@Steven-Hambleton said in Race Flow & MonoEdge: Have Suunto only licensed tiny fonts for their watch faces? Other brands manage to make readable complications and other things. Maybe they got inspired by Fenix 8 release last year. Major complaint after release, was tiny unreadable complications on ALL default watch faces. 🧐 At least here, you have more usable options if you find these fonts too small.

@Stavrogin said in Battery consumption on Vertical 2: Basically the watch is running a Bluetooth discovery mode all the time looking for new devices to connect to. I think this actually controls Bluetooth visibility of the watch. The watch itself is not looking to connect to anything. Discovery needs to be ON, in order to do the initial pairing of the Suunto app with the watch. This should be disabled afterwards so the watch is not visible to Bluetooth beacons for privacy reasons. If the watch is scanning / connecting to paired sensors outside of activities, that is a firmware bug that has nothing to do with the Discovery switch.

@VoiGAS The last two winters I used Race 1 for alpine skiing and ski touring. Absolutely no issues whatsoever.

@GratefulDeadpan I’m sorry! I remember that when I bought the watch, I forgot to turn off the power saving feature, so the daily heart rate was completely missing. It’s strange because 10 minutes is the default heart rate sampling interval. I’m quite confused now, so I’ll double-check and let you know. Unless something has changed in the meantime or my memory is faulty

@Stefano-M64 bummer, doesn’t seem like it’s widespread enough to get attention or maybe people don’t realize it.

@Tami999 My watch had the same behaviour. I reverted back to the former version 2.46.4 which was ok. Then I updated to the latest 2.46.14. Since then it seems ok. I am testing it. No luck. The issue is still here. Which one to choose? Not recording heart rate or not responding buttons. Both happened to my watch.

@Manuel-Extreme said in Suunto Vertical 2 General Discussion: @Brad_Olwin & @Egika Thanks for the replies, but actually the firmware is still quite unstable, at least on my watch, despite the update. the HR sensor randomly turns off and to turn it back on I have to lift the sensor from my wrist and place it back on my skin. This happens several times a day. when I activate button lock, after about 15 minutes I can’t deactivate it anymore and I have to restart the watch The Always On Display setting gets randomly disabled even with full battery. I’m eagerly awaiting a bugfix update. I use the watch a lot for testing, monitoring SpO2, HR, sleep, doing 3-4 training sessions a day, changing sport modes to check the data, etc. I don’t know if these bugs only happen to me because of the intensive use I make of the sportwatch, but they shouldn’t happen anyway… First, which firmware are you on? Second, the HR sensor should not be turning off. Do you have 24/7HR monitoring turned on? The button lock issue should have been fixed as well as the HR, which is why I asked about firmware version. AOD should not be going off.

@Egika Now it works. Don’t know what was wrong. Thx.

Im having an issue where the battery life became terrible after the latest upadate. it uses up to 40% in 12 hours in watch mode. Same result in battrey saver mode. Depsite having almost every feature turned. I’ve tried to reset to factory, restart, resync but all to no avail. I’m on 2.40.56.

I’ve also tried unpairing all Bluetooth devices and changing the watch face, but the result is the same… I can see there are now reports about the Vertical 2 as well, so I really hope they’re working on a solution.

@Frederick-Rochette I have about the same experience. 100% at midnight 95% when I woke up at 6am 89% when I got back from work at 4:30pm Aod on, medium brightness, 2x6min bikerides for commuting Notification turned on but not connected to my phone during work hours. I upgraded from my Garmin Fenix 6 to get better battery life, not worse…

@OutdoorMan noted and thank, This topic really needs to be fixed urgently. It’s unbelievable that they’re still leaving it like this without fixing it.

@Jervin-Reyes Does it track your sleep & HRV and just no morning report, or no metrics at all?

@Piotr-Grygiel unfortunatelly it is not possible. It is mentioned in user manual but for me there was no such option. It was fixed in other models lately so i hope for bugfix soon.

This is insane. I remember 9PP had an issue measuring HR when off the wrist, then it was fixed in 2024. And now they are back to square 1. Most likely they could’t reuse any of the OHR sensor code from 9PP due to different hardware and are writing it from scratch making the same mistakes. ‍️

@kurtpenter I use a s9pp and had the same issue when using the stryd app. In that case I don’t connect the stryd pod in the settings menu. Instead the watch connect to the stryd pod by itself when I activate the stryd-app within the training options (the menu you see before you start your sport mode/exercise). Maybe that can help you.

@kurtpenter thanks but no dice… I did reply to that thread as it looks like something I’ve experienced also Today’s easy run and I’m still getting wrist power. I guess I’ll try to unpair and re-pair the pod with the watch. Annoying! And Race 2 prices even second hand are too steep for me to try switching to newer watch. This issue was tolerable for a few months. It’s just this week it seems to be persistent instead of “once every few weeks”.

@enriqueescoms said in Imagine if Courtney Dauwalter was still wearing the 9PP: Well, I just contacted the support service (which was fast and efficient this time) and they told me, regarding the touchscreen bug, the following: “Hi! We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. This is a known issue, but our internal team is working on a permanent solution. While we don’t have a specific resolution date yet, we assure you this is a priority and we hope to resolve it as soon as possible. We hope to have everything back to normal this week.” Wow, I appreciate that the developers are working on it and that a solution is expected to be found in the short term. I pray for that Oh my God! Well, it wasn’t that week, nor the next, nor does it seem like this one… Anyway, resignation and faith.

@Martin-Vrska said in Update: Returning My Vertical 2: @Luis-Andés-Olmedo I understand, but I don’t understand. I switched from Vertical 1 to Vertical 2 and when I put both machines next to each other, I can’t believe I could look at the V1 display - the colors are somewhere completely different. The endurance with my 3 hours of training per week, sleep tracking and connection to my mobile is more than a week and the screen experience is incomparable. Let me explain: with AOD OFF, the AMOLED display is too slow to turn on in certain situations, or it simply doesn’t let me see the time without moving my hand. With AOD ON, I feel like it’s artificial to have the watch emitting light all the time in everyday life; I just don’t like it. Maybe I’m too old-school. In any case, I hope I won’t need a watch with maps (that is the main reason why I have a smart-sports-watch) when MIP watches are no longer available. Then I’ll be able to train with any Casio or TIMEX Ironman.
