        @BrunoH that’s some dedication 👍
        I settled for the white and love it better than the original one, Suunto should make these standard issue!

        Current: Ocean, Vertical Titanium Solar
        Past: 9 Baro, Spartan Ultra, Ambit3 Peak Sapphire

            Until now I’m happy with Race.

            Pros:

            • weight feeling;
            • Digital Crown very responsive;
            • amoled screen (contrast, maps are in another level);
            • HR seems less erratic than vertical (different fw?);
            • battery it’s enough (43h);
            • great UI, simple to find things;

            just 2 simple things to add:

            • more watchfaces;
            • in maps with routes a field to show how many km to reach endpoint.

              Hi there, I’m a new user of the race. Loving it so far.
              Does anyone know how or where the Vo2 max is found after activity?

                Last Saturday: with 100% battery the watch gives me 45h of dual band. During 4 h 13 min, 20 km hiking the watch consumed 8% battery. For the same move my 7XSS (MIP screen) lost 13%.

                                I miss solstice from s7, and heat maps. I wonder if they would look good on SR.

                                  @Egika thank you for that. I feel the previous version looked a bit better

                                        @paranoidrunner I have the SR now for little bit over three weeks. In the first week sleep tracking was completely off every night, same as for you. But starting in the second week it got better and better. In the last two weeks the performance of the algorithm was about the same, as I have seen with other watches in the past. Sometimes it’s a bit off, but most of the time awake times look pretty good. I cannot say anything about light/deep/rem. For me those are just gimmicks which cannot be measured properly on the wrist.

                                        During this time, the only things I have changed was activating blood oxygen measurements during the night and I am using a nylon band now (the one from the Coros Pace 3). And I have updated my resting hr to my real resting hr. On other Suuntps I had a fantasy value there to make resources work. But according to Suunto resting HR has no longer an impact on sleep or resources.

                                            @lexterm77 Unlikely to happen but I agree, the heat maps would be a stellar addition!
