Battery life on Suunto 9 after Fall 2021 update

Adam Gibson

@xdennisma Glad I’m not the only one with this issue. 90% of the reason I chose this watch was so I wouldn’t have to charge it every day.

Thank you everyone for the replies. I had called in to Suunto a couple of times to see if they had a solution, but hadn’t even acknowledged that this is a known problem. Based on the confirmation from several of you above, I’ll just be patient and wait for the firmware update. But this regular charging is certainly an annoyance, given that I was used to not having to charge my watch regularly. Thanks!

@xdennisma you know, you can roll back to the previous firmware, right?
The downside would be that you lose your settings as if you did a hard reset.

xdennisma

@dmytro Interesting! No, I didn’t know that. My only relevant settings are stored on the Suunto App, so I could just re-sync and recover them. Where can I find instructions on how to roll back? I just did a quick web search and can’t find anything that looks reputable.

@surfboomerang
for one second I was dreaming backup was implemented and we didn’t know

surfboomerang

@freeheeler No, still no backup unfortunately. Maybe someday…

Just wait. Till the end of the month if all goes good should be out.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos

You mean the backup function?
Or the new firmware?

Or…both?

@surfboomerang new firmware that will fix bugs and improve things

@egika
backup is an improvement, too…

Egika

@freeheeler don’t put your money on this one…
Suunto’s core competence has always been in measurement accuracy. Let’s see what we get…

@egika
but Suunto also knows how to backup
