Software Update 2.48.16 (2025 November Rain release)
-
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… -
@Egika however it can be dealt with the best. It used to be tha way to report bugs in the firmware version thread, me thinks…
-
If it is FW related, it makes sense.
If it is general watch behavior, maybe better open a separate thread
Now there are questions that ask how to set the BT visibility… -
@Egika
Actually, I asked whether the BT Discovery setting must always be active, not where the setting needs to be made. The question arose because many people are posting their settings in this thread. That’s why I asked here. If the question was wrong, I wasn’t aware of it. -
@thanasis said in Software Update 2.48.16 (2025 November Rain release):
The only other possible explanation would be that battery has degraded significantly over the last 2 years
I recently found something interesting looking at a JSON file downloaded from Suunto App for Mac: there are two fields named “BatteryDesignCapacity” and “BatteryFullCapacity” that suggest the current health state of the watch battery. In my case, the full capacity is over 88% of the design capacity, which seems fair after more than 2 years of use.

@Egika I think the problem is that when you have paired a footpod, even if you don’t use it, it is still reported in the file (I see in json file that a footpod is paired even if I was not wearing it).
Somebody else using stryd can test to run without stryd to see if he got those metrics ?? -
@Elmiuel I tried to deactivate the live tracking app, but the problem with the smart belt which is connecting and disconnecting all the time is the same
-
@SuperFlo75 Hi SuperFlo75, in my post I referred to using 3 Bluetooth connections (tracking app, Suunto band and bike power meter). After that, I had to discard one of them because during the activity both the band and the bike power meter kept disconnecting…
Regarding what you mentioned about the band, my Suunto band, which is about a year old, also started disconnecting continuously during every activity… after examining it closely, I noticed that one of the plastic parts had a strange crease. After contacting Suunto’s warranty service, it was quickly replaced.
-
@Elmiuel ok, I only use smart belt, tracking app… the smart belt is a new one… I bought a new one for my wife not long ago… but she didn’t use it. The new belt has the same crazy behavior like my belt which is about one year old… it‘s not the belt. As this behavior started the first workout after last update, I think or hope it’s due to the firmware, and not due to the hardware.
-
I have the same except mine averages about 12% per day. I don’t think it’s battery degradation because I actually sent my watch to suunto repair in Sydney Australia and they said the battery hardware is fine. So it’s some sort of issue from an update.
To be honest I’m kind of tired talking about it. It’s exhausting and nothing has changed I doubt suunto will fix it .
