So once again, despite having auto updates set to OFF, my 9PP updated to latest s/w overnight.

I just want the watch I purchased, which had stable HR monitor, good battery life, and counted steps correctly.
Now all these things are broken, but I’ve got some ugly carousel scrolling and promise of some themed watch faces I’m not interested in…

[babychai]

@surfboomerang yes, all the while i always set Custom setting same with Performance mode then Performance mode will become default but after this update it can’t. Really thanks for your confirmation.

@Antonello85 Same behaviour for me on my Race S regarding the second hand being white no matter what accent colour I choose with the Simplicity watch face. I tried restarting, uninstalling and then reinstalling the watch face, and unfortunately it’s stuck on white. This obviously isn’t a huge deal, but it’s a bit annoying.

[bigwheels87]

Small thing but in the old-school chrono the second hand no longer has a cool color accent, even if the accent color for the watch face is customized to one. Bummer every fix seems to affect things that were fine!

Sleep data now fully synced, good job.

@pavel-samokha Hello, I installed the latest Sfwt and on the same day it recognized/read my sleep at night… the next day I changed the Vertical Week screen to a new one, precisely the Gradual one, and “guala” this morning I discovered the error.
No sleep reading or HRV, I’ll wait another day with Gradual Screen to see if it caused the lack of reading…
Hi, today it seems I’m recording sleep and HRV and with the same screen… I said today I’ll cross my fingers for tomorrow but I’m thinking positive

Hello
Last night it was updated from beta version to the same version.
My first impressions are that the complications on the watch faces have been reset.
There was a 1 second delay in switching between menus at first. Then I restarted it. It was fixed.
Color changing does not work in some interfaces.
Sleep tracking is better.
The interface I wanted has finally arrived more complications can be added.
Battery usage tests are ongoing.

[Antonello85]

Hello, with my Race S Titanium it did not track the sleep the first night after the update, but it did work the second night.
I hope it will be working for now on.

Sleep tracking on the watch works well, but synchronisation on the app still doesn’t work. Only the last half of nightly breaks are displayed there.

Still about 10% battery usage per day with no GPS activity. Vertical.

Really strange, that’s not the case for my Vertical.
Did you try soft rest (upper button 12s) and full battery cycle ? What 's about the lightning setting of the screen ?

I’m still waiting to update to this new version, but after the Q4 2024 disappointment, I’m waiting to see if it works properly before installing it.

For 9PP users, what do you think? Is it worth it? (Compared to v2.39.34)

[Martin Navrátil]

@enriqueescoms For me it works flawlessly. No battery drain, my activities are recorded correctly. What I didn´t check is sleep tracking since I do not use it at all. I don´t know if this answer helps you but at least one positive experience

[maszop]

@Kramble This has been going on for at least a few updates. It’s even been assured a few times that it’s been fixed in a few updates, but as you can see, still no effect.
There are long threads on the forum about battery drain and various attempts to solve it, but without success.

@enriqueescoms Apart from the watchfaces, not much is happening.

S9PP user here!
Two days with the new firmware and I didn’t find important bugs for now. I appreciate the new version of “saving battery” mode. Carousel menu is back and I like it as it has a little zoom-in. No running sessions yet, just weight workout and walking and no problems! (just remember to chek all your fav settings before starting the activities).

Yes, solely because it remembers I don’t want breadcrumb on by default i have no battery related comments yet, sleep always works for me so nothing has changed there, GPS tracks are still pretty decent, I can be very picky about spread under tall tree cover but it’s not hideous, I suspect that loop is difficult in general, lastly I never run with OHR so that is by the by regarding improvements for me.

TBT is both better and not there, as you can read in the thread.

8x loops yesterday here, light rain in forest under cloud, for the 9PP I don’t know how much better I would expect, spread is reasonable.

Same Loop x2 on previous FW, on a lovely sunny day - much worse for the effort loop. Obviously GPS variation is day by day, so I’ll have to wait a bit to see long term

So far everything is fine, during installation the watch face was set to standard, but when adding/sync new watch faces - everything is ok - and thanks for the option to add more complications!!

[localful]

SV solar titanium here.
There seems to be some bugs in getting the new watchfaces to work… I installed all of then via SA and was only succesful in trying out one of them. Additonally, that one also resets to the default verticla face whenever I perform a sync with SA. All in all, seems like it is in a unusable state for me atm.
