@Ecki-D. I like both MiP and amoled. If Coros can make the Apex 4 with MiP in two sizes, why Suunto wouldn’t be able to do same and make MiP V2 in two sizes as well? I’d buy both sizes.

@Gunnar Thanks - that’s where I was expecting to see it but an app update has just landed and now it’s there.

@Efejota said in Offline Maps and Routing in Suunto App: Offline apparently requires that the watch has been paired (previously?) I just tried this since I was wondering the same thing (I have two phones that I switch between, one running old SA software and one with the new offline map option). So it will work, but the key is to remove the pairing from the watch only (Settings > Connectivity > Paired devices > MobileApp > Forget). This will keep the watch associated with the device you are moving away from and thus keep the offline maps as available option. However, if you remove the watch from the app by using the “Manage connection” option, offline maps disappear. I assume this will work for a tablet running SA as well.

@Brad_Olwin @aiv4r I completely agree with you.

@brave_dave No, fortunately I don’t experience continuous disconnection issues. It only happens in water due to the physical limitations of Bluetooth transmission. When the arm comes out of the water, the connection is restored automatically without any problems. At least with the Vertical 2. Which device are you using?

I don’t know what the battery is. I’ll check. But I was thinking of trying to replace the battery. This morning, during training, the watch lost connection with the heart rate monitor again. So the problem still exists. This takes approximately 30 to 45 seconds and then the connection is re-established.

@egika Yesterday I tried Race 2 with the new software and the behavior is the same regarding distances and paces as previous software: [image: 1775805385326-qnhvtpfrnu.png] Left: raw GPS distance showed (10.17km). Right: postprocessed final distance showed (10.01km). First one is the GPS data recorded distance (similar to the recorded by other devices and the “corrected distance” by Strava for example. Second one is the “filtered” distance saved in FIT file data and showed by the watch ((tipically the other watches would show 10.16km with the 10.17km raw distance). First one is always similar in all the devices. Second one only differs (shortened, 1%-1.5%) in Race 2. In every activity, both running, walking or riding the bike. So it seems Race 2 performs a different data processing than his other “brothers”.

@Tieutieu How is the battery life? The marketing info suggests two different amounts. One says 7.5 hours which wouldn’t be long enough 🫪 Thank you for the review. I’m tempted. Currently use aftershocks that I have had for around 5 years. I really like the fact you can hear what is around you.

@larrybbaker @egika @tuxbuster I’ve prepared a blind fix. unable to test it all, but, if you have time let me know if it works now. to test this build you need to enter to another tester group - https://testflight.apple.com/join/ZGZeRASB there’s also updated android build to verify if everything still works https://artifact.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/live-t/apk/btle/live-t.apk

Hi everyone. So, I did a test with two different types of external heart rate monitors: the usual Smart Band Heart Belt and a supposedly inferior brand called “Coospo.” It was disappointing. I even recorded an activity that didn’t require GPS (dancing) for the test… Using the Suunto strap, after a few moments… [image: 1775837202183-20260410_172654.jpg] [image: 1775837202242-20260410_172551.jpg] Now with an external one, Coospo brand… [image: 1775837258431-20260410_174315.jpg] In my case, it’s clear: my original headband, after being serviced and replaced (theoretically) with a new one, has stopped working again after 7 months. I’ve tried hardly washing it… only by hand. I’ll send it to the repair shop tomorrow, as it still has a year of warranty left. After that, I’ll sell it in case anyone wants to continue the crusade . I’m going back to the Polar H10…

@snow said in New firmware 2.53.42: You need to start the activity Ah! Yes… That works. This was incredibly convoluted… Thanks. Hope my bumbling around will help other users. Edit: Everybody is talking about the Menu only accessible from the Map screen itself (the 3 lines/hamburger icon). Edit 2: And it works even without any Route loaded. Great!

@Squirrel The update hasn’t improved the problem with wakefulness detection in sleep tracking either… I’m recording about 30-60 minutes more sleep time each day than I actually slept… it’s such a shame, it skews the resource and recovery statistics… why does Suunto always smooth out wakefulness with light sleep? Has anyone heard if they’ve fixed this problem?

I’ve been using a Polar H10 and Morpheus M7 with both my Race 2 and Vertical 1 for road and trail running and CrossFit and have had none of the issues mentioned here

@Horizontal_2 said in Batterie drain since the new Update: I’ve found something else! I did experience the drain as well. in 3 hours a drain of 3%. The Wireless Network and Discovery were on. That’s a battery killer as well Yep, turning these off definitely helps

@Sportsfreund said in Suunto and Concept 2 indoor rowing: Good work, guy. But really, there’s no need for a connection like this. The PM5 needs to be connected to a smartphone to plan and upload races. What we need is a connection from C2 to Suunto to actually use the load values ​​in CTL/ATL, etc. A connection from the C2 logbook to import into Suunto seems not within the scope of what is possible with a SuuntoPlus app, but rather, that ability would need to come from a collaboration of Concept2/Suunto themselves. If Suunto wishes to do that, then perhaps they can also talk to SmartRow so sessions from the SR logbook could also auto-upload to Suunto? http://www.smartrow.fit/ This setup would be for people not currently using the PM5 bluetooth connection to send data elsewhere like ErgData or EXR, etc. People on alternate rowers like the RP3 or the SmartRow system I use may one day benefit from the work here if it extends beyond the Concept2. I have two data connections from my power meter, so one can go to my SmartRow app and another could go to a connection like this. Perhaps eventually C2 will update the PM5 to allow dual bluetooth signals as many cycling power meters have.

I have the same. Both for repeating alarms ad for one time alarms. If you reboot the watch, the time is shown on the watch face, but after you scroll through widgets or so ething else it’s gone again. I reported it to Suunto. Have to say, I have less of a need to show it on my watchface. Before this update I had an alarm for workdays, but had to disable that on Thursday eve and remember to enable it again before Sunday eve. Now I can just set an alarm for Monday till Thursday.
