@GiPFELKiND wouldn’t that result in a hard reset?
-
Why the hell downgrading ??!!…
-
@Tieutieu I don’t understand it either. The new firmware is far better than the old one but it seems there is one or two users here that prefer having the old watchfaces rather than the better accuracy, better battery duration, better TBT, better step counter, the fantastic new climb tools,…
There’s people for everything. Personally, I bought this watch for sport, nothing more. I prefer an old style watchface (time and date). Battery saver and with everything I need to look at when just wearing the watch. I find the rest basically noise. But that’s a personal opinion. -
@dreamer_ @Tieutieu @Łukasz-Szmigiel only so far --> someone asked here in this Forum how to downgrade
Here is the answer. I for myself would never downgrade 
love the new climbing guide option and for me the Display and key locking function is great 
️ but it seems that some people dont Like the complication Option… And here was a question how to downgrade -
@dreamer_ excellent synopsis
️ -
@dreamer_ Battery drain or very inaccurate battery meter is a way more important reason to downgrade! I don’t really care about the new vs old watch faces/complications, but I wouldn’t call losing 50% of battery in 4 days with the watch sitting idle in a drawer “far better”

@Fwinns my battery seems fine. How many users are experiencing that problem? Perhaps a soft reset will fix that issue or there’s something with that specific unit.
-
@Fwinns you are right!!!
-
@dreamer_ @Fwinns 🥴mine is fine, mine is fine too. But if you read some Posts about battery drain after the update i have to fully agree that everyday you can read 1new Post here or a comment about the battery drain… That seems like a really Problem after the update.and take a closer look who says mine battery is fine… You will know what i mean
-
I was concerned also by slightly higher battery drain, but not afraid : like everyone says on replies about that issue, after a full new circle the battery recalibrates.

@Tieutieu would be the best thing

@Tieutieu Mine went down to 23% indicated, I charged it back up to full, and still got a 10% loss the next day. I didn’t want to wait until the watch turned off by itself before recharging to do a “full loop”, it would probably have happened during a training session or a race.
And yes I did do a soft reset before charging it back up.
Downgrading and awaiting a more official reply/update/fix from Suunto is the sensible thing to do. -
@dreamer_ I think the battery is fine, it seems to be software related. Either there is a real battery drain (GPS always on, things like that), or the battery meter is way off/buggy. But lots of things are linked to the battery level, like the anoying “charge your watch” when it goes below 25%, or the automatic mode change when it goes below 10% and it thinks you won’t be able to finish a session, things like that

@GiPFELKiND I did this once, here is just a small warning - If anyone does this, make sure to do a factory reset after the FW downgrade. My watch almost bricked itself few days after doing this.

@GiPFELKiND Thanks for the instructions. It helped me get the heart rate measurement working again on the 9PP. And I don’t miss any of the latest updates
