I think it is already too late to suggest improvements for the next update. Whatever will be there is likely already at the final stages of testing. But in general I am looking forward further improvements in such core features as offline maps, navigation, tracking of on-route waypoints, turn guidance, and elevation guidance. Every single of the above needs further improvements. I cold probably make a separate long post about each of these areas - what is lacking in each of these areas for me as a trail runner and how it can be improved. My first priority would be to make trails more visible on the map when zooming out. In the current implementation trails become very thin, borderline invisible, at 0.5 km/mile zoom level and completely disappear at 1 km/mile zoom level. Suunto already has heatmap data. Perhaps Suunto could find a way to use that to determine which trails are more popular and should be prioritized on the map when the map is zoomed out. Perhaps the second priority would be to make elevation data more accurate. When I plan routes in Suunto App, the total elevation gain is routinely up to 20% under of what is actually measured by the watch when I complete the route. That is especially bad on a rolling hills terrain, but even in big mountains with large climbs, elevation gain is almost always at least 10% less than actual. That also affects climb guidance for individual climbs because it is based on the same flawed low accuracy data. Also, it would be really awesome to enable Suunto App to store maps offline and to allow making a new route and transfer to the watch while in activity in wilderness without having data on the phone. That would be a powerful feature that would, to a large degree, alleviate inability to route on the watch. It should already be possible to transfer new routes to the watch on the fly, but that currently requires having mobile data on the phone, which makes it much less useful for many of us.

@wakarimasen Yeah it is real. I have come off being healthy for a minute though and it is interesting how terrible Garmin is at tracking health metrics. I think that they work if you are living the healthy life and stay within the lines for the most part. Plus you have the endless drumbeat of the cult telling you everything else is garbage because it doesn’t have a flashlight or music. Two problems easily solved without paying over $1000 for a watch. I am much more in tune with my body and where I am at with training with Suunto. I think you will be too. This wakarimasu.

Hi Suunto team, I love using my Suunto Race – it’s an amazing watch with great performance and design. One feature I (and many other users) would really love is the ability to set a custom background image on the watch face. Even a simple option through the app would make a huge difference and add a personal touch. Please consider adding this in a future update Thank you for your great work! – Liel Gershberg

@MKPotts Thanks a lot for getting back to me! You’re totally right — there’s no graph data for those three days. That’s a shame, the data could’ve been really useful. It’d be great if the watch gave a warning before the memory gets overwritten.

Just to report that after the update I lost all the paired devices I had a doubt. Yesterday, right after the update, I did a soft reset (right button up pressed for 10s), so to be sure I did it again and found that paired devices are removed because of that, so the update was flawless. Sorry guys!!

Had the same problems, and replaced the strap by a more breathable from Suunto. Still if I forget to loosen the watch after workouts and wear it all time I get skin irritation at the sensor area. Then I switch wrists at least during sleep. I don’t think its the sensor but the charging poles maybe they contain some irritating metals and in combination with sweat and pressure it irritats the skin. I haven’t been tested positiv on metal allergies but sometimes I have problems with metal buttons on trousers, sometimes not with the same button.

@Tieutieu for a reason I ignore the POIs are back. I don’t know if they are back after SA update

@Mika-Hirvaskari Sorry, I have an Android Phone.

Bonjour a tous, J’utilise une Suunto 5 peak depuis 1 an, que j’ai connecté à mon capteur de FC (Polar H9). D’habitude tout va bien, à la fin d’une activité la montre charge 20 sec le temps de tout synchroniser et mon activité se télécharge sur mon application… Or depuis ce matin, en revenant d’une sortie vélo, ma montre reste bloqué sur l’écran “synchro données FC” avec le petit chargement… Cela fait 3h que rien n’a bougé… Je ne peux pas quitter cette synchro, j’ai essayé de déconnecter et reconnecter ma montre, d’enlever et remettre la pile de mon capteur de FC mais rien… Le seul moment où je n’ai plus cet écran c’est quand je reçois une notif qui s’affiche donc sur ma montre. Quelqu’un a t’il déjà eu ça, et/ou sait comment arrêter ça ? Merci ! Björn

Hi all! My Android mobile phone can connect and be paired with my Suunto 5, but it keeps on pairing once both devices are connected. Obviously, no performance data is automatically synced. The app and softwares are updated. What might be the problem? Thanks!

Interesting take! A lightweight Suunto with Stryd support would be a game-changer for runners. I doubt they’ll add it, but if they did, I’d consider it too. The T6c was legendary—2000 miles is impressive!
