      Hi you all Suunto Race S users! Got mine today. Very nice watch overall! One question about the crown button. When you scroll the crown, it is much more stiff than e.g. the crown on Suunto Race (and other watches with crown button). With Suunto Race, I could scroll the crown with one finger. But with Suunto Race S, I need two fingers to scroll. Are you experiencing the same? Should it be like that or is mine just extra stiff?

      The same here. It looks like it’s meant to be.

      I have been using Garmin, Polar, Coros and Suunto watches for 20 years for running and cycling. I currently have Suunto Race.

        I also watched some of the review videos of Suunto Race S, and it seems on those they also scroll the wheel with ease and with one finger. 🤔 strange. On my watch only possible with two fingers on the crown and that way the “upper finger” nail hits a bit on the wrist. Because for a good grip on the crown, other finger must go a bit under the button…

        How about e.g. @Brad_Olwin or @Egika should it be extra stiff or same kind of experience that Suunto Race has?

        Edit: …and also if watch turned off and wheel scrolled: I can hear a little rustle sound there. Other way a little smoother, and other way a more screech sound there. Not bad but anyway…

          Hello. New day with new thoughts 💭

          1. Can anyone tell me why in this watch face is this blue circle around left data field? This circle blue circle is always there, no matter what I put to this field 😞

          ![alt text](99f600c6-0eae-433c-8e16-a74044544726-image.jpeg [link text](link url)image url)

          1. I can’t connect to WiFi 2,4 to download maps on my router. I have for this simple password and I can’t. I did hotspot from iPhone and Suunto app get connected, for some time. After 1 min the connection are lost 😡. Any solution?

            It is 0/07 but not yet open to purchase on : https://www.suunto.com/fr-fr/Produits/Montres-de-sport/suunto-race-s/suunto-race-s-powder-gray/

            I have to sleep and go back to it tomorrow morning 😉 but I must admit I could hardly wait these days without scrolling on this RaceS… it has become a fascination.

                Same issue with my WiFi and Vertical, really difficult to download a map, i can’t find a real pattern. Tried all sort of 2.4 wifis near me, a two android hotspot.
                It finally downloaded a map but without the watch screen stating so…

                  Waiting for the blue one to be available. By the way, can someone tell someone at Suunto that the page title on the german site has some “& n b s p ;” in it?

How is in yours HR zones readings?

                            I don’t care about this because i use a Wahoo Roam for my bike activity.
                            And also always with a Polar H10.
                            On VTT, i can put in my pocket.

                                        Also used their offer. Shipped to Germany, from Finland, I think. A few days ago it cost only 301 € including shipping using the code. Arrived after 4 days with UPS, no express. First smart watch for me, very happy so far. 🙂

                                          Orange race s in stock early this morning (yesterday I missed the launch…during the day somes models were in stock very few minutes again…but I missed).
                                          Ordered this morning ! (yesterday I also succeeded to order the utmb strap)
                                          It will be my spare watch/amoled test and will allow me to send my SV for repairing (solar charging out of service)….i just still don’t know if I take the chance to send it now or if I wait by the end of August after THE race of my year…afraid of delays of repair…
