Software update 2.18.18 Sept 28 2021
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I don’t know what is is expected, but with the new firmware the battery consumption is much greater comparing to the previous firmware. I also have everything off on the watch, no sleep tracking, no daily HR, no notifications…
-
@nseslija it has been confirmed by Suunto, and will be fixed in next update.
-
@isazi I know, tnx… I downgrade the watch to 2.16.26 till then…

@isazi Hi,
Is this valid for S9 Peak? Although the batery calibration solved the sleep tracking high drainage, i found that S9 Peak is draining about 6% - 7% each hour run with gps (gps only or gps+beidou). Before the update was draining about 3%-4%/hour. Actually the GPS in performance mode shows 30h when starting activity with full battery, but it won’t last more than 17h with the actual drainage.Cheers

@pedromslopess S9/S9B/S9P.

Wait, sorry, you are talking about battery consumption during activity here. I am confirming the faster battery drain in daily mode, not during activity. I have not really noticed higher consumption during activity.
-
@isazi thanks. I’ll wait for the update then, to see if it gets better. Just for reference, what ia your usual drain during activity with gps+beidou and HR.?
Thanks. -
@pedromslopess without S+? I get an estimated battery life of more than 1 day (estimated after activity, not before, so based on real consumption).
-
@isazi when can we expect the new firmware?
-
@clemens-renzl When it’s released.
Up until now Suunto has never given a release date for firmware updates
-
@surfboomerang which is fine, since promised dates set you under unnecessary pressure and the risk is high that you make mistakes…
I know that by own experience by the way
-
@freeheeler True.
I prefer fewer, but stable updates over more frequent and buggy.More frequent and stable however…
-
Do not want to give false hopes because Suunto eventually decides when and if to release software, but in retrospect they have been pretty consistent on the WHEN part.
-
@isazi So, December is a good month then?
-
@freeheeler depends. Sometimes excessive pressure helps accomplish tasks faster.
-
Is this a bug? Resources shot up despite me not resting and then even doing a training.
I wore an hr belt during the training, might it be that the algorithm could thus acquire better hr readings to correct resources? -
@dmytro have the same issue with some activity
-
@frederick-rochette to be faire Suunto need to sort out few things about resources. One of them is the one hour charge and then it default back to 50% which makes that whole thing inaccurate. I tend to charge mine in increments so it doesn’t shoot back up to 50%

I recently faced a situation like this:
I snooze in the morning after the alarm goes off. When the 2nd alarm goes off, even though I press all the buttons, the alarm goes off, but the screen does not light up.
It returns to normal after a while.
arm wake is also on.
in the morning it gets hard to see the screen in the dark -
