Suunto Race S general discussion

Is it possible to run multiple timers at the same time?

Sportsfreund

@ChrisA But setting fake values to get other convenient values is not right.

SergioB

@szleslie it is not possible, afaik

ChrisA

@Sportsfreund as far as I understand it, the RHR you set on your watch is NOT the lowest RHR while sleeping but the RHR when awake and inactive. You can also sit on a table for some minutes and see what‘s your HR while just sitting there in a relaxed state and enter this value.
For me that is always around 60, which is quite precisely 10 beats above my average lowest sleep HR. I also see Resources as a individual value, nothing absolute. If it corresponds with how I feel it’s okay for me and that’s pretty much the case with this settings.

In for a SV or a RaceS and watched Courtney’s Instagram today. It’s a recent post (4 days), not sure about the date the picture is taken but the watch she has seems to have 3 round buttons on the side. I don’t see a Suunto in the line up that has that feature. Any guesses what this is here?

@Steven-Vanlancker it looks like a S9Baro or a Spartan

Sportsfreund

@Steven-Vanlancker If thos should be a Suunto then it could be the soon coming Suunto Run.

GiPFELKiND

@Sportsfreund dont look so. The Suunto run will be the littlest watch in the Race Family… Around 43mm only. See a YouTube video whats coming. Perhaps iam wrong…

GiPFELKiND

@Sportsfreund when the release date for the run will be?

Sportsfreund

@GiPFELKiND Hm no clue why he think that this could be a Suunto.

It’s written in the post description, Big’s Backyard 2020.

This must be a very very very old photo. The S/Lab shirt is very very very old and the Suunto watch has the ambasod strap, which had only 9Baro (I think).

Steven Vanlancker

@timecode yes, it has to be something like that. Old picture … but I was confused as she didn’t look that much younger on the picture

szleslie

Is it possible to send a gpx file to the watch while it is recording an activity? Is it possible to navigate while recording an activity, then stop navigation and chose a different route and start navigation?

Audaxjoe

@szleslie yes to both scenarios.

More precisely, no need to stop and start. You can just load a different route while navigating.

szleslie

@Squirrel Great news because I asked my “friend” Google Gemini about it. It said synchronisation is not possible between phone and watch while the watch is recording an activity. On my Garmin Epix gen 2 I recorded an activity which was a hike, loaded a previously synced route after the recording was started. When I arrived to my destination I created a new route in Osmand on my phone. Shared it to Garmin Connect then send this new route to the watch. I loaded it while the Epix was recoding the hike and followed the newly loaded route.
So It works the same way on Race s. I just want to be sure.
Thx your and Audaxjoe’s answer!

Audaxjoe

@szleslie only caveat I’d say it you need wifi or data to plot a new route. So in remote areas planning a new route may not be possible.

I think packaged like kamoot you can download maps to your phone, but not sure about this. I do use Kamoot but have never needed to plot anything offline.

ChrisA

@Audaxjoe if on iOS you can use an app called Mapout, where you can download offline maps to your phone. With it you can easily “paint” routes with your finger and then share the GPX file with the Suunto app. Works completely offline. It’s 6 or 7 € if I remember correctly.

szleslie

@Audaxjoe Osmand is offline. It can create a course without internet connection.
