If you happen to find a bug, please open a detailed post in the correct watch section of the forum, so it is easier to keep track to (and report).

@resilient-runner here you go: https://firmware.geo.movescount.com/production/Ibiza-fw_2.19.42.453-F.zip

[JorgeFD]

@egika thank you!

[DMytro]

@theo-lakerveld complex intervals are rumoured to come in march, so that’s one thing out of the way.

[DMytro]

Great update suunto! And a lot of potential as well.

[DMytro]

One thing I’m curious about: it seems wings for life and redbul xalps suunto plus have expired, how come? I think wings for life was a fun one.

[isazi]

@dmytro there was a contract in place between the organizers and Suunto that expired. Maybe will come back in the future (wings for life), while the x-alps app has been unbranded and renamed as “variometer”.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

I wonder - how will the new ascent / descent algo work on S5? Will it show absurdities due to poor accuracy of GPS based altitude, or is it still being filtered?

[XFatMan]

Very much appreciated. Thank you.

[isazi]

@łukasz-szmigiel is it still being filtered, and has been tested for a while. Do not expect miracles from a non baro devices, but ascent/descent is a bit better.

[halajos]

Suuntolink tells me I need to sync to SA before the update. I synced with SA multiple times, also reset the watch, but still the same. Should I worry about update failure and watch reset because of that?

[dulko79]

Downloaded and installed update faster than drinking a morning coffee. Well done.

[isazi]

@halajos I believe that is a standard message to tell you that if you have activities not synced they’ll be lost.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@isazi sure, understandable. It’s cool that Suunto managed to improve it. Do you know if this was fixed in this release?

[isazi]

@łukasz-szmigiel I do not think so, but will be fixed if it wasn’t.

[Efejota]

Looks really promising for the future. And I can get rid of those S+ that I never use XD

[markytarky]

@isazi just to be sure, I still need to manually select the S+ every time I go for run? Right?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@markytarky still yes

[v.sacre]

@markytarky Yes I am afraid.

As I understand, you can only shorten the list of S+ app in the watch but it doesn’t change anything else.

I thought we would have been able to assign S+ app automatically for each sport mode but maybe it is not yet the case.

Anyway, thanks for the update.
