    Has Suunto changed the night mode/DND so that if I tap the screen in the middle of the night, the screen does not go to full brightness? I returned the Race for that and many more reasons but now ordered the Race S to test that out.

    Actually, with DND on, tapping the screen does nothing. You need to press a button to activate the watch…

      It goes brightness You set when You tap on screen within 60s of last watch use if im not wrong. If You used last time watch 60s+ ago, tap on screen doesnt work and You need to press any button first.

        @Tami999 So it will still blast the sme brightness as daytime? Because Garmins and Apples that I have had all have subtle sleep mode displays. Just enough brightness to see the time.

          @Marko1478 I got wake up at wrist move on light level, and its barely visible (but more than enough for me) to see all data, and its great battery-saver. If i want much brighter screen i press any button to wake up watch.

            Hello Suunto community!

            First post here. I am considering Race S for my new watch, but I have two questions.
            What size screen protector do you need for Race S?
            What is the real life battery life? I would be using gesture base display, HR 24/7, notification off and some activities. Can you squeeze out like a week on one charge?
            Battery life is my main concern here. Like, one week, I can live with it. If it’s more like 4-5 days, I guess the full size Race is a better option.

              I don’t think you will get a full week. I do not with similar settings.

                That’s too bad. It’s not a deal breaker for me, but battery life and degradation are kind of important to me.
                Shame that full size Race doesn’t come with some fancy colour straps. Not going to buy a replacement strap for a brand new watch.

                  @StefanPancake I love the smaller size of the Race S and it is my preference as a daily driver as was the 9PP. I wear the Vertical when I need it. The Race S is hardly noticeable when sleeping. I do 12-20h of exercise a week and I do not mind charging the watch every 4-5 days, it charges while I drive to work. So, I would base your choice on preferences, charging is not a big deal.
                  The screen pixel density is much higher on the Race S as both Race and Race S have the same number of pixels. It is a very nice watch. I have worn it a lot for the last 6 months.

                      Hi you all Suunto Race S users! Got mine today. Very nice watch overall! One question about the crown button. When you scroll the crown, it is much more stiff than e.g. the crown on Suunto Race (and other watches with crown button). With Suunto Race, I could scroll the crown with one finger. But with Suunto Race S, I need two fingers to scroll. Are you experiencing the same? Should it be like that or is mine just extra stiff?

                        @SuuntoR I’ve never used a crown on another watch besides the Race S, so I don’t have a good benchmark to compare it to. That said, I wear the Race S on my right arm and can easily scroll with my left thumb. I haven’t encountered any stiffness.

                          Thank you for your answer! 🙂 Not possible to scroll with just thumb on my watch. First thought Suunto has just made the scroll to feel more robust. But I think this one has a faulty button. Used to scroll e.g. alarm time with crown on my Suunto Race and that was so easy and fast.

                            The same here. It looks like it’s meant to be.

                            I have been using Garmin, Polar, Coros and Suunto watches for 20 years for running and cycling. I currently have Suunto Race.

                              I also watched some of the review videos of Suunto Race S, and it seems on those they also scroll the wheel with ease and with one finger. 🤔 strange. On my watch only possible with two fingers on the crown and that way the “upper finger” nail hits a bit on the wrist. Because for a good grip on the crown, other finger must go a bit under the button…

                              How about e.g. @Brad_Olwin or @Egika should it be extra stiff or same kind of experience that Suunto Race has?

                              Edit: …and also if watch turned off and wheel scrolled: I can hear a little rustle sound there. Other way a little smoother, and other way a more screech sound there. Not bad but anyway…

                                1. Can anyone tell me why in this watch face is this blue circle around left data field? This circle blue circle is always there, no matter what I put to this field 😞

                                1. I can’t connect to WiFi 2,4 to download maps on my router. I have for this simple password and I can’t. I did hotspot from iPhone and Suunto app get connected, for some time. After 1 min the connection are lost 😡. Any solution?

                                  It is 0/07 but not yet open to purchase on : https://www.suunto.com/fr-fr/Produits/Montres-de-sport/suunto-race-s/suunto-race-s-powder-gray/

                                  I have to sleep and go back to it tomorrow morning 😉 but I must admit I could hardly wait these days without scrolling on this RaceS… it has become a fascination.

                                      Same issue with my WiFi and Vertical, really difficult to download a map, i can’t find a real pattern. Tried all sort of 2.4 wifis near me, a two android hotspot.
                                      It finally downloaded a map but without the watch screen stating so…

                                        Waiting for the blue one to be available. By the way, can someone tell someone at Suunto that the page title on the german site has some “& n b s p ;” in it?
