Software Update 2.43.8 (2025 Q2)
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I tried doing a soft reset and then using the “automatic altitude change” feature. I will check again. I have observed an increase in battery consumption now and I am testing it.
-
@safari Dont expect the altitude calibration to be precice in <5m . Its around the 10-15m ballpark. 4m is nothing for altitude calibrations
-
Hm still no update for me.

-
@pavel.samokha What happens if I am not on my regular WIFI…
Will I not receive AGPS updates via BLUETOOTH? -
@Danny-poleg WiFi A-GPS sync is an addition, not a replacement for BLE A-GPS sync

Thanks for the update, but …
- Still no native multisport modes apart of triathlon. This is a pity, as it basically makes the watch unusable for sports like duathlon, swim-run, etc., because transitions are lost and it is dangerous to mess around with the watch while competing.
- After each update, most individually configured options for sport modes (e.g. auto lap on/off, auto pause, …) are reset and have to be reconfigured manually for each sport mode. This is a PITA for the user and shouldn’t be hard to change.

@Łukasz-Szmigiel no update here either for S9PP…
-
@pavel.samokha Thank you very much
I would like to know where I can find more information about the update in English video format -

You can hold upper button during some activity to turn on another activity. This will be a multisport.
Not sure though if it indicates transition times. Also, as far as I remember, there is “SwimRun” app in Suunto Plus.
-
@fv4500 I’ve just read that S9PP will get it later.
-
@borgelkranz Mine seemed to fail too … first time ever that had happened. I went to switch sleep tracking off then on again to see if that would fix anything, and the moment I clicked that toggle button, the watch showed the sleep report screen. And it synced my sleep to the app.
So it’s like it still recorded in the background but needed a step force it to sync the first day after the update.

Does anyone know if this bug was fixed?

I really like this update after having tried out some low hanging fruit today. But I don’t understand why the Changelog sells itself short to such a degree that my first impression was a sleepy scroll down for trouble reports. The long list of new data fields could have been spruced up with a bold Some SuuntoPlus Data Now Native!. A couple of very interesting data pages can be stitched together while incorporating these new data points (too bad we only have three pages to play with). Below is a test of timers and ZoneSense - which will need some explanations… Observe that no S+ app was active during the run.
First the page setup in the SA:
And then the actual field test:
What happened is that I ran barefoot during the first 4 kilometres (“Moving time” 27m33s), paused the watch and sat down to lace on a pair of DIY XeroShoes sandals. Takes some time to wrap long laces around the ankles… (“Pause time” 5m49s). Unpaused the watch and stood still to take the picture (“Rest time” 9s) while the “Total time” now was at 33m32s and “Zonesense Aerobic” had been active for 17m43s (yeah, not optimal that all three ZS icons are identical).
Overall a fun experience. But the lack of clear visual distinctions between the timers (and as said, ZS) put a lot of pressure on our brains. I’m not sure I would understand the figures during a more strenuous exercise.

@TrailEyes thanks for the advice. Didn’t work for me though.

Application svryd cannot be used on SR.

First of all, I’m really happy with the new data fields!
The only downside is that a lot of them have no icons or misleading icons. Windspeed forecast has the same icon as velocity/speed for example.
This makes it very difficult to distinguish all the numbers on the screens during training. You have to memorize the position of the datafields -
@Inge-Nallsson I would’ve rather have the option to have Zonesense zones on the perimeter where we currently have HR-zones and then customizible data fields.
Now we can only have it in the Zonesense data page which is not customizible.
-
@JANTIKAINEN Agreed that changeable periphery would be ideal. But we can come a long way with just one simple data field. For example, in a ‘sports mode’ specifically tailored for long endurance runs I would place a “Zonesense an-aerobic” field next to my ‘HeartRate’ field. That’s enough! As long as my RPE is 2-3 on a scale of 10, my HR where I would like it and the ZS field doesn’t start to accumulate time, then I’m fine. If ZS racks up numbers I change effort however possible - relaxing bodyareas, slowing pace, walking etc.
Tomorrow I will do repetitions (Pace based) slightly below the upper Lactate Threshold (LT2). For that I’ll use just a “Zonesense vo2max” field amongst the others. Same priciple there. Preferable that no time gets registered in that field.
