    @OutdoorMan, noting connected (I don’t own an HR belt) and not sure why Bluetooth is still on even after I put it in power-saving mode. Bluetooth is on during my workout, so I can see notifications from my phone; otherwise, it’s off. I keep Aeroplane mode on, so wireless and Bluetooth are off during regular daytime use.

    @sky-runner, same issues: my watch uses 7-10% battery even in power-save mode overnight.

    My Race S also inflates the elevation gain. I don’t know if it has also done this but I noticed a month a go when it reported triple on an about town bike ride. I use the Strava feature to correct and have confirmed that this issue is with the watch as the routes and climbs are known elevation gains that are much less then the watch summary. The sensor is clean as is the watch It has been restarted It has been synced before the start of every ride It is set to use GPS data for elevation but still reports as if bar changes are overriding GPS values This seems to be systemic as there are other forum posts here and in Reddit about this issue. This is a fundamental feature requirement that a watch like this has to get right. As bad as if it couldn’t keep time or distance. Imagine the watch saying you did 10 hours when you did 1 or 100 miles when you did 20.

    @sky-runner it does actually. It always starts to connect to the last used, but advances to others it finds. But you can disable each sensor per activity and it will remember this…

    @aiv4r Thank you! I’m now looking for AirBnB accommodation for the UTA 22 next year I love this watch but I’m kicking myself for not trying on the Race 2 and the updated bands at the Suunto stand…

    @SamuelP I once had a problem installing watch faces, so I reset the settings. Now I’ve decided not to wait for the watch update after all, but to reset the settings instead. Of course, it’s a shame that I have to set everything up again, download maps, and wait for the HRV and ZoneSense ranges to be calculated. I’m curious to see how Suunto will resolve this issue—will the new software version help, or is the problem somewhere else entirely, meaning I’ll have to reset the settings anyway?

    after everything you already tested, this really does sound more like a firmware issue on the Suunto Race S after 2.39.20 than a router/network problem. The interesting part is your router logs showing absolutely no connection attempt from the watch. That usually means the WiFi module itself is not initializing correctly after the update, not just failing authentication. I d still try one last simple test: connect it to a very basic 2.4 GHz network without mesh/repeator features, WPA3, band steering, or hidden SSID. Some devices become weirdly picky after updates. But since you already tested multiple routers and hotspots, I honestly doubt your network is the real issue here. Feels like the update broke WiFi handling for some units, especially since the problem started right after the firmware upgrade and before the maps could finish downloading.

    @Kajkom Yes, it matches. But that doesn’t seem like it’s connected to the issue. The watch counts correctly all the way up until you save/finish the workout, at which point it discounts it 3.75%.

    @Thlcd great comparison. I also have noticed that the last update, although full of bugs and battery eating, greatly improved the wrist HR on the Race S. Previously I only used the HR chest strap, but after reading comments here I gave it a chance for walking and body building – for biking the watch is on the handlebar, so I need the strap. Well, after a few tries, I have to say that finally it seems that it works well!

    @2b2bff said in Min. Sleep HR too high?: @raven I know it shows the same issue, therefore I picked it… Those Min HR fields are actually buttons that show a line in the graph for the selected data. So, you can see whether the graph is below or above that line. Haha didn’t mean to imply you didn’t know you had the issue; it was just more musing to myself that I’m clearly not alone in this. I did seem to have missed that selecting it as a button turns on a line which is useful and clearly shows a few points in my graphs where the graph is going under the line. Thanks. I guess at this point my questions are more “does it work the way I’d expect it to for anyone or is what we’re seeing a universal truth in Suunto app/devices,” as well as “is there a good reason for this behavior I’m missing.” Have a good weekend!

    @Nelson-Diogo I agree. Hopefully they are aware and working on it. It seems wierd selling products that are supposed to be used together and they arent =).

    @SRS2000 you can only have one max HR. It is impossible to have more than one. Even more it doesn’t matter as it is the top of your zone 5 anyways… Suunto Run is a bit different than the rest. With the others you have to set the zones yourself - more control, but a bit more hassle at first.

    [image: 1777194333458-img_2053.jpeg] [image: 1777194333470-img_2054.jpeg] Some more helpful info I thought about, I read someone had a similar issue two times at the same distance each time. For me time and distance are different in each case, so I am not sure if it’s related to his issue or not. This is the issue I mentioned https://forum.suunto.com/topic/15116/watch-reboots-mid-activity-at-ca-9km-when-using-gpx-navigation/2 This also seems to be related. https://forum.suunto.com/topic/14527/crashes-in-the-middle-of-an-activity?_=1777194428329

    @isazi said in [Race S - 2.50.28] Nap detected during recorded sleep: so report it again if it happens with the new firmware And there I am: Nap accounted to yesterday: [image: 1777121428413-059d473a-6019-4348-bf94-fa20ad027bb8-image.png] And tonights sleep: [image: 1777121473999-6f04e699-6aba-4c5e-bbc2-09d3a18430a6-image.png] Fair enough, I did wakeup because of some noise around 23:55 - as seen by the rising HR. But the sleep tracking didn’t even registered it as wakeup… I think, somebody should look at that code on a higher level as there seems to be something broken in the overall logic…

    @halajos said in FW 2.53.2 Countdown timer vibration: @sindavide yes, I also experience it on the Race 1. The last beep, which should be longer, gets interrupted, therefore sometimes shorter or not even audible. By the way, having 11 beeps is weird to me, I’d prefer 9 short and one long. Yes, same here. Plus alarm in the morning interrupts without pressing button and no snooze.
