Suunto Software update Q1 (2.53.42)

[Stefano M64]

@snow thanks for chercking!
this morning I understood the problem: when I sleep with my arm bent and the wrist close to my head I can easily hear the alarm, while if the arm is lying along the body, under the duvet, I cannot. Things is worsen by the fact that the alarm auto-dismiss after 30 seconds, which is odd to me for an alarm clock.
To be sure to wake up I should always have the vibration on, but in this case if the wrist is close to my head the waking up is quite “harsh” (that’s why I turned it off weeks ago).
A solution could be to have an alarm that starts ringing for example for 10 seconds and after that it starts also vibrating (if the vibration is on) for the remaining 20 sec.
For the moment I will use again the alarm of my smartphone that is more configurable and gives a more comfortable wake up.

@Danny-poleg This is the second time I’ve encountered this battery drain problem. It first appeared after the new firmware update but was resolved by a soft reset. Yesterday, after charging my V2, it lost 9% in just 12 hours (normal consumption is 3-4%). I’ve noticed a pattern: it occurs whenever the charge level hangs at 99% and won’t hit 100%. After a soft reset, the display correctly jumps to 100%.

@tuxbuster Per quanto riguarda la ricarica della batteria sul mio suunto race 2, effettivamente ho notato anche io una certa scarica un po troppo veloce se blocco la ricarica sotto il 100%. Ma ho risolto caricando sempre al 100%.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Oh how I wish that were true. I’ve submitted a bug with Intervals not working correctly way back in September of last year - still isn’t fixed.

@Stefano-M64 do you live alone? I always only use the vibration to keep my family asleep.
The alarm is independent of dnd.

[MdzOtt]

Not sure if this was already mentioned, but I lost half of my custom activity modes. It seems that all my summer sports were lost (the update happened in winter, so all recent sports were preserved).

Here, it might be worth mentioning the lack of backup option for the watch.

[HonzaS]

Why the magnetic declination compass value couldn’t be downloaded automatically while syncing the watch?
I’ll also appreciate UV index value in weather widget and now, if we have units section in settings, we could get km/h option for wind speed.

@HonzaS
I was just about to write a comment on this, and this exchange came up. The wind unit km/h can be added to the “support mixed unit systems” feature.
I wrote about this before. We don’t use m/h.

thanks for the replay, at the end both ring only and vibration only can be unpleasant if the hand is close to the head while still sleeping, I will use the watch alarm only during daytime and outdoor activities, smartphone is more pleasant for wake up

@tuxbuster I’ve just lost 3% in 7h while not using the watch at all, no HR. It’s more than before the update

[Giorgio60]

@tuxbuster Ho notato un calo più veloce della batteria del mio race 2 se la carica non arriva al 100%. Pertanto attendo che arrivi al 100%.

[Speed Man]

Please help fix an issue where the watch shuts down during activities when using SuuntoPlus 2 apps (ZoneSense and Suunto Spark).

[aiv4r]

@Speed-Man in this forum I’ve already seen few people that use ZoneSense app and get crashes, maybe you should drop that one and see if it helps. I am just guessing but it might be related that ZS is now native and the app is not needed at all.

[Speed Man]

@aiv4r Thank you, I’ll give it a try

I see, you think you’re the funny guy here. I won’t comment on that any further, except for this: Even after several hours, the watch only reaches 99%

Try performing a soft reset. That usually solves the issue for me. Unfortunately, the problem tends to come back after a while.

That’s what Garmin does.

[safari]

@sky-runner From now on, a sensitivity of 0.1 should be entered for magnetic declination degrees in the next update. We enter either 6.0 or 6.5 instead of 6.3.

[Egika]

@safari when will you navigate with a watch at a precision higher than 1° anyway?

[Speed Man]

@sky-runner I’ve seen you bring this up many times. Garmin is great-but why do you think everyone has to use Garmin?

If Suunto were exactly like Garmin, I wouldn’t use it either.

Don’t try to push others to be like someone else.
