    @Łukasz-Szmigiel Your application is truly useful. I hope Suunto will support you on the hardware side as well — your work deserves to be integrated into the ecosystem.

    A bit of follow-up: Today I did a local 50k race which includes 3 different loops to the top of the mountain with a shared descent, a shared aid station at the top, and a shared aid station at the bottom. Here is how it looks like. [image: 1778377115267-screenshot-2026-05-09-at-6.37.23-pm.png] Obviously, I wanted a single GPX route for the entire race to track the climbing and not have to mess with the watch during the race. Also I wanted to track the distances to the aid stations. Overall, Climbing guidance v3 worked satisfactory and was helpful but it wasn’t without issues: Issue #1. When I imported the the GPX file from the race website, I was unable to place waypoints on the route so that a single waypoint covered multiple distances The waypoint (aid station) at the bottom is visited 4 times at various distances and the waypoint at the top is visited 3 times at various distances. I just couldn’t make that work. Whenever I tried to place a waypoint it was inserted for just one randomly picked distance on the route. Finally I decided to just re-draw the entire route from scratch in Suunto App, and only after that placing a single waypoint would make it match multiple distances as shown on the elevation profile above. That’s what I wanted from the beginning. I don’t know what is the difference, but I suspect when a route gets imported it probably gets simplified and loses resolution (the number of points along the route). It seems that there is no interpolation of segments between route points, which would explain this issue. I saw some evidence of the low resolution because some parts of the imported route looked like straight squiggly lines, but when I create the same route in Suunto App it looks far more precise. By the way, that isn’t a problem in Strava. When I import the same GPX route in Strava, it doesn’t lose resolution. Issue #2 - The same as already covered above. When Suunto App finally managed to insert waypoints, when that applied to turnarounds, it ended up creating multiple waypoints at a short distance (a few meters) from each other. As I explained above, that was a problem for zooming the elevation profile, which now didn’t work as expected. It is nearly impossible to insert a single waypoint at a turnaround because the app simple doesn’t have enough precision. Issue #3 - For the most part the watch was able to stick to the planned route even thought the route is very complex with multiple shared parts. However in the beginning of the 3rd loop it decided to switch me to another loop - the one that I had already finished. I am pretty sure I followed the route perfectly, so there was absolutely no reason for it to switch. I could see that because it notified me about a wrong climb (the wrong climb elevation gain). Then, after I continued on the correct loop - the one that was planned in the route - after a few minutes the watch corrected itself. Issue #4 - The most zoomed-in climbing guidance view - the one that shows individual climbs - was messed up again. I didn’t normally look at it during the race, but at least on one occasion it showed me on a descent when I was in fact climbing. This issue has already been discussed above.

    @sindavide I’ve had somewhat similar problems at times (intermittent charging, or worse, intermittent data connection with computer, with my Suunto Run). One big solution has been to clean the watch contacts, as oils from skin can buildup on the metal, making for a poor connection quality to the cable. Cleaning is as simple as a quick scrub of the contacts with a damp (warm water) cotton swab and drying THOROUGHLY before connecting to power. Using hand soap in that process helps every so often too. Definitely been a better experience since I started doing that…

    @dreamer_ said in My Vertical 2 Wishlist for Next Update in 2026: Better integration with Spark: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/15018/suunto-spark/ And Aqua. Basically treat them as the chest strap is treated: sync and merge after, the code already exists afterall. Stops it being a marketing exercise of a feature and into something useful.

    @AYamshanov ah this is great: we share a mindset and a hobby! Making sense of compiled firmware is is challenging, to say the least, I’m not shy at sending Claude with a headless Ghidra session when I’m short on time.

    @Thlcd great comparison. I also have noticed that the last update, although full of bugs and battery eating, greatly improved the wrist HR on the Race S. Previously I only used the HR chest strap, but after reading comments here I gave it a chance for walking and body building – for biking the watch is on the handlebar, so I need the strap. Well, after a few tries, I have to say that finally it seems that it works well!

    I received an update on the matter after contacting Suuntos support team. After shipping off all my logs and specifications, I received this: *As per the reply from our technical team, we recommend restarting the watch before exercising and trying to use fewer Suunto Plus apps during activities. Please note that this issue has already been identified and is expected to be addressed in the next software update.*

    @isazi said in Suunto Software update Q1 (2.53.42): This is a good time to remember people that if you have issues and properly report them, they can be fixed in time for next release. Option to turn off that dotted ring on a map. Two effects Declutter the map, especially after adding the icons No more confusing the ring with a trail

    @2b2bff said in Min. Sleep HR too high?: @raven I know it shows the same issue, therefore I picked it… Those Min HR fields are actually buttons that show a line in the graph for the selected data. So, you can see whether the graph is below or above that line. Haha didn’t mean to imply you didn’t know you had the issue; it was just more musing to myself that I’m clearly not alone in this. I did seem to have missed that selecting it as a button turns on a line which is useful and clearly shows a few points in my graphs where the graph is going under the line. Thanks. I guess at this point my questions are more “does it work the way I’d expect it to for anyone or is what we’re seeing a universal truth in Suunto app/devices,” as well as “is there a good reason for this behavior I’m missing.” Have a good weekend!

    @vinterben yeah you should give it at least two weeks 24/7 for resources to get better. Recovery includes even more metrics and is more of a long term metric. And you can have high resources and low recovery and the other way around.

    @jmlee I’m sorry it didn’t work. I’ll ask a friend if he’ll let me try it with his 9PP and let you know.

    @Beardkowski said in Suunto only a brand for runners?: Suunto only advertises with and for runners. What about mountain bikers and road cyclists? A bit more advertising for cycling would be nice, too. Or is Suunto solely a brand for runners? Many cyclists use a bike computer like a Wahoo ELMENT or Garmin Edge and Suunto doesn’t make any of those, but do have a partnership with Hammerhead Karoo. https://us.suunto.com/blogs/blog/how-to-use-karoo-2-bike-computer-with-suunto https://www.hammerhead.io/blogs/teamjournal/see-the-adventure-ahead-with-suunto While one can connect a cycling power meter to a Suunto watch and get the data that way, it’s likely not perceived as quite as good as a bike computer option.

    @Александр-Галюк Здравствуйте, Александр. Скажите пожалуйста, у вас получилось решить проблему с загрузкой карт? Я не могу скачать на race s, в основном пытался раздать vpn трафик через точку доступа, ни с телефона ни с виндовс не загружает карты, при том что с виндовс я смог раздать vpn через хот спот своему телефону и у меня получилось, т.е. не включая впн на самом телефоне, смог зайти на ютуб например и все видосы подгружались. Но часы тем не менее не хотят качать карты. Читал информацию что часы подключаются по какому-то примитивному принципу, и так как телефон умно не умеют, обходить блокировки. Приложения разные которые советуют на телефон скачать для раздачи, пробовал и ни о чем. В общем, интересно что вы скажете
