What’s the difference between Running Track and Track Running?

Does anyone know the answer to this? Is the new Track Running sport mode like the modes on Coros and Garmin, where you can input the lane you’re in and it’ll record each lap really accurately?

This is very useful for track sessions.

Maybe

@sky-runner Also the arrow for the direction should be a little bit larger. I really like the fact, that it’s not longer full screen, but the current style is too small for my eyes. It’s really hard to see. Especially, if it appears a second before you have to turn.

Yes, fully agree. Most of the time I can’t tell what the next turn is supposed to be even if I manage to briefly see it.

Has there been any official response from the Suunto team with regards to the new navigation guidance? In my opinion, this change has been rushed in without a proper UX research and the overall user experience has become worse, and this is quite a bit less usable than it is used to be. Is there a plan to revisit this again? Please let us know!

Should we do a poll about the preferred navigation guidance?

@sky-runner as far as I know, there are more improvements to navigation planned.

Great to know that!

Today I swam 1250m and the Race S tracked the total distance correctly (without push any buttons).
I’ll see next time, but for now I’m happy with the 2.40.38 fw.
Bye.

I have to say that my Vertical completely stopped discharging after the update. That’s power! Super job Suunto. The only change I made was to delete all the watch faces and keep only about 2 in the watch, but I guess that doesn’t affect it.

@Mff73
I guess that’s a no then
I have a refurbished race s that I was looking forward to getting back and wearing (FWIW, the service from Suunto was absolutely brilliant). But I’m now used to using a Garmin with track mode, and it’s so, so useful.
Track mode, multiple HRM connections and an ohr that told me my actual hr during sleep rather than double are the 3 things I crave for in a Suunto.
One day. Until then, I’ll stay conflicted

Maybe you guess wrongly

@Mff73 defo a no https://forum.suunto.com/post/164327

[matthinsh]

@Mff73 this is the strangest response ever. Thanks so much 🫠

[matthinsh]

@The_77 thank you! Sorry to have missed the previous post.

So now we have two next to useless track modes on the watch. I can see how Suunto have made it to 100 sports 🤭

@Александр-Даниленко I have exactly the same sincde Friday 4 April. No more sleep tracking, resources or HRV… All day HR is ok.

[Ars Vitae]

@Artus-Diver You’re right that the update did not resolve a problem. But to be fair the results have improved a bit. The pool’s lengths are now counted better. I’ve been following this problem for two years now, and I admit it’s getting better but still, if you do a strange move in the water the watch could be wrong in counting. Also keep in mind that this particular update was not intended to improve style recognition. Maybe it’ll come with the next updates, I hope so…

help !!!
I couldn’t find it so I’m asking
Vertical - – After the last update I’m trying to change the battery setting - I set it to performance but it always goes back to custom
eny help hear
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Danny-poleg go to custom battery settings and recreate the settings identical to performance mode and save as custom. Next time it’ll default to performance.

[Danny poleg]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel First of all thanks -
I just tried without actually going out for a workout outside - I finish a workout but it still goes back to custom but I did notice that in performance mode the touchscreen in map mode works
What am I doing wrong

[A Former User]

@Danny-poleg Are you using a custom sport mode?

[Danny poleg]

@Ghost No - I will point out that this is a problem for me and a friend
My friend and I are trying this on “Running Basic”

[A Former User]

@Danny-poleg Just tried it on my Vertical. If I use the Running Basic mode, it always switches back to “Performance” every time.
