And Suunto does it again: mid-activity crash on Suunto Race
-
I have had several Suuntos and a Garmin bike computer. I only have had one crash mid activity with the S9B and two saving the activity in the S9B too in the five years that I’ve been using the watch. Now, in 1.5 years with the SV, zero crashes. With the Garmin 530, I had a crash every 10 rides aprox. now I own a Coros Dura and zero crashes so far.
@Olaf-Gottschalk If you have had so many crashes, 10 in two years are too much, in my opinion, and taking into account that seems that people do no have as many issues as you have I would tend to believe that or your hardware is not right and makes your watch crash or you use something around the watch that make it crash (magnets, etc…) or your case of use is what makes the watch crash and hasn’t been considered during the watch tests. In any case I think that Suunto should contact you to find the issue.

@Olaf-Gottschalk 10 crashes in 2 years, that sounds horrible. Sounds like something is faulty and since uou mentioned different fw, most likely it is something with hardware. Or are you recording activity like 2-3 times a day everyday?

@Olaf-Gottschalk I do not know if this is at all helpful but my experience with the Vertical was same as yours crash after crash. Even the replacement had the same. Got the Race (after no crash experience for a year with the FR965) and it was perfect - except on this one long run that I had snap to route but the GPS drift was so bad that the track at the end and all the notifications off track on track were pretty bad - resolved it with Hard reset.
And I also have the Ocean…. Not a single issue since day one: not a single crash, not a single GPS drift… stable like tank! -
Just checked SA, I have 422 activity record this year, walking, cycling and yoga mainly. No crashing.
I’d think 10 could possibly be something wrong with that particular watch.
-
My watch (SV) sometimes crashes during activity. Several times a year. Always on the map screen.
-
@Olaf-Gottschalk Same here today I just had another crash mid activity …
Since I had the watch I think I have had 5 crashes also on different firmwares… -
@wakarimasen since I had the watch I’m at 5 crashes so far every time I sent te logs to suunto. Today was just during a training, I was 1h30 in) but last time it was when I was running the Lee trail when I was already running for 3h… thank god then I noticed it quite quickly…
-
Out of curiosity, what screen did this happen to you on? I’ve had several such restarts, always on the map screen.
-
@maszop my only restart, yet happened on the ZoneSense screen or on the first screen of the buit-in basic profile.

@maszop said in And Suunto does it again: mid-activity crash on Suunto Race:

When I was running the Lee trail it was on the maps screen. But this weekend when it happend I didn’t use a map it was just on normal screen for running.

@Olaf-Gottschalk hearing too much ch about crashes lately
-
Second crash today in about 1 year with the Race S. Crashes in the last 20 years with Garmin FR201, FR910xt, Huawei watch, Ambit3, Suunto5 and Suunto9P: Zero!
I don’t get that we are discussing about how many crashes per year are normal given this relation. -
@VoiGAS had a crash today. First time I’ve seen how it looks like during the crash. Half of the screen was black and buttons stopped working. Watch restarts a few seconds later. Crash was after 4 km.
-
@mabe2k Oh no
. Do you have the latest firmware? They fixed something there.
Your crash looks different than mine, for me it went black and rebootet. But maybe I missed the moment -
@VoiGAS yes, latest firmware
-
I have the Same Issues since the last Softwareupdate… First crash was in a Longrun mid September and the Second crash yesterday in another Marathon. Very frustrating that a watch that once worked flawless now have this kind of issues! (Suunto Race 1)

@halajos I had crashes with my Race during training sessions starting with the software update in December 2024. This was the first crash with the current software version. And it was the first time I‘ve seen the crash. The other times, the watch restarted and I just saw the watch face afterwards.

New behaviour today with Race S: It crashed directly after starting an activity. Better than in the mid, but still…
Latest Firmware
