Suunto 2.50.26 – Q4 2025 Release Notes
-
@jjpaz Yes, but that was not the point in the post I answered to. There was the question if this new behavior also affects older models like the Race 1. In fact that issue that you and many other currently report holds me back from ordering an Vertical 2 (and the fact that the BLE issues haven’t been fixed as it seems).
-
@MarkusG I am only saying this because I had massive issues with my Garmin Fenix 7x. There is a major issue with the altimeter and it can read wild numbers. Mine would jump wildly. Not saying that is the issue, but it is a known issue with gen 7 Fenix/epix devices. That is why the new ones have the ugly guard on the side of them.
TBH that is one of the reasons I was motivated to try Suunto back then
Red is the Fenix 7x
Green is Stryd Pod on the Fenix
Blue is a Coros Vertix.

@Sportsfreund Ah, good then, I thought so too but for some reason I was having trouble activating it. I admit that I didn’t look into it thoroughly after failing with it.
I would like to have vo2max for rowing.

I’ve been testing the new algorithm for the optical HR sensor (SR1) a bit more. It feels subjectively more akin with my perceived exertion, also during two – 10 deg C runs and a XC ski activity. No more strange dips and spikes from the hr sensor. Testing together with my Polar OH1 during indoor cycling, it’s continuously within one beat from the belt.
So for now, I’m impressed and very happy with the improvement! Well done Suunto team! -
@nicovoim ah… didn‘t think of this, thanks. Will see if it changes after two weeks

It appears that this firmware release is still not sourcing pace and distance from the Stryd foot pod when paired when GPS is locked. It does use the pod however when doing treadmill runs.

Well, early this morning, the Race S updated itself (despite having automatic updates disabled).
So far, there’s a minor issue: one of the eight custom sport modes is missing (specifically MTB).

Thanks for big update!
I would appreciate better notifications from the phone. Right now, it’s only a preview. The option to display the full message would be good. Also, it could handle pictures too. But I understand — Suunto are sports testers not lifestyle watch. -
Great update. Thanks.
Regarding turn-by-turn navigation, is it possible to use the turning points as waypoints so that you can also see when the next turn is coming up in the data field? -

I would have thought that this is exactly how it is and how it should be designed. Is there an indication that makes you think otherwise?
-
@sky-runner that is strange. Can you please try to keep those in a separate post? So I can source them to the team.
I am suspecting the the previous try could have fluctuations
