        @Mff73 “calling” may be a bad translation on my side -> you can find your phone with your Suunto (making your phone ring)

        And you can now have more than one alarms e.g one for weekdays and one for weekends.

          Those things where in the specs, so not a surprise (but a good one nevertheless !). SV will/should get it to with the update to come.

            @Tieutieu actually it’s funny how often you suddenly use those feature, you first thought you will not need very often or at all 😅

              @ChrisA let’s see ! For now I don’t really use alarm on my SV, but, how knows !

                Thanks, I don’t read specs 😊, so when I read that from @ChrisA (thanks) i assumed SV should got it as well.
                Multiple alarms is nice for me. One for work days, and at least one different for exception nal wake up 😉.

                  @Egika I was asking because I read that spo2 is a battery killer, to turn it off if not necessary or in a mountain environment.

                    While it does not seem to consume a lot of battery, this one definitely is a metric without use for mortals in the lowlands.

                      Just opened mine.
                      The Titanium in the Race must be a different alloy than the Vertical. It’s less dark and has a different tint, between beige and light grey.
                      And of course the initial firmware upgrade takes 60 minutes to complete…
                      Other than that this watch is just beautiful looking, not even remotely comparable to Garmin watches. It looks like a generation ahead.

                          Titanium - like Aluminum - is almost always anodized, otherwise the surface would not be inert as it is.
                          The anodization can be done in various colors not affecting the metal alloy structure otherwise.

                            To find out more, feel free to send me both SV and SR and I will perform the X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence analysis to get the phase and chemical composition.

                            It is non-destructive but I will be very tempted to keep both watches afterwards 😆

                            SV: fingers crossed :D
                            S9 (non-baro): died after 2 months, replaced, holding strong since 03/20
                            Spartan Trainer: casing broke after 23 months, repaired, lost watertightness 5 months later, died
                            Despite some pretty bad luck, I still love Suunto!

                              I believe Suunto is back in the game but I am facing the following bugs with the Suunto race all black:

                              1. Can’t answer/respond to a call through the watch.
                              2. Lagging/Image distortion at map viewing especially at 500m and 250m view.
                              3. Can’t rearrange the date format on watch face.

                              I hope all of the above to be solved with the next update.

                                What is the default date format? mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy?

                                      Hi everyone, my new Suunto Race titanium arrived yesterday… until yesterday I was using an Enduro 2!!
                                      I have some questions:
                                      •When I put it in do not disturb mode it takes a while before the display turns off.
                                      •When sleeping mode is active, is it possible to see the time without the watch waking up completely, like on the Apple Watch which can only see the time in low light?
                                      Thanks

                                        @Kostas-Zinelis I am pretty sure you can’t answer calls with it at all. I read it nowhere in the specs! You‘ll get notified about a call, but you would answer via the phone

                                          if used together with an iPhone, you can choose to decline or answer the incoming call, like with Suunto watches before. Of couse you need to speak into your phone after this.
