As @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos suggested in https://forum.suunto.com/post/183086 i wanted to with additional data (however i am using a race 2 not a vertical 2):
I ran a flat route (track training) - to give you an impression:

With the latest firmware the watch tracked 16m ascent / 0m descent, see picture and .fit file:
Running_2026-01-08T17_37_59.fit
This corresponds with the latest firme 2.50.26 (altitude and temperature):

For your reference the former firmware was working fine:
Running_2025-12-18T17_41_36.fit
This corresponds with the former firme 2.48.16 (altitude and temperature):

I couldn’t upload the json files for some reason, please note that i will return to the track on thursday (and most likely every other thursday) so just let me know if there is a setting that i should try and if you need additional infos/data.
Thanks to @GiPFELKiND for opening this thread
(edit: is there a way to scale the pictures somehow? maybe someone can move this thread to ‘watches’ instead of the specific ‘vertical 2’ thread, since this is (i guess) more realted to the firmeware for all watches, rather than a specific watch, thx)
(2nd edit: for my run on the track 2026-01-08 there is potentially additional data available, another race 2 user (same day, same track, and similar training) ran with a race 2, firmware 2.45.16 (NO update that day for him), if that helps)
