@Eric-Rütschlin Another lack I took for granted. I guess I have to wait a little longer with Suunto…

@Simon-0 Suuntoapp is registering activities without knowing your HR zones (it is using default ones). Maybe an hint to explain metrics differences like calories?

@tatian246 then the race s i a great device! Highly recommend it! IMO the best value for any actual sportswatch and you’ll love the route planner in the Suunto app for planing hikes

@Egika said in Race S (new) OHR sensor: Race S has 1 green emitting LED. No idea which second you found. yes, just one green, but 2 red …

@jakexuan Thank you for your insight! It certainly is frustrating and does seem like it can be an easy fix… I do rely on the automatic interval count/timing and don’t mind the slight inaccuracy for the easy stuff, but when I am doing any type of speed work, I do need to have full control on the start and finish to have a fully accurate split times As silly as it sounds, I think my only option for when doing main sets would be to switch to a running profile and use the lap duration counter on there

@Vanillaface Check Settings/General/About on the watch and scroll down until you see Assisted GPS. This should have the current date. If not the file for finding satellites is not loaded. A second issue is that this file requires a few minutes to unpack. If it syncs to the watch immediately before an exercise it will take much longer to get a GPS lock. Your lock (solid green arrow) should take only a few seconds if you have a good view of the sky.

@gshaw34 Hear rate sensor is just bogus. I will post some heart rate screenshots in https://forum.suunto.com/topic/11854/suunto-race-s-optical-heart-rate-sensor-accuracy/13

@kaab6271 as there is an Auto DND feature I asked specifically for manual activation. So, my guess is that enabling DND makes the watch more aware of a possible sleep cycle or napping. I don’t know if it doesn’t work without enabling DND. I only tried one night and it didn’t detect sleep. But as Suunto doesn’t respect focus modes on iOS it sends all the notifications over to the watch even with “sleep” focus mode. Therefore disabling DND has not proven to be useful to me…

@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

@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.
