Will you try to write in English sometimes?Ich nutze den Edge Browser. Da habe ich das Forum direkt auf Deutsch übersetzt. Sorry, ich mich bemühen zukünftig auf Englisch zu write.

I wish the screen to not timeout during stopwatch (I m doing planks with watch in front of me)

A few things that still bother me with the SV:
When mobile notifications are enabled, I can’t pause the activity from the top button when a notification preview is shown. I first have to dismiss the notification from the middle button and only after that I can pause the acitivity. In many cases when cycling or running, I don’t even notice that I have a notification on my screen blocking my pausing, which leads to my activity not pausing when I intended it to pause. Super annoying, I feel like pausing should override the message preview for the reasons mentioned above.
Second thing is still the GPS accuracy. I do a lot of 10k road racing on officially measured tracks that I know are the correct distance. I’m usually the one in my group where the pace is off and the end result shows 100-200 more distance than the race was. Makes following pace a bit hard honestly. I’ve tried all the gps accuracies and the result is the same. vertical seems to be measuring the pace a bit “faster” than what it actually is.
Third thing is the fitness evaluation. All of ny race predictions are off a lot and VO2max is a lot lower than what was measured in a lab setting for me. I cannot comprehend why the algorithm shows my 10k prediciton to be 2mina slower than what I have recently raced? Makes no sense to me. It should at least predict that I can reach the result I have just reached.

If you know the distance is exact and you are planning on following the exact measured path, you can create a route of the course then use the snap to route feature in your watch which will force it to measure the predefined routes distance instead of your actual track.

@stromdiddily
I have done so, I planned the track in SA and before the race set my watch to follow that exact route, still somehow i managed to get 160m more than what the distance was in the pre-drawn route. -
I have been using Suunto Race for over a year. In my opinion, Suunto’s biggest shortcoming is its calendar. If it knew which races I would be participating in in the future, its comments would be more consistent. If a calendar like intervals.icu was made, Suunto would make the best sports watch.

@jjorgemoura what? What did you do ?
-
@jjorgemoura whhhhhhaaaaaatttttt?
-
@Sportsfreund what did he? What?
-
@jjorgemoura I think he expects a update with all the bugs fixed? Not ‚one bug fixed, but 3 new bugs‘ as we usually get?
-
@Tami999 it’s strange that the Vertical is so far off from my phone, Galaxy 7 watch and Garmin. All those three show 500-1000 steps difference.
My Vertical was before I sold it always several thousands steps from everything else. -
@Iggge just out of curiosity - did you sell because of that?

@rooldaa He sold it because he would rather have his personal data transmitted to the NSA than to the CCP. Just kidding.

@Mountain No you aren’t 🤭
-
@Mountain @cosme-costa that would be the same for me.
-
@cosme-costa I said I was joking because I didn’t want the Garmin cult fanboys to come and hassle me. I am scared
-
@Mountain But it must be admitted in all fairness that despite the complexity of Garmin’s software and the number of models on the market, its errors do not look as bad as in the case of the very primitive Suunto software, where very serious problems appear with every update.
It’s a bit like comparing the software of an Android smartphone with some Nokia 3310. Sad but true.

@maszop I’m sorry, but I completely disagree with this statement. I don’t want to wear my watch at night. I don’t want to wear it 24/7. I also don’t want to measure every aspect of my existence just so Garmin can spit out tons of graphs to tell me whether I’m doing well or if I’m sick. I really don’t appreciate this intrusion into my privacy. I don’t track my sleep, I don’t track HRV, I don’t care about it at all, and my Suunto is an incredible, precise tool that leaves me alone, allowing me to use it guilt-free, just for the pleasure of being in nature with metrics of unparalleled accuracy. Add to that the latest ZoneSense algorithm, which is now my main tool when I train, and Garmin becomes obsolete. Now, I respect everyone’s opinion, but in my case, I appreciate every day the work done by the Suunto teams to improve the technology that supports me in the sports I love.
