Suunto Race S general discussion
-
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 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…

Hello. New day with new thoughts
- 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

. Any solution?

Now black one is available.

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…Suunto Spartan Ultra (since 2016) FW: 2.8.24 (retired)
Suunto Vertical all black

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?

Hi, after few days with this watch I need to ask you, where you wear your watch on bike trip. Which posintion on hand is the best for best heart rate readings? I’m after 3 bike rides and i saw that watch have problem with HR readings in low zones. At the begining of ride i need to relocated watch time to time on hand to get right HR zone. How is in yours HR zones readings?
