Software update 2.30.32

“Improved GNSS accuracy with updated GNSS firmware”

That’s an expected fix! Can’t wait to find if initial lack of accuracy in track recording even at best quality, has finally been corrected…

Once donne that, there’s only a big need that still has to be answered: a real store for much more watchfaces and apps!

[renton82]

CTL, ATL and TSB are still desynchronized from Suunto App, i can’t believe it…

[Arnaud Lclr]

@renton82 I agree with you, it’s a shame that this update hasn’t managed to fix it.

[SuuntoR]

@renton82

Nonono!! This seems to be so with my watch also. How this is possible? It should have been a known bug and was told to be fixed and these metrics are the key points selling this watch. Those numbers will sync but only after a power off and back on, so just like before an update. So Suunto, is this still a bug and will be fixed in the near future or is it something we don’t understand?

Tonight was the first night I had sleep detection without falsely reported awake time. Let’s see if this is structural. In case Suunto has managed to “fix” the sleep detection algorithm, they should surely mention it in the fw release notes.

@Theo-Lakerveld said in Software update 2.30.32:

7 day avg. HRV = 69, last night HRV = 76. Suunto coach states that last night is below avg. Bug?

The coach is referring to the 7 day average in relation to the long term normal range.
Individual outliers you will have to judge yourself.
I think this approach has room for improvement, but this is the way it is currently designed.

this is part of the “Improved stability” aka bug fixing

Okay, it’s starting to seem like SUUNTO doesn’t take its customers seriously, nor the problems mentioned. I’m slowly getting the feeling that in this forum we all are beta tester and reporting the relevant problems directly to suunto didnt work. Waited for this update for so long and this TSL CTL problem of correct synchronization has not been clarified and solved!? Sorry, such a shame for you! I’m not surprised why other companies steal first place from Suunto. Exactly because of things like this. SUUNTO doesn’t care about the beta testers… the main thing is that the money comes into the coffers

[Tieutieu]

Sorry but I can’t stand the permanent sarcastic tone and « it-doesn’t-works -Suunto-is-fooling-us » anymore.

Few month ago this forum was first of all a help center between users, and source of informations.

It’s now full of haiters and people that seem to think that developers are paid for nothing…

Also tons of new threads opened because :

• one don’t want to search or read the manual
  OR
• threads are so soon polluted that finding informations becomes impossible

Sorry for this post, but no one here is gona directly change Suunto’s marketing, strategy or software development.
But I’m sure they read everything is said here and improve as fast as they can.

So keeping telling again, again and again that things are bad will not makes things go faster, but makes this forum much less fun and useful than it was and than it should be.

I think that we should open a « cry and shout out your angriness » thread that nobody would read but where everyone should post their anger.

My point is not « all problems must be hidden », but that to make things go forward, a problem must be described, circumstantialed. And doing that gently works better…

@Tieutieu Well said.

And to shift things to saying some positives on the update, my 12k trail run today was awesome, as finally able to zoom out the map, which came in handy as with the rain and dark here in Canada I missed a return trail fork. When I figured it out, normally in the big scheme of things on my track the 500m would not have been helpful, but this time the 2k zoom out was absolutely beneficial. Also finding the raise to wake a lot quicker, and of course the GPS track/distance/pace was awesome.

Using an HR belt as usual, but still finding the OHR sufficient for sleep tracking, which overall is spot on.

[Todd Danielczyk]

@mikekoski490 That zoom out is incredibly useful! I did that on a hike last weekend, where I wanted to see where I started. Zoomed all the way out and panned and saw exactly where I was in the hike and what it would take to get back to my starting point.

Decided to stop, eat a snack and have some hot coffee as I looked out on the frozen landscape. Reminding myself why I bought a Suunto Vertical and why I enjoy my outdoor activities. Ranting was a million miles away from my mind!

[wmichi]

My experience so far with the update:

• Raise to wake is much more responsive.
• UI generally feels a little bit faster
• Sleep: Spot on last night
• GNSS accuracy seems improved, although it was already very good
• Not fixed: CTL/ATL/TSB/TSS still not the same as in the app
• Not fixed: Fullscreen notifications during training (like duration target, intensity target) are not closed automatically and I have to press multiple times the crown to make them disappear
• Not fixed: On the data screen with the intensity zones, the duration inside each zone is wrongly calculated when using a HR intensity target zone
• Not implemented but also not promised: Out of zone alerts during structured workouts

Even though there are still bugs, I am happy with the update. The only thing that’s really annoying are those notifications during training. I am already sick of pressing the crown to see my data fields.

Who promised this?

[Mads Hintz-Madsen]

@Brad_Olwin great if the app and watch is in sync for you but that doesn’t really help us for which this is not the case

For me personally, the CTL and ATL are updated right away in the app after a workout (and sync). On the watch however, CTL and ATL are not updated after a workout. Also the TSS is not updated on the watch.

I think that we have seen enough examples on the forum that some people are still suffering from this out of sync issue.

It is not the end of the world as one can just check the app for updated fitness stats but it does trigger some OCD ️

[Brad_Olwin]

@Mads-Hintz-Madsen Mine have been in sync the entire testing of this firmware and before. Perhaps the issue is related to the sync. Are all users seeing mismatch on Android? I am on an iPhone and tough to trouble shoot when it has not happened for me on Race, Vertical and 9 Peak Pro.

[Mads Hintz-Madsen]

@Brad_Olwin At least I’m on Android but I don’t believe it’s related to the sync process. I would expect that the watch is capable of updating TSS, CTL and ATL without any syncing. Even without syncing, the watch isn’t updating these values for me.

It could also be some side effect of some specific customization of the used sport mode (cycling for me) or some SuuntoPlus apps?!

For my next workout I will disable all SuuntoPlus apps and use a basic non customized sport mode just to see if it makes any difference. So very basic vanilla setup.

Edit: My speculation is that the TSS of the latest workout (in my case) isn’t handled properly in the watch. In my training widget, today’s (Friday) workout doesn’t show up in the TSS figure but the duration of my workout is recorded correctly in the same training widget. Since TSS is the basis for CTL and ATL then this “improper” handling of the TSS could be the reason why the app and watch seems to be out of sync. See figures below:

[wmichi]

@Brad_Olwin Nobody. That’s exactly what I haven written: “not promised”. Sorry, I couldn’t resist to write this. I miss those alerts so much, it breaks my heart

Regarding the training stats stuff: In my case TSB is not the same value as in the app after doing a workout. It’s still the same value as yesterday. CTL, ATL and ramp rate match the values in the app. Also the TSS for today stays blank on the watch for the current day (only the duration is updated after a workout). And the total TSS for the week is also wrong (it’s missing today’s training).

BUT at least in the morning app and watch display the same values.

I am also on iOS. I used custom sport profiles (cross country skiing) without Suunto Guides/Apps.

[wmichi]

@Mads-Hintz-Madsen That’s strange. For me CTL/ATL/ramp rate match the values displayed in the app after a workout. They are always in sync For me TSB/TSS of today/total TSS of current week are not updated.

@Brad_Olwin I am on Android and app and watch are not in sync.
