@Mads-Hintz-Madsen That’s good to know. However the true rMSSD value in milliseconds is still shown in the app. That’s the big difference with what sport watches are doing. Elite HRV is fully transparent as to the data it records.

For the record, I think the Race 2 and Vertical 2 faces are very good, I’d like to see more development in terms of options for those two. For example being able to configure the Race 2 graph to show us sleep over time, or HRV, or CTL, or cycle through all three if you tap on it. The same with the Vertical 2, make the bottom complication configurable too! Oh and larger complication fonts

correct. We had a similar issue with downhill MTB. I am not sure if it is the same underlying issue. There will be a Q4 FW release - just not sure if it arrives in December or early January because of the holidays.

@Sportsfreund sure. I also did not know what that was until I googled it. Anyway, this advice has been given already (I am not the TO). Pretty much every sport mode can be used and customized.

After the replacement of my V2 by support, I finally have a true flagship that has nothing to envy to more prestigious models and brands that, in the same segment, cost twice as much. The Suunto Vertical 2 with AMOLED display has significantly better battery life than the Fenix 51mm, with sport and health metrics that are fully comparable. For the past month I have been wearing the Fenix 51mm AMOLED, Suunto Vertical 2, and Whoop 5 at the same time, and sleep data from Suunto and Garmin are often overlapping. When Garmin’s sleep data are completely different from Whoop’s, Whoop matches the Vertical’s data. Maps deserve a special mention. On the Suunto V2 they are fast, smooth, lag-free, and very easy to read. It is truly a very solid and reliable tool. If your sensors are not working or the watch freezes, send it to support and get it replaced. You were probably just unlucky. Now I’m just waiting for Suunto developers to export health data to TrainingPeaks, and I’ll leave Garmin for good!

For those interested in seeing that the solar collector on your Vertical Solar is working when you are out and about, I’ve created a list of watch faces that can display Solar icons. I’ve looked through most of the watch faces from the Suunto Plus Store. What I’ve found is that the watch faces on the following list have the capability of displaying a Solar complication on the face. These complications are always those that are of the larger round variety of complication and not the smaller rectangular style. Of these, only the Vertical can show a graph of the sunlight harvested. Christmas wonder Color Explosion Data Outdoor Vintage Vertical Adrenaline Modern Analog Weekly Trainer Lion’s New Year Leap

Okay, it was in the morning. Now I connected the Vertical to use it for cycling. Suunto app decided to show the standard watch face during the first sync. Suunto, I accept the challenge!

@raven My power meter is broadcasting CSCS and CPS. In older firmwares I could choose foot pod (CSCS) or power pod (CPS). Now Suunto does the choice and connects CSCS only. No possibility to connect CPS. That is the problem.

@GiPFELKiND said in Suddenly while bike riding Connection HR Belt broken: But why should the hr Monitor signal get lost? I have no idea. I was just responding to @2b2bff’s comment about the HR graph. I will say that I have also been experiencing external HR drops on both the 9PP and V1 running the latest firmware. But usually it just drops for a few seconds at most, and never completely loses connection like it seems yours did. I’ve also been wearing an original 9P running super old firmware (2.26.8) and have not experienced any external sensor drops on it. So I’d guess it’s firmware related and hope that it gets fixed with the Q4 update.

@Squirrel should be solved and not happen anymore

@pavel.samokha STEPS motor system provides power assist and the Di2 technology handles the gear changes.

@2b2bff Only have my race s for about a year, so I guess this was due

@Cyclepunk Ist bei mir auch so. Komme aus 180 km südlich. Ossi.

Thanks for the replies. I did two things - and I am not sure what solved it - I deleted the cache of my Suunto app (in case there were issues from my previous dive-computer), but I also tried to download the maps while the computer was connected to the charger - so not sure what was the solution… At least it works… which I guess is the important thing…

@bulldogg Maybe it is just iOS app issue and not watch nor your cloud data. If you don’t have access to any android app to check, maybe you can access Sportstracker on the Web, login with your Suunto account and check if your activity recorded laps are uploaded to cloud (sports-tracker.com and Suunto are sharing same database) [image: 1766032164026-screenshot_20251218_052558_chrome.jpg]

@gkaempfer My numbers were with navigation and Bluetooth, but without AOD. I think AOD would have a greater impact.

@fritzbt2013 The Stryd pod is connected as both footpod and a power pod upon pairing, with auto-calibration option off and speed/distance coming to the watch from Stryd every time it is connected. This is the behavior I consistently observed on recent firmware post big Bluetooth change. You can pick a course which distance you know and confirm that. Or use Strava/Runalyze distance correction from GPS. Alternatively, you can run the same course twice, once with Stryd paired and another without. I did all that as well as compared it to other devices, including Suunto’s own pre-Bluetooth change. Distance definitely comes from Stryd, period. For people like myself, for whom Stryd distance isn’t quite right (mine comes about 2% short) this means I have to choose between training with power (that is, Stryd power that works indoors and has been the same across all devices for the past 8 years I’ve been using it) and getting correct pace and distance outdoors. Coupled with ghost Bluetooth devices you can’t delete, occasional beeping and battery drain, yeah… The picture isn’t pretty.

Not exactly topic but related… I don’t know if « uphill bug » has been corrected for ski resort native sport mode (it counts distances and elevations of lifts…what force to correct manually total distance and elevation to 0).
