One thing that is not actual navigation but very much related: In yesterday’s Race I loaded the course and started navigation without TbT just to be able to see where the route would be just in case. As I run through the finish point, I got a full screen notification that I reached the end of the course and had to dismiss this notification to be able to actually stop my activity tracking. I think the upper button should have paused regardless…

@dreamer_ said in Minimal watchface (feedback): Ocean has seconds Right, that’s why I’ve been using it since I got the watch in May 2025. I need seconds. Weirdly enough, shortly after I installed it, the preview picture in the Watch face store lost the seconds. 🤨 I didn’t know whether the watch face was updated, removing the seconds, but if you still see them, that means that current version still has them. Maybe someone with inside info can inquire why the preview pic in S+ store does not show the seconds.

I can’t tell which is more accurate between Running Dynamic and Suunto Spark on the watch, so I’m not confident enough to speak about it.

Hi, To contribute to the thread, today I did a mountain bike ride with my Race 2 Titanium and a Garmin 530. The difference was only 40 meters: Race 2, 30.98km vs Garmin 530, 31.02km. Regards

@Highlands These are great! Thanks

@Stoke80 yes

@Egika Yes, different colours make no difference unfortunately

@thibault-b. Good job !!! I test the last version today. It seems perfect all information I need size … thanks !

In my case, with the Vertical 1 Titanium Solar, I’m confident the issues started with version 2.43.12 released in June 2025. I had been monitoring battery consumption, which increased from about 3% per day during normal use to around 7%. It’s not a dramatic spike, but it reduces battery life from roughly 21–22 days down to no more than 14–15 days. Wouldn’t it be enough to check what changed between version 2.40.44 and 2.43.12?

@suzzlo said in Downloading map takes a very long time: @muurain said in Downloading map takes a very long time: Suunto’s cloud service that throttles the downloads but… you can download maps for the mobile phone that are much faster… so… if we think, same server is delivering them… this should not be the problem… Anyway, I can live with it You’re right! I didn’t even realize that, even though I did download mobile maps too And yeah this does seem like an understandable constraint of small smart devices. I too am happy to have the convenience of WiFi downloads, even if they are pretty slow compared to bigger devices. My old Garmin Fenix maps downloaded way faster, but it was via USB cable and a PC. But given the analysis here, the original post does now sound like a WiFi issue or a bug. Maybe try downloading maps on some other place or WiFi…? If the download speed is considerably less than 1GB / hour (or ~2Mbps), it should work faster and there are not many broadbands this slow.

@maszop it’s still there in the last public version (6.8.13). Do you have another one?

@sky-runner right. Could reproduce. Reported it. Thx!

@Olaf-Gottschalk As I wrote in your original post from 4 months ago, there’s a workaround without stopping the activity. After disconnect, switch to Tour battery performance in activity menu (long press bottom button), then switch it back to Performance. This disables and reenables watch’s Bluetooth and power meter reconnects to watch.

@Egika this was exactly the bug I referred to in my post. Anyway my point is that there is a difference between fixing watch breaking busy and niggles, so it would be good to know what to expect…

@Manuel-Extreme There are 3 things Should the the watch always record data even if it can determine the data is incorrect? No Should suunto look into crashes? Yes Am I less concerned with loosing some heart rate data than you? Yes. My original reply is about the first point. But since it is an important point for you I will no longer capture your topic. (Btw, I was not able to reproduce your steps on my race 2, so it could be model specific)

@sartoric Ive had this happen to me on nearly every single hike/walk that I use the map. Too often for me to share coordinates every time. Considering its been nearly 3 years since this was first reported, what is the main issue?

@nseslija Same for me, by far the best sports/GPS watch I’ve ever owned - and I’ve owned plenty! Sure there’s been a few glitches and bugs but overall it’s one hell of a tool. It’s kept me on pace during my ultra’s and kept me safe and on track during many adventures in unknown territory I’ll have had it for 3 years next month, and the fact that over those 3 years it’s continually being worked on and improved is not lost on me. I’ve been part of this forum for years and this is just another nice extra… good job Suunto

@2b2bff Interesting, that’s good to know and I might give the Coros HRM a try whenever the Polar decides to pack up. With it on my upper forearm it doesn’t bother me at all, if I’m wearing long sleeves it just sits underneath whatever I’m wearing

@thanasis That’s my biggest dream. Back when there were no smartwatches on the market, Suunto made a smart computer, specifically for outdoor sports. Then they had to adapt to trends. Bluetooth came along, color screens, widgets, and now both everyday watches and outdoor sports watches were born.
