@DrSilverthorn There are some ways to experiment. What I do: I import the race gpx-file I add waypoints on the route where there is something important. in the title I say something like for an aid station “church - 1300 - Warm food” I make a custom sports mode where I designate one datafield for ETA of next route point. That way I’ll see it during the race. I’m not sure how many characters the title may be to be shown on your watch. There are some effects you don’t want: If they change the route due to heavy weather, you have to work out aid stations again. the hill guide change when you zoom in. Instead of showing only one climb, it shows the route till the next waypoint. If you use the description, it won’t be shown on your watch. I haven’t test this during a race yet, only in training. Hope to test this in may

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos So far I have not recorded any activities and therefore no fit files available. Maybe someone else can help. Yesterday, when I set up the Karoo, I have amended the Zones on the device to the same as I have on my Suunto watch. Curious to see if / how that works.

@2b2bff Yes, you read that correctly. Anyways, Suunto support stated that I should upgrade to a Race 2 and they would give me a credit to do so. I reluctantly did, and I got my shiny new Suunto Race 2 and re-created all my custom intervals within the app. Guess what - exactly the same outcome. The watch will display the warm-up (i.e. 10 minutes at 130-140 bpm) but it will NOT display anything beyond that (i.e. recover, interval 1, recovery, cool down, etc.). The watch will “blink” but nothing is displayed on the watch. What gives?

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.

@OutdoorMan I agree on the first two! About the third, not sure if I have understood correctly, but on my Race1 I have the interval counter in the Guides created with Suunto App I mean, on the watch, at the top of the interval screen during the activity with the guide enabled, I can see “1/5 interval” if I’m of the first planned rep (out of 5)

@Finnjf After 2 runs with the Vertical 2 I can confirm that while the difference is not that prominant it still is a bit more close to what I’ve known with other watches. And the GPS track looks so freaking good - aligned with where I ran almost in centimeters. This is of course with the weather being sunny these past 2 days. I’ll run tomorrow again with the Race 2 on a nice weather and compare.

@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.

@Mff73 In my opinion, the negative interpretation often depends on the stress level of the person reading. Firmware updates are something many of us users really look forward to, because besides fixing bugs they also bring improvements that let us enjoy our devices even more. Over the past weeks I’ve submitted several feature suggestions (like the one about customizable alarms and notifications), confirmed bugs reported by other users, and reported a few that I personally found. I also went back and read some older posts from two or three years ago, and many of the suggested features keep appearing again over time. So I’m not sure the next updates will actually resolve or improve that much. Still, as a user I hope they will, and as a fan I’m always curious and a bit impatient to see what the next update will bring.

@matteo_000 I am also a little upset by this behavior after my first spring ride with the new Vertical 2 ️ Special display/map setting for bike would definitely be very beneficial.

@maszop, hi! I also see dropped connections every now and then that reconnect and they are per sensor but in the cases described above the sensors do not reconnect even after extended time and they all drop.

@Christoph-Van-Laethem In here the bubble appears : https://www.suunto.com/fr-fr/Assistance/ I realized that the bubble doesn’t come on when using my main browser (Firefox), probably due to the ad blockers I added, so i use Edge only for Suunto support

@MikeC30 said in My Vertical 2 Wishlist for Next Update in 2026: More detail when zoomed out on the maps at 1, 2 and 5km would be really helpful. Particularly some contour lines to give an idea of the terrain and some points of interest like hill summits. Well, for now we don’t even have trails when zooming out beyond 200m, although reportedly some improvements are coming soon. And while we are there, please improve the contrast so that trails aren’t rendered as dark green on light green. Please render trails with black color on the default map and with other higher contrast colors on other types of maps! Or least least make them wider lines. Seeing summits on the map would be great!

@multisport76 check for cycling sports mode, then it has subsets, you’ll see cycling power in there. Or just create a new one and add power-related fields and off you go

@Christoph-Van-Laethem said in Styd update Sync Vertical 2: linking the Stryd is not always possible: it keeps asking for the crank length OMG, this is still not resolved? Good thing I abandoned the idea of getting Stryd.

Hi everyone, I am experiencing similar issues on my Suunto Race since a few weeks. The heart rate is often too low (so far only observed while running), sometimes there are sudden jumps after a while. When using an external heart rate sensor, it works. What you should do if you experience the same: Contact Suunto Support! Only then they will now about it. I did this and they told me they are currently not aware of such an issue, but will investigate. They also asked me to upload my log files via the mobile app and will check them. The more people report this, the higher chance that this gets fixed soon. You can find their support chat directly on www.suunto.com by clicking on ‘Support’ at the top and then using the chat on the bottom right.

@reijervanrijsbergen I’m having the exact same issue. It’s further complicated by GNSS jamming. I’ve noticed that once the heart rate signal is lost, it doesn’t always recover, even when the watch is worn directly on my wrist rather than over a jacket. Coros HRM + Suunto Race S.

@Nandodiver said in In Backcountry skiing it sucks!!!: @Brad_Olwin 220 minus age that’s the official method largely used for more than 30 years More recently in 2023 some endurance athletes start using the “Nes formula” 220 minus age: 220 - 60 = 160 bpm Nes formula: 211 - (0.64 × 60) = 211 - 38.4 ≈ 173 bpm Most of those formulas are poor, it does not matter how long they have been used. Typically the subjects the formulas are based on are sedentary or do not exercise much. Second, max HR is highly genetically determined and variable. For me the formulas give numbers that would severely negatively impact my training. Max HR should be determined by training if possible. There have been many posts here and I see on Apple forums where individuals are exercising for 60 min or more in Z5.

Suunto please look into this. Give an option to turn off buzz on connect maybe? I’m getting a bunch on my new PP9 and seem to have no reason for them. Supper wasn’t helpful

@ahstreak Bonjour je viens d acquérir une suunto run depuis vendredi dernier les cadrans y sont bien mais pas synchronisables. J ai dialogué hier avec un gars du support suunto il m a répondu que l application mobile avait des problèmes de synchronisation. J espère que cela va être resolu car ça commence mal pour moi avec ce produit . Je m interroge sur la fiabilité de cette application . Je souhaite que tout se passe pour le mieux ensuite car pour l instant je suis déçu du produit.
