Love the new beta, finally one can add Ascent to Treadmill runs 🤩

@wakarimasen said in Race 2: GPS, cadence and distance accuracy vs previous Suunto models: I bow to your greater GPS knowledge! Uhmm, irony? As I mentioned, I’m wondering if Suunto have down something on the post processing side, to change the output from previous watches. The other point however, is that it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that this new data may actually be more correct than the previous one. This is the problem with comparing devices and not having an accurate reference. No violence from my side - just curiosity, with a hefty slice of realism I completely agree. I’m very realistic about the GPS capabilities of a device worn on the wrist. and I haven’t cuestioned the ‘absolute’ accuracy of the devices. When I run ~10K I really don’t know if I’ve run 10,2km or 9,8km but I can compare numbers in different devices as a reference. And that’s the point (and the title) of the topic: “relative accuracy vs previous Suunto models” because it seems that this concrete model has a “different calibration” that shows different measures (relatively to the other models of the same brand with similar recorded GPS data). This is the origin of my curiosity, because comparison is not against Garmin, or Coros, or Polar, is against “brand brothers” which show different output information with similar recorded input information and I suposse that Suunto has his own references and tests to measure “accuracy” That said, I still use the Race 2 daily, I still use it in my activities, I’ve adjusted my “expectations” regarding pace (around 3-4 seconds per kilometer) and I enjoy it, and that’s it.

Here is the first tread about this Problem. https://forum.suunto.com/post/183088

@sky-runner yes i know. The Other tread Starts Yesterday. Perhaps link there to this tread

@PIPA44800 Try another new battery, try with another app or watch, and last chance, Suunto support. Maybe some warranty is possible.

@matteo_000 you can enable AOD in sport mode settings. Than it works. But battery is drained faster at least on Race 2.

@Brad_Olwin thank you. That would be great

@Charlie-Needham known issue and Suunto is aware, no idea if it’ll get addressed in a future update.

@Egika said in Each Suunto Vertical 2 Limited Edition: @tikgnd If you buy the limited edition, you will receive a code you enter into SA to then enable the watch face for your other watches Hmm, I would buy the watch just for that code. Would sell good here

@el.Fakir So you would probably get sorting with votes also for good jokes, or whatever is voted in the full mess of answers (me included )

Search the forum, it was written recently that Ocean is not dead. But saying when something will be out, the answer is the usual one…

« Zero data as bad sleep »

What I’m asking for is not lower accuracy during activities, but a different operating logic between activity mode and 24/7 tracking. During activities: Keep the current strict SNR threshold. Prioritize signal quality and accuracy. If conditions are sub-optimal, the user can rely on a chest strap anyway. During 24/7 and night tracking: Use a more conservative and tolerant algorithm. Accept a slightly noisier signal instead of shutting the sensor down. Apply stronger temporal smoothing and trend-based validation rather than instant SNR rejection. Never fully disable the sensor unless there is a true hardware failure. From a user perspective, this would solve the real problem: In daily life the watch inevitably moves, rotates, and loosens. Micro-motion, skin compression, sweat, temperature changes and external contacts are normal. A minimal tattoo, as shown in the photo, is irrelevant from a physiological point of view and should not trigger a sensor shutdown. Right now the behavior is binary: Good conditions → excellent HR detection. Slightly imperfect conditions → sensor off, sometimes for hours. This is not acceptable for a device that is marketed with: 24/7 HR Sleep tracking Recovery metrics Stress and resources monitoring A more fault-tolerant logic would: Preserve all activity tracking features. Restore reliability of h24 metrics. Reduce user frustration and false “no data” periods. Align the device behavior with real-world usage. From a technical standpoint, this looks like a software policy choice, not a hardware limitation. Other manufacturers already differentiate thresholds and filters between: Workout HR Background HR Sleep HR I’m confident Suunto can do the same. I’m not asking for perfection. I’m asking for continuity instead of shutdown. Best regards.

@Squirrel It says 3.1.9

@giuliosq Wrist heart rate is highly individual. What works for you does not work for others and vice versa in all conditions. A car is designed to drive around a corner. Yet it does not what it is designed for if you try it on an icy surface.

# Suunto Request: It would be great if can you make a Switch Window “Compass View” double field. In this case we can assign it to the main screen and have the pressure + compass in a single view. The view would be perfect to hold position and check regurarly during the dive. The limited view should hold the position N/S/W/E markers and bearing indication as in the picture below.
