Software Update 2.43.8/.12 (2025 Q2)
-
@sky-runner I agree with your statement. I always found it very useful to see trails when in unknown terrain to orient myself. I hope they are fixing it with the next update. And maybe an option to adjust how many feet it meters turn by turn gives a warning. It really makes a difference when biking vs running.
-
Is my understanding correct that with the new ZoneSense data fields it is not required to use the SuuntoPlus app now?
-
Any info on why the 9PP is not getting the update?
-
Coming back to the altitude measurements issue
- leaving the watch idle , it should NOT change either altitude nor the barometric pressure … at the moment a storm (which should have triggered the alarm ) changed both the altitude measurement and the barometric pressure , but that way both indicators were somehow wrong
-
@danct As far as I read it there are only fields for the time in the different zones - but not the zone you are currently in itself. But didn’t try it
-
@isazi FYI I had the same power display dropouts on my long run yesterday. This appears to be pretty consistent new behaviour I’m getting every run.
-
@thanasis This is the Suunto automation that replaced the manual Altimeter/Barometer mode switch found in older watches. Which, despite what people associated with Suunto have written here many times, works poorly.
-
@far-blue okay send me the activity, I’m collecting some examples
-
@isazi Here’s a run where I saw consistent power drops on my Race S despite only stopping twice at intersections. This was an easy run.

I dare say half the time I’m looking at my watch while in full run, the power from my Stryd foot pod either reads 0 or just coming up from 0. Because I use 30s avg for my data field, it takes a bit to climb back up.
-
Voice feedback it’s not working. Two running exercises and no voice in my case.
-
@far-blue I decided to downgrade. I’ve got the Chicago Marathon coming up and I train by power. I don’t want to be second-guessing my power reading or babysitting the watch during my workouts.
Settings > General > About > scroll to bottom > hold bottom button a few seconds > secret menu appears > Select OTA pkg.
I had a few installed, and selected the .8 release.
-
@far-blue Same thing, on every cycling activity with power…
-
-
I met a problem with the maps (Lofoten, Norway), by zooming out some details disappear…
-
@sky-runner Agree with you here, need to see trails and roads at low zoom levels ideally up to 5 km.
-
@isazi I had another longer run today and tried to pay some attention to the dropouts. I think they may be related to where GPS might struggle a little more - under tree cover or underpasses etc.
Also, I suspect it’s actually all bluetooth because I’ve noticed random single RR values in Runalyze that are also very far out from the usually very clean datasets I get.
-
@Stefano-M64 downgrade to 2.37.48 its since many updates the BEST Firmware and stable without Crash. With every new Update Problems like yours comes to the watch. Why upgrade when the system is running without Problems.
-
Has anything changed for Open Water Swimming? I noticed that the measurements are very inaccurate. Last year the watch read very well. My brother has an Ocean and it still reads well. So any change in one of this year’s firmware? Has anyone had a similar experience?
I still swim the same way - I try to keep my watch above the water a lot
-
@Pavlas no change here.
I have quite some recent activities with very good results. Same my partner:

It comes down to the same questions: Have you updated AGPS and given the watch some minutes in the pre-start screen to establish a good set of active satellites? A regular amateur freestyle swimming style should be sufficient. -
@Egika Thank you. I’ll try to wait longer. But my process is still the same. I’ll wait for the GPS signal and get in the water. I know it’s better to wait a while. But I didn’t have any problems last year. I swim breaststroke.
