Today possibly cadence lock in first half? Not sure but strange change in middle of activity while i walked same speed all the way.[image: 1758175867575-img_0893.png]

@gone-troppo said in Battery drain after update 2.44.46 (2025 Q3) on Vertical Watch: 44% to 4% in last 24 hours wtf is going on? I have tried every possible fix to that this forum and fb groups have recommended and nothing works. Is suunto aware of this issue? Is there a fix coming for it ? My suunto vertical which was so great when it was released is now nothing more than an Apple Watch that needs constant charging. I have been with suunto for many years but this is a disgrace. My old ambit 3 peak doesn’t have these issues. I love the suunto app and how suunto ecosystem is I don’t want to change but this is borderline unusable. Watch drains more than 1% per hour when not even doing anything and every battery sucking setting disabled. What a joke You can stop (throught parameters) and restart the watch. It seems it has solved temporarily the problem… (now 4% in 24h as before). But sure there is something to correct, because before restart i was at more than 12% per 24h. I hope that suunto team is avare of that and it will be solved soon.

@Marro What I realized is that the first time you use a new sport mode that you haven’t used before, whether it is one of pre-built sport modes or a custom one, you have to manually connect to a sensor. That can be done in the beginning of an activity at the start screen, by scrolling down to Exercise Options and then to Sensor Data. Once you’ve connected once, the last used sensor is stored in the sport mode and next time it connects automatically. I think this is a poor implementation on the Suunto side because this is not discoverable, not how Suunto watches worked before, and not how other brands work. This should be addressed.

@Chen-Avinadav said in Suunto Race S pace track problems: Still I get a very weird looking pace graph, see below. I stand corrected regarding the simplicity of my assumptions. I have only ever seen it being dependent on pace variations, but your latest example really proves it to involve other things as well - could be a time element. When I suggested uploading the .fit file to an analysing site, I specifically had those in mind that unpack the data so that you can examine the raw numbers, like at https://www.fitfileviewer.com/ But using a site which displays a nice overall graph view obviously works just as well.

With the beta FW in I did 600 yards in the pool and still the stroke detection doesn’t work… everything is detected as free (free, breast, back). Once change I did see was, when there was a change in stroke during a length, the next turn wasn’t detected.

@Pep-Carbonell yes, the values measured by SZ can be correct and can be closer or further away from time to time but it is hard to know when it is accurate and when not. Scientific papers could show that DDFA is correlated with the lactate threshold but even under perfect conditions/set-up on a treadmill, it is hard to detect the correct value. A publication from May 2025 (it’s actually from the scientific partners from Suunto from Tampere University) showed that the DDFA method indeed performs better than the estimations from HFmax. DDFA showed on average a deviation of ±10 BPMs from the actual value in 58 subjects…±10 though is usually bigger than the difference in HR between 10k and Marathon Pace. 10k is normally well above threshold and Marathon well below. At +10 BPM above my threshold I’m almost dead why -10 feels really easy :D. So it works in principle but is it accurate enough? A good race-based estimation will probably be on average a lot closer than ±10 BPM. (Here is the publication of you are interested https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.14814/phy2.70241) Of note: the accuracy of detecting the aerobic threshold was with ±12 BPMs even worse.

Received feedback from the support team. They tell me that the Peak Pro is no longer manufactured, nor that they have the parts to repair it. Not sure why they talk about parts, as to me, the issue had nothing to do with “mechanics” (but hey I’m not a techncian). Their position is “we can maybe fix it, but a cost that wouldn’t be relevant to you”, so instead, they offer to me a replacement with another device. With an incredible discount of 10€ !!! Quite interstingly, the Peak Pro is one of the models they’re offering in this deal of the century. Yes. The same model that is not manufactured anymore and for which they have no spare parts if there’s an issue. Just bought a new Sports2. But with a “I give these guys one last chance, before I move to G” approach, as I’m pretty pi**ed off, the failure happened after a failed update (according to me, but once again, I’m no Suunto technicain), 2 weeks after the warranty expired, and by the fact that the support is putting me in a position where I have no other option that to buy a new device. Aren’t they clamining they are a sustainable company? “Repairability” is the basis of being sustainable, especially for a device that was first realseased less than 3 years ago. Or is the image they want to give some sort of green-washing. Anyways…

@Danny-Labrana I didn’t know you could do that either so thanks to you for asking the question & thanks to @Mff73 for providing the answer

@Egika Hi, I’m also waiting for Suunto to get moving and expand its range of applications dedicated to kitesurfing!! Today, nothing is offered and there is no way to connect your watch to the surfr application.

Hello, today we noticed this issue on my wifes 5 Peak. Unfortunatelly it has already 2.5 year so it is not under warranty anymore. And she is light user, and not wearing it while washing dishes, showering, sleeping etc. Only around 9hours a day during working days only and then while cycling/hiking but thats few times a month.
