Hi everyone, I bought the Suunto Run a couple of days ago. These are my thoughts on what, at the moment, in my opinion, is wrong:
- the anaerobic threshold test is missing
- the minimum screen off time is 10 seconds (5 would be enough)
- to create a very simple workout (for example a 50’ long run) you have to create an “interval workout”
- there is no possibility to transmit the heart rate data to a third-party app (which I did for example with my Huawei fit 3 and the Fit Show app that I use for my treadmill)
- problems in general with the app that keeps telling me “action required - ignore battery optimization” (but on my pixel I have granted all permissions and ignored optimization for this app…)
- in general, the app still seems immature and cumbersome…

Weird. Pixel 8a here and no issues, at least not yours.

Do you think it’s worth trying to reset both the app and the watch? I don’t think the activities will be deleted (I mean, those remain linked to the account, so even if I reset the watch I should find them again)…

I did a complete reset, I got a system message about battery optimization and leaving the app always active in the background: I allowed the authorization, but anyway when I exit the app to use the phone and then reopen it, instead of having the default screen (which I imagine could be the “home”), I always get the connection settings one that again suggests “exclude the app from battery optimization”. I honestly don’t know what to do anymore…

Is the battery set as below?
I’ve Android 16 and I guess you too.

Now I’m starting to understand the reason for this problem: the two items under “allow background use” are not there for me…

@ShinJCD Could you set the permissions as shown below and let me know if the battery-related warning “action required” disappears?

now it works!

ehm… never mind… the problem is that even if I enable background use “without limitations”, after a while the system switches back to “optimized”. In my opinion, this is the real problem.
-
@ShinJCD have you Battery Adaptive switch enabled?

I also tried disabling adaptive charging and “use adaptive battery” but nothing doing… I give up for now
-
anyway nothing to do: at a certain point I thought I had solved it by deselecting this option
but in vain because after a while the “allow background use” option automatically switches from “without limitations” to “optimized”. I tried to disable any battery optimization (adaptive battery, optimized charging, etc.) but the result does not change… Now at least to avoid having the notification permanently present in the drop-down menu, I disabled the “watch connection” item in the “notifications” settings of the Suunto app. That said, I am really disappointed, both for this thing and for others, one above all the lack - incomprehensible - of the test for the anaerobic threshold. I am not saying that I bought the Run only for this (mistakenly thinking that it was present), but at this point, between the inadequacy of the app and the shortcomings of the watch, I do not find any differences compared to a smartwatch like the Huawei Fit 3 which, at least, has a very well-made app and an operating system clean and responsive.
