I have a Race S, and I tried everything you mentioned here, but it still isn’t working for me. In my case, it started on the 1st day of the year… I hope there will be a fix soon. I liked the sleep summary in the morning.

@Nikolai-Simonov I still get the pop up for showing last route as mentioned earlier. Also, still not able to add a GR number.

@GiPFELKiND Das konnte man doch mal wählen. Finde die Einstellung auch nicht mehr.

@tom_vertical you are a robot and nobody told you, maybe

@cheetah694 Yep, that sounds like better UX for 90% of the activities. An “End without partner sync” button in the watch that marks the activity to not be automatically synced. A new crop screen in the app. A manual “Sync to partner services” button in these activities. This sounds like the simplest/cleanest solution technically, I’m interested what Suunto devs think. Btw I also saw that Garmin Connect’s mobile trim feature only has a time select which would be more than enough for resolving the issue.

I’ve done further investigation and can confirm that the issue is because of footpod connection. I’ve done several tests with my sv2 und the race2 of my wife. What I’ve done: 1.Hard reset 2. run in basic mode and standard mode > vertical Oszillation and ground contact time are visible 3. connect a footpod (in this case npe Runn) 4. treadmill activity > no metrics recorded 5. disconnect footpod (general disabling for outdoor and treadmill runs) 6. start basic and customized outdoor/treadmill runs > no metrics are recorded 7. soft reset / new app pairing 8. issue persists 9. started with 1. again without footpod > works fine. After that: same procedure from 2.-8. So for my testing it’s definitely about the footpod which seem to entirely block the metrics.

@jmolenaar2 said in My Vertical 2 Wishlist for Next Update in 2026: During the activity swipe to this screen and there would be a button to turn the flashlight on or off. Even some gesture to brightness could be there. Tap to turn on and off. Swipe up or down for brightness. Cannot rely on touch. That is no go for an outdoor watch. That would be useless in a rain or even when wearing a long sleeve shirt when the sleeve covers the watch. When I wear a long sleeve shirt I pretty much cannot leave my watch on the map screen because my shirt sleeve starts panning the map all the time. The best solution I can think of is double tap on the lap button. Implementation of the double tap can be a bit tricky because the first tap would have to be ignored and not trigger a lap, but it could be done. Another possible solution is combination of two buttons where the second button is pressed before the first button is released. Garmin does actually have that for some of the button shortcuts and that works reasonably well, but buttons should be on the opposing sides of the case for that to be usable.

@sky-runner said in Race 2: GPS and distance accuracy vs previous Suunto models: @jjpaz No comment about the distance, but when I first moved to Race S from Garmin Fenix 7X I noticed that it reported noticeably fewer steps than Garmin. Later Race / Race S step accuracy when running was improved but my impression was that it still remained too low, so perhaps Race 2 counts steps more accurately. Here is an example from a recent 14 mile run on trails. The number of steps is 23886. Historically, when running on flat road I did about 1600 steps per mile and on technical trails - closer to 2000 steps per mile. When walking - also about 2000 steps per mile. This trail run was more runnable but still with a decent amount of ascent, some stairs and some walking sections, etc. 1700 steps per mile feels a bit short. About steps/cadence: in all my activities during these 2 weeks, Race 2 have measured less steps and higher cadence than Vertical and Race S and I think there’s something wrong. Both watches in same arm. For example, yestarday’s activity: Race 2: 9,02km. 8736 steps. 87rpm. Race S: 9,08km. 8743 steps. 86rpm. Saturday’s activity: Race 2: 11,21km. 10639 steps. 87rpm. 1h02’38". Vertical: 11,26km. 10647 steps. 85rpm. 1h02’37". So, taking this into account, with same distance and duration, how can I take less steps and faster (higher cadence)? I have asked Gemini about this inconsistency: "The data recorded by the Suunto Race 2 during the 62:38 session shows a critical mathematical inconsistency between ‘Total Strides’ and ‘Average Cadence’. The device recorded a total of 10,639 steps. Mathematically, over a duration of 62.63 minutes, this results in an actual cadence of 169.8 spm (84.9 rpm). However, the watch reported an Average Cadence of 87 rpm (174 spm). For this average to be correct, the device should have registered approximately 10,900 steps, which is not the case. This proves that the Suunto Race 2 is not deriving its ‘Average Cadence’ from the ‘Total Strides’ counter. Instead, it is using incorrectly averaged instantaneous values. This ‘ghost cadence’ (87 rpm vs. the real 85 rpm) directly misleads the FusedSpeed algorithm: the watch ‘believes’ the runner is taking more steps than they actually are, assumes a much shorter stride length, and consequently applies an artificial reduction to the total distance (11.21 km vs. the 11.26 km recorded by the Suunto Vertical)." WOW

@vinc14 …

@EzioAuditore said in "Raise to Wake" not working properly during activities: @jjpaz yes I was referring to activity raise to wake. On the Ocean when not raised it goes to low light mode and then medium brightness when raised. Isn’t this the expected behavior even of the Race 2? If not then the setting raise to wake should be removed and aod too Yes. My Race S and Vertical work fine. Raise and screen on. Arm down and screen/backlight off. So only happen to me in Race 2.

That’s a great achievement @GKnoll , well done mate . I hope Suunto sort the backlight issue so you don’t need to worry about it when you undertake the full Spine next year

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos All right It’s not what i’m expecting but it’s ok we can close this subject Thank you for your answers

said in Ressources - what factors are impacting it?: resting heart rate is not the same then resting heart beat?!

@Александр-Галюк Установил v2raytun в самой программе впн, нужно переключить режим с прокси на тоннель, включить мобильный хот-пот, в настройках сети появится Новое подключение v2 ray, там нужно дать доступ другим пользователем подключать и ниже указать название сети именно с мобильного хот-спота

Why I can’t see both of new watchfaces in my Suunto App. Is it not for Ocean ?

9PP resetted to standard watch face during the sync with Suunto app today. All downloaded watch faces in the 9PP deleted again. 🤬
