@isazi, Any idea why - 1, I found strange behaviour of the watch, no matter what battery performance I set on my custom biking activity, after every activity battery goes back to the “Performance” option. Generally, I keep settings to ultra. This will lead you to force-check everything again and again before you start the activity. (Basically, it does not save my custom settings for the battery)

@brave_dave and another night of complete tracking error. This time just randomly half an hour after I fell asleep.

@rawmtb keep me updated. Hard reset didn’t help for me.

@sartoric actually if I check the activity on the watch, I see HR for the whole run. [image: 1761392386169-img_4023.jpeg]

@0b_en haha that is where it is ‍️ I installed it and gave up.

@amer01 not that I know, Suunto’s software is not open source.

@dnonnweiler you can leave your email in the store and get a message when it’s back in stock

to belatedly answer OP’s question- no. that’s up to runna: https://www.reddit.com/r/runna/s/taOZEHULZw but there’s another suunto bug that means runna won’t work properly anyway: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/12624/laps-are-not-exported-from-app-to-strava-and-fit-file-correctly-breaks-runna - nothing runna can do about that one.

@surfboomerang thanks very much for your response and clarifying.

@Krawuzi said in Faulty screen: I have the same issue. One week my Race S worked perfectly and suddenly, after loading it the system started to collaps frequently. Soft reset didn´t work. Text is: ERROR 1403,1403 SW-Version 2.37.34 Also setting it back to Factory setting doesn´t help. The “support” is practically not existing. The “chat” on the homepage not working. Talking to an AI not helping and referring to a support number that doesn´t exist. Can anyone here help me? The best thing is that you send it for repair, I do not have a link but I’m sure you will find it in Suunto’s web page.

@Brad_Olwin You were correct. What I was missing was a GPS fix as I was indoors. Beginner mistake I guess! Thanks for your help.

@duffman19 Thank you, made my day. The same way the Suunto 5 worked (via language setting) but somehow I’d not found it.

@Danny-poleg I’d go so dar as to say I’d prefer they turn off stroke recognition, it’s more like a random number generator. What I care about, which might be different to you, is overall distance and HR.

@sky-runner you are right, this guide is not something that you can install, it is something that is there if you have Strava Premium and starred segments, no way to manually install it. As for the amount of segments that can be stored, not sure, there is probably a limit but I am not aware of the number.

@UB2Run If you build a workout in TP, and the apps are synchronized, the workout will appear on your watch

@igalan said in Race S opinion: what’s good what can be improved: I also have a problem with some sport profiles, for instance the “Weights” profile does nothing for you, it doesn’t even try to count the reps. This is completely unsuitable. I did and do a lot of strength training and I completely stopped using any watch for it (besides running in the background, tracking HR). I feel that all sportswatches fail with this and Rep counting IMO is completely useless since it doesn’t work reliably on any watch. Garmin (I used some ) and others can’t reliably track reps in different scenarios like pull ups or can’t track them at all e.g. in single handed curls or leg workouts. So I will have to count anyways (which isn’t too hard anyways) AND have to correct the wrong or nonexistent rep count on the watch. A pain in the…. I would recommend a good training plan or app where you count yourself and put the info into your plan or that app. I would recommend something like alpha progression or myfitcoach on iOS which will create an adaptive plan with automatic progression (e.g. adapting reps and weight to your personal progress) with lots of graphics and analytics of how you performed over the last weeks and months, which will give one real insights. Garmin otoh only shows you what you did in your workout and a graph of the muscles you used - both of which I knew. No curves showing your progress, adaptability etc.

@claudiotereso Alright thanks! Hopefully this difficult fix will be the solution :). It’s weird that this is not stated anywhere (at least I cannot find it).

Thanks @Bastienhere, I had assumed the behavior would be similar to Suunto 9 and I was socked when I noticed the LEDs never switch off

@Stephen-Kenny I’ve begun week four with a RaceS plus Polar H10 (old pod, new strap). No experience of cycling but the Run activities line up quite nicely between watch and app. I don’t carry a phone/camera with me so had to memorize the numbers today: 1 hour 8 minutes run, Watch 53-something minutes Aerobic, 4m53s Anaerobic; SA 51m40s Aerobic, 5m13s Anaerobic. And the SA graph of the ZS Anaerobic peaks corresponds with when I saw the crossover on the watch. Obviously people have different hardware when it comes to HR belts/straps but I wonder if we also differ in the DDFA algo ‘affinity’ to our personal HRV system. Perhaps some people fall way outside of the model norm?

@fritzbt2013 I have the same problem with my Race S. Its too slow to be usable for me, about 1 Second counted from lifting the arm My workaround is to activate it with the back of my hand, touching (not pushing) the crown. It has a secret touch sensor there, but I think it only works with lift to wake off. And maybe AOD on, at least thats my setting
