see still happy with the battery. I think the crown moves too easily and would wish for more haptic feedback. Sleep tracking seems to be quite good, although it misses sometimes some short awake times. I really love the screen and UI

@Egika said in Suunto 7 - Tips and tricks, apps and watch faces: @pilleus yeah, but this is only possible with an Android phone. I have iPhones, so that stand-alone myradar would have been nice… I have an iPhone and MyRadar works perfectly
