Question: Race S Software for Race?

[Antoine]

@Brad_Olwin soon ? Does it mean “this week” ?

[isazi]

@MRC01 well, honestly it was just luck, nothing major changed. Race works as good as Race S in the water, and also as bad.

This is also my conclusion after swimming with all Suunto watches.
Don’t take DCR’s individual tests as laboratory results

[Arnaud Lclr]

@Egika So important to remember that: " Don’t take DCR’s individual tests as laboratory results "

No statistics, no repetition, just a comparison on a given day with a standard also on a given day, under a sky with X satellite, with a swimmer and his own movements… etc. etc…
So much too much binary interpretation of divided opinions like DCR’s, even though he’s so popular for so good things.

[isazi]

@Arnaud-Lclr I mean, his work is useful, and I have been reading his reviews for over a decade now. The best would be if we could all try all new watches and decide which one we want to buy, but this is not possible for most of us, so having trusted reviewers is good.

That said, swimming is still an area in which Suunto watches are lagging behind Garmin, but this does not mean that they do not work at all.

[Arnaud Lclr]

@isazi I’m right in line with you. And I’ve been following this for almost 10 years too.
I was reacting because my mind and my scientific training are crying when I read a lot of tests/conclusions that claim to be robust when there isn’t the embryo of elements allowing a “fairplay or pro” analysis/comparison.

FWIW, last week I swam in a friend’s outdoor pool. Turned on the Suunto Race and let it get a GPS lock before entering the water. And turned it off after I got out of the water. The track started and ended at the right spot. But during the swim it jumped across the street behind the neighbor’s house. Oops. At least the depth gauge worked perfectly.

@isazi
But does that mean they’re working on it?

[Felix Felicis]

Tomorrow might be the Day of the Update. I am so excited!

[mikekoski490]

@Felix-0 Why tomorrow??

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@mikekoski490 it’s written in the stars.

[Antoine]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel what can you read now ?

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Antoine I don’t know as it’s day, but I’m downloading the update

@Łukasz-Szmigiel

[MRC01]

@Felix-0 Tomorrow is today. New firmware installed and running. The process went smoothly. Some nice updates in here, thank you Suunto.

[ab100]

this watch face disappeared when installing the new update. It had a very useful design with lots of information. But otherwise great new features… especially 20 km zoom range.

[isazi]

@ab100 I cannot open your picture, but no watch face has been removed with this update that I know

Edit: I can see it now! Yes, the compass or daylight complications cannot be combined anymore, you are right

[ab100]

@isazi ok thanks for confirming

Question may be off topic.
How do I recover data from the Suunto app in the watch after a reset with all basic settings restored?

[isazi]

@jean-philippe-Ciffredo after a sync with the app, you get training metrics back in the watch, i.e. ATL/CTL/TSB and weekly TSS
