@ISztárek if you read above, you just need to add an interval screen to your customised sportmode and the guides are back. Just tried myself and worked - a bit weird though, but not that bad
and it has always been so, even before update.
No interval screen, no inbuilt intervals workoutsThis is incorrect as Guides were available without an interval screen. For example, A Guide could be a Recovery Run, where you want defined HR zones. I can imagine countless other examples. One should not need the internal interval screen to enable a Guide.

It looks like this bug has finally been fixed as well.

@AntoniusGaius Not yet. Had something like that on the last updates but only with trunpoints

Unfortunately, with the latest firmware 2.50.26 on the Vertical 2, there is still a problem with disconnections (loss of heart rate visibility) during activity. I am using a Suunto Smart Belt. The current battery level of the belt is 70%.
Around 4.3 km, I noticed that the heart rate was no longer displayed while running; a moment later it came back, and I also felt a vibration on my wrist.
I think the Runalyze graph in the Developer Fields may indicate this issue after 4 km.

Regarding new OHR algorithm on the Race S, I’m honestly impressed about my ride to work today. You can argue about the absolute values of the HR, but the general direction of HR changes are very plausible do not feel as random as before the update.
Today:
Same ride before the update:
So, overall an improvement, but still could be better…
-
My structured workouts I created dissapeared from my peak pro too, even app say that they are in my watch.
-
@Tieutieu I already wondered when you replied that it was always that way
- I really doubted my own memory -
@MdzOtt said in Suunto 2.50.26 – Q4 2025 Release Notes:
So, in order to change this map behaviour, the supplied maps will have to change.
I don’t think so. Trail visibility has been changed to the worse as a result of 2025 Q3 update without new maps being downloaded. Before that I update I could see trails at 0.5 mi zoom level (800m). After the update I immediately noticed that trails now were visible at up to 500 ft (150m) zoom level. So for anyone in the US trail visibility radius was suddenly over 5x worse.
Furthermore, in October 2025 at a race expo I looked at Suunto Ocean watch and it did still show trails at 0.5 mi zoom level unlike all other Suunto models available at the Suunto tent at that race expo.
-
During my first run after this update I had 2 issues:
- black screen instead of suuntoplus wing2 screen
- not possible anymore to command media from media screen (play, pause, volume). Only title of the song is diplayed on the watch. Time of song stay to 0 but title is displayed
Note: i am in a custom sport (trail).

@Calando I noticed an increase on the resources widget. Usually I had a 75 but currently it shows 95.

Same weird Resources behaviour on the Race 1. Full day at work (desk job) but work is detected as Recovery! Never seen this before - at best it would earlier show Inactive while being at work. I’m really not that lazy at work
Maybe the new OHR algorithm/behaviour is not properly taken into account in the Resources algorithm?!
-
@Mads-Hintz-Madsen I have the Race1, too. The time before and after work was registered as inactive, the time at work was registered as recovery.
Lucky us that work does not stresses us out.

@sky-runner The Suunto Ocean is so far behind in terms of updates that what you saw was most likely due to the watch running an old firmware version. I use an Ocean myself and have been following Ocean-related posts for a while. Dive users are very dissatisfied with the delays. According to unofficial statements, this is because the diving functions require additional safety testing, but doubts are increasingly growing about this explanation. Many features are lagging behind, even though the Ocean’s hardware is very capable and its price reflects that. It seems that there is at least one advantage to the delay — in some cases, the older version actually works better.
-
@borgelkranz I’ve also a Race 1 and I also notice a different behavior because it reports more “Recovering” during the day than before. At the same time I also noted that the built-in sensor no longer falsely measures too high HR during the day. The values were often too high, now they are quite comprehensible.
Which behavior is more correct from the “Resources” widget point of view I don’t know to be honest. I don’t care that much about the Resource thing but I assume always showing values >90% would probably miss the point. -
@Calando This is great to hear. I had a previous Sunnto watch, which I would have nights in the 30% range (after a couple drinks) up to 100%. When I got the SRs my quality fell in line with yours (78% to 82%) and hardly ever fell outside that, so I stopped believing it. Seems they fixed this.

Isn’t that what he was talking about? The updated firmware and not the maps are the source of the trail removal, as both watches likely have updated maps…

as both watches likely have updated maps
or outdated maps, because I heard some regions have not been updated since maps came out

Good point. The Resources metric may actually be more “correct” now if there is such a thing. Like you, I don’t really pay much attention to the Resources and Recovery metrics - I trust my feelings more

@rooldaa said in Suunto 2.50.26 – Q4 2025 Release Notes:
The screen brightness wouldn’t go off during time. The screen keeps to be illuminated and a watch doesn’t go to sleep mode. The soft reset didn’t help.
“Stand by” illumination is off.
Well, my 9PP is affected by a similar issue and yes, I’ve already checked what suggested below:
@Egika said in Suunto 2.50.26 – Q4 2025 Release Notes:
@rooldaa have you checked the backlight setting in the control panel?
Earlier than the update, all the settings related to the display light were OFF, and so after the update (
after the update, I’ve soft reset the watch). But, during the first run after the update, I’ve noticed that somehow the raise to wake setting was ON.I troubleshot the issue and:
-
all the settings related to the display light are still OFF, so backlight, standby and raise to wake;
-
however, when I start any (default) activity, the raise to wake setting somehow turns ON;
-
once the activity is stopped and I return to the watch face, the backlight stays ON;
-
furthermore, once passed the locking time, so the touch is disabled, the light is still ON!!
-
in order to somehow “reset” the display light, I have to trigger any light command, so the watch returns to work properly.
I’ve tried to reproduce what described above several times and the watch behaviour is still the same.

@Matúš I noticed something similar after the update on my 9PP. I updated in the morning and I think the raise to wake kicked in outside of activity, but I’m not too sure as I was in the office with bright lights. In the evening it definitely turned on during an activity. Then all I did was click again on OFF (Settings -> General -> Display -> Raise to wake) even though it was already set up that way before. It seems resolved. No reset.
