Software Update 2.43.8/.12 (2025 Q2)
-
@atoponce in suggesting the issue might be the gps firmware what I meant was that a change in it’s behaviour might cause the watch to be more busy dealing with gps and might ‘miss’ bluetooth data or similar. Or maybe a spike in power demand on the gps caused the bluetooth to drop power or temporarily pause. Something like that. Sports watches are a whole community of communicating devices handling specific tasks rather than one big, powerful processor.
-
@far-blue Ah, fair point. Yeah, I’ve wondered the same. Even so much as if using a 7-field display is creating too much stress for the firmware and doing a 3-field display would reduce that stress.
-
I have power 10 sec average together with speed and cadence on a 3-field display. Every 60 seconds the power (bike power meter) is 0 and starts to count again.

@pilleus I have the same issue, however, after the activity is uploaded, I don’t see the drops in Suunto app. I am using it for indoor cycling using a smart trainer, so no GPS is being used.
-
The data in SA are not affected by the bug, these are correct for me too. And I don’t think it’s a BLE problem, because cadence is working fine while power is set to 0 and both are broadcasted with the same BLE connection.

Unfortunately YES!
Please read my posts and you will learn about swimming problems.Suunto attempted to improve the old algorithm for counting pool length, which worked very well, and completely broke it.
Of course, after the third update it went back to normal, but unfortunately the problem with recognizing swimming style remained and none of the Suunto engineers know how to fix it!?
From my recent observations (I already wrote about it), it appears that the last update is less resistant to errors.
Today it counted the distance correctly, but it broke up my 100m intervals into 50m (ok, no drama).
I would like to point out that everything was fine with the old algorithm, both in counting and in recognizing, so why these changes?
During planned exercises, it is not important for me to recognize the style because I know that I swam, for example, the “crawl” or “butterfly”, but in varied swimming (4 styles alternately) it is important what I did in order, and in the current situation I am going crazy because everything is mixed up!

@atoponce you downgraded to 2.43.8? No real changes between .8 and .12, so the bug should be in both

@Mister-PYC
Yes, I agree with You. This is a problem for visually impaired people.I cope with this by configuring additional screens by placing a single piece of information that interests me on them.
There is also the possibility of using Suunto Plus “Big Number” but this screen is not configurable and only shows: duration, current time and heart rate.
I hope someone from Suunto IT will take some steps in this direction.
-
@isazi Yes, because I only started noticing the problem after the upgrade to .12. I didn’t notice this issue on .8.

Where may I report this bug?
-
@aiv4r well in that case it wouldn’t fit in the days next to it as well…
@GiPFELKiND as I didn’t enable Auto-DND, I haven’t set times for it. I just manually switch on DND as I go to bed. Or do you mean a different setting?

S9PP updated
-
@2b2bff i mean your time when you go to bed. On the Vertical e.g. i have to set my earliest go in bed time and my latest wake up in the Morning time.
-
@GiPFELKiND can’t find such a thing on the Race S…
-
9PP update joys aside, I see one little sport mode customisation escaped the official list up too.
Now I don’t have to run the climb S+ app to see gradient, praise be.
There’s also a ride coasting time one that wasn’t mentioned, which is a good metric for seeing how much you’ve sat on someone’s wheel I guess.
-
S9PP updated tonight!
As first I have seen the watch doesn’t show the min and max bpm in sleep report anymore…minor thing as the min bpm appears in the app.
