Updates for V1

Egika

@Stefano-M64 smartphones become vulnerable without security updates.
Sport watches just do what they do. Like the car mentioned above.
For some time - as long as hardware allows - watches can be improved with new functions. Still they work well without these feature updates.
And since you don’t know what will be improved, and if it is beneficial for your specific use case, it makes no sense to make a buying decision based on features that might possibly come and probably are of no use for you.

I understand that it is a good feeling to know that there might be something in it for yourself. still it is just a guess and nothing to build a buying decision on.

That is not entirely true. Smartwatches contain privacy data, not the least of which your presumable home address. With some you can pay.

You don’t want anyone hacking into your watch (via bluetooth or wifi) and steal your data.

Smartwatches haven’t been a target. Might be because other systems are easier. Or the data on it is less valuable in money (but maybe more valuable for people with other intentions)

Any news about V1 updates? I saw there is a V2 update with some improvements on D+ calculation (with wind?), which is only “issue” I have with V1 solar. Thanks

@domi87 no one that knows can comment on this, there will be an announcement when the update is released.

@plopes73 Sorry, have not visited this thread in awhile. My solar works well. In full sunlight here in Colorado I have gone on a 1.5 hour run with no loss of battery. So in bright full sun with few obstacles I find the solar is quite good. No other Suunto can match the battery. On long fastback trips I often get the battery estimate of 90h and rarely charge. This is my go to watch for fast packing.

@BrunoH Full support of the HRM2 is something I would not call “Bells and Wistles”. My wife (long discontinued) Forerunner 245 support Running dynamics from Garmin HRM. My (still sold by Suunto) V1 doesn’t support running dynamics from Suunto HRM.

HRM2 has been released months after V1. Nobody at that time in Suunto has ever claimed that the watch will support all new hardware released in the next 5 years. Same for Garmin and any vendor. You can just hope. I do and I am pretty confident that we will get that update (true, no clue).

Same for watches. Any connected device might have security vulnerabilities at some point. All future (connected) watches will fall in the scope of the European Cyber Resilience Act - CRA (in December 2027).

Hi everybody,

Just a new message to say if you encounter problems with elevation.
Each outing I’ve done shows me an elevation gain that’s far too high.

Today, I compared my run and the run of my partner with her race S.
Hers: 49m
Mine: 209m

I post it here because no update are going on from Suunto.
Thanks for your answer

Hi everybody,

Do you know why the V1 don’t receive the last updates ?
Is this product out for new features developped and deployed for the V2 ?

Thanks
Have a nice day

Are there some news about the next V1 uodate or is it only the new watches which are now updated ?

@Antoine as far as I know the Vertical 1 is not yet scheduled for release, while (as far as I know) Race, Race S, Race 2, Race 3S, and Vertical 2 will receive an update before the end of the year.

And this is how some great ideas come to an end…
