Hence the phrase… All the gear, no idea

Today I did another test with a different round-trip track. Editing those points of the track in Komoot does not seem to make any effect. The offset is always there. After a while, I went out of the route like 1km and then I returned to the route again and started running back in the route. The autoreverse did not work until a very long time. I started receiving notifications but after skipping many indications. Another little thing: The text when out of the route is extremely small and completely unreadable. This needs a little fix (that icon is just an invented one as an example, and colors and everything should be according to the layout) [image: 1777413648823-out_of_the_route.png]

Hello, On the 24th, I conducted some tests, first on a practically straight route, and then on a route in the same area with hills and curves. My hypothesis that the Race 2 is incorrectly processing the recorded points was confirmed. The straight route is marked every 500 meters; it was 4.04 km according to the Race 2 and 4.05 km according to the track, measuring almost exactly during the activity. During the activity with curves, the problem returned, subtracting 80 meters from the total: 4.00 km according to the Race 2 and 4.08 km according to the track. I’ve attached some screenshots that I will send to Suunto support: [image: 1777273901039-captura-de-pantalla-2026-04-27-085958.jpg] [image: 1777274020950-captura-de-pantalla-2026-04-27-090132.jpg] I encourage you to conduct these tests and also send them to Suunto (support@suunto.com). It’s the only way they’ll take the issue seriously. If this problem is widely known, I doubt Suunto will sell another Race 2 at its current price. Regards.

The issue with the incorrect zoomed in individual climb guidance. In a short period of time I have already experienced it twice. Here you can see that I have transitioned from a descent to a climb as visible at two different zoom levels: [image: 1777224787857-f1b77f1a-e047-41cc-b259-92e28034ec4b-1_all_9057.jpg] [image: 1777224818028-f1b77f1a-e047-41cc-b259-92e28034ec4b-1_all_9056.jpg] But if I zoom all the way in, it shows me at a descent, and that seems to be the previous descent that I’ve just finished: [image: 1777224970549-f1b77f1a-e047-41cc-b259-92e28034ec4b-1_all_9058.jpg] I hope it doesn’t require another year for this to get fixed! Also, as mentioned above, fix the layout so that it actually shows how much climb or descent is remaining and increase the font size for the remaining distance because it is quite difficult to see.

I can’t tell which is more accurate between Running Dynamic and Suunto Spark on the watch, so I’m not confident enough to speak about it.

@OutdoorMan said in Minimal watchface (feedback): @dreamer_ I personally just need to have a date in time only mode, because I never remember what date it is. And that’s it Totally agree. Battery icon also means you’,ll never forget charging your device but that is my feeling. I consider the rest of the things totally useless

@suzzlo said in Downloading map takes a very long time: @muurain said in Downloading map takes a very long time: Suunto’s cloud service that throttles the downloads but… you can download maps for the mobile phone that are much faster… so… if we think, same server is delivering them… this should not be the problem… Anyway, I can live with it You’re right! I didn’t even realize that, even though I did download mobile maps too And yeah this does seem like an understandable constraint of small smart devices. I too am happy to have the convenience of WiFi downloads, even if they are pretty slow compared to bigger devices. My old Garmin Fenix maps downloaded way faster, but it was via USB cable and a PC. But given the analysis here, the original post does now sound like a WiFi issue or a bug. Maybe try downloading maps on some other place or WiFi…? If the download speed is considerably less than 1GB / hour (or ~2Mbps), it should work faster and there are not many broadbands this slow.

Hi everyone. Nicolai, thanks for your efforts despite the limitations you’re facing. These past few days, due to activities and routes with poor outdoor coverage, I’ve given up on using this great app (until it’s fully integrated or Suunto offers more features) because I’m spending more time configuring it than training… Anyway, we’ll see more stable connections and compatibility with the watch (simultaneous Bluetooth connections) later on, as the current issues are causing constant chaos. Cheers.

@MdzOtt yes, SA is the one not doing it ;). In my case with Karoo Gen 3 I see same avg power with zeros included (gold standard) like you get see with garmin/Strava

@Webby-Skymaster BTW, I have a similar sensation since I bought the Vertical 2 after all the navigation marketing because of the Q1. They did a nice job but there are several issues and bugs, and while there are nice things, navigation is not that good as advertised (in my opinion). I opened a thread with several things. There’s also a very nice one about the issues of the Climb Guidance 3.0

I recently disabled sleep tracking and it makes a huge difference on battery usage. Now with my usage (no aod, 7 - 10 hours gps usage a week) the battery last for over a week, were I used to charge it every 4 of 5 days. I find sleeptracking not that useful so I don’t miss anything there. What does puzzles me is that disabling sleep tracking also disables hrv. But that is also a minor loss. The day after a training hrv is lower and after a rest day it is higher. No surprises there.

@Highlands These are great! Thanks

@Egika Yes, different colours make no difference unfortunately

@thibault-b. Good job !!! I test the last version today. It seems perfect all information I need size … thanks !

@pavel.samokha Thank you for the explanation… I didn’t see that update so apologies!

@manno02 said in Suunto Vertical 2 – Bluetooth issues: connection loss after a few minutes and/or after stops”: It seems that suunto is not really interested in solving the problem I was in contact with the support several times and reported the problem and sent the logs but now they closed the ticket without any information You always get a “we close the issue due to inactivity “ mail. It is beyond comprehension how stupid this mail is. Apart from complaining about bugs, I also complain about that mail. Then you get a reply like “that is an automatically generated mail and we cannot do anything about it” Then I explain they are Suunto, Suunto sends the mail so they are the ones that can do something about it. If everything is how it should work, a support engineer should have made a new ticket for the development team and the ticket that is closed is only the support ticket. But like I said, if everything is how it should work. I asked some follow up questions about the bluetooth connection issues, but haven’t heard since…

Just submitted logs (13:40 BST)

@Egika thank you too.

Very Nice!!!
