Software Update 2.44.52 (2025 Q3 - HOTFIX)

Dušan Ković

It seems to me that battery drain has been fixed. It looks like battery drains more like before.

Stefan Kersting

@Dušan-Ković fixed battery drain? was there a hot fix I did not catch?

Gunnar

@Stefan-Kersting I think he missed a ‘not’ in his text.

Dušan Ković

@Stefan-Kersting No, watch just started depleting battery more slowly than before the update. Not sure if something is fixed, I just noticed that it lasts longer.

Hey guys,
This morning for the second time in a week i woke up to my watch being completly off and according to the app It turned off right when i went to sleep.
So i sent a first “crash log”.

Then i went walking a bit, and the watch proudly annonced that i did 13000 steps (my objective), despite having walked roughly 2000 steps according to the app (and much more in line with what i really did), so i sent a second log.

Can somebody at Suunto check that out (and make a hotfix of the hotfix)

Krista.B

@Krista.B This issue seems to be fixed now! Thanks Suunto team for your continued efforts!

Stefan Kersting

@Krista.B there is no update, sp nothing is fixed

bonjour a tous,

j’ai noté une sitaution étrange sur le fonction reveil / alarme.
je me reveille les matins avec le mode alarme en mode vibration. A partir du moment ou j’appuie sur le bouton “rejetter”, l’alarme s’arrete et pas de problème.
Cela m’arrive que j’oublie la montre dans une autre pièce de la maison et que je n’entende pas la montre vibrer. La fonction de répétition étant mise par défaut, elle continue a vibrer mais je ne parviens plus a l’arreter avec le bouton “rejeter” et je suis bloqué dans la fonction. Je suis forcé de faire un redémarrage pour revenir au menu principal. Cela vous est il deja arrivé?

After performing a hard reset and setting everything up from scratch, the current battery drain is about 10% per day, compared to 3% per day before the latest update. In simple terms, that’s roughly 10 days of use instead of the previously achieved and advertised 30 days (with 24/7 OHR enabled, notifications turned off, and no sport use — I haven’t started any activities such as running).

To be honest, this feels similar to the early stages of the Fenix 8 MIP release, when excessive background CPU activity caused the MIP models to perform almost like AMOLED versions in terms of battery life. Garmin eventually resolved that issue, but it makes me wonder what Suunto changed in their latest firmware — what previously tested processes were modified, or what new background tasks were introduced — that could explain such a significant increase in power consumption.

@Belial This has been going on for quite some time, several updates back. And many users have remained stuck like this (about 10% per day) despite several supposed fixes.

@Belial just waiting for a hotfix…

The Lost Alien

Hello everyone. Could you please provide me with the link to version 2.43.12 for my Suunto Race? I want to downgrade to this version, as it is the only one I find more usable . The battery does not drain, external sensors no longer constantly disconnect, etc. Actually I’m on the last version 2.44.52

brechtvb

@Stefan-Kersting for which features/bugs?

Stefan Kersting

@brechtvb battery drain feature

@Stefan-Kersting
It should definitely include sleep tracking.
I woke up at 7 a.m. on Sunday.
I walked around the house. I manually paired the watch. I scrolled through the watch.
But at 12 a.m., I got a “good morning” message
I don’t understand the logic behind it being based on location or what?
It’s getting worse.

brechtvb

@Stefan-Kersting i’m waiting to pair some bike sensors, but Suunto watch doesn’t see the difference among them.

This sw. version might be buggy. Or my watch has a hardware issue that makes this version crash, which is less likely. When I had it in my Race v1, it restarted itself multiple times a day. I tried hard reset, didn’t help. Then I reverted to 2.44.46 through the debug menu and since it didn’t restart (for about 18 hours now). The error codes are also gone. Dear moderators of this form, can I help with sharing the error codes I’ve seen in the debug menu? Can you report them to Suunto with the hope that they can help to localize the issue?

@Stefan-Kersting I removed it from charger yesterday around noon, now it is on 96%, so 4% in about 21h.

Sleep tracking accuracy improved

It seems to me that after this hotfix the Awake time intervals are computed in a more “restrictive” way, that is, even if I wake several times during the night, now I just get few minutes of total Awake time, usually less than 10 min. For example, this night I slept 7:45, being only 5 min awake, which seems unrealistic to me .

A question, somebody knows how the Sleep quality is computed? I usually get values around 80%, rarely reaching 85%, even if the total sleep time is near the 8 hours target, with short awake time (especially after the hotfix) and good alternance of deep, light and rem sleep phases. Don’t understand what should be “better” to have higher Sleep quality values.
