Suunto 2.50.26 – Q4 2025 Release Notes

Stefano M64

installed on my Race without any apparent issues, customized sport modes are still there!
Many thanks to the dev teams for this huge update!

Managed to pair two power meters (Rotor INPOWER, Favero Assioma), haven’t actualy tried them because I am ill right now but:

After pairing, the sensors appear to be selectable only on “Indoor cycling” sport mode, on “Cycling” mode none of them appears
Both power meters can also transmit cadence but only “Power” is listed on “SERVICES” menu

As I said, I haven’t actually tried to train, only paired.

Any feedback on this @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos?

mlakis

Just checked by starting an indoor cycling session that although cadence is not selectable from “SERVICES”, it’s transmitted so ok there (EDIT: at least for the Favero PM).

Also wanted to mention that crank length is not to be selected anywhere (though can be selected through Favero’s app and Rotor is a crank PM so not applicable there).

@mlakis I can use my stages with outdoor. Does it find it so it can be enabled ? It needs to get ze icon

mlakis

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos, right now both PMs are set-up with the watch and both of them appear when I select the “Indoor cycling” mode. Even when none of them are in reach or turned on I can see them in the “Exercise Options”/“Sensor data”. It says “Not connected” but when I go into the options they both appear. Also the “Calibrate power” is shown in the outer-most menu.

But for “Cycling” sport mode none of the above is true, no “Calibrate power” nor the sensors are shown on “Exercise Options”/“Sensor data”.

Will try to delete the “Cycling” sport mode and come back.

@Inge-Nallsson well, in my area, virtually all trails disappear when zoomed to 500m.

mlakis

Ok, re-creating the custom sport mode did the trick, maybe old one was using the “Basic” cycling mode and not the “Power” one (a thing that also just figured out it existed!)

Well, wellcome Q4!
Things aren’t looking bad. I’ll be installing it soon.

I have no more words about Suunto “updates” which are again and again are downgrades. Every update.

WHY YOU REMOVED STRUCTURED WORKOUTS FOR SWIMMING?!

Every update you only downgrade watches for swimmers! What swimmers did to you? Why are you doing this with us?!

I haven’t even tested watches in the water yet…pretty sure old bugs are not fixed and new came…

Thanks for update!

I have a weird issue though on SV1 Ti.

The screen brightness wouldn’t go off during time. The screen keeps to be illuminated and a watch doesn’t go to sleep mode. The soft reset didn’t help.

“Stand by” illumination is off.

I tried to set pass code to force a watch to go to sleep mode but it didn’t help. I did one more soft reset and I was asked to enter pass code but a watch kept illuminating a screen.

Something is off here.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos have you seem somewhat similar while testing?

in my area, virtually all trails disappear when zoomed to 500m

So it must be highly dependent on some underlying map data… My area does not have any official ‘trails’ only paths and all kinds of rural access-roads. For example, there is one obscure 10 km loop following dirt roads, timber harvesting roads and even paths made by animals. Width goes from less than 0.5 metres up to something like 3 metres (but not enough for two cars to meet). That full loop is visible at a watch 500 metres view. But another long and criss-cross path system in a wooden area used by dog walkers etc for eons, with widths ca 0.5-1.5 metres, those are only visible at 200 metres and below.

Someone (my guess: a runner) has probably connected different paths of the 10K loop and marked the resulting lengths as ‘important’ or ‘significant’ enough to show up at the Suunto 500 metres view.

Per-sport mode persistent configuration

Backlight setting doesn’t seem to be persisted though, or was it not the intention?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@Александр-Даниленко jee. Calm down brother.

Revise your words we are not your punchbag.

enriqueescoms

@Александр-Даниленко Do you mean that swimming workouts can’t be loaded in general? Or that the ones you already had aren’t showing up? In the latter case, is it resolved if you recreate them assigned to “any activity”?

I haven’t been using structured workouts for pool swimming lately, but it would be bad news to lose the ability to use them.

In addition to what you mentioned, I hope that, for pool swimming, the problems with some uncounted laps and the automatic interval timer not working have been fixed.

Александр Даниленко

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos ok

Could you comment, please, the problem pointed in my comment?

Does Suunto think, that swimmers don’t need structured workout like all other athletes?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@Александр-Даниленко please mind your language and attitude here. We are not doing some play game here. If you found a bug we can report and fix this.

Thanks

@enriqueescoms in my comment above I attached link to YouTube video.

If you go to Pool Swimming in the watch, then SuuntoPlus, you can find there only apps, but not structured workout (or they are called as Guides).

If you go to Weight training, then all those structured workout are visible.

All structured workouts I created in the SuuntoApp are are made for “Any” sport, because actually Suunto doesn’t have “Pool swimming” in the list for structured workouts. But before in older firmwares I could still use structured workouts in swimming, making them for “Any” sport. Not that field with structured workout is just removed from Pool Swimming in the watch.

Right now I’ve tried to create a new structured workout in the app. It appeared in “Weight training” (which mean it is definitely on the watch), but not in “Pool swimming”.

Now it makes watches even more useless in swimming. We (swimmers) have 30-100 intervals during the training - I believe it is more then most of other athletes. We definitely need this functionality, which was before, but now it is gone.

@Александр-Даниленко Hello.
This is already known at Suunto.

atoponce

@smutnak Bummer. I was hoping this would be fixed.

Александр Даниленко

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I report you bugs every update here in the forum.

I dont see any changes, only downgrades.

About 1-1.5 year ago I even compiled big Word file regarding bugs in the swimming and sent it directly to Suunto via email. No improvements from that time, except a little bit improved stroke detection. In other aspects watches got only downgrades in swimming which I constantly write you here in the forum every update and sometimes directly to support. But Suunto seems just ignore all of that. This is really disappointing.
