@Speed-Man

I’ve encountered an issue where every time I turn off the device, the pace zones get reset. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Yes this is an ongoing issue going back for a while. Custom pace zones are always reset to 06’00, 05’30, 05’00, 04’30 /km after the watch is rebooted.
Not new to this firmware update and should be finally taken note of and looked at by the team.

I understand the hardware limitations of the V1. For me, that MIP display is exactly why I bought the watch for the mountains. It’s a tool. I haven’t used my Race S ever since.

I can live without the city names or pizza icons on the map. But I would like to get the actual navigation logic. Smart Off-Route detection and a proper Track Back are much welcome (security) features for an “adventure” watch. So, if anthing it all, please bring the backend logic (off-route alerts, smart track back) to the V1. I don’t need it to look “pretty,” I would just love the functionality to work in the field. Please.

@Maximilian-Mustermann I totally agree with you

@MarkG Touch for map screen has been disabled with this update. You have to enable it in the settings.

Finally got a Varia to pair with R2 last night, but the RTL515 only. RCT715 has been a no-go, as has Wahoo’s.

Is there any insight as to the Varia app being limited to a particular model?

[A Former User]

@off242 I think Varia SuuntoPlus app is developed by a third party developer, not Suunto itself. Does it work with RTL515?

[off242]

The app does work with the RTL515 @danyel but no others.

That said, I’m kind of underwhelmed with the performance of the app, requiring an additional screen instead of an overlay, as well as near-constant vibrating of the R2 on my commute to work this morning. Guess I’ll continue using a traditional computer for the bikes where I use radar.

I think there’s an email address for feedback related to the app, so I’ll share further feedback with the developer there.

@Squirrel this is interesting. I have just checked on my watch (which is rebooted frequently due to testing).

I still have the custom pace zones I have set like half a year ago. zone 5 is set to below 4min/km. And it seems to not have changed…

[Squirrel]

@Egika Thank you for checking. I have Race S. Not sure what model @Speed-Man has and whether this is model specific.

[OutdoorMan]

@Egika mine went poof as well after this update. @squirrel you are not alone.

[nathayogi]

@Squirrel Same for my Race 2 : rebooting the watch causes rebooting pace zones.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I can type up a proper bug report and send debug logs if needed, but my Race S just crashed during my long run this morning.

I was about 20 km in using two Suunto Guides: a structured workout and LiveTracking. I realized that I forgot to navigate my route as I was running in a new area. I long-pressed the bottom button to open up the run options -> Navigation -> Routes -> (selected route) -> Navigate and the watch crashed.

I believe this was due to the fact that I was already using 2 SuuntoPlus Guides and cannot start a 3rd. Sucks though, as I had to stop, wait for the watch to boot back up, restart the run, select the workout, navigate the route, and ignore LiveTracking.

Of course I can stitch the two activities together in a single run, but part of the reason I purchased the Race S was because my 9 Baro would crash on me when doing structured workouts while also navigating a route. I was hoping this wouldn’t be an issue with the newer models.

Let me know if this is something you want to dig into.

What is the HR broadcast tested to work with? I got it connected to a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt v2 but no HR readings despite the successful pairing (Wahoo identifies the V2 as an ANT+ HR sensor).

[EzioAuditore]

@gkaempfer Worked great with the Garmin Edge 1050 I have. Not only that but pausing activity, moving away from the Edge all were without any issues. I am not sure that V2 has Ant+

[gkaempfer]

@EzioAuditore Wahoo devices tested so far all support ANT+ and all fail to show HR (despite pairing correctly). These include: Ace, Roam v3 and Bolt v2.

[Alonzo]

Thanks for the update and kudos to Suunto team!

I experience a bug with resources after the update: they basically stay way too high through days with small rises over night. This does not correlate neither with HRV, sleep duration and HR data, nor with how I actually feel.
Resources metrics worked never perfect for me, but it became a bit more useful from January till now.

Does anybody else experience similar bug?

[HonzaS]

@gkaempfer V2 doesn’t have ANT+. Just tried that on elmnt roam 2 and it connects as ANT+ and show nothing. Strange, it should be BT.

[gkaempfer]

@HonzaS I was also surprised to see it. My guess is that it’s some bug on the Suunto side. I’ve had a Coros watch connect to the Wahoo for years without issue.
