Several reports in the Software Update 2.43.8/.12 (2025 Q2) thread. https://forum.suunto.com/topic/13169/software-update-2.43.8-.12-2025-q2/97 @benille said in Vertical - powermeter - power reading resets: how can I do a downgrade? I don’t have Vertical but on Race(S) you go to Settings>General>About Scroll all the way down Hold lower button to enter Debug menu then >Select OTA pkg and choose which version to install

Don’t know when this first appeared but I had this for quite a while and now I am on 5.3.7. It’s a nice feature to have, but there are only a classic map and what looks like a winter map layers. I wish they would add a satellite imagery layer as well, as it is an option to view the workout in the app already anyway.

@Nikolai-Simonov perfect! Thank you!

I’ve done some more tests recently. It’s possible to add a completely newly designed or imported to SuuntoApp route to the watch during an activity. It doesn’t have to be saved in SuuntoApp beforehand. There are some problems with synchronization during an activity, but it works eventually. However, there’s a rather annoying bug when changing the route during an activity. During an ascent or descent, you can’t change it on the fly - there’s some conflict with Climb Guidance (black screen with X symbol on the watch). To get around this, you have to completely disable the current route (Breadcrumb option) and only then load a new route. I hope this gets fixed because I usually don’t have time to mess around in the field with such non-intuitive route changes.

@elbee I think all those options you can have in the Athletics option. I have seconds (always on which is nice) next alarm, date, altitude temperature and sunset/sunrise. I do find it frustrating sometimes that all options can’t be shown in all complications but the Athletic face is ideal for me. I find the permanently on seconds have particularly handy. I do wish the time numbers were solid. I think they would be easier to read with older eyes…

Got it and a tank sensor for a great price on eBay, and I think it looks fantastic. Ever since I started diving, I wanted a watch with a tank sensor, so it was a happy overlap! It’s in my rotation: given the firmware updates of the Vertical and Race, I don’t use it very often, but if I dived/free-dived more, I’d use it more.

@isazi Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, two things I would have liked to see in the update are not included. an option for “raise to wake up” - display only, not fully awake! global switch for sounds and vibrations off

@Alastair-Padgett said in Newbie ,happy to get any kind of help, advice or guidance : I hope you’re enjoying your new watch. Not sure what you mean with this statement: So with the intro in mind let me ask a few questions ,seemingly everyone is having issues with compatibility with MAC OSX ,and the two current software patches to allow updates and laptop based training work ? Can you explain how did you came to the conclusion that everyone has issues with MacOS compability? You should pair the watch with the either app on iOS or Android. I am also not aware of any laptop based training. I would also advise to read through the manual as a first step: https://ns.suunto.com/Manuals/Suunto_Vertical/Userguides//Suunto_Vertical_UserGuide_EN.pdf

@marcomonari Did you remove HR zone duration in SuuntoPlus option in the watch before launching the activity ? This seems to solve synch issue on my side (iOS and watch firmware 2.43.12). But the older activities done with HR zone SuuntoPlus selected are still blocked (I deleted them to clean Sync Problem pop up in the IPhone App)

@Egika Many thanks ️

@the_ultraman yes

@Egika I criticized it at first but I started to like it. It looks good with casual clothes. I guess the AM PM distinction in “Stride” has not been corrected. It’s not that important.

@deliu-b I work 4 days a week. I cannot set a reoccurring alarm for 4 days. I cannot set a reoccurring alarm for every saterday (to go to parkrun) I cannot set vibrating alarms in watch mode and beeps and vibrating in sport mode. I cannot choose which datafields to show on the lap screen. In navigation mode, after a tbt alert, the watch now shows distance to the finish and used to be distance to next turn. I don’t mind they changing things, but make it optional. I cannot set gps accuracy on lower setting without also disabling maps. To name a few configuration options that are missing.

@Inge-Nallsson sorry, I meant to tag the TO with my comment

@ElectronBadger My impression after a week: the strap is superb. I really like how breathable it is compared with the silicon strap. For washing the strap, I prefer detaching it from the watch. It takes a moment and is a bit more cumbersome than cleaning the silicon one. For heavy adventure/winter trekking I would take the silicon one, for everything else, especially running, the textile strap wins hands down. Both are great for different purposes.

@Egika hey, I didn’t try. The sensor is correctly calibrated to the wheel size. If it was a calibration issue, the speed would be consistently wrong, not inconsistently wrong, eg if I was going 25km/h, and the size was set too big, it would show 30km/h, instead of 25 25 25 7 5 3 7 12 25 25 25. Edit: it makes me think of the power meter issue reported on the main firmware update thread, with dropouts: if the Bluetooth connection to the sensor dropped, and the watch wasn’t receiving the correct revolution data form it, the speed would be incorrect.
