Software Update 2.40.38 (2025 Q1)

@Matthias-Jäggli I understand your frustration, feeling the same and it’s a known issue, which unfortunately has some technical reasons. We will work on fixing this, but it can take time and we still need to do the updates.

Hi,

I have issues with HRV measurements. It started with the faulty update in 2024. I downgraded the firmware, but it didn’t really help. I was hoping the issue would be fixed with the newest update, but it wasn’t.

The current firmware version: 2.40.38

After the firmware update, I reset the watch to factory settings, but this didn’t help either.

Any suggestions?

People wrote about this, but I will also add.

Sleep tracking and resources counting stopped on my Race S. HR sensors is working, calories are counting.

It worked good until I rebooted the watch yesterday.

@Łukasz-Szmigiel
Hello where can I get this view? Is it part of the app? Any additional software needed?
Thanks

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Peter-Pan-0 which view are you referring to?

[Mff73]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel
probably the view of your app with battery stats, etc…

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

Does anyone know the answer to this? Is the new Track Running sport mode like the modes on Coros and Garmin, where you can input the lane you’re in and it’ll record each lap really accurately?

This is very useful for track sessions.

@matthinsh
Maybe

@sky-runner Also the arrow for the direction should be a little bit larger. I really like the fact, that it’s not longer full screen, but the current style is too small for my eyes. It’s really hard to see. Especially, if it appears a second before you have to turn.

Yes, fully agree. Most of the time I can’t tell what the next turn is supposed to be even if I manage to briefly see it.

Has there been any official response from the Suunto team with regards to the new navigation guidance? In my opinion, this change has been rushed in without a proper UX research and the overall user experience has become worse, and this is quite a bit less usable than it is used to be. Is there a plan to revisit this again? Please let us know!

Should we do a poll about the preferred navigation guidance?

[isazi]

@sky-runner as far as I know, there are more improvements to navigation planned.

Great to know that!

Today I swam 1250m and the Race S tracked the total distance correctly (without push any buttons).
I’ll see next time, but for now I’m happy with the 2.40.38 fw.
Bye.

I have to say that my Vertical completely stopped discharging after the update. That’s power! Super job Suunto. The only change I made was to delete all the watch faces and keep only about 2 in the watch, but I guess that doesn’t affect it.

[matthinsh]

@Mff73
I guess that’s a no then
I have a refurbished race s that I was looking forward to getting back and wearing (FWIW, the service from Suunto was absolutely brilliant). But I’m now used to using a Garmin with track mode, and it’s so, so useful.
Track mode, multiple HRM connections and an ohr that told me my actual hr during sleep rather than double are the 3 things I crave for in a Suunto.
One day. Until then, I’ll stay conflicted

Maybe you guess wrongly

@Mff73 defo a no https://forum.suunto.com/post/164327

[matthinsh]

@Mff73 this is the strangest response ever. Thanks so much 🫠

[matthinsh]

@The_77 thank you! Sorry to have missed the previous post.

So now we have two next to useless track modes on the watch. I can see how Suunto have made it to 100 sports 🤭
