@NeilCoxon weird with my pixel 8 pro I don’t seem to have this kind of problem

Let it rest for 1 or 2 hour after doing so and then try pairing it.

that’s the weirdest informatic “procedure” I’ve ever heard

Also I noticed that my watch is significantly slower and lagging a lot compared to before the update.

I haven’t found a solution to intall an older firmware. If there is a way please advice.

If not, I think it is in important feature to avoid the problem with not functional latest firmware.

They probably forgot to mention that we also should put our watches on the floor and walk in circles around it singing a magic chant, and preferably it should be done at night during the full moon

Watches are very individual and have their own personal characteristics and peculiarities. Every watch is different …

I had this issue on 30 March, a few days after the update.

Activity was a 40km, 9.5hr hike. It refused to sync.

After numerous soft resets, disconnecting the watch from the app, uninstalling of the app, reinstalling the app, and staring into oblivion pondering my existence and its dependence on technology, it finally synced.

Frustrating but it seems to be fine since.

This seems, to me, to be an issue with bluetooth not maintaining the connection for long enough. Hence some small activities will eventually sync but not longer ones as the connection does not continue for a long enough time.

I think that’s true - After installing latest Beta on Android, my bike ride (1:50h) won’t sync today for the first time ever. Turning off BT, starting Suunto app, closing Suunto app, turning on BT again, starting Suunto app again did the trick, syncing the workout instantly.

Yesterday, I made a short walk just for testing the sync problem. I tried several times to sync the watch with no luck. At the end I was able to sync the activity by let the SA to turn on the bluetooth from inside the program, that is:
check that BT is off
open the SA app
tap on the watch icon
then a message asks to turn on the bluetooth
I tapped the blue message bar on the bottom
then tapped allow to the following message from OS.
The sync performed seamlessly. Will try again in the afternoon after coming back form the gym.

I have the same problem. iPhone 11. Suunto Race bought it in november. Latest update. Never had the problem before. Started the last few days. What works for me is to restart the watch. Just did with a 60 km bike ride. Very annoying though.

On my side, I had the issue and just waiting for an update from the dev team.

But yesterday without doing anything, it sudently synchronize my activities from the last week

Really strange behavior…

@tellierb Lucky you !!

Nope, I did a simple aerobic workout, no GPS, and the above mentioned procedure didn’t work
I just let the SA trying and after dinner I found the activity synchronized …

It has been almost 2 weeks since I posted this problem and nothing has happened since. I have tried syncing the watch with several different devices running different operating systems. Lastly I tried Android but got the same result as with the iPhone. The app tries to sync but fails and disconnects after a few seconds. The fact that the Android app shows the same result as the iPhone app suggests that something is wrong with the firmware.

I like Suunto very much, but I do not need to describe how annoying this is. Especially the lack of official information from Suunto. If anyone has any information, please let me know. As far as I can see, the same problem has also been discussed in the Vertical thread, but without a solution.

@tellierb issue is being looked at I assure you guys

Hi, i have the same problem…
it just won’t connect to the app when i’m done training…android version 13

satom

@Igor-Uvalin Yes, this is a problem that affects many users. Not only the Race, but also the Vertical model has the same issue. It looks like a pretty big problem and I’m surprised that Suunto hasn’t acknowledged it and come up with a solution already.

Let me quote the quote, again

Suunto has acknowledge it

Did they found the causes ? Probably not fully, yet, as mentioned in other threads

Hello. I haven’t had my Race for very long, so I’ve had one update and one patch. Everyone has their own uses, so this is a very personal opinion, but… each update has brought its share of bugs without any particular improvement (note that for MY uses, I’m not generalising).
This is for me:

update, problem with screen visibility during a trail (problem not present before)
Last fix: I have to stop and restart my watch every morning so that it connects to my iPhone. Problem not previously present.
I admit that these two major problems (for me) are starting to worry me. I’m almost afraid of the next update (no malicious irony in that, just a fact). But let’s be optimistic, I’m sure the teams are doing their best.

@ODo67 Personally, I have paused with Suunto until all these hiccups are finally fixed.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

A couple of users have reported cases were restarts of app or watch repairs have have helped. Due to that our data is a bit buggered.

Is there any person here that cannot get his watch to sync no way ? And persistently? For all activities?
