@Joaquin said in Race 2 accuracy: @dreamer_ you should be Suunto tester ️‍ I’d love that. I’m super happy with my Vertical 2 Joaquin. It’s a fantastic device and super accurate in everything. Thanks!

@Joaquin said in Several navigation issues (feedback): @dreamer_ Run is a different platform compared to the other Suunto watches, even with its own dedicated R&D, so it’s normal to see noticeable differences in certain areas. The focus of Run is to be Suunto’s entry-level offering, mainly targeted at road runners who occasionally practice other sports. The goal behind Run is to provide an affordable watch for users who are not 100% outdoor-focused, allowing them to experience the Suunto ecosystem at a more accessible price point. If they enjoy the experience, they can later move up to the more “premium” lineup such as the Suunto Race S, Suunto Vertical 2, Race 2, and so on. As an outdoor user myself, I completely understand your concerns and I even share some of them. However, I think we also need to carefully differentiate the entry-level Run range from the more advanced models. Let’s see what surprises a future Run 2 may bring. Regarding the turns, this only happens to you with Komoot, right? With routes created directly in the Suunto app, everything works perfectly? I tested the Run using the route created with Komoot’s algorythms. That’s the key of my post (no matter if I was using the Run or my Vertical 2 Titanium, since I used Komoot’s algorythms for creating the GPX with TBT indications). About the issue, you are right. It seems created by Komoot and it happens in both my Vertical 2 and my wife’s Run. It’s very clear Joaquin. In fact, Komoot’s support confirmed the offset is created by them. There are also several things I was talking , like missing the final part in that route because Komoot’s issue or wrong Climb notifications because Komoot does a pre/post-processing of the routes, affecting the performance of the navigation to several things. But if you want TBT in a route that is already created (I.E, a GPX track provided by a race organization) , at this moment. you need to use Komoot. In my opinion, now you have a super nice tool like Route Planner, I’d be incredible nice if all the algorythms are made by Suunto instead of using Komoot’s.

@Elad-Solomon absolutely normal, fitness level at beginning starts very high, then decreases before it’s stabilized depending on your load As exemple my first 6month when training load was introduced and the past 6 month below [image: 1779516643886-img_1803.jpeg] [image: 1779516747299-img_1804.jpeg]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos have just uploaded logs, but the run in question was 2 runs ago. Vertical 2. customised run mode. run randomly ended early, but saved the run. result in app was missing distance & gps trace, missing total ascent/descent, missing pace zone info. gps trace up to that point was ok, including altitude data. custom run mode had: navigation off, battery on performance, touch on, S+ zonesense on, S+ HR zone duration on, S+ last km on, wrist HR on but HR strap (Coospo) connected

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.

@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.
