Suunto 2.50.28 hot-fix Q4
-
@Milan-Šádek That seems a reasonable amount of drain per day. I’m experiencing around 35% drain every 24hrs with no activities on my race, so charging every other day. I have no faith in using the watch for anything over 50mile races. This is silly, as I purchased the watch for 100 miles races etc.
-
My race S also drain faster in daily use, I find myself to recharge it more often (1 day earlier ?) than before.
-
@Geoffwilli with my old unit I’d get 6–8% drain per day with an hour of GPS (sometimes even below 6%). I even remember finishing a 50km race and the watch still being at 23% ten days later.
This replacement watch started off okay at around 6–7.5% on older firmware, but now it’s jumped to 10%+ daily. It’s a huge step backward and honestly pretty frustrating. Is anyone else seeing this jump after the latest update?
-
@Milan-Šádek I don’t know which watch you have but if it’s a Race S (9 days with HR, without GPS => 11%/day) or Race 1 (13 days with HR, without GPS ==> 7-8%/day) then I think you are getting what you should expect (assuming you are NOT using AOD which reduces battery life further). No?
With my Vertical 2, latest firmware (2.50.28), I am getting 14 days with 25 hours of GPS (running, cycling) which is exactly what the V2 spec implies (21 days with HR, without GPS => 5%/day and 65 hours of best GPS => 1.5%/hour extra for GPS).
I don’t use external BT connectivity except for the Android App (on Android 16). You may get worse drain if you use external HR belts etc. -
I don’t know were you live but suunto repaired mine without any issue (race s - 1y1/2 old). In FR we have a 2y waranty.
-
@gkaempfer as mentioned earlier, I have Vertical 1 Ti Solar with Polar H10. So no AMOLED display.
-
@Milan-Šádek Have you turned off the BT discovery? I feel like that helped me a little bit.
-
Random Suunto bug hit my Race S yesterday. Put the Watch on the charger, dismissed some notifications and reseated it to get the charging screen. A couple of seconds later the Suunto logo greated me as the watch rebooted itself… Reliablity, man…

I have the Vertical 1 Ti solar as well and paired with a Polar H9 but I don’t see this kind of battery drain. I see around 3% per day (no 24/7 HR and sleep)
-
@surfboomerang good hint, thanks. I will turn it off before charging to have a better idea about its real effect on the discharge.

Similar proportional jump on my SV1 after 2.50.26.
