@SamppaP no one, the official statement from Suunto is that Vertical, Race, and Race S are still supported and will get updates in the future.

Great, could you please share that official statement? Thank you very much.

There you go

@thailon the only information I can share is that Vertical, Race, and Race S are not included in this Q2 update as Suunto is still assessing the scope and timing of next update. Further communication from Suunto will come when a decision is taken.

As far as I’m concerned, I think Race S is already complete as it is and, to be honest, I really couldn’t think of anything else I could ask for. Bug fixes are, ofc, always welcome

Thanks for update. Maps looks amazing, tide app is welcomed too but i will probably get possibility to test it somewhere next year, please share some screenshots how it looks like. Thanks.

I see only this:

Since i live 800km from sea, should be displaying some info like data not available for your location instead of “updating”, is this bug?

Btw i already synced multiple times. No change.

Yes, after your explanation, I tried it now in the unedited sports mode that says “basic”. It appears like this. Is this a feature or a bug? Thanks for the information.

It should also be a feature in the customized modes accordng to Joaquin’s video

I’d like to have the HR broadcast “memory” that this update provides on my Race S, as well as improvements to maps; also, from last year, vertical oscillation and ground contact time were added to Race 2 and Vertical 2 and I’d appreciate those on Race S as well.

Looks like this:

Plus you can add tides as complications to the watch face
