Widget resources

[Elad Solomon]

@ggrego resources does not work for me at all, I have done 2hrs cycling workout and I am on 85 with active status.

[ggrego]

Yes it did the same for me 4h00 of walking I went down to 80% and 1h00 after I was at 90 it’s the first time after wearing the watch for 6 weeks that I went down to 40% but it goes up right away in the day

@ggrego gave up anyway, I stopped checking i go by feeling rather by a widget that tell me I am on 99% after 2 hrs of sleeping because my newborn decided not to sleep the whole night

Apparently you have to wait 6 weeks for it to start being reliable but hey I can’t find a real explanation and no help on the suunto forum

@ggrego I have waited a bit more than 6 weeks, waiting from April

[ggrego]

On the suunto leaflet he advises to put the minimum heart rate of sleep as heart rate at rest I will see in the next how it evolves

Hi everyone,

I’m noticing that the Resource tracking on my Race 2 seems completely off and overly optimistic.

Yesterday: I did a heavy 36-round HIIT circuit session. Despite the high physiological load, the app recorded 0 hours of stress and 20.5 hours of recovery. The resources dropped only slightly to around 75–80% during the workout and shot right back up to nearly 90% shortly after while sitting on the couch.

Today: I woke up to 98% (Very High) resources with 10 hours of recovery and 0 hours of stress logged so far today.

It feels like the HRV stress thresholds are set way too high/insensitive, treating almost the entire day as “Recovery” and ignoring EPOC/post-workout physical stress altogether. As a result, the widget is essentially stuck between 90–99% every day, making it unusable for actual recovery and training load management.

Is anyone else experiencing this “Stuck on High” resource behavior, or is a fix planned for the upcoming firmware update?

Update with graphical proof:

Here is my 6-month resource history chart, which clearly shows when the issue started:

March – July (Suunto Race S): Realistic and dynamic resource fluctuations. After hard workouts, resources dropped properly (sometimes below 20%) and recovered naturally.

August – Present (Suunto Race 2): Exclusively after switching to the Race 2 in August, the algorithm got stuck at the top. Resources barely ever drop below 60–70%, no matter how hard the training was.

This clearly confirms it’s not a user-specific HRV baseline anomaly, but a model-specific algorithm regression/bug introduced on the Race 2.

@_Luki danke das ergebniss ist eindeutig…schade das das mit der neueren uhr so schlecht geworden ist…hoffe auf Verbesserungen so hat das widget null Zweck…

@Thaler-Martin absolut. Nervt mich auch. Eine momentan nutzlose Funktion und wie man an meinem Beispiel sieht hat das schon mit dem Uhrenwechsel zu tun. Schade das von Suunto keine Reaktion kommt. Auch mit der manchmal fehlerhaften HF Messung
