    @Ars-Vitae Suunto App planned route distances and elevation gains (ascent values) have always been quite inaccurate for me compared to Race S and Race. Distances are typically 3-5% short. Ascent can easily be 10-20% off, typically on the low side but I’ve seen cases when estimated ascent was 15-20% more than actual. I am pretty sure the app map data is inaccurate and not the watches. The situation was similar when I owned Garmin by the way. However I should mention that when I plan a route in Strava, the estimated ascent is surprisingly accurate compared to Suunto or Garmin. I think that is because they improved their elevation data with data from real activities.

    @segi_pn I had the same issue, deactivating all Suunto plus apps and climb guidance solved it for me. Must have been some (hidden) notifications from one of these…

    Since the latest software update, I’ve been having problems with the Bluetooth connection to my Stryd pod. I can only connect if I make the watch forget the pod and then reinstall it. Yesterday I replaced my old Wahoo heart rate strap with a Suunto Smart, and that only made things worse: now I can’t maintain a connection to both the strap and the pod at the same time. Has anyone experienced something similar?

    @David-Kleman same problem for me. HR is only accurate for me during total rest (Sleeping, sitting still…). As soon as I move my arm or even only my fingers (typing on a keyboard), the HR increases slowly and locks to higher heart-rates. Sometimes even double the actual one. It almost instantly recovers if I take of my watch and put it back on or it slowly recovers over time if I do not move at all for approx. 1 minute. Not only the sensor is bad but also the algorithm seems to favour fast increases above fast decreases. Therefore, misreadings due to movement (high values) seem to establish quickly but correct (low) readings afterwards are ignored and HR recovers to correct values too slowly again which makes the bad accuracy even worse. I tried everything that is recommended for OHRs and never had these problems with my previous forerunner and vantages which were spot on for normal daily use and light activities like hiking or steady and slow running under easy conditions. Therefore, I never even dared to try the OHR during exercise since I anyway always use a HR strap during sport. As OHR readings during sleep are accurate, I in the end decided to stick with the Race S as the new Garmin alternatives are way too expensive. As daily tracking is so bad, recovery and resource metrics might not be as accurate as supposed but I see these metrics anyway more like a fun gimmick. But before ordering I never expected the OHR reading to be a problem during normal daily tracking as this was never an issue with any other watch from other brands over the last years. Probably would have not ordered it had I known that before.

    With the beta FW in I did 600 yards in the pool and still the stroke detection doesn’t work… everything is detected as free (free, breast, back). Once change I did see was, when there was a change in stroke during a length, the next turn wasn’t detected.

    @Pep-Carbonell only accurate method is a professional lactate measurement on a treadmill. If you can not do that or you don’t want to spend the money, a field test like a 10km Time-Trial/Race or 1h all-out is the most accurate you can go. The average HR for the last 20 min is in the ball park of ±3 BPM of your lactate threshold. If you do that 2 or 3 times over the next months to reduce daily influences you will be able to quite accurately narrow down your HR at the lactate threshold. Formulas like 90% of HRmax are way to inaccurate and can be ±20 BPM off. ZoneSense is already more accurate but can still have around ±10 BPM inaccuracy as scientific works could show. A deviation of 10 BPMs is quite good compared to the other calculation methods but it’s still huge if you want to train correctly in the zones.

    Received feedback from the support team. They tell me that the Peak Pro is no longer manufactured, nor that they have the parts to repair it. Not sure why they talk about parts, as to me, the issue had nothing to do with “mechanics” (but hey I’m not a techncian). Their position is “we can maybe fix it, but a cost that wouldn’t be relevant to you”, so instead, they offer to me a replacement with another device. With an incredible discount of 10€ !!! Quite interstingly, the Peak Pro is one of the models they’re offering in this deal of the century. Yes. The same model that is not manufactured anymore and for which they have no spare parts if there’s an issue. Just bought a new Sports2. But with a “I give these guys one last chance, before I move to G” approach, as I’m pretty pi**ed off, the failure happened after a failed update (according to me, but once again, I’m no Suunto technicain), 2 weeks after the warranty expired, and by the fact that the support is putting me in a position where I have no other option that to buy a new device. Aren’t they clamining they are a sustainable company? “Repairability” is the basis of being sustainable, especially for a device that was first realseased less than 3 years ago. Or is the image they want to give some sort of green-washing. Anyways…

