Software Update 2.40.38 (2025 Q1)

OMG THANK YOU SUUNTO!!!
After two years of having Vertical I finally got my first VO2max
I’ve tried all kinds of tricks, trying to keep my HR in certain area for long enough as instructed by the official support. I tried with and without chest strap. In the end all it took was a long aerobic walk. 1h 16min in this case.
All the talks about “must be absolutely perfect GPS and HR” is now quite questionable since I even popped in a big store for a few minutes to buy a couple of things. And I only had optical HR (but it was my better wrist).
No sarcasm, I had actually given up all hope. I settled for CTL and other metrics when I saw that they were in line with my dropped weight, improved aerobic performance and better feelings altogether. But now I got the last missing measurement

Possibly a bug on my Vertical: when I disable Wi-Fi under the Wireless Network Automatic menu, the setting doesn’t stick. When I return to the menu, it’s enabled again. If you don’t mind letting me know whether I’m alone with this issue, I’d appreciate it. Not a big deal, by the way — thanks to the developers for their work.

Today on my Race S during a ride the HR sensor stopped suddenly and only came back after restarting the watch once coming home, the green led wasn’t flashing anymore, even after cleaning the sensor.
As you can see, the HR stopped just before 40’ and i’m pretty sure my heart was still beating
Anyone experience this problem ?

Still about 10% battery usage per day with no GPS activity. Vertical.
And what setups you’ve left? What’s exactly is on and what’s off? My SV 1 - 1,5% battery usage with only bluetooth turned on.

First night with new SW and S9PP starting, so lets see how the sleep tracking will go.
Edit: First night sleep tracking worked, so all good for now.Some first impressions from today are that GNSS is not the new one which was introduced in the previous version.
And after the update the previous watch face was there still for awhile before going back to default one. It needed few syncs before it was possible to add new WF, even app says that you have it on your watch, so some odd behavior there was, as someone else also reported.
Great to see the carousel back as the active widget is now much bigger.
-
@maszop The same procedure as everytime… it works fine for all test persons… and we make a beta-test for less 24 hours…
-
@SuperFlo75 fingers crossed next time it’ll be a week or more!
-
@Ars-Vitae I always use the same settings, sleep tracking, 24h HR, etc.
It used to be 3-4% per day. After some buggy update a long time ago the battery drain problem appeared (many people reported it on the forum) and it has remained that way to this day.@SuperFlo75 Testers never seem to see any problems. That’s the problem with Suunto.
I hope that this public beta (despite its ridiculous duration) is a signal that something is changing. -
@maszop I guess, a lot is fixed behind the curtains. Let’s see what happens when there is a time window to actually have a meaningful test in public…
With Garmin’s public betas, there are reports from the testers and the software is released with reported bugs anyway.
-
@2b2bff Garmin is a giant, it can afford a lot. Absurd prices, subscriptions, bugs, etc. It doesn’t matter. People buy it en masse anyway.
Suunto cannot afford something like that to survive. Customers’ patience does not last forever, especially since an alternative exists and is developing rapidly. -
Today first swim session with the new frimeware : autolap now works perfectly. Speed / average speed / time / distance : all perfectly calculated ( i pushed the wall every lap).
Thanks for the work and this update for swimmers everything seems to be correct
-
On all activities I tried since the update, none of them were a custom mode, had the battery mode set to “custom”, not “performance”.
I tried to adjust the 3 settings of the custom mode to match the performance mode, no effect. Some of the activities were running (basic), pilates, cross training, walking.
A soft reboot doesn’t solve the issue.
Not a big issue but mega annoying. -
@jjorgemoura yes, this is what i report previously. Battery mode always go back to Custom even though the settings are same with Performance mode.

In my case, a September or October update solved the problem. And I’m sorry that for your watch this problem has not been yet solved. If it could help a little I remember that in my case it was gps issue so I rebooted my watch after every activity with maps, every time. After that update, I didn’t even have to restart the watch, the problem disappeared.

Today’s morning report. Somehow 54 is less than 47…
BTW: Translation: “unterhalb dem Normalwert” is widely used in conversations, but gramatically correct is “unterhalb des Normalwerts”.

@2b2bff the graph doesn’t show your last night’s value. But the 7 days average. And it’s 46 (I think?), which is less than 47.
-
I updated my Race S titanium recently and since then sleep tracking only worked if I opened the sleep app/widget after waking up.
Yesterday I restarted the watch hoping this would help, but now the sleep tracking didn’t work even after opening the app/widget in the morning.
Other than that I also encountered the reset of the watch face settings during the update process. -
No sleep tracking for two nights after the update with Race. The previous update worked perfectly, is there a way to go back to that?

@Ghost
Mine is the opposite behaviour. Can’t enable it. Neither on the watch, nor in the app.
