suunto run + suunto spark = 5KM superb!

@Sergei-Ladeishchikov Thank you for your confirmation! I’m glad it’s not just screwing things up

@brechtvb said in Is there still demand for a modern MIP endurance watch?: But what puzzles me for even the high end watches have low resolution and small screens. Because there are simply no MIP displays available that are high resolution or larger than 1.4". Furthermore, even if someone tried to produce a high resolution MIP display it would have a low contrast and look awful. This is a physical limitation of the technology. There has to be a tiny lens and color filter in front of every pixel, and that is difficult to scale to a higher resolution.

@JSampson I have a found a Workaround for me: i am Using „Health Sync“ to Sync Sleep and HRV to Apple Health. From Apple Health i am using HealthFit to Sync this HRV and Sleep to TrainingPeaks. That works but is still a workaround. This Sync have to be a nobrainer and native integrated into the Suunto App. TrainingPeaks Integration in Suunto is still not good. (No Intervall Counter visible, Health Data Sync, Workout Preview on Watch, etc)

@garyt687 This post honestly deserves way more attention. If Suunto really wants to break properly into the tech diving / enthusiast market, this is exactly the kind of feedback they should listen to. What’s frustrating is that the hardware actually seems really solid. Big screen, long battery, GPS, nice design… it genuinely feels like the foundation for a top dive computer is already there. Most of the problems you mention sound software/firmware related, which means they could realistically be fixed. And the thing is, when people ask for dive computer recommendations on Reddit, Scubaboard, forums etc., it’s usually experienced rec divers and tech divers answering. Those communities massively influence what people buy. If those users don’t trust features like GF99, compass behavior, or GPS tracking, word spreads fast. The app point is also super important. A lot of divers want a proper digital logbook with deco info, profiles, gas switches, equipment tracking, dive numbering, all that stuff. Right now it sounds like the app is way too basic for the audience Suunto is targeting. But honestly, with the hardware they already have, this could become a seriously good platform if they iterate fast and actually listen to users like you. Btw regarding the entry/exit GPS points: why are they so wrong exactly? In theory those should be GPS-corrected at the surface before descent and after ascent no?

@enriqueescoms Hello Here a new version I realized while looking to suuntoplus big number that in face I can also use the total full scren iI want, so I decided to let the original white below part because I feel it is nice, but instead to remove the clock on the top so that I can now use better the screen which allow me to show both the thousand informations as well as the unit information in a better manner here some screen shots : for the distance and compared to the sport screen with 3 fields when the swimmer swim already 450 m [image: 1779232089752-c8704d52-5b10-43f7-8d9d-e9c155ca2259-image.png] the same but now compared to the graphic and when a swimmer already swim 1 kilometer and 25 meter [image: 1779232170551-1354e6a9-4868-4165-b95c-ed8b3993d247-image.png] for the time compared to the sport screen with 4 fields when it is 1 h and 10 minutes in the morning … yes yes there are crasy swimmers … or me !!! [image: 1779232316977-7df9c74f-0222-4f82-adc4-1092920f36b1-image.png] and for the duration compared to suunto plus big number after 14 minutes and 5 seconds [image: 1779232240218-527a5090-35b3-4168-88c0-3696027d3a12-image.png] the beauty is that now if I want I can also put some unit information like km. and m. in very small font for the distance… eventually I could also complexify even more the app byt puttin around it the famouse blue, green, yellow, read circles that show in which heart area I’m currently located … I cannot put here some ZIP files so I cannot give you my proof of concept but if someone wants it I can give it for free … if this allow some more people to raise that having a bigger number app which has really giant font to SUUNTO … then I give it without any royalties

@manno02 I’m not using the vertical 2 but this issues seem to happen across several devices. I stopped using the chest strap until this is solved because the OHR works fine on the Suunto Run.

@SamuelP I once had a problem installing watch faces, so I reset the settings. Now I’ve decided not to wait for the watch update after all, but to reset the settings instead. Of course, it’s a shame that I have to set everything up again, download maps, and wait for the HRV and ZoneSense ranges to be calculated. I’m curious to see how Suunto will resolve this issue—will the new software version help, or is the problem somewhere else entirely, meaning I’ll have to reset the settings anyway?

@elbee hm, at least in my Vertical 2, the battery mode is not remembered. I set it to Endurance for an activity, but the next time I start this same sport mode, it starts over with Performance. @george-katsanos: Are your walks and runs so long, that the 50/60h of recording time in performance mode are not enough?

@Stefan-T. I was experiencing this after I first got the watch. I did a soft reset. In subsequent uses, 10% of daily usage Exercise, navigation off. Wake from wrist on AOD off. Screen brightness medium. Notifications on (I get a lot of notifications during the day) 24/7 wrist heart rate monitoring on I sync 3 times a day. I update the altimeter from GPS twice a day (just a habit ) Blood oxygen on. Alarm on every morning at 7 AM. Sleep tracking on. Sunrise and sunset alarms on. Media controls on when I listen to music through headphones. Sometimes I use the flashlight (for about 10 seconds. For advertising ) Things that come to mind. (English is not my first language. I use Google Translate sometimes, so apologies for any translation mistakes.)

@Łukasz-Szmigiel I loaded it up and was able to start an activity. However when I hit the lap button Constantin disappeared the first time I tried. On the second attempt I was able to keep it on the screen. Looks like it might be fixed.

I’ve also added a new branch in the ESP32 repo: https://github.com/SellA/BoschEBikeESP32/tree/feature/multi-mode Besides the standard bridge mode, it now supports exposing standard BLE sensor profiles as well: Power + Cadence Speed + Cadence Power only These modes don’t provide the full Bosch telemetry, but they work without the companion SuuntoPlus app and integrate natively with Suunto’s internal metrics and training features. For example, power data is correctly used for Suunto power zones, training load calculations, and related analytics. I also updated the integrated WiFi access point UI, where all bridge settings can now be configured directly from the browser: [image: 1779313377850-241b5f60-a758-476f-9131-c1158af2009e-image.png] There is now also a simulation mode that allows testing the connection with Suunto watches and bike computers without needing to connect to the actual eBike. Useful for validating the setup or experimenting with different configurations without having the bike nearby.

@TyreseJ4 two comments: battery life is not an online hype, but one of the key specs of a sport watch. my S9B Ambassador is slow and the battery not in anyway living up to the one in Vertical 2 I would sell it, if it was not the Ambassador version and thus some kind of collectable…

@yassine-besbes If I remember correctly, the sensor indeed needs to be deleted from the watch and paired again. This came with the change in sensor management. Now I see that you have already tried to re-pair it. Have you deleted it before this? And then have you enabled the sensor in the exercise settings under “Sensor Data”?

The reason this happens is because we can avoid unrelevant / bot users spamming the votes. If you post (which you are allowed) you get a couple of votes and then you join the game. Imagine if one would upvote on silly features and be a bot

@olaf-gottschalk has gone silent , update us if the work around helped you?

@MirkoP get used to it

@herlas I did the update yesterday and after that an Indoor-Ride with Rouvy. Unfortunately I can’t see any “Zone-Date” in the Hammerhead-Dashboard nor in the fit-file. I did not check the data on the Karoo directly after the ride. Maybe it was showing something there.

@Rubén-0 I don’t get that alert on my Suunto Run using Android.
