Suunto Software update Q1 (2.53.42)

Speed Man

Sometimes when I use three SuuntoPlus apps at the same time, my watch shuts down.

Hello, using a Suunto Race S. Since the update, I can’t move the map with my finger anymore, it stays locked and follows the route I have selected.

Also the new tooth with up to five data points can’t be touched to cycle through the data points.

I have no touch screen issues, other screens works, just not the map view during a sport mode recording.

Anyone having the same issues? Tried soft restart already.

Can please someone explain this phrase:

– We can share heart rate data with a heart rate monitor connected to the watch,
thereby improving connectivity with the heart rate monitor

I copied and translated it from Spanish to English from the presentation about the new software.

Since the update I was wondering if it is possible to broadcast HR, which is received from a belt (like Suunto HR belt), from the watch to another device.

As the Suunto belt can only be used with one target device.

Egika

@Stoke80 yes, you can broadcast the HR, which the watch receives from a belt.
I have used this sometimes during testing to use the HR belt data in two watches (belt connected to Vertical 2, broadcasting to Suunto Run).

@Egika

Thank you. That is very good news in general.

But for me it means it would not have been necessary to buy a Polar H10 to be able to have the HR on my watch and my Hammerhead :-(.

At least, the quality of the H10 is very good…

Vertical 2. Custom alarm.
There’s probably an issue with the alarm after the update. If the alarm is set while automatic DND (Do Not Disturb) is active, it doesn’t go off. Furthermore, the morning report displays an outdated/wrong alarm time – either a later time from before the change (during DND) or an alarm time from another day, e.g., Wednesday. Those times are identical – the Wednesday alarm time matches the pre-edited alarm time from other days.

I’ll monitor this for a few more days – I also suspect other data in the morning report is outdated. I’ll have to take photos though, because precise memory fails in the early morning. Anyone else have this problem?

Egika

@maszop I have tried this exact setup: alarm during auto-DND.
It has worked well and as expected for me.
Maybe try a reboot? Sorry, no other ideas…

What are your settings in the exercise options for “Touch”?
It needs to be set to “on” or “Map only” to work for this.

@Egika Here’s what happened: I set the alarm for 7:15 every day initially (Custom alarm: Mo, Tu, Wed, etc.). Then I changed all days except Wed and Sun to 6:15 am (a time during DND). Since then, every morning report shows 7:15. The alarm never goes off – not at 6:15, not at 7:15 – and I also think other data in the report is wrong.

I’ll try reboot/soft reset.

rawmtb

@Egika do I set this on the watch directly? Could you point me to these settings?

Egika

@rawmtb
Before starting an activity:
Select sport mode -> In the pre-start screen scoll to the bottom and select Exercise options -> Scroll down and select “Touch”

During the activity:
Press and hold the lower button -> scroll down and select “Touch”

@rawmtb Load an activity (you don’t have to start it) & go into exercise options, you’ll find ‘Touch’ in there mate.

Once set it’s remembered going forward.

@Egika thanks a lot! This seems like a new option for the Suunto Race S. Problem is now solved and I can navigate the map with touch.

I honestly wonder why “Map only” isn’t the default after the update, as it is the same as before, I seem to remember. Or at least it is the most sensible option.
