I have a new toy - a Fenix 8. Git rid of my Epix Pro. Just as a data point Garmin is far from perfect, as well. Today I did a progression run, with three 18 minute sections, each faster than the one before. I don’t know what the HRM-DUAL did think today, because in the first section it has gone crazy: [image: 1791217211070-ab4366e4-ed39-41e2-b4ff-ddbe2ae8d2c6-image.jpeg] Luckily Garmin records both HR readings and allows full FIT file imports. So, I could fix it (relatively) easy by replacing the heart rate column in the records with the wrist HR… I could have reworked a Suunto FIT file as well, but if you export and import it, it will lose its watch tag at the very least.

We will see. Iam almost sure I saw somewhere on instagram someone with exactly same watch strap like this white/orchid.

I’m waiting for this feature too. I’d really like to use it.

Dude people on reddit already told you it’s Run 2. I am not sure what is the purpose of this.

@Thaler-Martin for my Race S there are days that work better and days where Resources are just going up. A soft reset of the watch usually fixes this. But I haven’t had a Race 2 or Vertical 2 to test this…

@isazi No problem at all—that makes perfect sense. Thanks for clarifying!

@Lolostralopithèque-Nomadis je n’ai pas dit que ça ne servait à rien, juste que pour moi je n’en vois pas l’utilité même en ultra. Et donc ne pas le mettre de base ce qui alourdirait le fw ne me semble pas une mauvaise idée. Par contre si les apps ne conviennent pas, effectivement dommage

He started to have the issue after while charging (accidentally disconnected from the magnet). He charged full battery and performed a soft and factory reset. My watch crashed maybe two/three time since 2023. Really don’t know what is the problem. He has Coros Pace 4 in mind for his next watch.

Well, when I switched to “Endurance” battery mode around 22-25 hours in (I thought I’d done so at 22 hours in when I got the 20% battery left warning, but then I had another warning later and selected - had to select? - that again, which made me unsure of what was happening… and I myself was at a point of sleep deprivation that made me unsure of anything), I think it deactivated AOD, and it continued recording to 31 hours 36 minutes. Around 10 hours more on 20% battery. Which sounds rather good.

Thanks both. I’ve tried contacting him on Instagram and Reddit. Hopefully I hear back. I’ll update this thread if I’m successful, as there seem to be quite a few X9 owners looking for the same solution.

@elbee Your are right, I could use my Suunto almost with closed eyes (if I remeber the order of last choosen sportmodes) I am currently testing an older forerunner on my right arm too and I still wonder how to get there where I want to in the menu. There are so many things Suunto does right but Garmin has the better marketing gurus

@JebClydeNC got it now. Thank you! And very nice work!

@aiv4r I don’t insist. Faith is faith.

@VoiGAS said in Are now all Suunto Watches made in China?: @zhangschmidt Dive computers I was wondering if it could be those. Defects/bugs there are an immediate red alert (or were, the last time I made it to Vantaa).

@tuxbuster yeah, but trainings work different with Garmin and Suunto. In Suunto the one who delivers the Guide is responsible for the metrics displayed and their labels. Suunto could make it easier, possibly. Here you find a definition of the API uses by Suunto… WIthin Garmin the training objections are defined, not what is displayed on the watch…

Primarily useful for marketing departments.
