'Mushy' back button

[olson917]

It sounds like a bad button. I got my Race S about the same time as you, both the top and bottom button have the same tactile feel.

@Bastienhere Just checked and mine is the same. Top exceptionally clicky, bottom not so much. But both are functional.

[Bastienhere]

@gerstlauer hmm i wonder if it’s a common thing. My bottom button is fully functional too, it just doesn’t feel as comfortable to press and I always have a slight fear it will fail soon.

@Bastienhere I had the same problem. I put the watch under running water and kept pushing the button for a while. Dried it with towel, shaking and blowing - problem solved.

@sracer i might give this a try if I feel brave

I have this preassumption that pressing the button under water entails a higher risk of water damage due to moving parts

[sracer]

@Bastienhere Race S is waterproof up to 50m. There is absolutely no restrictions to use the buttons under water.

[Bastienhere]

@sracer i know i know, it’s just not something I’m used to, just like dipping a waterproof phone in water

Top is clicky, back button not at all.

[Bastienhere]

@lessthanmore is yours made in finland or china? I wonder if there’s a difference

@Bastienhere I am not the TO, but my Race S is clicky on both buttons and Made in China

[Bastienhere]

@VoiGAS lucky it looks like some people are experiencing similar back button mushiness like me, kind of a shame in terms if quality control.

@Bastienhere Finland.
I’ll try the multiple click stuff under water on the weekend

@Bastienhere I bought the Titanium Version and it’s the same now after a few weeks.
Upper button is clickly, lower button not so much anymore.

[Bastienhere]

@lessthanmore interesting, So even the titanium version has the same ‘issue’! Definitely not ideal… I hope Suunto knows about this one.
