Suunto 2.50.26 – Q4 2025 Release Notes
-
Great stuff! Mega update


. -
Why isnt there Vertical 1 included? Will the new OHR InHouse Algorithm available for Vertical 1 too? Its excluded here

-
One very important thing is concerning – the lack of improvement/restoration of visibility of paths and trails from the 500m view.
Should such a change be implemented in the watch update or the maps themselves?
-
First of all, thank you for the update, the new features, and the bug fixes. However, there is still an ongoing issue that has persisted for over 10 months: interval training is not exporting correctly to third-party apps (Strava, TrainingPeaks, Runna, etc.). Specifically, interval laps are not handled correctly in the .fit file export, as described here: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/12624/interval-laps-are-not-exported-to-third-parties-and-.fit-file-correctly-if-lap-button-is-presed-breaks-runna-strava/64

this is changed as well.
Export to strava will correctly handle manual in parallel to auto laps.
You might just need to re-create the guide in SA. -
Note, that for me on Suunto Race, the installation behaved like a hard reset, i.e., watch needs to be repaired to the app, all zones are reset, sleep tracking is disabled, all paired sensors are removed and HRV range needs to be relearned.
-
@Egika I tried creating a new workout in TrainingPeaks (TP) that is synced to my Suunto watch. During the set intervals, I tried shortening several of them by pressing the manual LAP button. In TP, I could then only see those manual LAPs, while the intervals that ended automatically were not recorded
So instead of the 6 planned intervals, I only saw 4 laps in the recorded data v TP
-
Great ! But nothing about VO2max and music on the watch 🥺.
-
I have run the update for Race S and it worked without any issue.
To be sure I have run a (manual) restart after it.Thank you Suunto, it seem to be a big update with a lot of features.
-
@Dieter1960 Don’t you have VO2max?
-
@Dieter1960 music on the watch is not anything close to promised.
-
@Mads-Hintz-Madsen oh noooooooo again??? Fuck im sorry. Now it would be great (much of us wishing this) reload all settings from the App.
-
Nice !!

-
@Mads-Hintz-Madsen Didn’t have this on the Vertical 2. What watch do you have?

You might just need to re-create the guide in SA.Here you can see how it is synced to TP and Strava. Inside Suunto app is all correctly.
The workout was structured as follows:
1 min – Warmup
1 min – Hard
1 min – Easy (manually shortened after 30s using the LAP button)
1 min – Hard
1 min – Easy (manually shortened after 10s using the LAP button)
1 min – Cool down

Great to see such a huge list of improvements. If the new OHR algorithm is any good than my biggest gripe with the Race S will be a thing of the past…

How are the new automatic transitions in Triathlon and SwimRun supposed to work? And why aren’t those for Duathlon or Aquathlon?
The changes for Interval training: Does it only affect intervals created by Suunto App or any of the Guides, including those from partners?
-
On my 9PP it installed smooth and this time for the first time the individual settings like autolap or autostopp have not been reseted - yeah!!!

Many thanks for the Duatlon Mode. I always wanted to setup a local MTB- Duatlon race with that this opens some posibilities to create a perfect route for it.
Hope the sleep issues with the Sensor failures have been fixed too. I guess not all bug fixes have been mentioned.
-
@maszop Si mais j’aimerai décider comme sous Garmin quand la montre estime ou non le VO2max. Par exemple ne pas estimer le VO2max en trail.

As mentioned, it is the Race.
I did have corrupted ghost sensors prior to this new update. Earlier, these could only be removed by a hard reset.
I wonder if the new firmware during installation detects ghost sensors and then forces a hard reset?! Just speculation! Of course, it is annoying with a hard reset but not the end of the world

-
Great update, thanks! Just one question. I tried the integrated interval creation with the default Running (Basic) profile and just sitting at the desk and doing nothing it measures distance and speed, without moving and having a GPS fix. Is this expected behaviour? I setup 4 intervals with 400m / 250m recovery as a test and after some 20+ seconds I see that there is distance accumulation and speed displayed on the watch. Tried 3 times and same behaviour. Afterward tested to start a Trail running activity just to see what happens and distance and speed == 0.
