Wing 2 general discussion

Tieutieu

Since release not a lot of informations regarding differences with wing 1, or tests. I’m sure wing 2 will provide extra features vs V1 otherwise I don’t understand why it would have beeen released now in the same time than SR2

@Tieutieu one, maybe the main difference, seems to be the direct connection between the Race 2 and the Wing 2 … at least this is how I understand Rainmakers point.

The description of the Wing 2 on Suunto’s website states in addition, that the “light is more intelligent” … flashing in line with your steps when running and ‘blinking’ (more intensive maybe) when standing.

I am fine with my Wing (1) for the predictable future … I believe and hope

Tieutieu

@Shrek3k thanks I had spotted that but was not sure to understand. Makes sens indeed, and probably as you say, means news features to come on SR2 (guidance, but maybe also onboard music ?)

A Finnish retailer summed up the differences:

“Compared to the first version of the Wing, this version 2 differs in the following ways: it now includes voice guidance for workouts and movement sensor-based workout control. The Bluetooth version is 5.3 instead of the previous 5.2. The environmental protection rating has decreased from IP67 to IP66, which, however, can still withstand things like a downpour without issues. The speaker drivers are slightly larger than before (24.2 x 15.1 x 6.2 mm vs. the previous 22.1 x 13.15 x 6.5 mm). Charging now happens directly via a USB-C port instead of a charging dock. Oh, and it’s also heavier by a whole two grams!”

Mashable wrote that:

“The Wing 2 headphones sport a lighter, slimmer shell, so you’ll find both the fit and sound quality are much improved. The weight distribution has also been adjusted forward to make them more comfortable and keep the earbuds securely in place during long wear”

Does anyone have any first hand experience or links to reviews?

Tieutieu

From what i could read the main upgrade seems to be abilty to have direct link to the watch and get direct feedback for metrics (pace…)

I would like to know what’s difference between wing vs wing 2.

I love my Wing and more my Aqua !

@Tieutieu there is no review anywhere highlighting these features.

can anybody who has them already talk about what it is specifically they do with that audio feeback?

Mi_chael

@m.-h.

I found this test Wing 2

He speak of two more led fonctions than the original Wing.
Run cadence and bike brake and turn.

He speak of more quality audio and also mic wind reduction.

Finally connection with Race 2 for pace notification.

VoiGAS

@Mi_chael Sounds great! There also seems to be the neck fatigue test and the jump test as a feature - the Wing1 didn’t have them or did it?

Shrek3k

@VoiGAS No, Wing 1 did not - and does not - have these two features

Mi_chael

Finally i bought a combo Wing 2 and Race 2.

Someone can explain to me how to connect together for « Real-time performance feedback from Suunto watch »

Thanks

Tieutieu

@Mi_chael can’t help you because not user neither of Wing 2 and race 2, but my understanding is that it might be “feature to come”. Not sure you can have that yet with current FW of SR2. Maybe @isazi could confirm ?

isazi

@Tieutieu I also do not have a Wing 2 so cannot test, I know there is a S+ app for Wing 2 that should be released soon. @Mi_chael have you tried pairing the Wing 2 to the Watch as if it was a sensor?

Mi_chael

@isazi @Tieutieu

Yes I heard also for S+ but nothing official by Suunto.

I tried to connect like a sensor but nothing happens.

I wait for the Suunto communication.

Thanks a lot guys !

Tieutieu

Sounds intersting ; I’d love to see a lime color coming like on wing 1

Tieutieu

Wing 1 not available anymore on Suunto’s French website

B0ulderm0nster

@Mi_chael Same for me.
I have a Suunto Race.
There is no offer for a S+ Wing-2 App.
Connecting via Sensor is not possible.

So we have to wait and looking forward to a quick release of the S+ Wing-2 App.

Mi_chael

FYI

On Telegram, Suunto Spanish moderator said that Suunto app will available on the SuuntoPlus Store.

I don’t know when. Perhaps with Suunto Vertical 2

Hi - I got a Wing 2 last week and I have been having connection problems.

Phone: Samsung S23.

I am able to find the Wing 2 on my phone’s bluetooth menu but the headphones don’t actually connect. (the phone says they’re connected, but the light keeps flashing and eventually the headphones turn off). Additionally, the Suunto app keeps spinning in pairing mode and doesn’t ever connect to the Wing 2. My music apps won’t recognize it.

I’ve uninstalled the Suunto app and tried to connect the Wing 2 without the Suunto app present (didn’t work). I’ve reinstalled the Suunto app. I’ve restarted my phone. Nothing works.

I was able to connect it to my husband’s phone (older Samsung, no Suunto app) and it connected without issue.

I did email support but I was wondering if anyone else was having the same issue.

m. h.

@mountain_erin
YES! I am having the exact same Problem. I can connect but it is still blinking and in the Suunto App it whows no Connection
