    @gkaempfer I see the conflict there. But keep in mind this is the advantage of a large battery. Suunto gives warranty for 1 year or 300 charging cycles (300 cycles is something you’ll get in 11 years! Based on a charging cycle of 14 days) https://www.suunto.com/en-nl/Support/Product-support/suunto_vertical-2/suunto_vertical-2/care-and-support/battery/ Influence of the low charge is equal. If you compare a battery which lasts 1 day or 20 days, and you drain both to 0%, the time below - let’s say 20% - is equal. For the small battery it’s more frequent, but shorter. For the bigger battery it’s less frequent, but longer. So, I think keeping the battery healthy has more impact by draining it less than charging it less. Also, I think a 14 day cycle is acceptable and most conveinient if you have a regulary week schedule. So if my battery is 20%, 16% or 14% - I don’t really care, and it’s still an acceptabel percentage to do a run EDIT: by the way, I don’t think you should be worried about it too much. Probably calander aging is the biggest enemy and we just can’t stop time. The sweet spot would be 20 - 80% charge. But you’ll give up 40% of your capacity (that’s 8 days!) to keep your battery optimal for 20 or 40 years. That won’t happen

    @Stavrogin I agree so much with what you say. This forum for me has been brilliant. I have learnt loads and the are so many helpful and knowledgeable people. But lately the repetitive complains and often arrogant comments make it hard work reading at times. I came from Garmin, have a Wahoo also. And couldn’t be happier with the V2, or the V1 before it. Brilliant tools. And the only “took” I have a slight emotional attachment to. Maybe it is because I am older and remember the days of paper maps, measuring distance with maps wheel and counting contour lines. But bloody hell what ever brand you choose we have amazing kit out there.

    Since the last update, with the 9PP I’ve had some lap go uncounted up to 4 out of 10 times, and recently with the Race S it’s happened 1 out of 4 times. It’s not terrible behavior, but it’s certainly not on the side of excellence. Also, the timer for automatic intervals isn’t working.

    It’s nice to see some positive comments, so many posts are pretty negative. I fully agree with your experience. I have switched between Suunto and Garmin for 20+ years. Over time, each had their strengths and weaknesses. I think Suunto Race 2 is one of the best options sports and adventure watches available. The UI is logical, intuitive and provides simple and effective options for navigating with the 2 buttons, scroll wheel (great for map zooming in and out), and touchscreen. The data is spot on, no fluff, and the new oHR sensor works great. I personally like the architecture of keeping Suunto Plus apps separate - you add only stuff you want, unlike Garmin packing it all into the base watch (and making it cluttered and more of a learning curve). It looks amazing and feels great on the wrist. I won’t be switching back to Garmin anytime soon if ever. Three improvements I would like to see (1) add routable maps with trail and feature names (2) allow more than 2 Suunto Plus apps to run during an activity (3) sync all data both ways between the watch and app so all data is global (like the app) vs local to the watch. That would allow for multiple watches to act as one from a data perspective. It would also allow data added from other sources (bike computer, manually entered) be reflected on the watch. My 3 cents.

    @Sportsfreund I understand what you are saying, but there is a difference between seeking advice or help vs complaining. But I agree which what you are saying partly. I would not agree that “Nobody goes to a forum if everything is great.” I came here and I think others have as well to lend support and celebrate Suunto.

    @VoiGAS I assume that the issue is something like that. However, under the assumption that GPS is accurate, especially multi band which I used and is supposed to be very accurate, I would think that step count could probably be corrected by a better algorithm (assuming occasional measurements would miss a step, measure double air time or some other artifact).

    @Ecki-D. I think your guess is correct, it probably won’t work technically. It’s kind of a shame because you have to consider navigation or live trekking… Thanks for your feedback

    @aerodynamik I am also not satisfied with the volume and vibration on the watch. But i live with it. It would be good if it could be improved.
