Hence the phrase… All the gear, no idea

@Webby-Skymaster BTW, I have a similar sensation since I bought the Vertical 2 after all the navigation marketing because of the Q1. They did a nice job but there are several issues and bugs, and while there are nice things, navigation is not that good as advertised (in my opinion). I opened a thread with several things. There’s also a very nice one about the issues of the Climb Guidance 3.0

@Henrik-Nilsson they gave me a predefined answer with the usual stuff… It’s strange how a bug of this magnitude does makes them more proactive to solve it.

Today I did another test with a different round-trip track. Editing those points of the track in Komoot does not seem to make any effect. The offset is always there. After a while, I went out of the route like 1km and then I returned to the route again and started running back in the route. The autoreverse did not work until a very long time. I started receiving notifications but after skipping many indications. Another little thing: The text when out of the route is extremely small and completely unreadable. This needs a little fix (that icon is just an invented one as an example, and colors and everything should be according to the layout) [image: 1777413648823-out_of_the_route.png]

A second gen of the Core series is a very good news. I find the Core Alpha Stealth very appealing and been thinking about buying it but now I think I might wait for the Core 2. https://the5krunner.com/2026/04/29/suunto-core-2-fcc-filing/#comments

@snow This is mainly an indication there was no significant change in airpressure during your recording. My experience with race s accuracy: The gps is good enough. But so was the one on my ambit 3 sport 15 years ago. Optical heart during activities isn’t very good. But neither was any of my previous watches with an optical sensor. Optical heart during rest of the day. It’s fine. And so were all my previous watches. Sleeptracking. Probably rubbish. But I just listen to my body and can recognize when I wake up and feeling refreshed or still tired and act accordingly. Training load/recovery stats? Meh. Same as sleeptracking. Number of annoyances. Way less than my previous watch. (These are my experiences. Yours may differ)

You guys that sent your watch back and got a replacement or offer of 20% off etc consider yourself very lucky. I sent my watch to the suunto repair in September last year cost me $50 was told there is nothing wrong with the battery and sent back to me. Battery continues to drain at 30% a day. Disgraceful service

@pavel.samokha are you aware of the possibility to Is to track total dive count, including dives done before owning the device? In some country this is needed to access to advanced diving classes

I just bought a Race 2 and went for my first pool swim this morning. I had the same issue. Swam 2,150 yards, which were recorded correctly and displayed on my watch. After I saved, the watch changed it to 2,069 yards. If I go into the app and count all the intervals, they total 2,150 yards, but the “total” is still shown as 2,069. Same 3.75% “discount.” Not a great start for a $600 watch.

I’ve repeated several times this morning - bringing my watch close to the magnetic cover of my iPad. It is VERY sensitive and resets the compass very readily as duffman has worked out! With me working at my desk, it seems to take between 30 and 60 mins to ‘naturally’ recalibrate the compass and give the phantom vibration alert.

@pavel.samokha Thank you for the explanation… I didn’t see that update so apologies!

@Nandodiver Thanks! I voted!

Going to post it here also to see if Suunto makes this issue a priority to them. I saved today’s run to report tomorrow. 2 issues happened. Max heart rate much higher than registered on the HR chart and in the end I did a pause and the connection to the Suunto Chest Straps was lost when I restarted a few seconds later. The maximum HR registered by the chest strap was 154bpm but somehow on the Max HR in the intervals summary many values of 170bpm (these are wrong) appears. Also it can be seen that the HR chart doesn’t end. It was the pause. Unfortunately Suunto seems unable to solve this issue that affects all watches and makes all data contaminated by wrong measures or lack of them. The data sent to other plataforms like Strava or Intervals.icu is correct except for the disconnection in the end. [image: 1777409959845-1000098278.png] [image: 1777409959990-1000098277.png]

@peakymatt said in Smart wake up alarm: The standard watch alarm is pretty harsh, it’d be great to have alternatives, including one that slowly ramps up sound and vibration. I agree, suggest something similar few weeks ago. An alarm that is triggered ahead during a light sleep phase would be even better

@elbee got that answer to… Did the reset just to be sure… Got disconnections on the training immediately after…

@2b2bff no, 11 different files that I imported from alltrails.

A similar issue has been reported on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Suunto/s/ON5V0wTTNr with more that one user saying they had this issue.

This is my favorite watchface, but there are some improvements possible. I don’t like the blue circle either. You could argue the blue circle is the progress bar. That might make sense for the battery complication but not for the weather complication I use. (And I don’t like the looks of the blue circle ) Also, why are the upper and lower positions so limited in the complications you can choose? I like to see the date/battery on top, number of messages, weather and if there is an alarm set. Unfortunately, this isn’t possible. They could have made a better weather complication for the bottom with a prediction for the next couple of hours that fits in the bottom position. (Of course I realize this is a special me request and Suunto cannot implement every “I like it this way” requests)

@Francesco-Pagano Grear color match Even though I’m more of a nylon strap guy, I find Race 1 straps great. Also, Vertical 2 straps are worth checking out.
