Suunto Software update Q2 (2.56.18) - July 14th, 2026 - Vertical 2 and Race 2

[isazi]

@thailon the only information I can share is that Vertical, Race, and Race S are not included in this Q2 update as Suunto is still assessing the scope and timing of next update. Further communication from Suunto will come when a decision is taken.

As far as I’m concerned, I think Race S is already complete as it is and, to be honest, I really couldn’t think of anything else I could ask for. Bug fixes are, ofc, always welcome

Thanks for update. Maps looks amazing, tide app is welcomed too but i will probably get possibility to test it somewhere next year, please share some screenshots how it looks like. Thanks.

I see only this:

Since i live 800km from sea, should be displaying some info like data not available for your location instead of “updating”, is this bug?

Btw i already synced multiple times. No change.

Yes, after your explanation, I tried it now in the unedited sports mode that says “basic”. It appears like this. Is this a feature or a bug? Thanks for the information.

It should also be a feature in the customized modes accordng to Joaquin’s video

I’d like to have the HR broadcast “memory” that this update provides on my Race S, as well as improvements to maps; also, from last year, vertical oscillation and ground contact time were added to Race 2 and Vertical 2 and I’d appreciate those on Race S as well.

Looks like this:

Plus you can add tides as complications to the watch face

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos and for Vertical 1 ?
I know it can’t be the same update due to hardware limitations, but at least:

• Tides widget
• HR Recovery
  And please, restore solar harvesting that was reduced to minimum harvest when Vertical 2 was introduced.

I dont know why so many people complain there’s nothing new in this update. I find out street label as a huge step, one of hugest for last months (for Suunto at least, competition already have long time).

I just recommend to use dark mode. If someone use bright, labels are barely visible, even with nose on watch

@VoiGAS When someone gets ill we postpone the development. Thats why we release quarterly updates

I bet the development also stops during lunchtime! The scandal!!
