      @Edoardo-Coppolillo I am using Vertical on my handlebar (see my profile pic) and my map has never disappeared, but of course Race has newer firmware.

      Compasses: M-311, A-10, SK-7
      Diving: Finnlight Navy 90, Vyper
      Sports: Metron, S7, S9B and Vertical

        Hi @BrunoH
        Thanks for the reply for the Vertical! Useful indeed!
        I will wait and see if someone else had a similar experience with the Race before choosing between the Race and Vertical

        Thanks!

          Race shows red breadcrumb only when tilted to the side what is the natural running position on the wrist.
          if you put it on the handle bar you’ll permanently see the map as the watch is facing upwards

          living sideways

            @Jonathan-C I revived my old S9B Ambassador nylon strap as described in https://forum.suunto.com/post/131776. I think those are still on sale for instance https://www.juwelen-binder.at/index.php/start-os/suunto-9/suunto-band-ambassador-limited

              @Edoardo-Coppolillo I have no experience with the Race on a Race, but as others have already answered, it seems to work 🙋🏻‍♂️

                @freeheeler if you have a planned route, it stays on the map page, and not breadcrumb page, whilst running. Or at least it did for me on Sunday.

                Have to say, the route planning worked well except for when I wanted to change the data screen, and then it seems to want to tell me to go right rather than left. It did sort itself out, but would have been a bit disconcerting had I not know the route we were running.

                    @BrunoH that’s some dedication 👍
                    I settled for the white and love it better than the original one, Suunto should make these standard issue!

                    Current: Ocean, Vertical Titanium Solar
                    Past: 9 Baro, Spartan Ultra, Ambit3 Peak Sapphire

                        Until now I’m happy with Race.

                        Pros:

                        • weight feeling;
                        • Digital Crown very responsive;
                        • amoled screen (contrast, maps are in another level);
                        • HR seems less erratic than vertical (different fw?);
                        • battery it’s enough (43h);
                        • great UI, simple to find things;

                        just 2 simple things to add:

                        • more watchfaces;
                        • in maps with routes a field to show how many km to reach endpoint.

                          Hi there, I’m a new user of the race. Loving it so far.
                          Does anyone know how or where the Vo2 max is found after activity?

                            Last Saturday: with 100% battery the watch gives me 45h of dual band. During 4 h 13 min, 20 km hiking the watch consumed 8% battery. For the same move my 7XSS (MIP screen) lost 13%.

                                            I miss solstice from s7, and heat maps. I wonder if they would look good on SR.
