@Mff73 yes
multiple alarms and finding the Phone 
-
@Mff73 ācallingā may be a bad translation on my side -> you can find your phone with your Suunto (making your phone ring)
And you can now have more than one alarms e.g one for weekdays and one for weekends.
-
Those things where in the specs, so not a surprise (but a good one nevertheless !). SV will/should get it to with the update to come.
Suuntoās devices at home :
Vertical titanium solar
Suunto Race S
S9pp titanium sand
Suunto Wing
S9B titanium Ambassador edition, A3P, X6 -
@Tieutieu actually itās funny how often you suddenly use those feature, you first thought you will not need very often or at all
-
@ChrisA letās see ! For now I donāt really use alarm on my SV, but, how knows !
But Searching phone could be useful for me sometimes ! -

@Egika I was asking because I read that spo2 is a battery killer, to turn it off if not necessary or in a mountain environment.

While it does not seem to consume a lot of battery, this one definitely is a metric without use for mortals in the lowlands.

Just opened mine.
The Titanium in the Race must be a different alloy than the Vertical. Itās less dark and has a different tint, between beige and light grey.
And of course the initial firmware upgrade takes 60 minutes to completeā¦
Other than that this watch is just beautiful looking, not even remotely comparable to Garmin watches. It looks like a generation ahead. -
Vertical - Bezel material: Titanium Grade 5
Race - Bezel material: Titanium (not specified what grade it is) -
Titanium - like Aluminum - is almost always anodized, otherwise the surface would not be inert as it is.
The anodization can be done in various colors not affecting the metal alloy structure otherwise. -
To find out more, feel free to send me both SV and SR and I will perform the X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence analysis to get the phase and chemical composition.
It is non-destructive but I will be very tempted to keep both watches afterwards

I believe Suunto is back in the game but I am facing the following bugs with the Suunto race all black:
- Canāt answer/respond to a call through the watch.
- Lagging/Image distortion at map viewing especially at 500m and 250m view.
- Canāt rearrange the date format on watch face.
I hope all of the above to be solved with the next update.

What is the default date format? mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy?
-
@David-Lown canāt change from mm/dd/yyy to dd/mm/yyyy.
-
@Kostas-Zinelis it is a known bug which will be fixed.

Hi everyone, my new Suunto Race titanium arrived yesterdayā¦ until yesterday I was using an Enduro 2!!
I have some questions:
ā¢When I put it in do not disturb mode it takes a while before the display turns off.
ā¢When sleeping mode is active, is it possible to see the time without the watch waking up completely, like on the Apple Watch which can only see the time in low light?
Thanks -
@Kostas-Zinelis I am pretty sure you canāt answer calls with it at all. I read it nowhere in the specs! Youāll get notified about a call, but you would answer via the phone

if used together with an iPhone, you can choose to decline or answer the incoming call, like with Suunto watches before. Of couse you need to speak into your phone after this.
