Well, since the primary discussion went to ‘offtopic’ about the custom mount (pictures), I suppose there’s no solution to set the display to ‘always ON’ during cycling, MTB, etc???
I always use Race on my handlebar mount and i’ts realy anoing, that display is automaticly dimmed. It’s hardly readable in this dimmed mode, specialy maps, maybe in dark forest yes, but on the normal daylight no go! Since you do not press or rotate the crown, to wake up the display (just for a few seconds) it’s for me useless! Tryed different angles of positioning Race on handlebar, but no! The general setting of display to ‘always on’ does not help either. So at this stage of FW we are not able to set display to its constant full brigtness, or I’m missing something??? -
This is the reason I switched to the Vertical. I didn’t find a solution and the fact, that the full brightness is needed during the whole bike ride to have a usable map is a no go for me.

@Durri Garmin 26mm mount for Fenix etc series is perfect!!
Just tested this because I have the mount and both Suunto Race and Garmin Fenix 7Z Solar watches. -
@Durri said in Bright mode Cycling.:
Does anyone have experience with these mounts? Could it fit?

@MrFreeze how strong is mount?
-
I Think with Suunto Race it is almost stronger in place than Garmin in it. But not in a bad way. It just works
It is impossible to come off I think. I have watch strap lugs in place, I think that it is harder to come off when they are in place. Garmin mount works just as well as Fenix watch in it. I am proud that I discovered this to community -
@MrFreeze Hi, which size did you use?
-
@Durri maybe you can print this?
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/suunto-mount-bike@isazi when will a formal Suunto mount be available? Not the bar thingy but one for OTF?
-
@HoBart maybe this would work idk.

@Durri maybe this would work in a 22?

@ppresing always on doesn’t work for you? Have you tried changing to always on?
-
@i5boi I tried General/Display/Always On yesterday, and it didn’t make any difference. I still couldn’t read the map most of the time while descending winding roads, which could have been useful!
-
@ketsipor ok. Just tried maps and now I see. I don’t ever use maps as I know where I’m going most of the time. If maps are needed I guess they will fix or won’t on purpose to force us to buy a Karoo 3.

@HoBart After the Update to 2.33.12 the behavior of the Suunto Race is even worse. Was on the mountainbike yesterday and the Display turned black after a few seconds. Even the maps screen turned black After a few seconds. I always had to click the crown to wake up the display but then it always flipped to the next screen.
Don‘t understand this behavior in cycling mode. The watch should at least stay dimmed so that you are able to read a little bit. Turning black shouldn‘t be an option in the cycling or mountainbiking profile. -
@HoBart i have same problem with brightness during cycling! I switched to amoled for better readability but iťs the exact opposite. Thumbs down for amoled and suunto settings.

@HoBart
it works well when wearing the watch on the wrist.
I wouldn’t put my watch on the handlebar when mountain biking, but for road cycling.
it is a known topic and the same for everyone. let’s see
-
@Petr-Hudeček if I don’t use navigation, mine works just fine (on the bars).
-
@freeheeler But I would like to see my current speed, heartrate, elevation and all the other data just with a glance. And I definately doesn‘t want to take my hand of the handlebar.
-
@HoBart
…when cycling, right? fully on your side. the watch should show the screen and data when on the handlebar while cycling.
with mtb: plenty of time to look at the watch on the wrist uphills, definitely other priorities on the way down
-
@freeheeler i had a run today and it was really sunny, finally. Anyhow what bothered me was that the raise to wake did not work at all. The watch was always in dim state and it was totally impossible to see anything on the screen. The only way to wake it up was to touch the crown which made it jump to the next screen. Which was really frustrating since I was following a training plan. So what is the expected behaviour regarding the race and running?
