      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!

                    Hi. I have been using the Suunto Race for a week now and are having a hard time connecting to a heart rate chest strap to the watch. I have tried two different Suunto Smart Heart rate belts. They are around 5 years old as I got them with the Suunto spartan. New batteries. The pairing is just fine but when starting an activity the watch rarely finds the strap. Anyone else with similar experience?

                      Heat maps like S7 would be a must in amoled Race screen!

                        @Hwolfff just my personal experience: I bought a second hand Suunto belt which was a bit small for me. It worked fine for a few weeks, but suddenly started acting up. The strap was one of those older versions which were notorious for losing connectivity as time goes by. I bought a new strap and I’ve been using that second hand button thingy happily ever after.

                        Others have reported same kind of problems, it is usually the strap’s fault.

                            @Hwolfff try washing the belt and let it on a basin with some warm (not hot!!) water over night and add 1-2 drop of dish soap.

                            that worked for me

                              I got the Suunto Race today and immediately after the setup there was an update. But on the update page there is no mentioning about that. What has changed?

                                @jannis I got the same last week when i bought the watch. Only improvements and bug correction. It’s schedule a software update in the end of the month to solve some issues with auto sleep detection, differences between values on the watch and Suunto App,improvements on UI and zoom on maps from 500 meters to 2 kms. For now is the information leaked,if something else arrives i don’t know.

                                  @tiago Thank you, yes, I have heard about this coming update. I was just curious about this one, and if there is maybe a change log somewhere. But maybe it’s was so small that there won’t be any. But it took quite long to update, maybe half hour or so.

                                    @jannis just the standard update we all received when the watch arrive. 👍

                                      @BrunoH thanks.
                                      So the textile strap is the main problem? Not the round button thing?

                                          @Hwolfff well nothing is certain, but that’s usually the reason. A fresh battery wouldn’t hurt either. I once had problems with a battery which was unused but expired.

                                            Today I had my first SR crash during a workout and since I’ve been using the Suunto for years. Fortunately during a workout and not a run :-D. There was also an erasure of the elevation history on the watch face :-(. It’s annoying and I hope it doesn’t happen again. Can this be prevented e.g. by periodically restarting the watch to empty the cache?
