Suunto Race 2 General Discussion

@Tami999 you have diamond thumbs !
-
Scratches are visible bothering myself. Much more visible due to the microtexturized surface of bezel.
Any solution for cold blackening of titanium or how to remove black patination without abrasives and potential damages? -
@tas2581 then a titanium watch is not for you, as it will simply scratch easily. That would be the case if you would have just one mechanical tanium watch as well. I know what you mean - men don’t have juwerly, our only accessories are watches, but this is a sports watch … you’ll do with this watch other things that you would with a mechanical watch - wear it in mountains, in a rugged environment, etc. Expecting to not get a scratch from a sports watch is like expecting to not get scratches on a beautiful sports car when you park it just outside on the street, where it belongs. Just my two cents

Is there a way to set up notifications to only vibrate and not have a tone?
I’m aware of the settings: General -> Tones -> Buttons off / All on / All off.
I would prefer to have it set to “Buttons off” so I can have tones during an activity, but vibrate only for when a notification comes through.

Lately, I’ve seen more people selling their second-hand R2 watches.
-
@Alpha-156.42 to be honest I was trying to sell mine, nobody wanted it so I decided to keep it. There are so many Suunto watches online available for sale in my country, I was very surprised.

I have two sensors of this type on my bike. One is set for speed and the other for cadence. I hope that they are two different types (speed type and cadence type) and that they could work simultaneously on the watch, but when I connect the speed sensor, it disconnects the cadence sensor and vice versa, so I suppose that unfortunately they are seen as a single type of sensor: a bike pod. Is that right?
-
@fuxibaz that is right, if you search on this forum, you find other posts complaining of this problem.
golden nugget that suunto just drops. Reading a pre-acquired digital signal on bluetooth seems not to be suunto’s cup of tea.

@brechtvb Damn, too bad for us. Sorry for the duplicate and thank you for your reply.

The Race 2 is my first Smart/Sports watch and I am quite happy
I got a titanium version on a good bargain second hand and I like the look and feel (although I like the bezel of the Vertical or Race1 more).I am on my 10th day and the battery is at 25% with 24/7 HR measurement, sleep tracking and wake-on-rise with only display showing. So far in my 10 days I had 2 GPS activities and 4 non-GPS activities logged. I don’t know exactly if the battery life statement of 18 days includes logged trainings but I cant imagine how to reach 18 days but lets see
still happy with the battery.I think the crown moves too easily and would wish for more haptic feedback. Sleep tracking seems to be quite good, although it misses sometimes some short awake times.
I really love the screen and UI