    Re : Feature Request: Custom Order/Display of Widgets I was about to create a topic, and saw a smiliar one existed. Yet, I was recommended to create a new one, given the fact the ther one is 5 years old, so here we go: I thought it would be intersting to select the order in which we want widgets to be displayed when turning the crown (or swiping on the screen). Those that I am the most intereted in, are pretty much at the end of the list, and it’s not super convenient scrolling down to get the data. OK, I know I can remove those that I check the least, but I’d still like to have them at hand on the few occasions I need them, rather than spend minutes looking for them.

    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!

    @cosmecosta right. Also I’ve noticed the bug on my watch after picking it up from shelf in the morning - not right after an activity or before. And I believe everything was OK day before. So it happened without any activity - perhaps it was trying to connect to phone (Android) or doing some background maintenance, no idea. I’ve also checked my diary - the oldest activity I can see is from April so it must be cyclic.

    @nseslija all S series are compatible with Strava Segments, or better will be. I believe it was rolled out with last update, but there was a bug so it has been disabled, fixed, and now it is being tested. I do not know if another update will be needed before segments are available again.

    Posting it here (I have since updated to 2.33, but this happened under2.30.38) as I read that it used to be a known bug on the 9PP: Last week I finished a short yoga workout (25 min.) and my 9PP stayed in saving state for over 10 min. I could unfreeze it by coupling the charging cable, then activity showed as saved and gave me the summary. Thought it might be good to keep it as a record. I’ll of course monitor if this happens on the new FW. Enjoy your day everyone! [image: 1711612408201-3841cece-88a8-4b14-8f62-082089593a6f-img_2515-4311.jpg]

    @Tomas5 I just watched this really cool video review of the Vertical. It goes into some fantastic detail on the navigation features AND its done showing the touchscreen in the rain. Shout out to this channel!

    @dankcushions someone on here have a great tip. Sometimes if you add one planning point and move it the whole route changes. Which is annoying. But if you add three, the one you want to move and two lock points you can then edit a section without the whole route changing .

    @duffman19 said in Map Rendering and Trail Visibility after Software Update 2.43.8/.12: I agree that it would be nice to have a better distinction between foot trails and sidewalks. The issue, however, is that OpenStreetMap data is behind all of this. And OSM is basically Wikipedia for maps, but with far less oversight. And there are many different ways to tag a simple path (path, footpath, sidewalk, cycle path, bridle path…) and then hundreds of different sub-tags for each of those designations (surface, access, direction of travel, structures, incline, smoothness, stroller access, and on and on and on…). Nevertheless, Suunto does actually know the difference between trails and other paths. Here is a screenshot of Suunto App in winter mode when zoomed out - as you can see it still shows trails but no longer shows sidewalks: [image: 1757745934831-screenshot-2025-09-12-at-11.44.37-pm.png] This actually looks very clean and useful. I wish a similar rendering was available on a watch.

    Hello, Thanks for your help. I received this week my H10. The size M-XXL is the correct one for me. The H10 broadcast directly the data in ANT+ and Bluetooth, no need to set. So it’s work fine with my Ambit2 and iPad.

    @szleslie I changed my mind. I ordered a Race Titanium Charcoal. I had Race S at release and an Amazfit T-Rex 3. I sent them back. At that time they seemed strange for me. Some weeks ago I ordered a Race S Titanium. I liked it but I wanted a sapphire glass. Returned. I have the Race now. Great device. In my current situation I do not need multiple devices. At least now:). Map rendering is awesome. I could not wait for Garmin to release something like Suunto has in map rendering any longer.
