@AdamK The automatic profile on the Suunto Core switches between the altimeter and barometer modes based on your movement,so instead of you always manually putting in the refrence value where ever altitude you at,but with auto the sensors dectect you altitude what ever refrence value is in it is lock in there.with the dive function you select dive an its stays while you swim or snorkeling.

@Alpha the metric am using is feet and not meters,there is punch hole on the sunnto core 2,am assuming its for a depth sensor just curious how it calculate the pressure when the watch is in water an diving.but try it out an you see for your self,advice do not press buttons undewr saltwater i dont know if it can do that.

Edit: Cancel this question (issue). I updated my phones settings as our region recently updated or cancelled DST, and that helped after I re-synced. Cheers!
- Fixed sunrise/sunset not updating after app sync followed by changing the region on the watch.
Hi,
Question on this: After updating to this newest firmware, my sunrise/sunset is now exactly 1 hour off each time - showing a 1 hour earlier value for both. Ive checked on my Core 2 and have the correct country/region/city set.
Anyone else, or any suggestions?

@AdamK I have 1.13.44

@alexx-Caesar
According to the manuals, the depth rating for the Core 2 is now 6.6 feet. For the Core 1, it’s 32.8 feet.
I tested the buttons underwater on the Core 1—no water got into the watch. I pressed each button once. I’d rather not try that with the Core 2. -
@Egika
Thank you for the information about the changes!
But why aren’t they listed on the Suunto website?! There isn’t even any info about the previous version there yet.
Is the automatic alti/baro function not indicated on the display like it was on the Core 1? So I’m not sure if it’s actually implemented. I don’t see it in the settings menu either. On the Core 1, there was an option to choose between auto and manual. So am I correct in understanding that in time mode, alti/baro is now set to Auto, and in alti or baro mode, it remains manual?
Will there ever be a future version that displays alti/baro/steps graphs on the main screen?! -
@Alpha am kinda worried when coming to saltwater,but my watch is 10 days old so i be having this watch an be recommending buyers for the sunto core 2 once there are updates an everything work smooth,i think i will recomend my friend to order sunnto core 1 & 2 to resell in my country.

I tested it today, and it works reliably. I calibrated the altimeter in the morning, spent the day driving about 100 km, spent some time in the office, and so on. Yet, when I arrived home tonight, the altitude reading was the same as it had been that morning :).
So, everything seems to be working fine; it’s just that the watch doesn’t explicitly indicate this on the display.
Since I have some knowledge of hardware and low-level software, a “little bird” (a “secret uncle,” if you will) explained how it works, and I can confirm:
- It isn’t triggered by the accelerometer or step count, but rather by a change in altitude derived from pressure.
- If the change—relative to historical data (stored in two slots that refresh every ~80 seconds)—reaches ≥ 5 m, it switches to ALTI mode.
- Conversely, if there has been no movement for at least ~721 seconds (≈12 minutes), it switches to BARO mode.
- The states are: 0 = ALTI, 1 = BARO, 2 = SNORKEL.

@AdamK what firmware version you have now?
-
@AdamK so just update my firmware to 1.14.2 an i got the baro trend arrow in time keeping mode,this is great to see in time keeping mode interface,thanks to the team who listens to your customers,please continue the good work.
-
@AdamK
Thanks for the additional info.
It seems to me that auto mode works, too.
I’d just like to be able to view the alti/baro/step graphs on the main display in the next update. Then I’ll be almost completely satisfied.

@AdamK what firmware version you have now?
I have 1.14.2 and info about how barometer works is also from that version. Its same as 1.13.44 - only change is barometer trend icon shown in altimeter and main watchface (algoritm didnt changed).
