@safari Agreed whole heartedly! I honestly long for those days again—I miss the old 5 button design sometimes! But, in the decade we’re in now, I would LOVE to have an ambit/traverse style watchface, with date at the top (date and day of the week included!), big centered time with no seconds, and the one editable field at the bottom. The Race watchface is fairly close I guess…but the simplicity was just so good…

@Ars-Vitae I can appreciate that, but — the goal of cramming more and more sports to control some narrative about the value of a product’s features (I’m a product guy - so live this every day) is a disservice to your customers/users. The fact that there are ~100 “sports”, why? Then 90+% are half-arse attempts at supremacy in some Hunger Games-like marketing push rather than service and value to the user. I get it - but - I can’t accept “Suunto isn’t designed for pool swimmers” if the brand publishes specific feature updates and messaging around said sport, it’s invested resources and should support the sport. The watch is capable, and I do more than just swim, but FFS, a new icon and name that utilizes the exact feature set scores of times repeatedly to infer capability, is not a great approach. So, in appreciation of the “other sports,” and your assumptions that’s all I do, the brand could simply acknowledge the realities rather than hide behind a lack of information. Don’t get me wrong, I really like my V2, but ignorance is not bliss.

@simspi I believe Bluetooth devices are a problem in general with Suunto. Today I was cycling with a race a and a Suunto chest strap and sensor. After an hour, the sensor just stops. At home, starting a new activity and the sensor connects immediately. So the sensor works. Can’t tell if the sensor is Failing or the watch. Very stupid that these simple things can’t even work consistently. [image: 1776803327309-img_7779.jpeg]

I’ve had the same issue, I posted about it in another thread. Really looking forward to this being fixed as it’s my favourite watchface by far, unfortunately unreadable right now. For me it was fine until last week [image: 1776328672991-after.jpg] Not a biggie but I do agree it would be great if in time the top two fields (temperature & battery) became customisable in the future

Hi, To contribute to the thread, today I did a mountain bike ride with my Race 2 Titanium and a Garmin 530. The difference was only 40 meters: Race 2, 30.98km vs Garmin 530, 31.02km. Regards

@dreamer_ said in Minimal watchface (feedback): Ocean has seconds Right, that’s why I’ve been using it since I got the watch in May 2025. I need seconds. Weirdly enough, shortly after I installed it, the preview picture in the Watch face store lost the seconds. 🤨 I didn’t know whether the watch face was updated, removing the seconds, but if you still see them, that means that current version still has them. Maybe someone with inside info can inquire why the preview pic in S+ store does not show the seconds.

solved*

@larrybbaker that is verry strange. I have had the watch since release and what I can remember it has never worked. But I could be wrong. And yes I have tried everything.

) Nuova watchface. Grazie Suunto!

@zanxion I’m just here to say any change in functionality is preferable configurable, When I bought my watch, on the map screen the datafield showed the distance to next turn. For me that was logical and usable. With a next firmware update this was changed to distance to end. For me, that doesn’t make sense. I know when I arrive at my destination but don’t know the turns. I asked Suunto why they made the change. Support said someone suggested it, so they changed it. With the last update they finally made it user configurable, so everyone can be happy. And yes, the detect activity while on pause really doesn’t work well.

@Stoke80 yes

@Manuel-Extreme There are 3 things Should the the watch always record data even if it can determine the data is incorrect? No Should suunto look into crashes? Yes Am I less concerned with loosing some heart rate data than you? Yes. My original reply is about the first point. But since it is an important point for you I will no longer capture your topic. (Btw, I was not able to reproduce your steps on my race 2, so it could be model specific)

Suunto Software update Q1 (2.53.42) maybe later…

@sazzas i asked for this feature to be improved and take inti account our cycle phases such as pain atc…

Seems like this is quite a common issue. I had same experience where watch rebooted total 3 times in my run… did some troubleshooting with support team and they got me to return my device for repair …

@thibault-b. Good job !!! I test the last version today. It seems perfect all information I need size … thanks !
