@babychai No no, never used screen protector. Suunto saphire glass is very good, no need to protect it with a weaker layer IMO. But I think it’s a hardware issue, watch is not in warranty anymore, but I can live with it, until Suunto Vertical 3 release :). Cheers.

@Mister-PYC said: @Tami999 Helmo Tamo99 Please do not take it bad for me your proposal make a far too complex sceen which will be impossible to read for me one of the beauty of SUUNTO is the simplicity of the screen and in the same time their beauty there are not too much informations in the screen and for me who is impaired and need a X2 glasses to read from near … I still can almost see all whtout my glasses … with yoru design I will see nothing so what to say in case the reading conditions are worth I don’t take it bad but I think You responded to wrong person

@sartoric No, no protector, suunto has the best saphire glass And always clean. Maybe it’s a hardware fault as @tieutieu and @isazi mentioned. Well, glad to know that it still working as before on some watches because the timing it changes on mine, sure looks like it was being deprecated. Thank you all for the clarification.

@2b2bff Yes, but I think 1gram difference is ok… at least my kitchen scale cannot measure after the comma

I understand that the distance accuracy used to affect running more than other activities. I don’t run, but I noticed that my R2 was always a bit short on distance when cycling. Not much, but noticable. Around 300 m on a 50 km ride. It was somewhat frustrating when my ride was just 50.2 km and it was reported as 49.9 (as if I did not reach my target ). The latest update improved the accuracy. It is still a wee bit short, but it seems that it might be missing <100 m (70-80) (still on a 50 km loop). In all cases, I compare the Strava distance, a Garmin (Edge Explore 2), and R2. The difference might be also due to different ways each tool treats stops and pauses (I.e., how much distance you have to move or what speed you need to reach before they assume that you are moving again).

@freeheeler I sold my Ambit 3 watch when I bought my Vertical 1. Now I use a Vertical 2, but I haven’t sold my Vertical 1. I wear it occasionally. Legendary watches

@mickywickyftw said: I think I’ve worked it out - it was a typo! Ok, I’ll try in a few days

working well here too. I would have to dig it up, but I think the alert is triggered by a certain speed. If you walk away slower, it will not alert you.

@ggrego said: @peegee Hello, is it impossible to use ascents in personalized sport mode? it is possible. Read the first message in this thread. You just have to make the custom mode after updating the firmware.

@johann.fuehrer said: @Steven-Limmer Charge until full and then do a Soft Reset. For me this solves this. Needs to be done after each charging … I hope it’s fixed in the next FW update Did you report the problem at suunto support? Without knowing Suunto isn’t fixing anything in some future firmware (that is, if there will be a new firmware for the race). I reposted a nightly battery drain once for my race s. Most of the time, with my ussage, I get 3 to 5 days max out of oled watches. (Oled is a lousy technique for hardcore sportwatches. My last mips watch lasted initially 2 weeks with about the same usage). Have to day, I didn’t do any follow up on the battery issue. I have a bigger issue with Bluetooth that I want Suunto to fix. If there will be a new firmware update for my race s, that is.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos thanks for the recommendation. Mine is dropping a few meters but then it is slowly getting back to normal. Is this what you are experiencing?

@aiv4r Yes, NGP and a few other metrics that should not have anything to do with HR. And because of that r-TSS hasn’t been calculated correctly - I believe it depends on NGP.

Yes, Resources algorithm is complete nonsense. On my Race S, it is affected by battery charging, as if it measures battery stress. 🧐 After charging the battery in the morning, the resources would decline in red over the whole day! Now I only charge at night before sleep, so this way I only get one or two bars of red, because sleep phase seems to not be affected by this phenomena.

@brechtvb so far so good with the latest update, but Race S has not received it yet.

@Łukasz-Szmigiel Thank you. I’ll try using it now.

@isazi Thank you very much

@leejohnmann said: Any suggestions on how to get it back on? To eliminate the possibility of bad contact, you could connect it “directly” if you are handy with wires. Below picture was posted as a joke in another thread, but in this case it would ensure connectivity. You could also monitor power consumption with USB power meter, if you have one, to see what’s going on, if anything. [image: 1783377395800-pxl_20260501_181051337.jpg] In any case, if the battery fails to accept charging current, the cell voltage might be below threshold level and only service center could reset it. Battery replacement might be the last resort option, if all else fails.

@johann.fuehrer very disappointing.

@brechtvb Thanks a lot for your reply! I really appreciate you sharing your experience and the Bosch eBike project. It looks like a great starting point for understanding how BLE communication works in Open SuuntoPlus. My goal is actually quite simple. I’d like to connect to a GoPro and display information such as: Recording status Battery level Remaining storage or recording time At least for the first version, I don’t even need camera control. I’ll definitely take a look at the project you shared. If I make any progress, I’ll post an update here so others can benefit as well. Thanks again!
