@timecode …and some users report that no matter how many runs they’ve done they’ve never seen VO2max. I’ve had Vertical for 1,5 years and I don’t have it. (Well Cooper test S+ app gives me an estimation but still after all this time my Vertical keeps telling me to record one outdoor run in order to get insights about my fitness). The last sw update was supposed to make VO2max appear more easily, but no-one bothered to define the minimum requirements. I’ve tried with and without Suunto Smart belt. I’ve waited for a decent GPS fix before starting. I’ve tried running for 15 mins until exhaustion and I’ve tried to take it easier for an hour or so. Still nothing. This is the moment when people usually start asking about my zone definitions… And then other people tell me to forget about VO2max because it is useless. Sigh. My HR max is 185 (a few clicks higher than what I’ve seen in real life while taking it to the limit). My resting HR is 65 and the other limits in between are the watch defaults. Age 55, 187 cm tall and 125 kg. This is my only major disappointment with Vertical, considering how easy it used to be with S9B’s old algorithm.

Suunto It only shows next waypoint, next waypoint. It does NOT show turn left, or turn right. what is the problem? Befor recent update all worked fine and now it’s useless distraction

@jakubedzior I bought these. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GBMXLYF?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

@alex-erhard You can only save and connect one. If you change belt you must connect and save the new one before the training…

@alex-erhard I answered you in your second post, clicked on the bottom right button

@alex-erhard press the lower right button

@DianeB Write to this address support-en@suunto.com But be prepared that they take a long time to answer your question. Don’t stop and ask a lot. Although they are very nice haha.

@alex-erhard Not possible to configure the way you want.

Same with me, I turn off the watch but the stats are not reset when I wake up the next morning please fix this

I somehow prefer the black stainless steel still, but i do find this watch strap really nice!

@off242 just used it yesterday with no issues.

@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.

Would love that too

@TrailEyes Maybe this short video will answer some of your questions: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/R-i2MX52NYo te resumo y traduzo: no funciona

@Jan-Van-de-Velde This is not possible on Race or Race S or Ocean. Basically it would make the battery life similar to Performance mode so a custom mode is not offered.

@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.

@racesuser Yep. I’d meant to post about this, but it’s definitely different. It’ll be fine, and then drop say 40bpm, for example. Repositioning to other parts of the arm makes no difference, and I hadn’t had this issue on previous firmware. Also, when accessing the widget during non exercise, the HR will be much higher, and then steadily lower to the correct BPM.
