Software Update 2.48.16 (2025 November Rain release)

@Dareo iOS app. Sleep per day… But I don’t know what the 9PP limitations are…

Hari Seldon

@2b2bff Same behavior, perhaps slightly worse on Suunto Run, reported some time ago.

Stavrogin

@2b2bff Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you so so so so much!

I could not figure out why my sleep tracking was such a mess until I saw this picture. I was looking at the heart rate separately in the heart rate block, but as I look at my heart rate in my sleep tracking I am seeing exactly the same thing. I get why tracking has been so so bad. It’s the OHR.

2b2bff

@Stavrogin ehm, not exactly. Sleep tracking is done only by watching your movement, not your heart rate. HR is tracked the same time, but not taken into account - at least according to the manual…
Maybe it was better if HR is interpreted as well…

Stavrogin

@2b2bff I’m wondering if they are connected with Suunto. I understand what you’re saying but so many people have had issues with Suunto sleep tracking maybe this is the reason we never figured out.

Dareo

@2b2bff Thanks. Still don’t find it so maybe that info isn’t available for the 9PP or the Android app.

At least it is available in the Android app but you need to activate it:

Hi everyone. Yesterday I experienced what I described…on a road bike, and I had a Suunto heart rate monitor, power meter, and live tracking (app) connected, which adds up to three Bluetooth connections…the beeps and alerts kept coming…
Halfway through the ride, after a pause, I decided to leave the live tracking (app). The connection disconnected, and since then, the beeps or alerts have stopped… V2 watch and I don’t have a phantom list of sensors, only a belt and bike power meter.

@Dareo not for 9PP, a few of our sleep stats on the app have been taken from us recently unfortunately (HR graph, total deep sleep and time awake all gone).

Dareo

@Mads-Hintz-Madsen Thanks. I already have Sleep Tracking and all the associated options activated. Just had a look and still not there. According to @The_77 it’s not available for the 9PP.

Dareo

@The_77 Well shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

in case anyone is still interested in the battery drain issue

Suunto Verical TI Solar with the November rain FW
depleted already 2 times (just for those who might claim is a calibration issue(
using it mainly for activities and leaving it aside the rest of the day, within the reach of the Wifi network (in case this is of only help considering that there was an update that made the watch automatically download the gnss data)
HR measurements on
notifications on - but since it is left at home there isn’t any notifications to the watch from my mobile
exercising like 1 hour a day with suunto’s smart belt

after doing meticulous testing
it consumes on average 10% a day . That’s definitely not in line with the specs or what was happening some (many) months ago.

So despite the claim of the battery drain being FIXED, it’s definitely not the case with me. The only other possible explanation would be that battery has degraded significantly over the last 2 years.

In any case, the whole situation is far from ideal

I still don’ t understand how to see new running metrics (ground contact etc).
I use Vertical 2 with latest firmware, with or without Stryd, with or without custom mode and in all cases I don’t see those metrics…

I have this data with all others available after the run:

@thanasis I’ve seen multiple reports linking battery drain with HR belts (I noticed that you use a belt too). Apparently the BT connection doesn’t get shut off after a workout. Maybe that’s your case too.

My recent experience with Vertical 2 wrt battery life is quite good since I switched off the AOD in both day to day and activities (I don’t normally navigate with my watch so only check the screen occasionally).

After a full charge (with some extra time to make sure I am at a real 100%) I can report that I’m at 50% after 9 full days (216 hours) including 6:30 hours of GPS activities (running, biking). In fact, it seems that GPS usage with AOD off is better than the 65 hours in the specs. I consume less than 1% per GPS hour! Without activities I get 5% per day and sometimes even less, possibly depending on the number of notifications I receive.

These are my current settings:

AOD OFF
Raise to wake DISPLAY ONLY
247 HR ON
Sleep tracking ON with HRV without spo2
Wireless OFF
BT discovery OFF
Notifications ON

For reference, with AOD ON and the rest of the settings as above, I got about 7% per day without activities and about 2% per GPS hour. For me, that’s a huge difference.

I am new to Suunto (Race 2) and have a question about BT Discovery. Does it always have to be active for the watch to connect to the smartphone/app? Or is it only needed for connecting, i.e. so that the watch is visible to Bluetooth devices, and can be deactivated after a successful connection?

gkaempfer

@pgrob you need it on only for pairing. After that you can turn it off. App syncs fine when off.

pgrob

@Gideon-Kaempfer
Great, thank you for your quick reply. I’ll disable that then.

Today in the morning all watch faces were gone, only the default one was shown on the Vertical. No choice in individual settings, there was only the default one.

After 2 hours and several syncs with the app the watch faces were back, but I have to configure it. The watch faces were in the standard configuration (colour and complications). I never had this on my Vertical.

Running the actual firmware.

I turned off my watch yesterday and turned it on today again. Watch was set to 01:01 on January 1st and told me to sync with the app before starting new adventures. It took a few attempts until the watch connected correctly to the App and has been back to normal after syncing again…
Never had this before…

I think it makes sense to open separate topics for the various issues one may encounter.
Posting them under the update information will maybe lead to others not finding them…
