@sky-runner it does actually. It always starts to connect to the last used, but advances to others it finds. But you can disable each sensor per activity and it will remember this…

@aqua86 Thank you for your feedback. Let’s hope this is implemented soon. In my view, this should be done within the app, as it is the app that passes the data on to Ocean.

Comfortable to wear, as well as excellent sound quality and microphone. They are not a runnig sensor (I believed the marketing promises)

@TyreseJ4 two comments: battery life is not an online hype, but one of the key specs of a sport watch. my S9B Ambassador is slow and the battery not in anyway living up to the one in Vertical 2 I would sell it, if it was not the Ambassador version and thus some kind of collectable…

@manno02 I’m not using the vertical 2 but this issues seem to happen across several devices. I stopped using the chest strap until this is solved because the OHR works fine on the Suunto Run.

@aiv4r Thank you! I’m now looking for AirBnB accommodation for the UTA 22 next year I love this watch but I’m kicking myself for not trying on the Race 2 and the updated bands at the Suunto stand…

@SamuelP I once had a problem installing watch faces, so I reset the settings. Now I’ve decided not to wait for the watch update after all, but to reset the settings instead. Of course, it’s a shame that I have to set everything up again, download maps, and wait for the HRV and ZoneSense ranges to be calculated. I’m curious to see how Suunto will resolve this issue—will the new software version help, or is the problem somewhere else entirely, meaning I’ll have to reset the settings anyway?

I wanted to know if it was a normal behavior of the watch because on my side it is a problem because it turns on almost all the time the watch and so the autonomy is not there

Have to say, what you don’t know you cannot miss. But last year, in a very dark hotelroom, the screenflashlight of my race s was sufficient for my wife to find something on the table while I could stay in bed. So, for now, I’m in “what’s all the fuss about” mode. The digital crown of my race s is complex. Just using it to scroll up or down through menus or items is hideous. The 5 button layout of my previous garmin was better, but with touchscreen I don’t use the buttons very often. But to zoom in and out in a map it’s great. Again with a but. I was used to zoom on the garmin and it was horrible. Complex and buggy as hell. So is the crown just better that worst case garmin or would a 5 button Suunto implementation beat the digital crown? Might. perhaps. Not unlikely. Have to say, the race s provides the features I want in the smallest possible case, so the vertical 2 wouldn’t be competition for my race s (for me). So 5 buttons or a digital crown wasn’t a consideration. Have to say, 5 buttons shouts a bit more outdoorsy and a digital crown a bit more watch like.

Does the Ocean really have all the features of the Nautic S? One thing I wasn’t sure is if Ocean supports Trimix - which Nautic S seems to do. And maybe Nautic S is lighter, but this could also just be the strap Edit: I forgot - also the Nautic S has no Trimix

The models of garmin that are testen in a scientific way (not by some sport gadget blogger) shows that hrv isn’t that accurate on those models. (See https://the5krunner.com/2026/05/05/forerunner-265-hrv-study/ , links to sources on that page) I have no reason to believe other models or other brands are more accurate.

@yassine-besbes If I remember correctly, the sensor indeed needs to be deleted from the watch and paired again. This came with the change in sensor management. Now I see that you have already tried to re-pair it. Have you deleted it before this? And then have you enabled the sensor in the exercise settings under “Sensor Data”?

The reason this happens is because we can avoid unrelevant / bot users spamming the votes. If you post (which you are allowed) you get a couple of votes and then you join the game. Imagine if one would upvote on silly features and be a bot

Hi everyone, I think my problem was that I had configured the screens and synced them, but when I tried the mode without GPS, it wouldn’t start the custom views, and I only had a few bits of information. Yesterday, while sorting through my data, I got my custom displays. However, now in the Suunto app view, I have no details at all… just an error message… and the Strava sync, TrainingPeaks, tells me I only ran 6km instead of 10… Ugh… you chase one problem and another pops up. But so my original problem is solved… or at least it seems so. Thanks everyone.

@Manuel-Extreme I agree that V1 still is the best watch suunto has built in recent years. what distinguishes phones from watches is, that watches do not need security updates. V1 works perfectly well with the last release. of course we see new features on V2 and R2 that would be nice to have. if I hadto decide today for a new suunto I would still go for V1.

Bought my S9PP right after christmas 2022, and right now, battery life is low, some bugs like stopped OHR in the middle of the night, connection between chest strap and watch sometimes gets lost, and some other minor things, I think it may be a good plan to buy another one at the end of year. Still kinda hoping for am updated version of the watch and the form factor, because to be honest Race 2 will look to big on my arms and for wearing it 24/7 I guess it will be too big for me… I could use the S9PP for normal daily life and the Race2 for sports, but where is the point in this. Too much hassle.
