Suunto Race S general discussion

@isazi At least you got one … I tried the waiting list 5 times and always was I in reach of a computer to order when in stock, every time I missed.
I was looking foreward to the Rs and I wanted to try one but I totally lost interest in the way it takes too long to deliver so I bought a Garmin. I don’t get why you are releasing a product and you don’t have stock. I understand that can happen due to the succes of a product, but not 5 times in a row.If buying a watch is like tickets for Adele, it’s ok for me.

@isazi Apple, being annoying. On the AW, you can select which apps, but on iOS, I believe the only option for a non-AW is to echo every notification on the Lock Screen, ignoring grouping or phone DND.
-
@Ze-Stuart I believe that was the case in the past, but I heard Garmin and Coros allow you to select apps for notifications also in iOS, so something may have changed.

@Steven-Vanlancker not sure why you’re addressing me, and not sure why your only message in this forum is this one.

Any ideas how to change the weather from Fahrenheit to centigrade? I don’t do Fahrenheit
-
@isazi I’d be happy to be wrong about that limitation!
-
@EzioAuditore Wanted to add that REST doesn’t happen only during sleep. It can happen throughout the day while in rest mode. So that might be another reason why measuring HRV during the day is useful.
-
How about data privacy?
Is the captured data stored on European servers and does it stay theree? Or is is transferred to Chinese servers?
Which 3rd party companies have access to this data?Thx for the feedback…

Switch the watch to metric and temp will be in Celsius
-
@Brad_Olwin it is set to metric as far as I can tell. My height and weight etc is

Yes, rest can happen during the day, but there are too many other stressors that affect HRV. Interpreting HRV as a value throughout the day involves just way too many variables and is complicated (currently impossible). If you look into literature, currently agreed on as the best method to determine recovery with HRV is one measurement early in the morning in always the same position. This should eliminate as much variables as possible and allow at least some (!) interpretation. Suuntos approach is close to that.
Garmin calculating it all day long doesn’t mean that it always provides useful insights
-
@Bexs2247 what is your location? I am in the US and when I switch to metric my temp is Celcius

@Brad_Olwin I’m in the UK

Hi, on my SRs I have that problem witch sleep
and nap 
detection. On this night it’s second time that my sleep is a long time nap 
.
Before every thing was fine, what have change?

Hi, first question here. I have Race S and was wondering should crown be really easy to turn, as in apple watch for example or stiffer? It’s guitar stiff to turn with finger, it turns but I would wish it was easier.
-
@nicovoim mine rotates smoothly with only a slight resistance
-
@nicovoim Seems like quite a few people are having issues with it. Mine’s a little hard to turn, though not as bad as yours.
-
Hi. I am now on my second Race S, as the crown of the first one was rather stiff.
I mostly had to use two fingers (thumb and index finger) to scroll or to pressure quite hard with my index finger from the top to rotate the crown. But then the watch moved on my wrist.
Now, my second watch is better and the crown rotates much better. But still not that smooth as an apple watch (just mention for comparison reasons).But you should be able to rotate the crown with the index finger with not too much effort.
If you are still able, return the watch and get another one.
Surprisingly, my second unit, which works good now, has been produced some weeks before my first one, which I returned.

Hi,
Owner of a suunto race S for 2 weeks coming from an ambit 3 and I’m very happy with it, especially the design, small size and user interface. Kudos to Suunto for a great watch !
Some comments /questions :
-
when not using the watch, the battery goes down fairly fast. I don’t made precise measurements but few percentages every hour, is it expected ?
-
I tried creating a course in the suunto app and enabled turn by turn, it worked fine. Then I created some routes in komoot and strava, their were sync and I’ve selected turn by turn but there was no turn by turn. What am I missing ?
-
when wearing the watch sleeping with the HR unselected, it didn’t record the sleep or HRV. Should we always select HR on while sleeping ?
Some wishes :
-
It would be nice if there was a way to customize the activity data fields during the activity, similar to what we can do with a wahoo bolt v2 bike computer
-
NGP/GAP as a native field would be useful. I’m mostly a trail runner and what I look at is : VAM, HR, elevation, GAP/NGP, pace
-
more colors on the “climb” page would be nice. For trail running maybe something like : easy (<5%), moderate (~5-15%), severe (> ~15%) ?
-
Climbs auto detection with no loaded course, similar to what garmin/wahoo do on their bike computers. It could be harder to have it right as they can be many forks in trails resulting in many “false positive”

@Stoke80 Thanks for reply, I went today to the retailer and came to conclusion that it wasn’t normal, little screeching sound came from crown and it was stiffer in other way than otherway. Well I got it replaced and this new is much better. I can rotate it with one finger and yes it’s not as easy as in og Race or AW but much much better than earlier watch. Great watch all in all and even though I looked Garmin also, this just has all the features and much better build quality so it was easy choice to continue with Race S
