        @vio112 next week this firmware will be released for suunto 5, so now when i have backup plan 🙂 i will test it myself without worrying. If it reduce battery life i will downgrade .

        P.S. touch screen lock is reason i bought Suunto 5 and not Suunto 9 because it would drive me nuts.

          the last 4 digits are the same for everyone per watchmodel/FW version released in production.
          if you have 2.12.30 on your S5 watch, you should/must have FW Monza 2.12.30.1410-J.

            @mff73 yes but i don’t have 2.12.30 but 2.14.16 and Monza-fw_2.14.16.1410-J.zip doesn’t exists. So number 1410 should be replaced for some another i think.

                  Update was released, so i can test battery life. Now backlight is enabled on every button press. Really curious how it will drain battery.

                    I really really dislike this “feature”. The toggle function was much better. So please update me, if the downgrade worked @vio112
                    Thanks!

                    But why does the “backlight on / off” function is still in the quick menu? It has then no function

                      @theguyfromthesummit it has a function. It runs the backlight on , not the standby light on.

                        In my case not, or I do sth wrong.

                        Backlight: low
                        Standby: off
                        Raise the wake: off
                        Do not disturb: off

                        quick menu backlight: on/ off does not change anything
                        Light is only on, when I push a button (so like standby was before the update) and the old tab to toggle on/ off does not work

                        Backlight: low
                        Standby: on
                        Raise the wake: off
                        Do not disturbe: off

                        quick menu backlight: on/ off does not change anything
                        No matter what I do, the light is always on.

                          I just did the “downgrade”. It worked fine but then it was as if the watch is new. I had to re-enter my personal data and re-create my custom exercises. Not a big deal.

                          What does bother me is that Suntolink and the app keep telling me that there is a new version to install.

                            @pikeviewer thanks for the info, I might downgrade mine on the weekend.
                            Unfortunately “snap to route” is a nice function
