@elbee Thanks for your input but I wasn’t buying it so did some further testing. Fired up my old 9Peak & connected the HR sensor to that, exactly the same outcome with constant connect/disconnect so it’s the sensor that’s faulty rather than my Race. I’ve sent it back to Suunto via online service request & as it’s only 8 months old I’m hoping for a warranty exchange

@Squirrel don’t know. This is iOS beta 3.13

@ccrhenrik True, thats a negative aspect. And if Buhlmann with 40/85 is similar in stops it also should reduce bubble formation like RGBM. Good to have the choice

@MikeC30 When I first tested this widget – quite far from the coast – it only showed the country name. But when I was near the beach and checked how it worked in practice, it showed more specific local locations instead.

The Reddit leaks (June-July) The anonymous rumors on Reddit are not far off. Although June and July are wrapping up without an official hardware announcement, the brand has been entirely focused on the Q2 firmware launch. r/Suunto mod here. There are no leaks about a Race 2S. Only a handful of posts asking about it, and a few more comments discussing probabilities, including one comment about someone who chatted with a Suunto salesman. No leaks. There was a Core 2 leak that came through the moderation log a few days before the Core 2 officially landed. It was hosted on Google Drive, but Reddit filtered the post and suspended the account before it could reach the sub.

@isazi it’s definitely after going into “deep sleep”

@Egika it was both “2” just 5 minutes ago. So already fixed

@Ze-Stuart yes I have used elite HRV for some time and then stopped. Unfortunately currently that’s how my nights looks like and the watch does not recognize those as sleeps. Hence why enabling HRV during long naps could be beneficial. – ms Avg. sleep HRV 4 h 57 min 23:24 - 01:18 Nap 1 h 54 min 03:13 - 04:40 Nap 1 h 27 min 05:36 - 06:34 Nap 58 min 07:44 - 08:22 Nap 38 min

Tiny fonts again - poor.

allrighty then… back in business #fingerscrossed Trying to factory-reset the watch while battery left, did not work. It always crashed and restarted before I got the chance to cycle through the menu to that option, also button-press did not work. Let it drain power. charger (USB-C) was connected to a docking-station, placed watch onto charger… charging icon appeared, followed with the bootup of the watch… did not follow it all the way through, but ‘green firmware restore’ screen were shown when battery was sufficient (3% ?)… let it lie for a bit and started with black screen… as already noted in earlier post, the watchface is non-existent, black screen… pressing the crown (middle button), my ‘Sun-up / Sun-down’ secondary screen is shown… pressing ‘back / lower button’ returns to the non-existing watchface screen… turning the crown to ControlPanel > Settings > General > Reset settings , it stated it needed 40% battery before doing so… Not sure how come, but leaving it on the charger kept the menu’s scrollable, and the watch did not crash ! Waited till 40% battery and did ‘Reset settings’ … Watch displayed that it would turn off, and crown-button press needed to be used to boot-up again… it did not… After these messages, it reboot and started restoring the firmware screen once again… uhoh… but… it was one continuous cycle where the green progressbar slowely filled and when 100% full, the watch booted and all initial questions on eg. age, length, metrics were presented… Opened Suunto App and reconnected the watch… after removing the old device on my iphone, otherwise it will not pair ! (bluetooth menu, ‘Forget this device’) So now I have a fresh device that is working as expected (for all I can discover for now)… Only nuisance… need to recreate all my custom workouts Will take it for a 'move ’ this evening and see if it holds up. Cheers @dimitrios-kanellopoulos , if anything is unclear, feel free to follow-up.

@Squirrel I can only tell what I observe. The gnss data is synced right when your watch is connected to the suunto app on the phone. At least, at some point the sync process is saying it is syncing gps data.

@isazi I only have a recent (as in today) reaction from Suunto stating they haven’t got a clue what causes the problem, let alone how to fix it. But please do report it, with logs, when it happens again. That would be very helpful.

@MartinPadiPro Can you check the tank pressure in the app? Should be available as an overlay. It would be interesting if the pressure is reported wrong or the watch just went nuts

@gkaempfer For me the same issue. Wahoo Bolt 2.

I tried all that. Disable: WiFi & Discover. Always-on Display: Off … I even try try Airplane mode and still is drain battery

@boxwex Also you need to wait 10 minutes to start seeing it working as suggested by snow

@Ze-Stuart I have the same feeling, but have no device to test it.

@Wilson75 so this is on purpose, the Nexus watch face does not work with the firmware version Vertical 1 is using.

@Nico78 There’s no “classic” bluetooth. Suuunto watches (and most wearable devices) use low power edition of bluetooth (btle) on all suunto i believe it could be 5.x edition minor number doesn’t make sense. it works on the same band 2.4 GHz. but significantly lower transmition power ±0.1 W as far i remember depends on exact antena and case.
