Unable to connect / sync vertical with suunto app since last update

@ortles we wont tell what?
Well, they have told us nothing:
I reported the problem long ago in the support chat but only got non-sense answers. They were not interested to get logs or detailed info, but were very keen to end the chat. At one time though they asked me to try another phone, I said I would get back in 5 minutes but then they had closed the chat.
I have mailed Suunto support and they told me to send my watch for repair. I informed them of this thread and that it was not likely something wrong with my watch but rather the FW, so I asked it they still recommended sending my watch for repair. Despite 5 reminders, I have not got any reply…
I have posted several comments about this problem on Suunto’s Facebook page and asked for plans to fix it - never any reply.
I have not seen any other official info from Suunto that they acknowledge the problem and when I can expect a functioning watch.
All this is most disappointing. -
I would add that even if suunto did the maximum to prevent any bug (which I hardly doubt knowing suunto’s reputation) they are still responsible for what’s happening and should
- acknowledge publicly that they’re is something wrong
- describe what steps they have been through to correct it
- an estimate schedule of the bug’s fix
- idealy, once (and if…) the bug is fixed, somme kind of commercial gesture towards people who had the the sync problem.
I know that this bug is starting to get talked about by top notch athletes… I’d be for suunto’s best interest to have a proper strategy in terms of communication about the bug.
-
@Mats-Djupsjöbacka I will only add that the same evasive answers regarding the “temporary” removal of contour lines and many other problems. This is the standard in Suunto now.
-
Exactly that would be the appropriate policy from company’s side if an error like that occurs. Nothing else. Thanks for describing so precisely!
Sometimes it seems to me that the IT experts forget how it is to be on the customer’s side.
It‘s all very interesting to hear and I definitely have high respect towards the professional experience of everyone.
But perspectives shift if you take the customer’s side and a company’s reputation into account as well.

I think the problem is mainly with iOS or am I wrong?
I do not have any problems with Android 15 beta 1.1 in a Pixel 6a, haven’t had any issues before neither.
-
@cosme-costa the difficulties with syncing activities also happens with Android.
I’m using Pixel 8 and am facing the activity sync issue both with previous fw and the just released fw.
-
@cosme-costa i have samsung s24 with latest android 14, so this affect both iOS and android.
And like I said, this is due the watch fw/hw/sw combination issue. -
@cosme-costa
Similar to a few others, I have both Android and iOS devices available and the issue is the same with both. It’s the watch. Race in my case. -
-
The problem seems to affect iOS and Android, race and vertical

Hi all, I have the same problem Suunto Race / Pixel 6a. I thinking about returning my watch back to the shop Do you have any information from Suunto? Will it be fixed?
-
Hi. Suunto Vertical + Galaxy Z Fold 5 here and similar issues. I noticed sometime back that the activities would not sync or everything would sync very slowly, often freezing completely and then the activities would show up eventually at later date on the app.
Now I’m struggling with one 1h 50min activity that just will not sync after six days. I have reset watch and app dozen times.

Hi everyone,
From 26th of March the watch is not working anymore. I bought it end of february 450€.
@Brad_Olwin what is your advice ?
I’m so disappointed !!!

Sorry but this isn’t helpful at all…
-
@ortles
I’m replying to @denis_barberot that didn’t explained that much.
So if the watch it’s not working anymore that’s what it should be done.If the problem is the same as this thread (it cannot be taken for granted) there is a whole thread about it
-
@denis_barberot
is the watch connected and it doesn’t sync or does SA not recognise the watch anymore? -
OK, I understand!
To me it’s obvious that @denis_barberot addresses the sync issue.
And I think it’s OK to express some kind of disappointment. I think we are all a little disappointed here as there’s no clear perspective. We have no more information than suunto is working on that. That’s not much for a problem like that. The rest is unclear.
Buying a 500-750 Euro watch and after a few weeks it’s inoperable for one month + and it’s unclear when this is about to end. IMHO that’s not OK.
-
@sartoric this is the same issue as everyone in this thread.
I was one of the first to mention it 1 month ago.
So that’s why i 'm coming back here.
I’m a suunto Fan but still in the future ??
not sure.
This issue is a total mess. I’m sorry but there is a correlation between the new patch delivered end of march and the issue.
So can we have here SUUNTO Onboarded really and explain us what they are doing on that issue ?
Thanks in advance

What is very strange is that during the uploading of the new firmware TO the watch the BT icon was always on, continuously, without any interruption, for tens of minutes, and the whole operation proceeded seamlessly, while during the sync the BT connection drops after few seconds … why?
it seems that the problem is in the downloading the data FROM the watch, maybe the “Suunto app sync speed improved” in 2.33.12, messed things up?
-
Syncing sometimes work in 30 seconds, sometimes after 1 or 2 hours trying…
Another issue now…during a sports activity i put media controls off, why do i receive text messages when my phone bluetooth is on for listening music?
