Software Update 2.39.44 (2024 Q4 Hotfix + new pool swim algo)

[dulko79]

@Jordi-C same happened to me today. HR measured, but no sleep tracking and resources chart empty.

[Benjamin 0]

On my side, HR tracking ok but for the second time the HR fail few seconds after starting the activity. Then no measure whereas the green light is still operational. Soft reset required to solve the issue, without the issue remains for next activity.
Very annoying…

[Jordi C]

@dulko79 exactly the same behaviour as me.

@pavel-samokha
Any news when the update will arrive to the 9pp?

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Felix-Felicis hearing about last fix not fixing HR problems or introducing them to people who previously didn’t experience it - I’m not sure that I want the fix

Staged update starting on February 10th 2025 for Race S, Race and Vertical

This update brings improvements and bug fixes.
Improvements and bug fixes:

• Pool swim distance accuracy improved
• Daily HR and sleep tracking problems fixed
• Stability improvements and bug fixes
• One WiFi connection problem fixed

Not yet for Suunto 9 Peak Pro, still being tested

I found one more problem with a new firmware.

If I create structured workout, the watch doesn’t count how much distance left and therefore cannot show me next steps, if it is distance based workout.

For example, if according to training program I have to swim 100m and I do that, at the end the watch still show me, that 100m left.

To demonstrate this I recorded this short video:
https://youtube.com/shorts/El_WJFhMOmY?si=Kk6KUz9FO3GZI5bO

Here just as example I created workout with 100m distance. I “swam” 25m (imitation). The watch should show me that 75m left, but they still show me that 100m left.

During actual swimming training today I had the same problem.

On previous firmwares it worked correctly.

[borgelkranz]

Today sleep tracking failed. Was the first time since this update. Don’t know if it is the same bug or a different one.

[Jordi C]

My sleep tracking has failed for the second time in a 3 days period.

[dulko79]

@Jordi-C my race s tracked sleep just fine after the fail the other day. After the fail I did soft reset. Did you do soft reset?

[Jordi C]

@dulko79 Yes, yesterday I did a soft reset.

This morning my sleep tracking was detected as a nap, followed by a short period of sleep, I have to say that the battery was very low, around 6%, when I woke up, I don’t know if that had anything to do with it.

I charged the watch to 100% and went for a walk, after the first kilometer I realised that my watch was not detecting my HR.
I had to stop the activity and do another soft reset to make everything work properly.

The truth is that the last 2 updates are being quite messed up.

The issue with the hr being stoped it is really bad . I have had it twice already .

As other users, for the second night in a row my Race detected a few hours of sleep followed by a couple of hours of nap. This is the first time I have issues after this update (which seemed to have solved the previous one I had, where sleep tracking wasn’t working at all)

[Ars Vitae]

@Devis I confirm. In my recent training, it is clear that the watch did not recognize a single length in the backstroke style. There must be something in that. Swimming in the pool is, in my opinion, the Suunto’s weakest point. Despite the many advantages of the watch for those for whom swimming is an integral part of training, the unresolved accuracy problem must be a major disappointment.

[althaea35]

After attempting many different fixes, sleep tracking, HRV, and resources have become too ‘hit and miss’ on the Race for me. I am downgrading to the previous firmware.

Have others done the same?

[Outdoorsy]

@althaea35 I stopped updating firmware. My SV is at version 2.33.16 and works great for me.

[Tieutieu]

I have absolutely no issues at all with both my SRs and SV, with latest fw.

Hello mates.
I already got the reading error last night, a nap reading was recorded (1:13), no Vfc…
The usual setting in RACE is not to disturb, the night before I installed the vertical week screen, nothing more. Another detail, but I don’t think it’s decisive, is that the battery is at 36%…
I will wait another night in case the failure occurs before the software degradation…I like to have information from Vfc daily, I imagine like you
…Hi, something very strange. At 1:30’ after getting up, the reading for last night’s sleep appeared…other times it had been within minutes but this time I had time to publish the lack of readings…

[ChrisA]

@Tieutieu almost the same here, sleep tracking works and worked before the update and afterwards as does workout tracking on the Race S. I had one occasion when OHR stopped working after I started a workout (green light was on, but HR stayed at some value and never changed). Restarted three times and in the pre-workout screen HR was shown but then got locked immediately after starting. Took down the watch, cleaned sensors and wore it at the inside if the wrist which suddenly fixed the problem

[thanasis]

Coming back to battery drain with the firmware .
I do observe much higher battery consumption . It is similar to the pre previous firmware when the big issue was reported .

So far this version has strange oHR behavior (losing hr measurements during activities with no apparent reason) and the battery is really not that great despite leaving the watch to do this calibration with running out battery and recharging

Anyone with similar results ?

Thanks

[SuperFlo75]

@thanasis I think you are right… it seems that the battery consumption of my SV is to high now…
