Suunto Race S general discussion

@Koldo-Larrea I would also like to have bigger font, the joys of getting old!
But I bought the Vertical for what it had, if this was a make it break feature I may well have made a different choice. Too late to complain now!
But maybe this may change in the future. Particularly for standard watch faces. The are very few I can employ now that I can read without glasses that have second counters. Now I think this would be easy as some watch faces are already big digits but generally lack a second counter.

As a Suunto Vertical owner, do you think a screen not just larger—that much I take for granted—but transflective would look and read better? I use reading glasses indoors, but I don’t wear them while doing sports. However, since the fonts are so small and so close together, I find it hard to read the menus and data. Thanks in advance. -
@far-blue I use the contemporary city watch face for this reason. Have you tried that?

@far-blue said in Suunto Race S general discussion:
Regarding the small font, it was clear from the point of purchase what size the fonts were and there were lots of video reviews showing the font size so if the font is too small maybe the Race S wasn’t the right purchase. Obviously there’s the larger screen on the Race which would help with readability or there are other watch companies with software that does allow for font size changes.
This is the reason I have a Race and not a Race S. The 9PP was too small, and the Race would have (I guess) been the same.
@Koldo-Larrea said in Suunto Race S general discussion:
@far-blue I absolutely do not share your opinion. There are brands/watches on par with this Suunto Race S, even lower-end models, that include this feature. Any electronic device with a larger screen comes with it by default: smartphones, tablets, e-books, laptops, etc. However, a watch screen is smaller. I find it hard to understand why it doesn’t include this functionality.
A small but important point: they don’t come with it ‘by default.’ It has to be developed as a function of the software offering. With development budgets competing for functionality, if this is not considered essential for sales, or a means of selling more, then it simply won’t be developed. Again: Suunto is a business, not a cool company that provides watches for our ‘pleasure.’

@Koldo-Larrea In not sure, I have never even seen the race. The Vertical is very easy to read, but I need to wear reading glasses too read the font as it is too small for my age! I have sports glasses with inserts.
It would be great to have larger fonts!

@jannis for me for many years adding about 10 beats to my nightly resting HR seemed to yield reasonable resource levels, very similar to Garmins bodybattery. There are many post here in the forum concerning this and techniques how to find out working values.
Thank you, i have raised it till 52 bpm, and it’s better, but still not perfect. Really, it should work automatically. Thankfully i have a Garmin too, and try to find the right calibration.

@jannis Wo stellt man denn seine Ruheherzfrequenz manuell ein?

@ChrisA Danke dir. Ich bin bisher davon ausgegangen dass meine Vertical diesen Wert automatisch durch die eigene Messung setzt.
-
@Sportsfreund Ne… im Allgemeinen passt bei mir hier die tiefste HR im Schlaf +8 bis +10. Muss man bisschen experimentieren, zu hohe oder zu niedrige Werte führen zu hohen / niedrigen Resourcenwerten und bei mir passt dann auch die Einschlafzeit nicht mehr.
