@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…

@gerasimos That’s was the trick AutoLap was ON (settings by default) and when turned off, Current Lap Number and Current Lap time are working as excepted Thanks very much

@JousseG said in Race S with decathlon HR belt: But with the race S, on the activity selection screen, the belt icon is not stable. It varies between grey, green and green with the HR. Same here, with Decathlon HRM belt and Suunto Race This belt has worked flawlessly with Garmin Fenix and Wahoo Bolt v2 for the last year.

I’m my experience it only works on routes imported by Kamoot or made in the app. So not sure why Kamoot imports are not working. In my user case the first thing I do is turn off TbyT and simply follow the blue line. I hate the watch constant notifications and as others have said the warnings aren’t ideal. I haven’t used TbyT since the last change.

Last week I set an alarm for midnight (0:00) It never went off. Luckily I was awake at 23:50 and I usually don’t have to wake up at that time. (An other problem is lack of configuration options. My workdays are from monday to Thursday. That cannot be set on a Suunto. Also an alarm on every Saturday, to not miss parkrun, cannot be done. But that is by ‘design’ and not by buggy software)

@elbee said in Vibration off (only) for mobile notifications: I recently switched from garmin back to suunto and in general I’m happy with it. There is 1 area that needs attention from developers and that is in configuration options. Not only for beeps and vibration, but also for alarms and specify datafields on lapscreen or mapscreen. To name a few. And why can’t I exit an buildin activity? In stead of useful firmware changes suunto added trackmode. I train on a track every week and I think it doesn’t add any value. And I never heard anybody in my athletics club complain track training is difficult due to lack of support on their watch. We need more flexibility and configurations. Agree on the need for more flexibility in settings. It would make a big difference if we could customize things like vibrations, alerts, and screen layouts separately. The current all-or-nothing approach limits how people can adapt the watch to their daily use or training style. I also found it odd that some built-in activities can’t be exited or tweaked easily. Hopefully, Suunto considers more user-configurable options in future updates.

@Tomas5 @Egika thank you both for the replies. and I agree: It would be nice if suunto would be more specific “officially” on the materials used.

@sang-shin-Lee Yes. Now more often then before I encounter black map situation. Also, more often changing route to another during activity fails.

@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.

@vietpq Was the watch resting on the table HR sensor down? Maybe it thought it was on the wrist even with no heartbeat. If so, next time try to rest it display down, or 9 o’clock down (on the side).

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