Suunto 2.50.26 – Q4 2025 Release Notes

Ars Vitae

@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

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I don’t know if this has been already mentioned but Strava Live Segments guide is not available when using a custom sport profile. It seems to be available only when using one of the built-in sports.

This seems like a serious bug. Do any of the field testers use Strava Live Segments?

Same for me. All guides, and yes, including Strava Segments.
I mentioned it in a previous post.

I just tested this at the desk. It took about 2s for the heart to turn green…

enriqueescoms

@Egika Exactly, that’s how long it used to take. Now, for me, it’s taking much longer.

Horizontal_2

@enriqueescoms Tested this two times. First time it was instant, second time it was 4 s.

Have you tried a soft reset?

enriqueescoms

@Egika @Horizontal_2 Well, what seems clear is that it’s not a hardware problem, but rather an issue with the (new ?) firmware.

I downgraded, and heart rate detection before starting any activity is now immediate again.

I updated again, and heart rate detection has become very slow again (about 15 seconds).

P.S.: Along the way, as always, I lost my custom sport modes.

Egika

@enriqueescoms or an issue with other factors, as me and other users don’t need to wait this long with the latest FW…

@Egika As @enriqueescoms I have noticed something similar. I use a Coros HRM armband most of the times (when I want to use Zonesense I use Suunto’s Smart belt). The thing is that the Coros HRM do not have a switch so, it turns on with the contact of the skin or when a device connects to it but in the first case if you put it on but and after a while it is not connected to a device it swithces off to save battery.

With the previous firmwares when the watch looked for sensors it turned on the sensor and connected to it and everything very fast, with the version 2.50.26 it turns the sensor on but does not connect to it, the watch says that the Coros sensor is found but doesn’t connect to it, the watch OHR is working instead and the HR symbol in the watch is without the straps, so I need to go back in the screen and enter again to the sport mode to use the external HR. Moreover with the previous firmaware the sensor connection was 1/2 seconds and now is 4/5 seconds.

I will disconnect and recconect the sensors again to see if it helps.
