2026 Q2 Update

Egika

@Stoke80 I can share that updates are in the making.
And I don’t know for sure, that quarterly updates are like a law.

Just wait - it will come

SODIUM

Yes, it’s Q3.

@Egika

Sure, I agree with you.
For sure it is not a law, and should not be taken as given…

But patterns of the past fuel expecations for the future…

So then I wait for the next App Update. Normally after that, the watch update is also around the corner…

@Stoke80 Personally I expect the new update in first weeks of July, since it would be nice tonhave new things to try over summer. (Also not sure how much is still happening in Finland, but vacation season should be starting). But also probably not going to release new fw during Val D’Aran weekend, so maybe next week. Complete guess of course or maybe just wishful thinking hehe

Perhaps they were waiting for Western States to finish, just in case any updates messed with their sponsor’s watches?

If only they had a system where they could backup their settings and simply grab a new watch and transfer their data across…

@Steven-Hambleton suunto App update is available

Stavrogin

@GiPFELKiND I think that is a catch up update for Android. I am not seeing anything in the US for iOS.

@snow what is brewing ? unless i missed something in the video it just spots actual features ?

cosme.costa

@Tieutieu Street names and possibility to activate/deactivate map layers are not yet present

Tieutieu

@cosme.costa OK but still I must miss something and see any reference to SV1 ; more than that I wish for suunto climb guidance update.

@Tieutieu moreover, the video was referred to V2, R2 and Ocean only. So no news for V1, R1 and Rs

Rather than street and city names, I’d prefer to see colorful markings on hiking trails…

I think this could cause confusion when reading the terrain on a small watch screen. Colours and symbols should be as universal as possible, so you can tell at a glance what kind of landscape feature you’re looking at.

@Stefano-M64 So that’s the summary, right? No more further updates! Or maybe it’ll be in Q3?

He said “in a later update”…

I’m puzzled about that the Ocean is thrown in this time …

@Stefano-M64 My guess is that the release will happen next Monday or Tuesday. This weekend is Hardrock 100 (https://hardrock100.com) , a big/important Ultra Trail event, and Suunto is one of the Sponsors. No one want to risk an update on the eve of the event and mess with updates + possible bugs.

This Suunto video doesn’t appear in the channel (https://www.youtube.com/@SuuntoTV/videos) yet, so I’m assuming it’s live but still “hidden”, maybe waiting the release.

@Stefano-M64 This is a bit concerning to be honest. They said in the video that updates to V1, R1, Rs will follow. Even if I think that is true, I believe R1 and Rs are done, the same way V1 and 9PP are.

After a release where V1 didn’t get the update at all, and with the current known issues with the latest release (crashes during activities in particular when multiple S+ apps, R2 distance, etc), I was assuming this next release to be focused on bug fixes and in update V1 with some of the missing features from the last update.

Instead, they decided to move further forward even more, leaving behind more devices. I want to believe the release will address the main bugs, in particular the crashes.

However it seems this release is creating more code branches. We have now:

V2, R2, Ocean
R1, R1s
V1
Run (maybe a one off and we should forget about it at all)

As a Software Engineer myself, this is not looking promising for old devices. It’s difficult to maintain, test, keep tracking. And the development team, for sure, are not happy with all this.

I was hoping more a “ok, let’s improve V1 as possible we can and park it” and move on with the rest. But it seems now that R1 and R1s are also close to be parked.
