Software Update 2.48.16 (2025 November Rain release)

@Audaxjoe
this I why I find myself less active on the forum lately. Meanwhile I use my watches and keep on trying to maintain fitness during winter time ! -
@Audaxjoe I can see what you are saying and while I am not impacted by the battery drain and other errors, I can understand why the mood and communication changed over the last months.
I feel growing frustration inside the community and especially from those that bought the new, more expensive models. And I can fully understand the frustration as Suunto claimed to have fixed problems when they werenāt and new problems were added. There are people here on this forum that put so much effort into troubleshooting for Suunto and trying to solve bugs. Despite that, no official appreciation, communication or road map from Suunto developers and the forum moderators have to somehow carry the can for that behavior and lack of open communication. Of course, costumers are upset after what happened over the last monthsā¦ -
@brave_dave Iām one of the new ones, so maybe Iām one of the problems for the negativity on this forum. If so here is my honest apology.
Iām happy with my Vertical 2. I think itāll last the next 5, maybe 6 years and thatās what I was going for. I think a watch shouldnāt cost more than ā¬100,- per year
It was quite a jump to pay ā¬630,- for a watch. For me thatās not cheap. I was a bit sceptical with the tilted screens and the battery drain. It felt like taking a risk.
On both issues I was affected. The screen tilt was not big enough to send it back and (maybe) get one back with more problems. The battery drain seems to be over, while I donāt use the H10 anymore since it seems to be causing it.
Maybe what sounded negative on the forum was a honest attempt to make the watch work for me and match my expectations. It does now! The only āscareā I have right now is that Suunto will release a new watch in the next 2 or 3 years that will match my wishes on the navigation, without upgrading older models. But the Vertical 2 does the job OK. I think this is not Suuntoās style and Iāll get updates in the future.
If this was negative as well, here are some positives: ++++++

@dankcushions I took over moderating the sub after this point (an interesting story actually) and have been actively removing obvious AI bot comments and posts. If any still remain, report them and theyāll show up in the mod queue, from which I can handle them from there.
thanks! you know when i was writing that post i tried to scan the front page for AI comments and couldnāt find any, so it appears to be working - nice job!

9PP WHR 24/7 stopped working during night again
A shiver runs down my spineā¦
Currently, @Jaxxdu (https://forum.suunto.com/post/180232) and you had (again) the āpleasureā of this bugā¦ Very very well! So, Iām waiting for it.
Finally (ā¦), after more than a month since this update, the OHR sensor gave up during last night. Iāve managed to switch on the sensor by switching on then off the power saving mode; moreover, Iāve sent logs.

@vinc14 not normall at all. Contact support, maybe submit logs from suunto app. It can be problem in phone or in watch, only official support will be able to help (hopefully).
-
@vinc14 Not normal, itās an App bug.
Workaround: force stop and restart Suunto App. You donāt need to restart phone, only app. -
Jedi mind trick, There was never anything to see hereā¦
Suunto Vertical, Vertical 2, Race, Race 2, Race S and Run. Rocking the Vertical 1 at the moment.

@Stavrogin That answer makes 100% sense, but I trust ChatGPT just about 0%.
-
@duffman19 thatās why I quote it. I agree I donāt totally trust anything on the internet including here. I only offer it because it might offer a solution. I will try disconnecting and reconnecting each run. It only takes a minute and then one of my two issues will be resolved if only until it is fixed via firmware. I can always charge more often. I donāt want to and I am excited to have Vertical-like battery life back, but when my tech poops the bed mid run I start to question if I need that tech.
-
@Stavrogin Gotcha. I was just making an easy joke. And I really do think that answer makes total sense, but I know almost nothing about the inner workings of these things.
Itās interesting that some users are experiencing total BT disconnections midway through activities. Iāve only experienced quick disconnects, usually only lasting a second or two. But itās still really annoying to get those connection notification vibrations throughout an activity.
My big issue remains the inability of the software to correctly connect to whichever external HR sensor Iām trying to use (I alternate between two). One solution I use it to unpair and then newly re-pair the sensor right before using it. And, as you suggested, this usually results in a good BT connection throughout the activity. So thereās that.
Hereās to hoping the Q4/Q1 update(s) will bring BT connection progress!

I donāt recognize any battery fix unfortunately
Frankly, my Peak pro 9 never kept more than 7 days. I have been using it for 1.5 years. 24/7 tracking is on, Raise to wake off.
The last year the battery holds 3-4 days and no more.
Usually, the first 24 hours it looks promising with ~14% usage, but then the depleting growth to 20% -> 30% a day.
The main reason to choose Suunto was itās battery life for which I was ready to compromise the MIP display. Comparing my choice to any known brand with AMOLED display makes me feel uncomfortable.After a month with Garmin Fenix 8 Amoled I can confirm, there was no reason for PP9 with MIP display to burn itās battery so fast.
Garmin knows to keep at least 2 weeks with AMOLED! -
@Stavrogin ChatGPT (or any other LLM) can fabricate non existing stuff. It can describe to you non existing API of software. It can even āquoteā non existing manual pages
so if donāt have possibility to examine firmware spurce code with hardware schematis than donāt trust it at all. It can make sence when you read it but it can be made up at same time. -
@Tomas5 Againā¦Thats why I quoted itā¦
-
@Sergey-Balbir well thatās a bit of an unfair comparison, since the S9PP was released long before the Garmin Fenix 8. Modern Suuntos like the Vertical 2 also run two weeks (and more) wit Amoled displays.

Partially agree with you.
S9PP promised 21 days of battery life in smartwatch mode. I have never got 1 full week with 2 gyms, 1 swimming and 1.5h of GPS activity. -
@Sergey-Balbir same for Race 2, 18 days promised but best i got was 16 days if i remember correctly only with original firmware. Usually is 14 or less.
-
Battery life in smartwatch mode is always without any activity, and it is the same for all brands
