SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.35.34 Q2

[Radoslav Elias]

Hi, the new display options per activity are great. But can we get an option to never dim the screen? Without it, the watch is unusable as a cycling computer / navigation mounted on bike handlebars.

Two Suunto sport apps I really like as part of the update is ultra walking and indoor climbing.

I mostly run with my dog and there times when I have to stop to let her pee or drink or sniff etc. knowing how much time of my overall run I actually spent walking vs standing vs actually running is great and useful information.

Indoor climbing is great for my climbing session. Combined with the gym timer it really provides useful info for more productive training sessions.

Amazing Suunto well done! Keep it up !

@BastMaSVSRS9PP For you the Indoor Climbing app works?

Not for me:

Can you describe your set up in the other thread and show us your display?

This is an option only in RACE because of the screen

THanks!!! that is a pitty. I thought it would be possible to configure backlight options (intensity) per sport mode…

I think I have an issue with battery drainage.

i am loosing > 5% every 24hrs. I do not use it that much. without gps for example lately (i am injured and cannot do my weeky run with Gps)

i have charged 100% the 3rd of July. I have 34% battery leftntoday (8th of july) i have registered less than 10hrs exercises.

My config is fine, appart the 24hrs Hr tracking. every thing is off:
brithness: low
standby: off
raise tonwake: off

i think my watch is far from the numbers announced by suunto and by some of you in this forum .

i have the vertical solar… and I am getting a week of baettery now. I used ot have 10-11 days. and I am supposed to get at least the double of that with such a watch.

What do you recommend, think?

Hope folks understand this is not a Suunto thing, it’s pretty much any watch with an OLED screen (think Apple watch and 24 hour battery life - Race still far exceeds that). It’s a trade off - superior display, colours and readability, but screen has to time out to save battery and screen burn in.

That’s why there are choices with brands between MIPS (Vertical/Garmin Fenix) and OLED (Race/Epix). I had the Vertical and only miss the battery longevity one trip per year (multi day backpacking).

For cycling I use a Hammerhead Karoo 2 as it syncs to Suunto App and much easier to read at a glance.

A follow-up regarding step counter;

Today my watch and the step counter works flawless. Still a little bit low, but that’s 100% acceptable because thats better to be on the low side, than other way around.

Before today, Monday the steps almost entirely did stop counting between 4000-5000 steps and that i find strange.

Fully agree! but I have a Vertical and I meant it would be a great idea to have the backlight intentity configurable per sport mode.

I really can’t understand why everything is so secretive…‍️

Hi everyone,

What is this blue X in the centre? (I tried to search but my keywords didn’t return any results, sorry if this is a duplicate…)

[SamuelP]

@BrunoH I think its a bug. Do you have DND on? I got it on the same WF. For me it indicated that DND is on. When i pressed a button to activate the screen it changed to the right “DND icon”.

[BrunoH]

@Samuel-Pirttikangas thanks, that’s it! My dnd hits automatically at 21:00.

[mikekoski490]

@Luis-Andés-Olmedo Gotcha!

[Richard Thygesen]

Hi, I have VO2 in all trainings but not in the watchface and can’t see any statistics regarding that.

[Durri]

@DMytro yes, but it shouldn’t be like that. It’s a mistake.Custom cycling sports profile created exactly like I had on the S9B. It worked there. Not on Race.

[Tieutieu]

Hello, doesn’t someone also noticed slightly higher hrv values since update ?
I’m pretty tired and got a bit hill lately, but my HRV values are at their higher values.

[jjpaz]

@Marton-Attila Same here. 4 days since full charge and battery has dropped more than 40% (4h in GPS activity mode). More than 10% by day.
Never happened before with my Vertical…

[HansLeo]

Regarding battery drain:

I can also add that yesterday my battery was 67% - I’ve also done a soft reset reading some other threads here - and today it is 57% and I haven’t done any activity. The SV is only tracking sleep/hrv and 24/7 HR.

In the previous days the battery was on last friday at 100% and got to 70% after 10hrs of activity tracking (2 walks and one race) with Suunto Plus apps and maps only for the race, the 70% was on Sunday evening before bed. In this case the 30% drain seems normal because of the s+ apps and navigation through maps in all the activities.

[Likarnik]

@Tieutieu today I had highest HRV (102) and lowest HR (44avg, 41min) recorded not sure if I am fit AF or just new firmware First couple of days after update I didn’t have such values, but I had bad sleep (big training days/dehydrated /hot weather…).
