Charging base

[sindavide]

I find the Suunto Race S’s magnetic charging base really bad. I need to position it more and more times before it starts charging. Sometimes it interrupts charging even though at first contact the lightning icon appears.
Anyone with this bad experience?

@sindavide Yes, the magnets are not strong enough for the base to just perfectly snap in place. But you can put the charging base on a flat surface, then place the watch on top. It is easier to align the the watch’s crown/middle button with base cable, although it will charge the other way around as well.
You can also monitor the charging progress in the Suunto app, especially if you don’t charge to 100%.
