            @Egika Dan is quite the coup for Suunto. He was HEAVILY involved in the initial coros successes

              @General_Witt As I mentioned earlier, ordered on launch day, no emails, no communication, nothing. No indication of anything. Strange.

                @colinmacdon I ordered mine 2 days ago directly from Suunto site (Titanium version) and got it today, 48 hours later. That’s my experience from Italy.

                  @colinmacdon Same boat and then mysteriously I received a notification in my UPS app that a shipment was coming to me. I’m in the US and not sure where you are but it might be worth a shot to check UPS site. I’ve checked the Global E site several times (used to be who we received updates from for Suunto) and that shows no updates since I ordered the watch. As a back up plan (not knowing Suunto actually shipped the first watch) I did order another Race from Amazon US which will arrive 10/28. I’d recommend US customers to order directly from Amazon. As of today prime members can have the Titanium by 10/28.

                      @colinmacdon hey, so I’m also from Canada and ordered a Ti version on launch day. This morning I chatted with support for the 3rd time and they couldn’t tell me when the order would be shipped.

                      The thing is, I just received an email from UPS saying an order is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow from Suunto. The tracking number in that email shows it was shipped 2 days ago from Finland. I don’t know if you have a UPS My Choice account, but it might be worth it to check if you wanna be sure.

                        @FoleyRose Just chatted with support 3rd time as well. I mentioned that others have received an apology email, etc. with the option of small re-imbursement or an accessory. And while I am not specifically looking for that (would be nice though :), they have mentioned all 3 chat sessions that I will receive some kind of email.

                        Their update was: ā€œYou should receive it then, I am not able to provide the tracking information as it is not available for me, but also can escalate the case to the relevant department and request for it. As soon as I receive the reply, I will contact you via emailā€

                        edit: checked the UPS My Choice, and wouldn’t you know…delivery from Suunto scheduled for tomorrow. šŸ™‚ Mystery solved. Very strange ordering experience.

                          @colinmacdon there you go. It’s baffling to me that their support agents don’t even know if an order has been shipped.

                              @Egika yes I have, but he mentions the black model specifically. That might have been a mistake though.

                                When wearing the watch normally, you cannot do push-ups in it because the crown presses against the wrist, which activates the screen and then the settings. There is no option to block this. There is also no night mode for the display, either it is on all the time - no sense, or the gesture - no sense. You can check the time by clicking the button, but then the screen wakes up completely and lights up for about a minute. Does anyone have similar observations? There are some features that can be added in this software but no one has been doing it for a long time.

                                  ā€œfor a long timeā€ is relative IMO.
                                  if you have set raise to wake correctly you can see the time, but you see the full watchface only if full wake is activated.
                                  when DND is active the watch requires button press, which is by purpose and I guess a lot of people appreciate not being blinded by the display in DND mode.

                                      … despite that… when I’m doing pushups, I usually do them within a workout and then it is possible to lock the buttons

                                        I set the sleep time to 8-5:40 and the same way I set the do not disturb mode to 8-5:40. Now, in fact, the watch does not display anything, but when you press the button, the full dial lights up and hurts your eyes. I have ā€œdisplay onlyā€ enabled. Is there anything else I need to change?

                                          assuming it is past 8pm in your timezone now, it works as intended.
                                          DND 8pm - 5:40am, display remains off šŸ‘
                                          outside of DND you should see the minimalist time only

                                            When buying Race, I wanted to be its user, not a tester. It is amazing that no one has thought about the lace, which can be disturbing in many cases. In my opinion, the crown should be excluded from the function of waking up the watch.
