Well, I just tried out the custom multisport mode. It was a bust—the watch didn’t detect the switch between running and swimming. I’ll try switching modes manually. It’s losing its appeal… It might have something to do with not switching modes, but the open-water track is full of glitches. I didn’t have this problem during my other open-water sessions. [image: 1779466631129-nage.png] I didn’t zigzag that much, though I’ll admit I don’t always swim in a straight line .

said in Suunto Spark: I did not comment but I’m testing my Spark. So feedback post: Sound quality is really good. Build quality is very nice. They feel really premium. Not so good things: The touch is too sensitive. I have disabled by default the “one click” Audio notifications are exactly the same as without the Spark. I knew that, but I didn’t expect the latin american spanish for Spain. Metrics are not integrated with the watch. I think the S+ app should have two more options: An option to toggle on/off things like navigation audio indications, so users can decide if they want the navigation audio indications (which are very useful in several cases). For that, Suunto should implement the feature (which is still missing). An option to toggle on/off to use the metrics taken from the Spark’s pedometers in the main activity in the watch. I mean, to not have 2 activities in the app (watch and spark). Something similar that what happens when you are using a chest/arm strap. Only one activity with the much better bpm taken from the chest/armstrap, not two activities. Something similar happens here with the Spark, since you have 2 additional pedometers that are going to work a lot better than something that is taken from a watch that is in one moving arm. For someone that made the effort of buying the Spark, I see this as an important software bug that should be solved. Having 2 individual activities has not sense (at all). Ideally: Go further with a firmware update for using the pedometers of the spark for indoor/treadmill runs, if possible of course. Things like voice notes while on workout (if possible). Just those little things for making the Spark a must and a perfect companion. About the voice things. Garmin, Amazfit and since this May, now Coros are working seriously on this. This is Coros’ May update: https://eu.coros.com/stories/coros-metrics/c/may-2026 It is very interesting for several scenarios (I.E, running with gloves in winter but see Coros notes). I think the Spark have a lot of potential here and Suunto should really think in the integration as an ecosystem. There are many use cases considering also the integrated pods. There’s a lot of marketing with these things, but at the end Suunto is behind the rest and the integration thing is somehow super interesting considering Suunto has it’s own headsets.

@sky-runner thank you for the info I am going to do few test, I have done multiple runs using external HRM and it seems that the watch does not provide me with lactate threshold estimation. Its says to complete 3 outdoor runs which i did. Also its looks like the zones are correct but I will do some upgrades with tymewear sensors and see how it goes but definitely adjusting to the new calculation system takes a toll. Thanks

@dreamer_ @dreamer_ said in Race 2 accuracy: @Joaquin this is very interesting. Btw, it’d be really nice if you could also add the Race S to the test (not for the shots here but to have internal tests for you now you are doing all this work) and also switch the position of all watches several times in the arm, so you know what are exactly the measurings of all watches in the very same position. I know it means many runs but it also means that you have the very same references several times for all (I think). Thank you so much for this. Race S is super accurate device is a small but powerful machine.

@Feissty Maybe a trivial question: Have you enabled location services on your smartphone, and does the Suunto app also have permission to access your location? At least on Android — unfortunately, I can’t say how it works on Apple devices. A simple test is to tap the map icon at the bottom of the list in the Suunto app. You should then see your location displayed on the map. [image: 1779457690263-screenshot_20260522_153607_suunto.jpg]

@Nelson-Diogo thanks Are there people that use an iPhone? Thanks

@jthomi After a few weeks of difficult charging, my 9PP has completely stopped charging for the past two days. I’m hesitant to switch to Garmin, mainly because of the overly sporty look of their mid-range watches, and because I don’t really want to, nor do I have the time to, familiarize myself with a new interface, although I would greatly appreciate having more feedback in interval training (number of intervals, # remaining, beep for the target adjusted at each step). I finally ordered a Race S somewhat out of desperation. I know the GPS and heart rate accuracy will be better than on the 9PP, but I would have preferred to wait for a newer version. Who knows, maybe a Race 2S? I know that the 9PP and the Race S share the same charger. If by some miracle I can charge my old Watch, I’ll return the whole thing, simply order a new charger, and see how the models evolve in the coming year.

@suuntastic totally agree with your comment about the phony watch.

Holly crap ! Just realized i’ve missed the third anniversary of my SV ! I Hope 6 days later is not too late !!! HB Precious SV 1 !! It’s been plenty of adventures and keeps going like on first day with a bunch of updates ! (By the way : it’s still not possible to filter among watches used in statistics section, so can’t tell how much I really used it. A lot, for sure !)

@dreamer_ You were right: Pace 4 - black crystal and cloud white. https://x.com/corosjapan/status/2057639416659947996?s=46

@2b2bff said in Sync Sleep and HRV data to TrainingPeaks: @JSampson wished you had read the thread properly. As Runalyze can get the data it seems like an incomplete implementation of the Suunto API at TrainingPeaks… So, Suunto isn’t to be blamed - in this case… Also Intervals.icu gets all the data, Sleep, HRV, Resting HR…

@peegee If you loaded a route, the % displayed on guidance screen is the average slope on remaining distance of the climb. If you are using climb app, the % is the “current” slope (based on last seconds or X meters - don’t know the exact calculation method used - maybe already mentionned on the forum).

I have the same issue. I sent watch data to Suntoo. I want to ask, does factory reset remove my own intervals?

No day without another new vibecoded service. This one is at least more-Suunto specific, not yet another “I made MCP server so you can connect Claude to your Suunto data” (then repeat spam post for Garmin/Coros/etc.) It’s great that people are doing various services, but seems like LLM made this so easy that people not thinking enough about the implications. Vibecode first, market second, reasoning later if ever. But yeah, already think on making paid options What’s the point of the service? What it adds in comparison with Suunto App? Majority of the users sync their Suunto Watch with Suunto App, so even if some third-party service can extract and upload watchfaces, they will likely by overwritten when user sync his watch to SA. Or if they care to change IDs then you can end up with duplicates. And I can continue with other questions, like what happens if Suunto do changes to WF API/format. Then you can break something in the watch using third-party service like this. Find out how to make custom WF? OK, same as above, the fact that you can find out, doesn’t mean it’s good - maybe Suunto is not releasing it because it’s not yet ready for general audience and risky to break the watch. All in all, for the author: good catch to reverse engineer the protocol, for ordinary users: beware.

@cosme.costa said in Strap/Band color suggestion for 90th Anniversary Edition: I do not agree that Suunto’s textile strap is low quality. There are two reasons why I wrote that: The metal clasp at the end of the strap fell off within a few weeks. I was able to fix it back with pliers, but that felt cheap! it came with 2 straps included - a short one and a long one. Well, the short one was too short and the long one was borderline too long. After a couple of months of wearing it, the strap lose a little bit of elasticity that it had and stretched out, so now it was way too long for my wrist. Also, because there no longer was any elastisticity, sometimes it felt uncomfortable on multi-hour trail runs. My wrists aren’t meaty. In comparison, the 90th anniversary strap feels so much more comfortable. It is very similar to Garmin Ultrafit strap too that I used for several years in the past.

As it might help someone else that stumbles on the same problem… At least for me it was this Win11 setting that changed things for the better: [image: 1779361611853-34c5e7c4-b6da-4083-9a1f-d14850795012-image.png] Seems stupid in hindsight, but I was not aware that Default only identifies low-power connectivity Bluetooth devices. Happy days! no I will be able to test my apps!

not a priority, but it would be nice
