Suunto Race S general discussion

EzioAuditore

How cool is the pause screen. Yey I am now patiently waiting for the FW on both my SV and Race. Oh and when the multi BT sensors are added with some AI coach guidances that generates trainings for you… it will be top notch.
Very nice and good job Suunto devs/testers/designers and all.

Hello & thanks for your revelations.

Per DCR: “Increased map zoom level up to 20km (from 2KM)”

Do we get contour lines above 200m zoom?

isazi

@EzioAuditore pause screen is very nice, there is quite some work going on the interface to make it snappier and more user friendly.

isazi

@Fenr1r unfortunately, at this point what I see is that there is 20km zoom but contour lines are still limited. I hope this will also improve.

EzioAuditore

@isazi I can imagine. One question if you are allowed to answer since it is more FW related. The climb notification is attached to specific sport profiles (hike, mtb, trail run) or you can enable it?

isazi

@EzioAuditore as far as I remember, climbing works with every sport if you are following a route. There is no on watch routable maps, so you need to follow a route.

@isazi

Darn. Thank you for checking.

Awesome job, Suunto! It’s a really superb product; they nailed it!

Suunto Climb Guidance looks good, I hope to see it soon in the firmware update so I can test it in the next Skymarathon

isazi

@Fenr1r but I know that this is something that people at Suunto know about, and will implement if the watch (memory and resources) allows it.

krakra

Anyone have experience with gorilla glass? How much worse is compared to sapphire?

isazi

@krakra I am not commenting about the Race S in particular, but I managed to scratch all non sapphire watches I owned (both from Garmin and Suunto). So, if I bought the Race S, I would also buy a screen protector. But it is highly personal (my girlfriend does not scratch her watches).

taziden

I see contradictory info about the glass material. Is it Gorilla Glass (Ray’s review) or Saphire Crystal (Suunto’s website)?

Patrick Rx

@taziden on the website it now also says gorillaglass

Tieutieu

@taziden on suunto’s website, it’s also gorilla glass in specs.

isazi

@taziden there was a mistake on the website.

Tieutieu

List of improvements is great !!
Turn by turn improvements; climb guidance (first steps but seems already very promissing) !

@isazi any improvements to come in native structured workouts (rep counter/Bip to next step ?)

Not that I am aware of in this firmware update.

@isazi not the 9PP? Just from Ray’s review:

isazi

@The_77 yeah sorry, I always forget the S9PP. S9PP gets the same software as Race, Vertical, and Race S (so many watches to remember now).

The_77

@isazi yeah no trouble, grateful anything not hardware related is kept for us too any idea about the carousel issue I brought up a few weeks back, or the bug with using touchscreen when it wasn’t enabled in activity?
