Updates for V1

@BrunoH Full support of the HRM2 is something I would not call “Bells and Wistles”. My wife (long discontinued) Forerunner 245 support Running dynamics from Garmin HRM. My (still sold by Suunto) V1 doesn’t support running dynamics from Suunto HRM.

HRM2 has been released months after V1. Nobody at that time in Suunto has ever claimed that the watch will support all new hardware released in the next 5 years. Same for Garmin and any vendor. You can just hope. I do and I am pretty confident that we will get that update (true, no clue).

@Stefano-M64 smartphones become vulnerable without security updates.
Sport watches just do what they do. Like the car mentioned above.

Same for watches. Any connected device might have security vulnerabilities at some point. All future (connected) watches will fall in the scope of the European Cyber Resilience Act - CRA (in December 2027).

Hi everybody,

Just a new message to say if you encounter problems with elevation.
Each outing I’ve done shows me an elevation gain that’s far too high.

Today, I compared my run and the run of my partner with her race S.
Hers: 49m
Mine: 209m

I post it here because no update are going on from Suunto.
Thanks for your answer

@Marien-Perrot
Your issue has no link with updates.
Check here Q6 https://forum.suunto.com/topic/9960/more-faq?_=1790521715497
And then trillons of posts with the same topic in this forum.

Hi everybody,

Do you know why the V1 don’t receive the last updates ?
Is this product out for new features developped and deployed for the V2 ?

Thanks
Have a nice day

Are there some news about the next V1 uodate or is it only the new watches which are now updated ?

@Antoine as far as I know the Vertical 1 is not yet scheduled for release, while (as far as I know) Race, Race S, Race 2, Race 3S, and Vertical 2 will receive an update before the end of the year.

And this is how some great ideas come to an end…

@thanasis which great idea to which end?

@isazi it seems I was correct when I previously commented that the V1 was neglected, relative to other watches. There had been talk of an update since the beginning of the year, but still nothing has materialized. I’d perhaps be more satisfied if they had told us “no more updates” other than the many months of anticipation. It’s fine, life goes on, what’s a few more months?

@Marien-Perrot Barometer calibration? I live in a high-rise building, about 50-70m from the ground. The difference before calibration is 10m + - I have a difference .

@LitchiMonster I get the impression that Suunto itself doesn’t really know what to do with the Vertical 1 anymore. Perhaps discontinuing software support would be the easiest and cheapest option. But let’s not forget that this is the last Suunto watch generation with a MIP display, and many users still value that technology.

@Milan-Šádek … and they still sell it

isazi

@LitchiMonster I believe this has been discussed ad nauseam in the past. Vertical 1 has limited hardware and basically needs ad-hoc development at this point, and cannot run the same firmware as the other watches. As far as I know (at least) one update will come, but not in Q4 2026 (again AFAIK). I would expect mostly bug fixes and minor features, but we’ll see. So far I have not tested the next firmware for V1.

Egika

@mabe2k yes of course it is sold It is a mature work horse with the MIP display some users prefer.
There is no reason to not sell this model. It is my choice for those muti day adventures without the opportunity to charge.

Believe it or not: this watch is delivering every day even without the latest changes, like street names.

@Egika Exaclty the same : my SV1 is still my beast for long races, multi day adventures, cycling…perfect match with my SRs3

Egika

@Tieutieu these two are also my favorite combination

VoiGAS

@Egika Yes, but for currently sold models it could be expected to be compatible with accessories - like Bluetooth Bike Sensors and the HRB2…
Shouldn’t be too much for a premium model

I’d appreciate changing the map datafield from current remaining total distace to remaining distance to next turn which is far more useful. For a period of time, it was already there, so the hardware can definitely handle it.
For cycling navigation, which goes well with MiP display, it is a very handy information so you know if you can ride fast or rather slow down because a turn is coming.
Apart from that, I’m happy with it as it is and it is my only watch and bike computer at the same time.

I understand. For some time this change was also applied to the race s. I asked suunto support why they changed it and apparently somebody asked for it and without thinking the developers implemented id. I also asked why they thought distance to end is better than distance to next turn when you are navigating, but didn’t get any answer on that.

My race s at least got one more firmware update that made the find configurable. Don’t ask how because it’s done in the most user unfriendly way possible.

@elbee I wish I had a contact on a developer that would implement my wishes without thinking
