The models of garmin that are testen in a scientific way (not by some sport gadget blogger) shows that hrv isn’t that accurate on those models. (See https://the5krunner.com/2026/05/05/forerunner-265-hrv-study/ , links to sources on that page) I have no reason to believe other models or other brands are more accurate.

@microniko Correct, the S+ app cannot change sport modes. While it should detect the changes it will still record only one activity. This S+ is kind of a legacy app. You can now define your own Swimrun sport mode. Please go to sport mode customization and select to create a Mulstisport activity -> Swimrun. Choose of your preferred running and swimming sport modes and select to repeat both until you stop the whole thing. It will then record a multisport activity.

@yassine-besbes If I remember correctly, the sensor indeed needs to be deleted from the watch and paired again. This came with the change in sensor management. Now I see that you have already tried to re-pair it. Have you deleted it before this? And then have you enabled the sensor in the exercise settings under “Sensor Data”?

@Steven-Hambleton haha welcome to the club And you should be proud, well done!

Are ther news about pairing more than one HR belt or bike pods ? Has a firmware update fixed this issue ?

The reason this happens is because we can avoid unrelevant / bot users spamming the votes. If you post (which you are allowed) you get a couple of votes and then you join the game. Imagine if one would upvote on silly features and be a bot

Hi everyone, I think my problem was that I had configured the screens and synced them, but when I tried the mode without GPS, it wouldn’t start the custom views, and I only had a few bits of information. Yesterday, while sorting through my data, I got my custom displays. However, now in the Suunto app view, I have no details at all… just an error message… and the Strava sync, TrainingPeaks, tells me I only ran 6km instead of 10… Ugh… you chase one problem and another pops up. But so my original problem is solved… or at least it seems so. Thanks everyone.

@Manuel-Extreme I agree that V1 still is the best watch suunto has built in recent years. what distinguishes phones from watches is, that watches do not need security updates. V1 works perfectly well with the last release. of course we see new features on V2 and R2 that would be nice to have. if I hadto decide today for a new suunto I would still go for V1.

@Mister-PYC said in A BIG BIG BIG THANKS and APLAUSE to SUUNTO Team both watch and IT designer ...: when you display the percentage of battery in a sport field, do not display the .0 but instead the %. 2 reasons for that : 43.0 or 43 means the same, so the .0 does not bring any added value, instead showing the % immediatelly remembers you that you are looking to a percentage so the percentage of … battery. it is a nanometer improvement but still one Digits after the decimal point have a meaning. 43 and 43.0 are not the same or better should not be the same: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures Perhaps in this case it means nothing if all the numbers are always ending by “.0” but if it is not the case 43.0 and 43 do/should not mean the same. I don’t have a recent SUUNTO and, in my old SUUNTO 5, the battery percentage is not available as a field. So I can’t check.

Bought my S9PP right after christmas 2022, and right now, battery life is low, some bugs like stopped OHR in the middle of the night, connection between chest strap and watch sometimes gets lost, and some other minor things, I think it may be a good plan to buy another one at the end of year. Still kinda hoping for am updated version of the watch and the form factor, because to be honest Race 2 will look to big on my arms and for wearing it 24/7 I guess it will be too big for me… I could use the S9PP for normal daily life and the Race2 for sports, but where is the point in this. Too much hassle.

@elbee hm, at least in my Vertical 2, the battery mode is not remembered. I set it to Endurance for an activity, but the next time I start this same sport mode, it starts over with Performance. @george-katsanos: Are your walks and runs so long, that the 50/60h of recording time in performance mode are not enough?

AU$200 for an LED light and a slightly bigger battery is too much for me. I’m hoping they introduce the LED to the Race line at some point, just like the Garmin have with the 970 and Venue 4.

@2b2bff Super mega thanks !!!

@isazi Hi, I want to add my point of view. I have Suunto Race and I was testing the connection today, since a big race is coming. Until now, I was not using the HR sensor for races, but now I was curious. My HR strap is unfortunately not waterproof enough to wear during the swim. Therefore, I tested, if I can connect it after the swimming part. Once I ended the swim in Triathlon sport mode, I turned on the HR strap. The watch beeped and the strap seemed connected. But, when watching the HR, once I removed it from the wrist, HR vanished. This means, even if the sensor is apparently connected, it still shows the HR data from the watch optical sensor. That’s what I am asking: Is it possible to somehow change the settings to show the HR from the strap rather than watch? Thanks!!

@olaf-gottschalk has gone silent , update us if the work around helped you?

@Feissty Was better after restarting my watch… Is it possible to manually set the location in the new tide widget? For example when I am not at the sea right now but want to monitor the tides at a chosen location…

Same here for 3 divers in my club. The Suunto App just gives an error. I tried re-pairing, reinstalling, clearing caches, data, etc.

I’ve noticed black panels of missing map areas sometimes when using the watch (vertical 2) which seems inconsistent in terms of at what zoom level it occurs, how long it takes to fill in the missing areas and when it happens. This can occur during an activity or when accessing maps from the menu. Hopefully this can be resolved in future updates. I’m sure I read of someone else having the same issue but can’t find that post anymore.
