Suunto 2.50.26 – Q4 2025 Release Notes

Marcus001

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?

@atoponce said in Suunto 2.50.26 – Q4 2025 Release Notes:

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.

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?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@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

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I opened a dedicated thread about thedistance discrepance topic: http://forum.suunto.com/topic/14375/race-2-gps-and-distance-accuracy-vs-previous-suunto-models/18?_=1768210465664

My Race2 is showing 1%-3% less distance than Vertical and RaceS in all activities.

Yesterday I did a crazy test: I recorded activities on a car ride with the Race2 and the Vertical 1 (I started a ‘Cycling’ activity). 25km out and 25km back. The difference between the two was no more than 100m, and around 100m with the Amazfit Zepp app on my phone.

However, when walking or running, the differences jump to 100-200m over 10km, even though the GPX files show similar positions and distances. Are there differences in the algorithms used to calculate distance and pace between the watches?

@sky-runner Ad. [1] - I reported to Suunto the same issue. As a exemple: On a well-known trail, over a distance of 16 km, I noticed a difference of more than 400 m between the predicted elevation and that recorded by the SV. (900m against 1360) However, this problem is not caused by the current update, but by previous ones.

@nicovoim
My ressources begin to work again. It seems a little bit different but after the update 5 days ago it is better now.

Ok, looks like my phone app updated from 3.7.0 -> 3.7.1 and it reset my sleep time to be 00:00 - 00:00 again. So I did workaround one more time and it looks like sleep/hrv is ok again… but doing this after every app update is not really optimal.

When you pair Stryd with the watch, the pairing shows that the foot pod either supports “speed & cadence, power” or it is the source of that data. So if the watch isn’t getting speed from the food pod, what is being shown here?

@atoponce scrolling through lap table has been asked multiple times but it’s hasn’t arrived yet, I didn’t read this was made available in latest firmware, so we’ll have to wait and see in future.

it seems to me that there are no more warnings about (fake) “Map downloading” while charging the watches

Hi guys,

Since the update I can’t use Interval Training during my workout (running)
Before I was able to define them in the App and use them from the SuuntoPlus menu.

Now on the watch in SuuntoPlus I only see App I have download like Race Nutrition, live pacer or ghost runner)

Any one with similar issue on the Suunto Race?

atoponce

@herlas Yeah. It was a mistake on my part thinking it landed in this firmware release. Here’s to hoping we see it soon!

yes, and if you read this thread before posting, you will find the discussion (and workaround) for this issue

Doesn’t it seem that with the new firmware, before starting any activity, heart rate detection is much slower than before?

With 24/7 heart rate monitoring active, it takes me about 15 seconds for the heart rate indicator to turn green, and I swear it used to be almost instantaneous.

enriqueescoms

@Egika I apologize if this question is inappropriate, but do you have any information on whether Suunto is working on this issue?

Jan Krejčí

@Marcus001 Absolutely this! That would be fantastic
