Software update 2.18.18 Sept 28 2021

picture this:
family is sitting at the table, eating dinner after a long day of work and school…
son: daddy, I want a Fitbit again!
me: why, what’s wrong with your Suunto 3?!
son: it’s nice, but every time I tilt my wrist the watch goes anywhere in the menu and I have to set it back or stop automatic started activities etc…
…seems to be a family issue -
-
@freeheeler you’re not considering Fitbit too, are you? XD
-
@dmytro
the only watch I realistically consider is S9P once my S9B dies… unless Suunto surprises us with an S9P XL by then… I hope they have another 2-3 years time until this happens
-
@nseslija Can you briefly describe the downgrade procedure? Is it really only about drag&drop the firmware zip on the SuuntoLink app while the watch is connected?
-
@skydancer yes, only that. And after that ,unfortunately, resetup the device from the scratch…
-
@nseslija And how is the battery drain now, back to normal?
-
@pedromslopess jak zrobic kalibracje baterii.coto takiego.

@bastek1709 Hi,
I assume your answer was:
"how to calibrate the battery? " according to google translation.I just let the watch completely discharge until it turns off. Afterwards, charge it overnight.
-
@skydancer yes, as it was before update…
-
@nseslija @skydancer If battery drain is not a killer for you, according to some testers comments, in the next FW update this issue should be fixed and the next FW update should be before the end of the year, if Suunto keeps its usual timing for updates.
-
@cosme-costa yes I know, but the battery drain is to big for me to wait till the next update…
-
@nseslija Downgraded yesterday to 2.16 without any problems, battery drain back to good, old times.
-
I noticed on may S5 that last few months (probably from release of firmware with autobacklight on every action and button) that battery life is much worse too so i think it is not only S9B problem.
-
@skydancer Did you have to set the sport modes again?
-
@pavlas yes…everything from the scratch!
-
it’s so annoying - suunto please fix the battery drain issue asap
-
@nseslija
Well, re-creating of all custom Sport modes is pretty frustrating. I experienced that few times and each time it was pain and frustration.
I created a Feature request in Polls for Backup/Restore option in SA.
Any of you are invited to vote for this option, if you find it usefull.https://forum.suunto.com/topic/7317/sport-modes-backup-restore-sa
