@OutdoorMan A similar issue has been reported on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Suunto/comments/1rnesu9/froze_mid_run/

So I got my watch this week, it’s my first Suunto and I have to say I’m impressed with how it looks and performs…but it did slightly under report on distance compared to my Garmin Forerunner 265. Garmin was 12.07km, Race 2 12.01km, so about .5% less- I noticed it was a bit behind the Garmin when alerting me at each 1km. Strangely at 5km they were about the same, but then by the end there was about 60 meters difference. A few of my first impressions compared to my Garmin. The Suunto is so easy to use! I can’t make out tiny letters or stats when running so everything is big, bold and colourful- wonderful! Instant pace seems to be a little quicker updating on the Suunto. Maps are brilliant, clear and responsive. Optical heart rate was perfect…the chart after the run was like a mirror image of the Garmin one. Looking at the GPS tracks post run, they were similar but I’d say on this first run that the Garmin maybe edged it. It’s a tricky route for GPS, canal towpaths and single track roads under tree canopies. The Suunto looked to be a bit more meandering and not quite as reactive on sharp turns…but it was negligible really- both units had me in the canal at some point! Then obviously there is the small discrepancy with distance. With the distances I run being 15k and under, if it stays around .5% then it’s negligible enough for me to live with it- there’s always the chance it could be improved upon in updates anyway. I’ll have to do another run not following a route to see if it makes any difference for me. Finally, if I needed any more persuading to get on board with Suunto, the fitness age in the app has me at 34- I’m 56. Flattery will get you everywhere so I’m definitely keeping the Race 2!

@Tieutieu I’d like to still have an option of zooming into an individual climb too even when there are waypoints. I wonder how that could be done considering that a upcoming waypoint can be either before or after the end of a climb? In other words, if this is implemented as zooming the experience may end up being inconsistent and confusing because a single climb view may not be the most zoomed in level if there is a waypoint in the middle of that climb. Perhaps this could work as if there was a waypoint at the top of every major climb and every major descent - this might still be tricky and confusing. Or perhaps the last zoom level would be a special one and work like Climb Guidance v1 and hide waypoints. I didn’t know. In fact, I don’t really like the old Climb Guidance v1 focusing into short ascents and descents that often end within 0.3 nile (500m), but I like using it for major climbs.

@DrSilverthorn said in Course planner feature suggestion: @sky-runner this could work. Maybe the degree to which you prefer one solution vs another is tied to how obsessively you’re watching the info I think I’d prefer the configurability of a data field option, which would probably involve fewer button presses If there was a dedicated waypoint data screen and I could customize it, I’d definitely use that. But in general I don’t like Suunto’s approach of mixing navigation specific data fields with other data fields on regular data screens. I didn’t like that for two reasons I don’t like having unused data fields when navigation isn’t used. I also don’t like an idea of having a special sport customization just for the case when I use navigation. In my opinion, navigation specific data should only be visible when I use navigation and otherwise be hidden. Garmin solved that by allowing users to customize navigation specific data screens that only show up during navigation. My eyesight isn’t that great anymore so I don’t like having a lot of data fields on each data screen (4 or 5 at max), which means with only 3 data screens I can’t even afford to waste some of the space for navigation specific data fields like distance to next waypoint or ETA. I used that in the past with Suunto 9, but would definitely prefer a cleaner solution. When I used Garmin. I always enabled the “Up Next” feature, which is a dedicated data screen that shows up to 4 upcoming waypoints with their names, symbols, and remaining distances to them.

@Tami999 thank you for the tip !

Trying to see if the bug is related to Vertical 2 only, I used my Vertical Solar yesterday and the same bug occurred (all external sensors were connected and the activity was active - no pause). This time the Suunto App managed to send logs - 06.03.2026 at 15:08 CET. Interestingly the Vertical 2 - during the same exercise - recorded the external HR without an issue. Both were connected concurrently to Polar H10 and Vertical Solar in addition also to a bike power meter. @isazi @brad_olwin - could you please open a ticket for this bug with Suunto (if it hasn’t been reported already).

@SergioB yes you’re right, it’s there (quite small). But I can swear I didn’t see it the first time.

Hey everyone! Glad to announce that Live Groups is finally in the early preview stage, and you can try it out right now. You don’t even need the latest version to get started. Group setup can be done entirely through the web interface. Here is all you need to do: Connect your Suunto account in the app. Confirm your email via your web profile (don’t worry, I won’t send any spam). Create a group and manually add your partners. You can also invite people via an invite link, but that’s currently only available in the TestFlight version. You able to add to group any user with linked Suunto account The link to watch the group live will look like this: live.athletica.one/live/+group-name I’ve recorded a short walkthrough video to show how it all works: https://drive.proton.me/urls/8RA2GZJHFC#3SfMbzrSV8sR And quick demo how it looks for spectators: https://drive.proton.me/urls/0NXMP4BV1R#zxaE0CLPdcwh Since this feature is in early access, I would be REALLY grateful for any feedback! Let me know how it works for you or your club.

@Zdeněk-Hruška Thanks for the information, I sold my race 2, just before the last update from Stryd. I tested some other watches, Polar , Apple WU3 and I think I Will be going back to Suunto V2. So I hope it will work normal again

Your watch might be tracking naps incorrectly if your RHR isn’t updated to match your current fitness.

I’d like to take this opportunity to ask a question: do these alerts sound on yours? Mine only gets a faint vibration (it would be nice if it also notified you when you leave Zonesense zones).

@herlas Thanks a lot for your hint. Found and happy now. Have a good weekend

Bonjour je vous rassure c 'est toujours le cas sur la run en mars 2026

@Adrian.S agree on treadmill elavation gain, would be nice if one could edit it on the watch after the run, like distance but at least we have elevation gain in the app now for treadmill, so step by step.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Possibly. I haven’t used the Garmin 840 in a long time, so maybe this feature is available in more expensive models or has been introduced in an update.

@Divingpassion Full support for showing actual Bar under 30. The Cobra stopped showing under 10, the EON also stops u der 30 to display then remainig tank pressure.

I am really glad to see this browser option from Suunto! Quick question about the Route Collection functionality. Is it possible to see all routes in a collection on the basemap at once? I am planning a multi-day trip and would like to see the option to have multiple routes visible at a time. In my case, I am trying to separate my routes by day.

@Nandodiver i’m a 3-star CMAS diver. for training purposes, we dive to a maximum depth of 42 meters. they said that due to Suunto issues, their sensors were unreliable, but I really liked the Nautic S, especially its visible screen and design. thank you very much.
