      @Fenr1r I also already noticed that incomplete display 1 or 2 times. It doesn’t really bother me as everything is back to normal after pushing one button. It is just a small display bug.
      I would prefer Suunto to keep working on serious issues (battery drain for people still impacted, …).

      Here is my feedback after latest update:

      • no more battery drain after hiking activity with route navigation. Good job Suunto 👍
        I only tested with one little hike around my place and I still have to check in real life hikes in the coming weeks
      • I have charged my watch to 100% few days ago and I keep an eye on battery consumption, but I didn’t notice abnormal battery drain these last days.

        Yes totally agree — but the most thread here is "what Sports mode is missing for the next Update 🥴 they should solve real Problems. I have lost all maps on the watch while record a walking Activity. And had very strange Display error while switch the Suunto+ App while i was Walking. Watch completely down and automatically Reboot.

          I think this has been explained a couple of times…this is a community forum. Not an official Suunto wishlist forum
          Everything can be discussed here, but Suunto decides if, when and how it will be implemented.

            Hello forum,

            iam new here due to the battery drain problem.
            Due to a updating error of myself (did not plan to update to latest firmware soon) , i have now 2.37.48 on my watch…

            My intention is to let you guys know how big the impact on my usage of the watch is.
            Before the upgrade with 2.33.16 it was easy possible to reach 4-5 weeks without charging with my usecase:

            HR ON
            Sleeptracking ON
            SPO2 ON
            Notifications OFF
            Airplanemode ON
            evertime with GPS Performance and routenavigation
            10 hours training per week

            Now with the latest software my watch uses 4,3% power every day and if that holds on, the battery is in 23day empty.
            I will now full cycle the watch and report again by time.
            But for me its clearly a sign that something strange is going on here and Suunto has to adress this problem carefully.

            Iam very happy with the Vertical since 6 month but the decrease in batterypower sucks a little bit.
            Hope Sunnto can fix this soon 🙂

              Not Vertical, but S9PP. The battery itself was replaced a while ago, so it’s not old. It started to act up after the last update. I have charged it yesterday in the morning to 100% and now (after 24h) it shows only 90% of battery. Tried to change watch faces, doesn’t help. It’s discharging really fast and I hope Suunto is aware and able to fix it soon. Just FYI.

                Indeed, there are still problem of battery drain on all watches.
                Last fw update didn’t solve all issues

                  For me after last update it helped to drain battery completly, that after 1% i turned it on and off (watch) few times, than charged it 100%. Losing 4%/24h with 1h non gps train. Before that like double of that. Vertical.

                      In my case (9PP too), if the watch rests in the drawer, the consumption is minimal and similar to the first day. And during sports activity I understand that it has not worsened substantially. However, if I use it beyond sports activity, as a daily watch, the consumption shoots up.

                        @Klaane My experience vith SV (non-solar) is as follows: in exactly 10 days, the battery charge dropped from 100% to 27%, with the fact that during this time I played sports for 7.5 hours (trail running and MTB). I estimate that the watch consumes 4%-5% of energy per day (with 24/7 OHR), and during sports training 3%-4% per hour (full performance mode).

                        After update to 2.37.48 situation is as follows: in exactly 7 days, the battery charge dropped from 100% to 74%, with the fact that during this time I played sports for 2,5 hours (trail running and nordic walking). I estimate that the watch after update consumes 2.5%-3% of energy per day (with 24/7 OHR), and during sports training consumption is the same 3%-4% per hour (full performance mode).
                        I am more than happy with this results☺

                          And just for information, my experience with my SCTiS is in line with @Mouse Cruiser.

                          I hope that doesn’t jinx both of us…

                          Very happy with my battery performance as it is more or less in line with Suunto’s sales blurb.

                              did you already try a soft reset? it could be needed if experiencing battery drain after an activity

                                    @Marien-Perrot press and hold the upper right button until the screen turns off and the Suunto logo appears, indicating a reboot.

                                      I think battery drain issue is not yet solved.

                                      First of all my SVTS has notifications, sleep, 24/7 and backlight off.

                                      With the last firmware, just after the update, I did 20 days with around 13/14 hours of activities with GPS (7/8 of them with maps all the time and following a route) + 2 hours of non GPS activities. That is pretty good for me.
                                      But the last charge cycle have been 3.5 days, with 2.5 hours of GPS activities (1.5 hours with one route loaded but not used) and my watch is at 83%.

                                      Consumption during activities is normal and good as always.

                                      I’m quite sure that if I do a soft reset the consumption will be normal again. If someone needs logs, let me know.

                                        @iterumtenta Thx for your answer. Sorry I didn’t saw this possibility in the rtfm… My bad.

                                        Since the last charge 4 days ago, only one activity of 1h.
                                        Batterie is at 84%.
                                        So it’s mean 4% dicrease per day.
                                        I do soft reset after every activities since today because I’m expecting it will be better.

                                        Hope the new firm will correct this malfunction.

                                          @Marien-Perrot I’ll be happy with 4% drop power day. Mine, since new, drops about 8% per day without any activity. I have the HR on and screen high on rise in. DND from 10pm to 5am set everyday.
