The heart rate broadcasting limitation is probably the biggest miss for me. I used to sync my HR data with my treadmill app using my old watch, and not being able to do that anymore is kind of a dealbreaker for indoor training.

I totally agree. I used to use my previous smartwatch with Fitshow and it was extremely useful to be able to see my heart rate directly on my phone display without having to check my watch every time… let’s hope for a future update.
Returning instead to the problem I had previously posed (the one related to the issue of disabling the battery optimization of my pixel), Suunto support responded to me, both giving me some suggestions (which, unfortunately, were of no use) and asking me, lastly, for a short video where you can see how the system automatically restores the “allow background use” function from “without limitations” to “optimized”. I have not received any more response on this matter. We’ll see.
Instead, I would like to ask for information to understand if it happens to you too. I find a discrepancy between the values of the “recovery” item displayed on the app and on the watch. For example, this morning the watch shows me a good 89%, while the app gives me just 51%… the strange thing is that the other items, such as HRV, are identical

Ok

I am seeing the same issue on my Pixel 9A, the battery optimization toggle keeps getting flipped.
My suspicion is that the Suunto apple is toggling it incorrectly. I think it has control to do is, as I remember giving it the permission.

I reported this issue to Suunto support, and after a couple of replies (and no resolution), they stopped responding.
I’ll take this opportunity to make a couple of observations (already mentioned in another thread): the GPS tracking is truly terrible, often completely off-track, and even with improbable cuts. Six months after purchasing it, they still haven’t managed to fix this bug, but they haven’t even managed to make other watch faces available. Another small thing they could (should) have fixed is the ability to lower the minimum screen timeout to 5 seconds instead of 10… what’s the point of having the display on for ten seconds after checking the time? So, do I regret the purchase? Quite a bit. If I had to do it again, I’d definitely get the Garmin 165.

Nothing terrible so far, quite the contrary…

believe me, before I had a “normal” Huawei Fit 3 and the comparison is simply merciless

On my side, I keep seeing good results even in difficult conditions. A few days ago, my son ran with me and we both recorded almost identical tracks (slightly better on his V2 though). On the other hand, if the problem were severe, I think we would be reading several complaints about it.

take a look at this post: for me this is not acceptable for a €250 sports watch (even if it is an entry level one): I repeat, my old Amazfit Neo is clearly superior in terms of GPS tracking quality
