Another sleepless night with firmware update bright screen at 02:30! When is this going to end?

@Olaf-Gottschalk Thank you for the information. It has indeed occurred to me that forum.suunto.com could be a forum hosted by Suunto. However: This is a community and not an official support forum.
-
@Olaf-Gottschalk mate, judging from other threads you’ve posted - there’s likely something wrong with your particular device. Maybe you can get a replacement at this point?

Of course I would accept a replacement unit. But how a software issue like this can be fixed by hardware is something I would really like to understand…
-
@Olaf-Gottschalk possibly there is some underlying software issue that can’t be fixed via the Suunto App. I’m with @Łukasz-Szmigiel that you just have a faulty watch or faulty software on your watch…
Nevertheless, IMHO it is time to talk to the support and not to the people here in the forum.

@Olaf-Gottschalk It’s not a show of disrespect at all, just a comment on how you tend to behave in this forum. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, you tend to create a lot of pushback when you come in here ranting and raving about your watch being garbage, the engineers being idiots, and everybody in the forum being morons. As someone else said, you’d probably get a better response—here as well as elsewhere in life (?)—if you moderated your tone a bit. Anyway, just an idea!

Found this interesting, no idea why… (everyone has their own domain of expertise):
The malignant narcissist reveals himself not through open hostility, but through calculated dominance. He enters with confidence, often flaunting expertise to assert superiority. He demands validation, belittles dissent, and cloaks insults in passive-aggressive civility.
He thrives on conflict, stoking arguments while playing the misunderstood intellectual. He rewrites narratives to position himself as either the hero or the victim — never the instigator. Rules are tools to be bent, and moderators are either allies or enemies.
His goal isn’t discussion, but control — to reshape the space around his ego and silence anything that threatens it.
The thread was about sleep, so… wishing everyone a peaceful night.

@Ghost nice, made my day

@Olaf-Gottschalk there’s some talk on the forum about different hardware revisions, meaning that two Verticals or two Races can differ to a certain extent. Or there’s something at fault, memory or some controller.

@Olaf-Gottschalk Sorry, I have had three different watches updating at least once per week for months. This has not happened to me, it may result from how your phone is delivering notifications. I have iOS so I cannot help you with that. I have autoDND set up at night and do not see this but my phone is on DND as well.

@Brad_Olwin Looks like the updates are always in the german nighttime - thats why it never happens to you

I’am a Suunto Race user from germany and I can confirm that one of the last software updates also happened in the middle of the night and woke me up with a super bright display (like the flashlight app).
After installing this update my watchface went back to its default settings, so that I had to reconfigure it again. I don’t know if there was a good reason for that or if it was a bug.
