returning to suunto with the Race 2, few startup question

Nhumbug

Hi community,
im returning to the suunto platform, after my Suunto 9, ive been touching base with garmin, polar, coros, amazfit and withings.

Suunto race 2, was what i was waiting for, to be able to return

So far so good, damn, ive missed the app, which is out of this world compared to all of the others. Ecosystem is really good, and feels like the corner stones are set for even more to come - awesome.

i do have a few questions, that seems rather noob, but i can solve it:
1: how do i change, add or remove data to the preconfigured sports modes? iit used to be:
app, go to watch, sports modes, edit. but i cant seem to edit any of the preconfigured sports modes, i can only add a new, is this right?

2: DND during activity - yes i can activate DND in the sports mode menu, but when i complete the sports mode, the DND is still active. Is there anyway of having dnd default on, when entering an activity?

3; same goes with button lock, i continuesly hit the midle button in my crossfit activityes, so the main screen is never there, when i need it, is there anyway to activate button lock, default in specific sports modes?

Thanks.

Yes, create a new custom sport mode and you can configure all data fields

2: DND during activity - yes i can activate DND in the sports mode menu, but when i complete the sports mode, the DND is still active. Is there anyway of having dnd default on, when entering an activity?

No, AFAIK DND is a setting in the watch independant of sport modes.

3; same goes with button lock, i continuesly hit the midle button in my crossfit activityes, so the main screen is never there, when i need it, is there anyway to activate button lock, default in specific sports modes?

No, Press and hold the lower right button. You can then lock the watch manually but you have to do this every time you start an activity

I have the same behaviour with my S9PP, DND stays on if you turn it on for an activity. It’s an unexpected behaviour but it doesn’t bother me much, I anyway turn it on and off often with a long-press shortcut.

Thanks for the reply.

1: is fixed with custom sports mode, perfect!
2: a little annoying that i have to turn dnd on/ off manually, but mybe it will be an option to turn notifications off during workout, in future fw.
3: not good- button lock on, sports data pages still changing with a short press of middle button. A custom sportmode, can help, just having one page, or only usefull pages, that will do fine. Even worse, a force reset was made twice during my latest workout, im not even sure which button needs to be activated to perform that hard reset, but it did, twice, during handstand and handstand walk
