@brechtvb You’re right, unfortunately I didn’t pay much attention to the title… I apologize.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos unfortunately yes, power drain is a thing even if I unpaired sensors and disabled Bluetooth visibility. Something bad happened with the last 2 firmware updates on my SV1 (Finland): footpod does not work, battery drain, and dismissing notifications takes seconds. First time I complain about a FW update in years. First time I reach 4% battery. I really hope a fix comes out soon and I’m starting to think to go back to previous FWs.

@raspy you can see in the app that the % is increasing. I also find the charger very frustrating! Massive improvement with the version 2.

I find it interesting, that when “Disconnected” state appears, switching back and forth “Airplane mode” resolves issue and watch is syncing again

@Brad_Olwin Do you have any news about this? Thank you!

@VoiGAS no, I did a hard reset before the downgrade. Didn’t help.

I’ve just switched from a Garmin Forerunner 265 to the Suunto Vertical 2. I really like the Vertical, and the Suunto ecosystem is much more intuitive and informative! The only thing that annoys me is that the watch never disconnects from Bluetooth, even when I put it in flight mode. I still receive notifications, and it keeps syncing with my phone all the time. How do you completely disconnect it from the phone? I’ve tried restarting the watch. Any suggestions?

By the way, an old idea was (if I remember well) to let users be able to rename for themselves (so attached to one’s account) theses other1, other2,… Suunto would kept them as otherx type, internally , but with a specific user naming. Can’t find the post 🫣

Hi @Iraklis-Markelis, if it helps, this morning I have installed the app in another phone with an older revision of Android and the problem disappeared. I can get the phone away from the watch, put the watch in airplane mode or disable and enable Bluetooth in my smartphone and connection is re-established when conditions are met without the need to pair the watch and the Smartphone again. So it looks like the problem is related to Android version or vendor flavor. Could you tell me what is your Watch FW and Android version?. Does anyone know whats is the right way to communicate Suunto this kind of bugs?. Many thanks!

@Kowalski I have always on display on the Vertical 2. I find this works perfectly. Mine arrived today, it is so similar to the V1 the upgrade is minimal. But the Screen is so much clearer and brighter, and looks bigger. Charger just works… The button on the V2 for me feel similar if not the same as the V1. My main concern is use on the bike, I have heard testers on here saying they had no problems setting the display on the bike. I do have a wahoo so not a deal breaker but I often use the watch. One thing I can seen to find is the DND settings. It isn’t where it was on the vertical.! Logically I couldn’t really recommend updating from the V1, it a lot to pay for a colourful display and torch.

@jase2983 you described Apple Watch Series 11. I think it is only watch on market with high pressure notification and sleep apnea.

@Alpha-156.42 said in OHR: Why do people believe that optical heart rate sensors, no matter if they’re from Garmin, Apple, or other brands, can measure heart rate accurately in every situation? This is why, text directly from suunto race 2 product page: The redesigned back panel enables better heart rate measurement from the wrist. The result? A seamless, powerful training experience. But text that it doesn’t work for everyone or every skin tone is buried somewhere in usermanual only. It is same with sleeptracking or any other metric. If you sell device for 500€ and advertise that it does something, then you must expect that people will require that advertised features just works. This is overal problem of marketing, not just Suunto.

@Gunnar yes I remember it was almost 10 bits above my real heart rate, but race 2 was 25/30 yesterday evening, during all my activity And garmin epix pro 2 was spot on most of the time, same type of band same personn ( me ! ) Hoping a fix soon

@porter297 in another thread someone recently recommended to (ab)use structured workouts for this.
