@Tieutieu I know, but does it mean “there will be no Q4 update” or “no, this is just a hotfix, Q4 will come later” ? : )

Exactly, I understood that 2.48.16 is not Q4.

And the question to that answer was:

Is this a Q4 update or just an additional bugfixes update?

@Squirrel I thought it was Q4

Well, if not Q4, then there’s quite some new features coming in Q4 that I thought were reserved for Q1 2026. Let’s see.

@isazi sounds promising

New features:

• Ground contact time and vertical oscillation in running log summary

Can somebody answer me the question why the new feature (ground contact time and vertical oscillation) is only available for the newer (2) watches? Missing Hardware (which one?), processor speed or just software?

This question is not answered yet. Is somebody able to say something to this topic?

@Francesco-Pagano I did several soft resets over the weekend to sort a different issue & noticed the same behaviour afterwards, a lag when scrolling up into sportsmodes.

A few times the sports mode “shapes” were presented but with no icon or writing inside, I had to scroll back down & back up before they populated correctly.

No issue today though & scrolling fluidly again.

@Mitch9 it is only available for the two new models, R2 and V2

@Horizontal_2 i have after 3 days 80% thats 6.7% per day.
AOD off
Raise to wake (display only)
Low brightness
24/7 hr tracking + sleep tracking with blood oxygen and hrv
Phone notifications

So Race 2 will do around 15days which is less as (up to) 18days advertised. But still good battery life. Not doing sport lately so i can’t tell about GPS consumption yet.

I know but I’m interested in the reason.

[sartoric]

@Mitch9
hardware … or because it is what it is

[Horizontal_2]

@Tomas5
Thanks. I have about the same.

3 days 79%. (started from 99%)
AOD off
Raise to Wake or DND
Low brightness
Same sleeptracking
No notifications
It includes 1 h 50 min of running with map and HR-belt

The weird thing is: before the run (yellow) it’s better than after (green).

@isazi I‘m not sure if we need new features… in the moment, I would be happy to have ‚old‘ basic features back… like low battery consumption or a BT HR Belt wich is working smooth with my SV

[SuperFlo75]

Hello guys, I told you some days ago that I noticed that the Suunto HR belt is not working smooth since the last firmware update of my SV… the connection gets lost every minute… and after some minutes, an acoustic signal tells that the connection is back… before my training today, I disconnected the belt and reconnected it… but nothing changed. The belt was bought 10/24 and I renewed the battery about one month ago… after one year of usage. The problem started directly after the last firmware update… what should I do? @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos @pavel.samokha would it be helpful to send logs? Is it the watch or the belt? The belt should be under warranty, I think?

Maybe it could be mentioned to suunto from people here that have the ability to talk them instead of worrying about new updates to fix the battery drain problem that many of us are having?

Personally I wish they would allow me to “update”
Back to whatever firmware came with my suunto vertical over 2 years ago when I bought it was it worked perfect back then.
