    @Liviu-Nastasa Sorry, you shared your “official” distance and GNSS (RAW data) measured distance: 14,44km vs 14,65km. That’s the exact behaviour I’ve been watching. In previous watches (RaceS, Vertical), the official distance (recorded in the FIT file and showed in watch) is always close to the GNSS distance. In Race is always between 0.5%-2% less distance than its own GNSS distance so it seems a lot more conservative than SV/SRS in terms of distance calculation, filtering/cutting distance from the “viewed” GNSS raw data. If Suunto has been always recognized as top accuracy GNSS reception watches (dual band, very clean tracks, etc), the calculated distance would be closer to the GNSS distance, unless poor recepction or data is received and discarded for whatever reason. Then, why Race 2 is more conservative? It has a problem in its algorithm and understimate distances? Is it more accurate and then SV and SRS were overestimating distances? Who knows, it seems clear that the algorithm (and final distances, paces, etc) are calculated in a different way and are different. To be honest, I think that SV it’s been a bit generous and overestimating distances a bit, while Race 2 is a bit conservative. May be the “real” distance will be in the middle.

    @Brad_Olwin said in Subject: Feedback on Zone Sense accuracy: Short intervals and Zone 2 threshold shifts: I do not know what HR belt you are using. I use Suunto HR belt, and it is reasonably new, perhaps 4-5 months old, and I don’t use it that often. It was the same with Polar H10 before. If I have a truly easy run. ZS remains green. But usually those are Z1 jogs with my dog where we do a lot of stops. But if I am trail running and putting some effort, my ZS graphs are always messed up like in the example above. I think it confuses the muscular stress with the aerobic stress. Aerobically I am well developed and my HR stays in Z1 and Z2 most of the time with occasional Z3 and Z4 and almost never Z5, but according to ZS it is red a large percentage of the time. I guess I am an outlier and ZS simply doesn’t work for me.

    @EzioAuditore said in "Raise to Wake" not working properly during activities: @jjpaz you’re right when toggling it before starting the activity it works as intended. After the activity has been started it doesn’t. Thanks mate. Is this known and reported? I’ve sent ‘Comments’ from Suunto App, but I haven’t received any feedback, so I don’t know if Suunto officialy knows…

    @surfboomerang This is weird. That’s exactly where I was looking at but mine does not have “Watch Battery Reminder”, but the nagging notification disappeared when I turned off the “Important Notifications”. Well, mission accomplished!

    @bradley858585 From some research I’ve done, it seems this is due to the way Suunto filters reading errors. Instead of smoothing and mitigating the errors, it stops the measurement altogether. I’m not sure how effective this strategy really is.

    Topic is locked. Suggestions are welcome, but should be put each one in separate topic. Usually those requests already exist on the forum, and it’s better to search for similar and comment on existing topics.

    @SergioB thanks a lot, this could be an important information. Since, I tested on IOS as well and there it works perfectly. So, it looks like Android related problem. Somebody from Suunto, can help here?

    At the top of the screen is a “back arrow” button, kind of like “return”. This is “reply to the thread” button. Or you can use “reply” at the bottom of the post

    @mauog Yes, I have experienced this issue - Suunto Support has informed me that this is a “Known Issue” and will resolve in the future. I was asked to send my watch into their repair facility but after 2+ months they finally stated, “Dear customer, We have carefully inspected your product based on the reported faults and performed all the necessary tests. Unfortunately, the damage is beyond economical repair.” Of course I’m completely frustrated with their lack of support and blatant lies as I responded with, "I’m confused by your statement that the product is “beyond economical repair.” Your support staff has already informed me that the issue I reported is a known firmware issue that is expected to be addressed in a future firmware update. That directly contradicts your assessment that the device is damaged beyond repair. To be clear, there is no physical damage to the unit. The problem is that the firmware is not functioning as designed." I guess we will see what Suunto Support has to say - then again, it will take a least a week or two before they will respond as usual.

    Agreed as well, is this something that we could see as a feature request in a future update? When launching a new acitivity there is already a menu for “exercise options” where you can change acitivity only display, battery mode, intensity, … Could we get an option in that menu to activate/deactivate the haptics? That way we could keep the global options as off on vibration but activate it only for specific activities (interval runs, for example vs a long run when we wouldn’t need it). Thanks for the great work and improvements already made to Suunto!
