There are contradictory information online, are we 100% sure of this? The only one I can enable maps in a custom battery mode is the vertical. Thank you for clarifying that. Do you also confirm that if we start an activity with a custom battery mode and set the GPS accuracy to OK, we can expect the battery life of the Ultra mode as long we don’t keep the map (or the ETA data fields) on the screen all the time? I think if you run maps at all it will impact battery life in Ultra mode. If you save the mode for a specific custom sport profile the battery estimate shown on the watch should be reasonable. I assume you need battery to last 280h?? I used my V1Solar for a fast pack trip in August that was 4d with sleep tracking, OHR, etc enabled and about 12h of GPS per day. My battery estimates in Performance mode ranged from 62h to 90h. I did not charge the watch and had 38% left by the end of the trip. I use Performance unless I need the extra battery and then would use Endurance. Unlikely for me I would need 280h of continuous tracking.

@Jaxxdu Yeah, I didn’t have the issue for quite a while, and it doesn’t happen very often for me — but it’s still a bit annoying. Looking back, it almost feels like it tends to show up once after a firmware update. Normally I don’t restart my watch at all, and it runs fine for months. Today the sensors came back to life simply by toggling the energy-saving mode on and off. When I compare it to other devices that need frequent reboots to behave properly, the watch is actually quite robust. On the other hand, maybe the issue pops up more often because of restarts — who knows. Not sure how often it happens for others, but it seems to affect the Race S as well.

@Brad_Olwin Yes I do see if on the HR screen during the run but after the run is completed the App does not display ZoneSense only HR trace [image: 1764259016059-a65e3bb5-ecba-495c-8b59-04c3cd6d819c-image.png] [image: 1764259048277-88f0780f-2d9b-415e-9ca2-61bc0b1744a4-image.png]

@dani_degi wenn es nur darum geht, in welcher Zone du dich befindest, kannst du das mittlerweile auch in den Traininsoptionen als Aktivitätszonen wählen. Damit sparst du dir die Suunto Plus app, wo du ja nur zwei aktiv haben kannst. Was “deine Zonen” angeht, ist der ganze Hintergrund zu ZoneSense ja, dass diese eben nicht statisch sind, sondern je nach Tagesform nach oben oder unten verschieben. Ein Easy run ist nach mehreren Stunden eben nicht mehr an derselben Herzfrequenz easy als einfaches Beispiel…

![alt text](image url[image: 1763766353905-1000011223.png] In Android it is useless just now unless you press edit. If it is fixed in the next update that will be most appreciated.

@Jervin-Reyes I think the Suunto Run was already great when I bought it this summer, but I am pleasantly surprised with the number of updates and the contents of these updates (especially the last one). I’m excited to see what future updates might bring (Vertical2/Race2 watch faces I hope), but actually hope they will update the app with a dark mode and improve the sleep tracking scoring.

@peegee I have no issues with my R2 storing routes. From your original post are you losing routes from the app or the watch? I too am on the latest OS. Too see routes on the watch in the app you realize that you need to select a drop down menu to see routes on the watch. Screenshot below. [image: 1764183992553-img_0188.jpeg]

now I see. Reported it.

@dark_chocolate let me google it for you you https://www.suunto.com/Support/faq-articles/suunto-app/how-do-i-customize-sport-modes-with-suunto-app/

Mapping is available on the Garmin x50i. Not looking for GPS underwater, just having the topographic map to look at would be extremely helpful when shore diving. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/985238/

@BrunoH asked about it

Works great - only watch vibrates on notification/call.

@brechtvb Damn, too bad for us. Sorry for the duplicate and thank you for your reply.

That would be good to have also with cycling with power meter.

@Alex-Jurkiewicz thank you for your reply. I always wear the watch the same way. Not too tight and not too loose. I am comparing with Whoop 5.0 and Garmin 955 which I used for the last 3 years. I am not saying that these devices are perfect, but it is impossible to have a variation of 20 beats in minimum HR from Tuesday to Friday. Especially the reading of 32 beats is 100% wrong.

@duffman19 yes this is a bit problematic, the fact that screen become active and we can’t disable touch make alarm less reliable. I wake up quite easily and one vibration or 2 is enough but it already happen 2 time that I disable the alarm with the screen touch without wanted to. My arm just touch the screen and alarm is gone A global touch disable except on map would be my dream option, or at least an option to disable touch globally with a shortcut like the button lock

@sky-runner said in Suunto Athletics 7 loop strap: @v.sacre This looks like a common problem. I have the same strap, and the metallic part also detached after just a few weeks of use. I put it back and squeezed it with pliers, and so far, many weeks later, it stays attached. But I should say that overall I am disappointed with this strap and will not buy another one. The main problem is that it quickly stretched out and lost some of original elasticity. The longer strap is now borderline too long for me, but the short strap is too short. Next time I’ll buy Garmin Ultrafit strap which is higher quality and more comfortable. I also used Abanen hook and loop strap from Amazon with Race and still use with Race S. Even inexpensive Abanen strap is higher quality, in my opinion, than this Suunto strap. Longer strap is too long for me, I mean this metal part is too close to watch case. Short is too short like You said. I chooses to use short and over time it’s scratched out and its longer over time of use. But I agree. A bit expensive for this type of strap. I would buy 3, maybe 4 of them for same price without logo.
