Does anyone actually use the scroll on the crown?

@Bastienhere Ido

Late reply. I have had my Race S for a month now and I find the crown really useful when I’m pouring sweat or when it’s raining. Makes scrolling so much easier and I’m not fighting the touchscreen. Extremely useful in these situations.
-
I never use it to scroll. It is ‘heavy’ to scroll and there is haptic featback, which I don’t like (I look at the screen when I scroll, so I see what happens. I don’t need other feedback)
But in maps, to zoom, it’s brilliant. But I was used to garmins zoom implementation, which was always a struggle.

The issue is that the crown on my wife’s Race S is extreeeeemely stiff. It’s really hard to turn and it’s not getting any better by using it. So she is not using it. On my Race it’s super easy to turn, so I am using it really often. I kinda feel sorry for her, because it feels like a faulty product in a way…

@timecode contact support, the crown should not be stiff
-
@timecode the crown from suunto race s is definitely much more stiff than at the race.
-
Strangely enough, I use the crown more often than the touch screen. Somehow I almost never use the touch screen and instead use combination of pushing buttons and spinning the crown.
But I should mention that the main function of the crown - to zoom the map - doesn’t work reliably.

I’ve noticed that too. Race S crown is more difficult to spin compared to Race. Maybe that is because of the smaller diameter.

@isazi I had a couple of Race S before I decided to stick with it. The first two had a crown that was uncomfortable to use. The third one that I kept has a crown that is lovely…
And for the topic: I use the crown a lot and wouldn’t mind to be able to disable touch screen outside of maps…

I have Race S titanium and use crown very often. I prefer crown over the touchscreen. Sure, touchscreen is perfect in map.
-
I use it just to zoom in on maps. I had completely got it could be used for anything else
-
I use it all the time. Not a fan of stroking screens
