@LGoSo said in A BIG BIG BIG THANKS and APLAUSE to SUUNTO Team both watch and IT designer ...: Digits after the decimal point have a meaning. 43 and 43.0 are not the same or better should not be the same: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures Not it this case. Battery meter resolution is 1%, with zero decimal places. So displaying this value with one, two, or whatever decimal places is complete waste of space and visual clutter.

@Mff73 always nice when someone else has done the work! Thanks, I didn’t know about that post, or Sonny’s work.

@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.

Have to say, what you don’t know you cannot miss. But last year, in a very dark hotelroom, the screenflashlight of my race s was sufficient for my wife to find something on the table while I could stay in bed. So, for now, I’m in “what’s all the fuss about” mode. The digital crown of my race s is complex. Just using it to scroll up or down through menus or items is hideous. The 5 button layout of my previous garmin was better, but with touchscreen I don’t use the buttons very often. But to zoom in and out in a map it’s great. Again with a but. I was used to zoom on the garmin and it was horrible. Complex and buggy as hell. So is the crown just better that worst case garmin or would a 5 button Suunto implementation beat the digital crown? Might. perhaps. Not unlikely. Have to say, the race s provides the features I want in the smallest possible case, so the vertical 2 wouldn’t be competition for my race s (for me). So 5 buttons or a digital crown wasn’t a consideration. Have to say, 5 buttons shouts a bit more outdoorsy and a digital crown a bit more watch like.

@claudio_101 The inaccuracy and inconsistency of the built-in heart rate sensor in the Race has been discussed here before. Suunto must be aware of this since they added a second sensor to the Race S, and people who reviewed both the original Race and the Race S said the S performs significantly better. Is that worth buying another watch? Not for me - even though I’m disappointed with the Race built-in heart rate sensor, I like the watch in every other way and consider it worth keeping. If I want accurate heart rate I wear a chest strap. But that’s a personal decision.

@aiv4r Thank you! I’m now looking for AirBnB accommodation for the UTA 22 next year I love this watch but I’m kicking myself for not trying on the Race 2 and the updated bands at the Suunto stand…

The models of garmin that are testen in a scientific way (not by some sport gadget blogger) shows that hrv isn’t that accurate on those models. (See https://the5krunner.com/2026/05/05/forerunner-265-hrv-study/ , links to sources on that page) I have no reason to believe other models or other brands are more accurate.

Hi everyone, I think my problem was that I had configured the screens and synced them, but when I tried the mode without GPS, it wouldn’t start the custom views, and I only had a few bits of information. Yesterday, while sorting through my data, I got my custom displays. However, now in the Suunto app view, I have no details at all… just an error message… and the Strava sync, TrainingPeaks, tells me I only ran 6km instead of 10… Ugh… you chase one problem and another pops up. But so my original problem is solved… or at least it seems so. Thanks everyone.

@Manuel-Extreme I agree that V1 still is the best watch suunto has built in recent years. what distinguishes phones from watches is, that watches do not need security updates. V1 works perfectly well with the last release. of course we see new features on V2 and R2 that would be nice to have. if I hadto decide today for a new suunto I would still go for V1.

@2b2bff Super mega thanks !!!

@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.)

@jshaevitz You want to help me add it to QS (quantified-self.io) ?

I wanted to know if it was a normal behavior of the watch because on my side it is a problem because it turns on almost all the time the watch and so the autonomy is not there

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

suunto run + suunto spark = 5KM superb!

@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.

Thanks @egika for your reply. I found another thread here where I see that the same problem already existed with the first Race (!) @Egika said in swimrun mode: @microniko Correct, the S+ app cannot change sport modes. […] This S+ is kind of a legacy app. It’s a bit confusing because the app’s description clearly states that it can detect transitions. The swimrun sport app also creates laps from each run and swim section (…) You can now define your own Swimrun sport mode. Please go to sport mode customization and select to create a Mulstisport activity -> Swimrun. […] So I tried creating a multisport mode called swimrun. I chose the automatic transition mode. I hope it works. However, I didn’t quite understand what the repeat option is for (repeat the sport modes in sequence). I’ll let you know how it goes after my next run, as soon as the weather permits .

@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?
