Vibration (for alarm) too strong
-
Hi folks,
For me, the vibration alarm of my Suunto Race S is way too strong. I wake up completely stressed out, because it’s very strong and also loud. Even my wife next to me wakes up, which completely negates the purpose of a vibration alarm…
I had the Garmin Fenix 5 Plus and the Polar Pacer Pro before and both manage to gently wake me up but keep everyone else asleep.
I read in this forum that people were complaining that the Suunto 9 vibration was too weak to wake them up… maybe Suunto overshot with with Race S?
What do you think about this?

@Jan-H.-0 for some the default is too weak, for others it is too strong. Plus there may be slight variations in individual devices.
While S9 vibration was sometimes criticized to be “rattling”, I have never seen this complaint about Race S.
Do you have a chance to compare with another model?
Otherwise I would contact support. -
For me the vibration is ok, but the noise it makes is a bit too much. It is not exactly ratteling but it is more like those cheap phones 5 and more years ago. I have the same problem that my wife wakes up from my alert sometimes…
My Garmins (yeah those again
) before had a different motor that was not that audible but equally noticable.
