Suunto Race S general discussion

[sracer]

@obhikkhu I wasn’t complaining but merely replying to a previous post of someone stating their findings of the battery life during a bike ride. My battery consumption during exercise is roughly what I stated whether I perform a soft reset or not (been there, done that…).

@obhikkhu That is to say?

The watch that bugs and does it by itself?

Or is it up to us to do it after each use? (If that’s it, sorry but a joke

[SuuntoR]

Hi! I have realized lately that the watch registers my naps (on the picture those little orange dots on monday, thursday, friday). But they won’t sync to the app anymore (sometimes like last sundays long nap it also synced to app). I’ve read from reddit that somebody else also having this problem about for one month now. Tried to sync many times, tried to power off and on the watch. Anybody else having the same, any suggestions how it could be fixed or is it a software problem?

In my case tje watch register all nights the sleeping as a nap, always are nap. So every morning it says 0:00h of sleeping. And it says 7:00h of NAP

In consequence my HRV is not working simce day one cos al my sleeping watch is registering as map

Lot of work to do in this watch/software man

[far-blue]

@dmcdmc Have you setup an auto-dnd time period for the times you are usually likely to be asleep?

[dmcdmc]

@far-blue

Yes, i have tried everything read in every post of the forum, also speaked with asistance and done a soft reset, nothing changed ) the only thing that I have not done is a hard reset.

Nothing of all tried changed ,my sleep is always registered as nap, so hrv is not working for this consequence

Thanks gor the input far-blue

Hi everyone, how do you create a training plan in the suunto race S in order to prepare for a specific race ? (E.g: 21km on the 8th of december). I heard it s common on Garmin and that s the only thing I really miss on this watch. Thank you !

[Tieutieu]

@Olivier-B this page of user manual should help

[suuntastic]

@wakarimasen do not have more. S9P already sold…

[Ars Vitae]

Could anyone recommend a good glass protection for this watch? I would be grateful for help.

[jjpaz]

@Ars-Vitae I’m using a glass protector for Fenix 7, it fits well.

[Reiner]

@Ars-Vitae

I’m using this one. Fits perfekt, invisible:

[Ars Vitae]

@Reiner No problem with touch response?

No, response is normal.

[Ars Vitae]

@Reiner @jjpaz Thank you guys, I will try these Brotect, cheap, a few pieces in a pack and I came across them immediately looking for protection for Fenix 7.

[Dino Novak]

Can Suunto Race S use barometric sensor to display air / water temperature, like Garmin watches?

[isazi]

@Dino-Novak sure, but as with (almost) any sensor so close to your skin, data is not that reliable.

Got this Race s in July, it is clearly my best watch ever: compact, fast, beautifull, longlasting, precise and user friendly. Love the map when exploring randomly arround…

BUT… I scratched quite badly the screen of my race S on a rock while hiking in the alpine. It was really not a strong bump but I was enough for deep scratching the screen on 2 spots.
I did really regret that had no screen cover anymore because the one I bought was looking really bad during this summer it mad thh screen blurry
=> NEVER use this watch without screen protection in the alpine !
=> who has got a screen protector that looks good ?

Asked the Assistance about screen repair. They told me it is possible to replace.

What about the cost and delay ? does anyone have an experience here ?
(They didn’t answer me on the chat so I’am asking her to get to know more…)
Is tehr any chance to have it covered due to waranty ?

good luck, but if you don’t try you will never know you will need to open a real case, and discuss with real agents, and convince them that this scratch is due to Suunto’s fault

or wait and pray to have a serious bug/problem that will require an exchange.

I must admit that my new Race S has been very impressive so far (after 3 weeks). It’s working as expected, no crashes etc. Love it.

However I have to say, the OHR is just as ridiculously bad as my beloved S9B. It’s just awful. So I still need my Verity Sense or H10 strap for accuracy. I didn’t wear a strap this morning and the RS was reading up to 40 beats above my Apple Watch (which isn’t perfect either). Very disappointed in this aspect.

But overall it’s a very good partner for my Baro which I use for my mountain adventures.
