Suunto 2.50.28 hot-fix Q4
-
@Highlands heh, watch just magicaly woke up after 3 days, it’s like Jesus
too bad I already ordered coros… -
@Likarnik
I’m really glad the watch has “come back to life” — fingers crossed it’s just a small hiccup and nothing more serious.
Which Coros model did you go for?
Whichever of the two you end up keeping, I wish you lots of great adventures with it!
-
@Highlands thanks, I ordered apex 4 and dura combo as I was already looking for a bike computer

For the second time since i have the 2.50.xx version, my watch stopped recording HR (the HR sensor light doesn’t turn on), only turning it off and on again fixed it.
This bug was present 1ish year ago and was supposedly fixed, I think there’s a regression here ^^
-
And today I wanted to get up early for a morning running sesh.
I set up my watch alarm to wake up at 6:10AM.
I woke up to my wife alarm at 6:50AMmy watch was “off” (despite being well charged).
I sent the logs as soon as the watch turned on.its really frustrating to not be able to trust a watch to do things so basic, fortunately it’s just a missed run, but I used this function to catch planes before, I will never do it again because there’s a non zero chance the thing will never wake me up…
-
Once again, my 9PP updated to this latest s/w overnight, despite Automatic updates being disabled.

@Benjamin-0
Thats useful to know. My battery drains a third every day, without any activities. My watch is close to two years old so I think suunto will refuse to look at it. I’m so annoyed by this as i’ve been a suunto user for 15+years, and have never had a problem. I bought the watch to use for long Ultra races, which I now don’t feel comfortable in using. -
@Geoffwilli if its not two years old you might still be under warranty, its worth a try
-
Answearing to myself, my watch did turn off again this night, so it might not be related to alarms (none was active).
I will hard reset it -
@Geoffwilli with this latest fw I have a stable daily drain of around 10% including 30 to 60 mins of GPS activity per day - SVTiSolar which I received as a replacement last September. I have a paired Polar H10, I suspect this may be the reason.
-
My Suunto Race battery seems to be draining much faster than on the previous firmware, and it’s clearly not just me
-
@Milan-Šádek That seems a reasonable amount of drain per day. I’m experiencing around 35% drain every 24hrs with no activities on my race, so charging every other day. I have no faith in using the watch for anything over 50mile races. This is silly, as I purchased the watch for 100 miles races etc.
-
My race S also drain faster in daily use, I find myself to recharge it more often (1 day earlier ?) than before.
-
@Geoffwilli with my old unit I’d get 6–8% drain per day with an hour of GPS (sometimes even below 6%). I even remember finishing a 50km race and the watch still being at 23% ten days later.
This replacement watch started off okay at around 6–7.5% on older firmware, but now it’s jumped to 10%+ daily. It’s a huge step backward and honestly pretty frustrating. Is anyone else seeing this jump after the latest update?
-
@Milan-Šádek I don’t know which watch you have but if it’s a Race S (9 days with HR, without GPS => 11%/day) or Race 1 (13 days with HR, without GPS ==> 7-8%/day) then I think you are getting what you should expect (assuming you are NOT using AOD which reduces battery life further). No?
With my Vertical 2, latest firmware (2.50.28), I am getting 14 days with 25 hours of GPS (running, cycling) which is exactly what the V2 spec implies (21 days with HR, without GPS => 5%/day and 65 hours of best GPS => 1.5%/hour extra for GPS).
I don’t use external BT connectivity except for the Android App (on Android 16). You may get worse drain if you use external HR belts etc. -
I don’t know were you live but suunto repaired mine without any issue (race s - 1y1/2 old). In FR we have a 2y waranty.
-
@gkaempfer as mentioned earlier, I have Vertical 1 Ti Solar with Polar H10. So no AMOLED display.
-
@Milan-Šádek Have you turned off the BT discovery? I feel like that helped me a little bit.
-
Random Suunto bug hit my Race S yesterday. Put the Watch on the charger, dismissed some notifications and reseated it to get the charging screen. A couple of seconds later the Suunto logo greated me as the watch rebooted itself… Reliablity, man…

I have the Vertical 1 Ti solar as well and paired with a Polar H9 but I don’t see this kind of battery drain. I see around 3% per day (no 24/7 HR and sleep)
