My watch synced several times with the app this after afternoon, the sync was longer than usual. The chosen watch face got reset, the colour and the chosen complications. It must be new watch faces on the way

Cadence while running shows half value, for example 80 instead of 160. After saving activity and sync, the value is right in the app.
BUT only for running. Walking activity shows half value even after sync in app and it’s labeled as rotation per minute… It was before this FW version too.

100% sleep quality, according to the beta version on Vertical. I’m not sure how this magic happens, but I’m not complaining! I am now upgrading my Race S to the just released version because I want to sleep well every night, whether I wear the Vertical or the Race S

The interface is smooth now, which is great. However, I noticed that the accent color is no longer applied on the “Simplicity Analog” watch face. I’ve tried uninstalling and switching watch faces multiple times, but this issue only happens with this specific one.

The complications that use the accent color are not affected, this is only this specific watch face. Restarting the watch didn’t help either.

Suunto still ignores the fact that many users would like to see waypoint names during navigation! The Suunto 9 used to display the name of the next waypoint at the top of the navigation menu (where it circled together with ETE etc.), which was incredibly useful. I often used names like “Matterhorn 4478m”, and the possibility to show next waypoint name anytime I wanted (like when arriving to signpost) made orientation much easier.

Suunto Vertical, however, still shows the waypoint name only in those two brief pop-up notifications — once when you reach the previous waypoint, and again 50 metres before the next one.
Sure, it’s nice to see the waypoint symbol and remaining distance in that blue area, but that’s simply not enough…

I was really hopeful when I saw the addition of the waypoint description field in Suunto App — but sadly, nothing has changed.

@pavel-samokha Just installed on my SV, the update went smoothly, watch face complications were reset to default. Will try more tomorrow

I know there’s been quite a lot of focus on the 50m distance for the new tbt announcements (which is fair), but I just wanted to say a big thank you to the developers for the big improvement over the previous behaviour I know what we now have isn’t quite perfect but it’s so much better than being told the next turn just when arriving at the previous turn!

Overall it seems the latest firmware has been received well and I’m sure it was extra tricky getting this one out given the unexpected problems with the HR firmware upgrade at xmas.

So thank you

What’s the difference between Running Track and Track Running?

@Stefano-M64 Just noticed with the new watch faces this morning i was able to find them on their video but looking back now it seems to of been removed from the video timeline maybe suuntos working on some last minute changes before release to the store,

Watch face resets to its defaults - color & complications. 2025 Q1 does not fix this. I still have this issue. I’m not sure why support for new watch faces comes in place while there is still bug with old ones. It’s really disappointing. I assume it was know issue. So we have to wait till Q2 this to be maybe fixed? Thanks for info.

@surfboomerang my current Custom setting are
GPS accuracy: Best
Touch: Map only
Display timeout: off

this is same with Performance mode but always go back to Custom.
Previously i always successful make Performance mode become default but not this time after the update. Am i missing something else?

What have observed in the logbook of the watch , is that if you enter an activity and click the down button it immediately takes you to delete instead of the details the first time and the on it works ok

Hi all. I hate to rain on the parade… Sleep tracking failed last night… That is:

no HRV and no sleep.
Heart rate was measured during the night. At least the graph makes me believe that and minimal HF during sleep is reported
Resources were measured

So from my perspective, the bug is not gone but persists. Or my Race is faulty.

@pavel-samokha I did not reset my watch in case you want logs.

@thanasis working fine here, no issues with hat.

I got the same issue on SR and before the update everything was working good.

No issue here with my Race S. Not before, but also not after the latest update.

I even think that the time between when I go to bed and the watch detects the “start” of the sleep has been shorter.

Also the sleep report in the morning pops up a bit faster.

I had the same experience, I had to remove and upload the watchfaces again which fixed this problem.

@Ars-Vitae good question. I thought that Suunto may introduce a new SuuntoPlus feature like Coros “track run”.

My first impressions. Nice and smooth.
Only the watch faces need to be improved. There are only 4 features on the main dial.
In my latest tests, I noticed that the battery started to drain 4% faster after the update in daily use.
It is worn on my wrist all night long. It may be due to the improvement.
Also, when I sleep at night (the watch is on my wrist), I get a warning every 2 hours to get up. This is very funny, I sleep anyway and wake up to vibration.
