Software update 2.37.48

@VoiGAS With Maps my Race S goes much longer than that! If you are on the maps page 100% maybe. Here is the battery estimate from a 9h event, it was slow as I was the sweep and managed to get 6 people over the finish line 2 min prior to the cutoff. Poorvo is Ocean and Ulsan is Race S.

Thanks for the data @Brad_Olwin ! Battery Life Estimate means “total duration of an activity on one single charge given the same battery consumption” ?

Likarnik

@taziden if you calculate duration*100/percentage you get roughly battery life estimate as on screenshot. So this confirms your assumption.

Indeed, silly me, thanks

@Brad_Olwin Very interesting! You are right, on both of my exercises with maps I had the map screen active nearly 100% ( but display not always on ). Is there a difference if the map screen is selected?

Brad_Olwin

@VoiGAS Yes, since the map has to continually refresh more energy will be consumed. I typically have AOD off so raise to wake is on, but only use the map when needed. The battery estimates allow for some map usage but not full time on the map page.

Not sure if this happened with this update or when the watchfaces went to suunto+ store, but I use 2 different watches which both sync to suunto app with iphone 13. Suunto race and suunto 5 peak, when I change watch face in a race it works great, but when I change watch to suunto 5 in app and then reconnect race it changes the watch face back to default. Wtf??! Annoying bug, I would say. Anyone else have a same problem?

Update applied successfully on my SRs and my SV
Since then I only wear the SRs (no notifications, ohr, hrv and sleep tracking on,) => consumption seems much contained than before. To be confirmed !
SV on the desk. 1 to 2% lost per 24h. Ohr still on also, but watch not been moved.
I’ll go running with the SV in today

SuperFlo75

I updated my SV on Wednesday at 30% battery load, and it dropped about 9% within three days… without any workout… I think this is a little bit more than before the last update… we will see…

VoiGAS

@Brad_Olwin Tried it today and you are right. Nearly the same time (4,5 hours) and the battery dropped about 20% with maps on, but most of the time not as the active screen.
Still not the 31hours, but I guess I have to turn them off completly. Same behaviour as before the update - so no changes here

thanasis

Post update my OHR is showing waaay higher bpm.

For instance i now have like 65 and it shows 125 at rest…

Very very strange behavior

After the update there is an improvement in the pool count in RACE S
But still can’t tell the difference between freestyle swimming and backstroke

Same for me, between 4 and 5 % per day without activities, a year ago it was around 2 % (sometimes less).
As already said, the little battery drain issue is not fixed yet.

@Antoine Am noticing much the same, suunto vertical and in the first 12Hrs I dropped 1% from a full charge (Hr active + blood oxygen), no activity. Now that my day has started and wrist buzz is humming along nicely to the arrival of new emails and msgs… I hope to see less than 5% for today (including a 1hr gps activity).

Same configuration as you.
6% in 36h with one run of 50 minutes.
HR active, blood oxygen, only bip but no buzz, no backlight. No navigation tested yet.

I used suunto vertical solar during trail past weekend with map navigation: autonomy good during activity (computed estimation with 100% is more than 60h of activity).

Today battery has dropped from 61% to 55% in 24h. So 6%. It seems quite too much, no ?
(HR active, blood oxygen, only bip but no buzz, no backlight)

Just updating atm to 2.37.48. I’ll be monitoring battery consumption as last update had decreased Battery life. Hope to come back to prior range (9PP - roughly 20 days with full charge - mix use -> 5% per day). With the previous version I was more in the range of ~10% daily.

I also monitor battery of my suunto vertical solar.

I am around 10% in 24h.

With: no notification / no backlight / 1h running (without navigation) / HR active / blood oxygen / no buzz / K14 marine compass display with meteo, date, battery %.

For me there are still some battery drain issues (even if the one with navigation seems corrected or reduced)

Same here. I lost 3% during sleep this night. In past I was losing 3 - 3.5% in 24h with 1h training non gps, all thing activated, raise to wake.

It’s been one week since I updated the watch (SV Solar) I lost around 56% during 7 days with around 14h of gps activities. After the update I haven’t recharged the watch and haven’t performed a soft beset. I am okay with these numbers.

VoiGAS

@rooldaa Really? I think one of the main reasons buying a vertical solar will be the battery lifetime. Maybe thats ok from a daily usage perspective, but according to the advertised data your battery lifetime should be muuuuuuuuch better.
So battery drain is not completly solved and the devices are not up to the promised performance

Ghost

Since the latest update on my Suunto Vertical, I’ve turned off 24/7 HR, sleep tracking, notification. Backlight low. I’m doing a one-hour run and a one-hour cycle every day, using custom mode with good GPS (no dual band) and always using the HR belt. With this setup, the battery lasts around 3 weeks, consuming a little over 30% per week. I’m not sure if this is normal since I haven’t used it this intensively before.
