We need Updates!

@Ollipolli I agree. Where are the updates? I got my race 2 a little over a week ago and have noticed so many random glitches and silly things that are missing in the the basic functionality of the watch that its competitors in similar price ranges have. For example… a very basic “feature”, and I cringe when I say its a feature but being able to show what the remaining battery percentage corresponds to in actual days. Why can we not see this?? Also, sometimes the button shortcuts dont work when im on the watch face screen and everything is unlocked. I have to scroll a bit and then itll work. So many more that a lot of people on reddit are talking about too.

@Stavrogin i think your missynderstood my point but that is fine, everybody has their opinion. But I suggest you to use your own logic and think that people who do not have problems will not go to forums and reddit and say thay it works for them, since they do not have a reason. We only see those who complain and I assume that is minority of poeple.
I have full understanding for people if it does not work and I hope it will be improved for them. -

Hello everyone,
I’ve been a Race 2 owner for 10 days (after 4 years with the Fenix 6 Pro) and am actually quite happy with the Race 2, but I’ve read about some issues and bugs with the software here in the forum. To those who have been Suunto users for a long time: how does it work at Suunto? Can we expect regular updates that fix the bugs? I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Race 1.
Does that mean we just need to be a little patient with the Race 2 and the Software?i think the best course of action is to work out what issues for you are dealbreakers, report them to suunto, and if they are not fixed within your 30 day return window, then return the watch (with reference to the issue). that is the only real bargaining power we have with suunto.
i note that one of my dealbreaker issues remains unfixed 9 months after I reported it (and 8 months after I returned my watch): https://forum.suunto.com/topic/12624/interval-laps-are-not-exported-to-third-parties-and-.fit-file-correctly-if-lap-button-is-presed-breaks-runna-strava - and it seems it existed years before.
i liked a lot about the watch and would potentially return to suunto if i saw a meaningful change in their software approach, but they seem very lost right now.

yolo… die app ist 1000x besser wie die garmin 1990 grütze
und die R2 für 399 ist der top deal !Race 3 comes in 2027 earliest i think
more people leave garmin for race 2 / V2… me too and im happy
-
@dani_degi na sagen wir es mal so, unsere Suunto App hat sich in letzter Zeit sehr verbessert. Vielleicht liegt es am Chinesischen Mutter Konzern der Druck macht. Keine Ahnung. Bin ja selber nach Jahren der Garmin Nutzung nun zu Suunto. Aber von der R2 leider trotz allem etwas enttäuscht. Und ja, wie viele andere auch fehlen mir die Challenge Features von Garmin.
Aber du hast auch da recht, es gab bei Garmin viel Schatten
-
Ja die challanges waren cool aber ich vermiss sie nicht… Hab 8bis 10h Training die Woche da ist es mir egal 🤪
Bereue den Umstieg nicht… Besonders weil auch die race 2 die Hälfte von ner 970 oder f8 kostet

Hallo,
muss mich hier als Neuling mal anschliessen. Suunto ist perfekt im Preis Leistungsbereich. Ich war lange mit einer Polar Unterwegs, dort ist auch nicht alles “Zucker”.
Eindeutig Suunto!
-
The price of the new Fenix 8 Pro was also my reason for switching. I’m actually very happy with the watch, and yes, there are a few things with Suunto that I personally think could be improved or are missing altogether, and I don’t think it would be that difficult to implement them. But as you say, it was no different with Garmin. I think we’ll just have to wait and see what future updates will bring.
-
@pgrob Suunto is unbeatable in terms of price. And who knows what else will be added via patches.
Greetings

Exactly. I’m looking forward to future updates and am excited to see what else is coming. So far, I’m happy with the switch from Garmin to Suunto.

Is anyone else having the problem that blood oxygen measurement no longer works since the update? My watch no longer measures at night, and not even when I start it manually.

@SyntaxError race 2 blutsauerstoff messung funktioniert ohne probleme … auch während sleep tracking
-
@SyntaxError i had this problem only with 2.46.14. I had to rollback because of that. Now on latest firmware 2.48.16 i don’t have this issue anymore.
-
My last measurement was before the update.
-
@SyntaxError bei mir geht auch alles.

In the entire 3 1/2 years I haven’t been as annoyed with my FR as I have been with the Race 2 in these few weeks.
