Seems like some new good things! 94% here of downloading, lets see!

Nice.
The UI is now really smooth, like it.
Ruler is good addition for the map.
Glad to see more watch faces but I’ll stick with SV default one.
Large list of improvements and bug fixes, thanks.

[Todd Danielczyk]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos the ruler to the map was a pleasant surprise and one that is very useful. I can already see how ill use it in the field.

UI is noticeably faster during scrolling.

Thank you to you and the Suunto team for making a great product even better! (emoji viewed )

Not sure if this was already reported (can’t find with search) but I’ve noticed it again yesterday (and still there after the update) a bug with multiple apps enabled for an activity.

The switch is always “off” even if the App is selected
Could it be the aero decoupling one or just the first one in the list ? The other seems to work as expected

EDIT: Just tested removing aero dec. and found It’s the first of the list

As I´ve said in other post:

At first glance, I’m a little disappointed, to be honest. And I don’t think I’m going to be the only one. I was expecting a bigger leap with some more remarkable functionality. But, obviously, it’s a problem of “my expectations”.

I was looking forward, beyond fixing the most known bugs, to improvements in the aspects related to structured workouts (readability, range alarms, countdown, number of repetitions, etc). Or also something along the lines of “Climb Pro”. But I’ll just have to put up with it. Maybe, as another user has told me, the next bigger leap in functionality will come with the next Suunto watch…who knows.

And a little thing that touches my heart is that it looks like I’m going to have to wait for the “recovery time” data on my 9PP, as it appeared before the 2.30.32.

On the plus side, it is always welcome that efforts have been made to fix problems and bugs and to improve the fluidity and stability of the UI.

Anyway, when I get home I’ll install the new update and test it to have a better judgement.

Release Notes:

• Three new watch faces

tested, and i will stay on old ones
the analog one is nice, but i would still need/want to have two customizable fields, with all possibilities (almost) on each of the two fields. For example, no way to have battery+date.

• “Map ruler” tool to measure the distance in a straight line to any location on the map (VERTICAL and RACE)

briefly tested, why not. Not sure i will use it that much.

• Reminder to resume/end activity during pause at abnormal speed

Briefly tested : really nice and working as expected

Other improvements in the release:

• Support for emojis in notifications PHASE 1 (with some limitations still)

really funny to see something else than a square drawing
font is the same as in the notification message, it is quite small to really catch the exact emoji meaning. But, i don’t care that much

Hello,

looking forward to test this new update !
Do you know if it has fixed this major bug regarding the breadcrumb function ??

Thank you very much !

[isazi]

@skitouring unfortunately I do not believe that is included.

[pilleus]

Q1 2024 means that there are 3 other updates in 2024? 🧐

[sartoric]

@pilleus
It means that this is Q1 of 2024 for sure

[altcmd]

Also means see you in Q2 - likely end of June

[Tieutieu]

Update installed this morning ; seemed faster than previous ones.
Except bugs corrections and improvements, not sure I will use new features.

Feedback :

• UI much faster and smoother (even if it was not a problem for me)
• Sync with app is also much faster (I’m using beta SA, it was already faster with latest release before today’s fw update)

[larrybbaker]

Installed with no issues. First activity will be later today. So far “lag” - what little there was - seems even better. New watch faces are fine but will probably stick with the one I have been using.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

New, fresh firmware, cool!

While new watch faces are always welcome, I’m still waiting for watch face data fields customisation. Maybe it’ll come someday

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

Suunto Vertical Ti Solar here. The UI is noticeably smoother now!

Regarding the “Improvements in the display of laps in the activity summary”: it what looks like a regression, I cannot view laps or intervals from the watch anymore:

1. Widgets => Journal / Log Book
2. Select any activity, including previous ones where the laps/intervals were visible
3. Scroll through the information displayed
4. Since the firmware upgrade I can no longer see:

• Intervals or Laps (you used to be able to scroll right on that row to view a table)
• Time spent in Heart rate / pace / power zones

Where can I report this regression?

[sartoric]

@mickywickyftw
that’s not a regression, but it’s what happen to activities after fw upgrades.

in the watch only summaries are kept, you should have all the info in the app, if you sync as suggested, before the upgrade

[isazi]

This post is deleted!

[Zdeněk Hruška]

@mickywickyftw Hi, I don’t think there is any regression. I think that it’s just a logbook is somehow cleaned after the update. You should try a new workout and see if the info is there. Also you should have all the info uploaded into the app if I am not mistaken so you shouldn’t lose any data.
