Software Update 2.40.38 (2025 Q1)

@SuperFlo75 Same here…except the “wind effect on elevation calculation”…It’s still there, mostly experimented on my bike.
I don’t remember having had such obivous effects with previous FW.
As example : SV on my wrist this morning. 80m of elevation on the 10km final descent (and it’s pure descent). -
@Tieutieu Ok, I never noticed this behavior… I did a trail run some days ago when we had heavy wind… and the elevation was similar to another run before when we had calm weather…
-
Not sure if it’s just me… but since this last update my watch sets off the storm alert every morning @ 0700-0715 EST. With no indication of any weather in the area…

I noticed that the touch screen activates when the alarm (alarm clock) goes off. This allows you to tap either “Snooze” or “Dismiss,” but also means you could accidentally press either of these while fumbling to turn it off. I use my watch as a morning alarm (set to vibrate). On several occasions I have accidentally dismissed the alarm due to an accidental touch. I believe I’ve read that several others have had issues with the alarm. Perhaps they are also dismissing them due to accidental touches.
Interestingly, once you dismiss an alarm, the touch screen is no longer activated. So the watch isn’t “unlocked” as it would be if you pressed a button. I think the expected and safer behavior would be to require a button push to dismiss an alarm.

+1 to this request - for alarms making the top button ‘Snooze’ and the bottom bottom ‘Dismiss’ (kinda the same as a workout in that sense - Continue top and End bottom) should provide for a much better user experience and virtually eliminate false alarm dismissal.

These are interesting and fairly simple features/updates that can be implemented.
Quite some very nice ideas are found throughout this forum. I wonder if some of them are recorded/listed for potential implementation.
-
@brechtvb if you want to raise chances that ideas are noticed and listened to, instead of writing them in firmware update jumbo thread you should:
- Search the forum if the idea is already mentioned
- If mentioned in dedicated thread - open it, vote for it, maybe comment that you’re also interested
- If nothing found: Create a new topic. Name it not “ideas to improve” but meaningful like “Alarm should have touch screen disabled”. One idea per topic.
Still keep in mind it’s community forum. Ideas are welcome, but no promises it will be implemented. What seems simple thing sometimes can require complex internal changes.

For many months, the breadcrumb has been a total mess. The location on the map does not update and some totally crazy lines showing some idiotic route that I supposedly traveled.
I often have to reload the route to clear the screen. This is totally unacceptable in this type of equipment. Even the most primitive mobile phones do not do such madness during navigation. The problem is that you do not always notice that the watch is going crazy.
Madness. -

I have a similar problem in the mornings.
When the alarm rings in the morning, the sleep warning screen appears. I say OK and close it, but this time I can’t turn off the alarm, the main screen appears. I have to wait for the alarm to end.
This is very interesting -
I confirm, from personal experience, that this firmware (2.40.38) correctly tracks the swim distance.
It does not correctly detect the swimming style, but this is less important to me.Thanks, bye.
