Race S: Extremely high battery use rate
-
I can only confirm (Vertical 1) that some watch faces are more “batter-usage” than others.
Therefore I avoid watch-faces with animations like moon-phases, earth-animations, north-arrow, classic seconds-arrow etc.

I don’t think that battery, as it is after last update, is acceptable,
A few days ago I run a ~3h trail with maps always on and battery barely drops 12%. For sure issue depends on the config/features used, but in my use cases, everything is working fine now after last update.

@snow that means that the watch is valid for a 100k run without charging it. Not bad.
I’m thinking in pushing an order.
It has a very good price now, but I’m afraid Suunto is replacing this watch for the Race 2 S very soon. -

It seems we all have the same problem.
One night sleep with sleep monitoring uses ove 10% battery.I’ve disabled sleep monitoring. It’s neither accurate nor useful. You’re better off asking yourself in the morning if you feel refreshed or still sleepy. A much better indicator how you slept.
If you disable sleep tracking you also disable hrv. But from properly tests (not some youtube gadget influencer) hrv measuring on garmin watches isn’t that accurate and I have no reason to believe others brands are better. And, again, the useful of hrv is questionable.But some people love collecting data, so I understand disabling data collection isn’t an option for everyone.
