@brechtvb Thanks a lot for your reply! I really appreciate you sharing your experience and the Bosch eBike project. It looks like a great starting point for understanding how BLE communication works in Open SuuntoPlus. My goal is actually quite simple. I’d like to connect to a GoPro and display information such as: Recording status Battery level Remaining storage or recording time At least for the first version, I don’t even need camera control. I’ll definitely take a look at the project you shared. If I make any progress, I’ll post an update here so others can benefit as well. Thanks again!

@Greennorth I think he was referring to the picture of the watch in the app…

@isazi No, it only provides power. I can share some screenshots if you wish, it seems to me that there is some kind of dual device data acquisition bug, as I have seem similar cases in the forum.

@Mff73 Hi, thanks. I will give that a try, but I get the warning message that “All activities that have been synced will be removed from your phone” which concerns me slightly. Everything is on the Suunto cloud though and will be downloaded to the app when I login again?

@skobelev.np said: @tuxbuster hello! I have the same issue but in health see just workouts sync without any health Has it worked from the box for you? This is works fine for me: "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. " But currently I’m using my Garmin Fenix 8 more. It’s much easier and a no-brainer. I hope Suunto will fix this. If they do, I’ll come back to the V2 as my default watch.

@freeheeler I sold my Ambit 3 watch when I bought my Vertical 1. Now I use a Vertical 2, but I haven’t sold my Vertical 1. I wear it occasionally. Legendary watches

@isazi Thanks a lot for your feedback! I also hope this will be fixed in next firmware update

@nmiguelrf just for curiosity, what is usecase for this feature? You do hikes/runs across multiple timezones?

@leejohnmann said: Any suggestions on how to get it back on? To eliminate the possibility of bad contact, you could connect it “directly” if you are handy with wires. Below picture was posted as a joke in another thread, but in this case it would ensure connectivity. You could also monitor power consumption with USB power meter, if you have one, to see what’s going on, if anything. [image: 1783377395800-pxl_20260501_181051337.jpg] In any case, if the battery fails to accept charging current, the cell voltage might be below threshold level and only service center could reset it. Battery replacement might be the last resort option, if all else fails.

@Sunday …not in Race S so far

@Nico78 You mean you need a certain range for the watch-phone connection? This does depend on many factors. BT standard is only one of them. The Vertical and Race use 5.2, Vertical 2 uses 5.3 More important for the range is the antenna design though…

@franky23 you can tap to go to previous track. I set it as triple tap on the left earphone. What I would like is the option to use nodding to go to previous track, currently it only goes forward, and it’s very sensitive: I often turn my head back when I run on the street and this skips to the next song. I’m in general very happy with this product, even for work when I have back-to-back calls for hours and I don’t get tired of wearing them. What I find great, too, is how the sound remains clear in windy conditions.

@gkaempfer I have already opened a support ticket for this, but it would be great if you also do, that might draw more attraction on this issue…

Could you please provide the Suunto Race 2.39.20 (or late 2024) firmware OTA package? Thank you!

@sky-runner A couple of days ago I successfully used the Live Segments S+ guide on a trail running segment I have never run before (and got a KOM). Watch is Race 2 with the recent Q2 update - 2.56.18 and everything worked as expected. Last month, on the previous SW version, I had 2 unsuccessful attempts for different segments. For the first one the watch did not detect the start of the segment. For the second one it (wrongly) determined that I had went off course and stopped tracking the segment halfway through.

@BadCode-Crew at garmin edge the oposite happens right ?

@Lazar-Dimitrov there has been a test implementation some years ago for this. But it has been abandoned. Suunto has a product management, that is prioritizing all possible features. The developers just do, what is high on the list. It seems, that this one is lower priority than other features. Anyway, I wanted to say that it does not make sense to talk to the developers directly. You want to convince product management

@MartinPadiPro which flashlight(s) do you use. Has Suunto support asked to send over the logs from both?

@michael-schwarz da die Messung durch optisch durch Licht funktioniert, ist das Signal für die Vertical 2 nicht gut genug, um als valide zu gelten. Andere Hersteller haben evtl. andere Sensoren und andere Schwellen, was akzeptabel wäre. Und ja, das Problem haben andere auch. in English: the WHR does not work well on a tatooed arm. This is known.

@snow Yes. A known issue for all android users. Recommended bypass is to activate floating keyboard, that will allow you to push the keyboard to the top of the phone screen.
