Suunto Software update Q1 (2.53.42)
-
As a rule, after major firmware releases that introduces new features or significantly modify existing ones, it would be really useful to have an official document from Suunto that clearly describes how the new features works, instead of leaving users guessing about.
It would save time to users and would valorize the huge work made by Suunto. -
@aiv4r
Thanks a lot. Did not know that you can observe trends. Where can I find it? Was looking for some explanation how to use this function but couldn’t find any official explanation. But yes, if you can observe trends and you stick with always the same protocol than one can use it. So is then the feedback “normal” also based on your individual trend? Because if Suunto defined what is normal then this might not be accurate if you deviated from their defined protocol. -
@EzioAuditore
There are scientific studies that show that there are actually big differences between standing vs. sitting vs. laying down. So therefore it is quite important how the rest period is performed. -
@brave_dave That is how I understand it based on this video by Suunto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh0gD05DngU it starts on topic at around 5min mark.

@brave_dave Surely there are. That’s why I stated how I porefer it and feel it. I am much more ‘calm’ when after high intensity I slow rather than stop and feel/listen to my heart beat

@Miroslava Treadmills are usually only compatible with Polar chest heart rate straps (not optical armband sensors).

Thanks i didnt know that because i use a biceps belt from Coros

@Danny-poleg If you happen to be referring to the Vector Classic watch face then indeed it has a battery drain issue (at least with the previous firmware). See https://forum.suunto.com/post/187506. I have a V2 running the latest firmware without battery issues. Just make sure that you have wireless network and wireless discovery turned off (as long as you don’t need to update maps or connect new BT devices). I use the Athletics watch face. It managed <5% per day (24h) without activities.

@Miroslava
The hr broadcast to a treadmill has Little to do with the Brand of the hr Belt. And more with connectivity Option of the treadmill. So for example my treadmill at Home can only Display via Ant+ . If you have a hr belt (no matter the Brand ) that has the possibilty to send Data via Ant+ the hr Data will transmitted to the treadmill and you can see it on the treadmill display. The hr broadcasting from the Suunto Watch is via Bluetooth. So the treadmill Must have the option to receive hr data via Bluetooth, if that is not the case you can‘t get the hr Data broadcasted.t3c / ambit / spartan sport /spartan titanium ultra / race

@enneo It works pretty well but it was disabled on my watch after FW upgrade. I had to enable it in the configuration of navigation.

Ringrazio tutti per le molte informazioni che ho trovato nel forum. Per una persona nuova nel mondo Suunto non è tutto semplice.

@Vitaly-B. After the firmware update, I was also offered an update of all offline maps on the watch, which I did, but unfortunately without any new map views. I also have 10 GB of free storage on the watch! I don’t understand why the new map views aren’t available on the Race 1; as I said, I had to update the maps without seeing any improvement, and I have more than enough free storage on the watch.

@Frank-Luderer here is the thread about the maps update:
https://forum.suunto.com/topic/14876/maps-update-rollout-march-2026-staged
It is independent from the firmware update an incorporates changes in the maps until now. You know, sometimes paths are closed and new roads built.
Plus more POI and other information was added to the maps.
