Suunto Race S – stress and HR issues after charging (firmware 2.50.x)

matt-r

Hi
Is anyone else experiencing strange behavior after the 2.50.x firmware updates?

Two things I’ve noticed:

Stress values after charging
After charging the watch to 100%, it often shows high stress for the rest of the day, even when I’m just sitting and working and my HR is low.
Unrealistic HR when hand is in a pocket
During a normal walk, if my watch hand is in a jacket pocket, the watch sometimes reports 180–190 BPM, which is clearly incorrect.

Anyone else seeing the same?

The HR-problem is the same by my side since the last update.
When i start a running or walking modus everything works fine.
I go just to a shop or pick up my kids at school…. The hr is around 180-190bpm.
I put off the watch from my wrist for some seconds. Put it back and it works. Sometimes the issue come back in a few minutes

@matt-r, I have noticed that with this watch, HR and SpO2 readings are inconsistent and inaccurate, even after following the instructions during resting.
