And Suunto does it again: mid-activity crash on Suunto Race
-
@VoiGAS in my experience the crashes with 2.44.52 are random, during or outside of activity doesn’t matter. No crash since 2 days with 2.44.46
-
@halajos Maybe just the reset to factory settings did the trick? Hard to say I guess…
-
@VoiGAS no, I did a hard reset before the downgrade. Didn’t help.

Hi,
SUUNTO RACE S user here, w/ 2.44.52 firmware version.
I’ve bought the watch this Sept 2025, and since it has crashed multiple times (re-boot with suunto logo and then home screen), mostly on map navigation, but not only.
Today I went on a trail run and it was practically non-usable, had crashed multiple times every time I had set up route navigation (both as an activity and as naviagtion-only).
Any resolutions here in the crowd for the issue? Is there a comment from SUUNTO’s side about the issue?
Thanks!

@Liad-Bela I think you should reach out for Suunto support. Possibly you have a defective watch…

@Liad-Bela I have the same issue, since June 25. I contacted Suunto support. After a few weeks of discussion they asked me to send logs and told me the issue would be solved with the last update. The update didn’t change anything, I can’t use the navigation screen, the watch crashes within 30 mins of activity, sometimes less. I kept Suunto support aware of the situation and got excuses but no solution (they did say that the problem was being investigated).

Race S, yesterday watch froze after I tried to resume the activity. Restart helped, but it never happened until now.
-
Today, my Race crashed again mid activity…
This seems to be an unsolvable task for Suunto developers…Working in programming myself, this is so devastating to me. The current generation of developers has either “lost it” or gets pushed by management to skip proper coding techniques and tests.
The bare minimum I expect is that they read the logs and find the problem and fix it.

@Olaf-Gottschalk might you have a hardware fault? My Race v1 is on its way to the service center. It crashed randomly in and out of exercise, showing error codes in the debug menu.
