@jjpaz you have definitively too much time but thanks for your testing and reporting

@giuliosq wrist heart rate is highly personal. Your experience will be different from others and depends on many factors. The use in the cold and walking with poles add to the complexity of the task the watch has. Good that the AW handles this well for you. And bad that the Vertical does not… In general I think you are correct in saying that the OHR sensor of the Vertical in inferior to the AW. That’s why it was changed with Vertical 2.

@Peer-Ole-Jacobsen You can use SyncMyTracks to sync data between apps on Android. It works great for Suunto and Garmin.

Closing the loop here. The last firmware update fixed this issue.

@el.Fakir You’re right, the French labels are terrible and can be quite misleading in certain areas.

@Robin-C-B they should usually reply quite quickly, I reached out to them via the website chat. But basically the proposals I got was to wait the next software release within the next 2 weeks which should potentially fix that or alternatively send the watch back for service. I’m trying to weighing pros and cons waiting the next release and being able to at least record activities but no daily health data anymore or send it back directly ! I hope something is happening soon !

Under 2.50.26, I notice that my overnight, off-wrist battery consumption approximately doubles (vs 2.46…) My only change for the new FW was to enable North-up mapping. 2.50… did add the wifi weather updates (which do not work for me … could there be repetitive attempts by the watch to connect to wifi and the App that drain power?)

@duffman19 said in Backlight Bug 2.50.26: There is a second issue where the backlight will remain ON after backing out of the activity start screen. Yup. I hit this issue simply by checking my list of Sports Modes and then activating the North-up map orientation: I didn’t get as far as an activity Start screen. Vertical 1, Data watchface.

Hello, Could you please confirm whether this feature is planned for the next firmware release? Ocean users have been requesting this functionality since the watch was first launched. Specifically, the ability to select weekends only—or ideally to set alarms for specific days, such as two or three times per week—would be extremely valuable for many users. We hope the development team will consider this request for an upcoming update. Thank you as well for all the work that has gone into improving the product.

@halajos Yeah, fine. I have a feeling I’ve read and heard enough of it. My next buy will be a lactate meter.

Update: we solved it! In Whatsapp notifications setting > lock screen appearance, the “show preview” should NOT be set to “never”. This fixes the issue! (We thought to have tried also this initially, but we were wrong)

@Nandodiver had to lough hard when the “soonish” was transcripted into “Suunto-ish” [image: 1769503821565-9013d03f-c96b-4e71-bb1b-8fc5e0e1fb43-image.png]

@JebClydeNC you mean this? [image: 1769500552430-385bbb39-05bc-4252-9c5a-9388a38cd530-image.png] Right, I don’t have it in the watch as well. Just - you have the fully pressure trendline. So this one would be redundant. The manual should be changed. As a selection for complications, I don’t find it in the manual, that it should be available…

I have a similar problem with my Race and Polar H10, where it gets stuck at 70-80bpm sometimes. [image: 1769498454420-screenshot_20260124-173404.png]

@salusi I have the same issue, my current solution is to use an old Polar H10 I have lying around. There are other threads where people seem to have the same issue.

Please, create a search feature in the forum to let users find that an idea is already existing and, at least, help them post in the correct threads subjects.
