@Egika Thanks a lot for everything; I started this thread so we wouldn’t unnecessarily clutter the other one, now that the topic has been resolved.
-
@AdamK Well, let’s hope by resolved you mean auto alti/baro switch is part of the next update, and not simply a work around to put the baro trend indicator just in time mode.
Im so used to ABC watches having auto alti/baro switch which started with the original Core and then picked up by every Suunto watch after it and others, that with the Core 2 I keep forgetting to switch to alti or time mode each time I leave the house. I live in a hilly area and Im getting tired of the storm alarm going off driving to get groceries.

@mikekoski490 please keep us update if you get reply from the team,I really like this watch, alot of people who have the sunnto core 1 wants to buy the core 2 aswel,whuci i tel them its there choice but there would be complains an asking why ,just like am doing now,so hope you get some fixes.

@isazi Any idea when the new firmware will be released?
-Days
-Weeks
-Months
-Sometime in 2027?

@mikekoski490 no, I have no access to plans for the Core 2 releases. Just know that I am testing it on my testing device

So this morning was going through the north edge watches they have some good features was really impressed.
The north edge apache 46 it have what i was saying sunnto core 2 is missing. -
@alexx-Caesar
Yes… North Edge watches are great affordable watches, and for the price, they’re absolutely fantastic! Their ABC tactical watches have well-optimized features and are easy to use.
But that’s little more off topic. -
Yesterday I went to the beach,I can say the dive function on the core 2 is perfect,am not a diver but went as far as 7ft down on comin up back it really countdown to 0 ft its really work I did some shallow dive an it went to 0-4ft its really great.the compass aswel is working great,align it with my phone compass app,an it stable,but the dive function is amazing on the core 2.

Hi, the feature has arrived.
Thanks for that! I just have a question—how does it work now? On previous Core models, the barometer icon would appear when there was no change in altitude.
Today, I drove to the office; over the course of a 20-minute car ride, the altitude changed by at least 150m, yet the barometer icon is still displayed.
So, how does the automatic switching work now, and will this trigger the storm alarm?
Thanks a lot!

I’m still hoping that Suunto will apologize for the error in the technical specifications and correct it—or at least confirm that it isn’t a mistake…
For the Core 2, they list the maximum recommended dive depth as 2 meters!?!?!
Because adding a “dive” feature and then reducing the maximum dive depth from 10 meters (Core 1) to 2 meters (Core 2) is a slap in the face to users.
And to find this out, you have to look it up in the user manual. This should be clearly stated in the basic specifications. Water resistance of 100M is not a specific indication of the recommended actual depth, and this could lead to damage to the product if it is exposed to an actual depth of, say, 10 meters. The Core 1 (Alpha) handles this without any issues. And its users might assume that the Core 2 can withstand it as well. And if not, they’d be surprised if their warranty claim for the watch were denied. -

@AdamK Interesting.
This should at least include the following changes:- Fixed alarms being triggered immediately after changing the time.
- Fixed sunrise/sunset not updating after app sync followed by changing the region on the watch.
- Fixed app sync not updating after changing the region on the watch.
- Updated the compass algorithm; recalibration is now triggered after strong magnetic interference.
- Redesigned the altimeter/barometer feature; Auto mode now switches automatically in the background.
- Added a barometric-pressure indicator to watch faces and the Alti screen.
- Added manual compass calibration.

@Egika Awesome!
Nice update.
I really hope this doesnt sound like a complaint, as its not meant to, but just wondering how does the barometer/altimeter actually work now compared to the previous core? Previous Core manual had info about how the auto switch worked, and in the settings you could also choose auto, or lock baro or alti.
I see the barometer settings inside the core 2 didnt change, and nothing on suuntos website yet. Example this is still in the user manual online at Suunto.com:
Barometer profile + altitude moving
If the Barometer profile is on for an extended period of time as you climb in altitude or go down in altitude, the device assumes that you are standing still and interprets your changes in altitude as changes in sea level air pressure. It will therefore give you incorrect sea level air pressure readings.
Thanks to suunto for listening and updating though!

@AdamK The automatic profile on the Suunto Core switches between the altimeter and barometer modes based on your movement,so instead of you always manually putting in the refrence value where ever altitude you at,but with auto the sensors dectect you altitude what ever refrence value is in it is lock in there.with the dive function you select dive an its stays while you swim or snorkeling.
-
@Alpha the metric am using is feet and not meters,there is punch hole on the sunnto core 2,am assuming its for a depth sensor just curious how it calculate the pressure when the watch is in water an diving.but try it out an you see for your self,advice do not press buttons undewr saltwater i dont know if it can do that.

Edit: Cancel this question (issue). I updated my phones settings as our region recently updated or cancelled DST, and that helped after I re-synced. Cheers!
- Fixed sunrise/sunset not updating after app sync followed by changing the region on the watch.
Hi,
Question on this: After updating to this newest firmware, my sunrise/sunset is now exactly 1 hour off each time - showing a 1 hour earlier value for both. Ive checked on my Core 2 and have the correct country/region/city set.
Anyone else, or any suggestions?
