Great job! I love the new menu, it even seems a bit snappier on my Vertical?

P.S. Don’t want to take anything from the awesome job the suunto devs did, but I hope we see some interval/structured workout improvements in some future release e.g. counter of current interval repetition.

@Egika Thanks for the reply and explanation. That’s about what I expected as far as improvements (generally improved distance calculation algos).

@Egika said in Software update 2.39.20 (2024 Q4):

every GPS measurement is under-estimating - the current Suunto’s just least so

Yep, that’s my experience as well. When I look at other brands, it seems they over-apply distance smoothing and overuse additional metrics such as cadence and pace resulting in under-estimated distances. I’ve always viewed Suunto’s results as the most “raw” of the bunch, and usually the most accurate. The only issue I have with Suunto’s approach is that significant GNSS errors or offsets (which I still see occasionally) often result in a matched distance offset.

At any rate, it’s exciting that Suunto is working to improve their already excellent accuracy.

Any chance this could be elaborated on?

Some internal changes to improve accuracy, no specific details to share.

@pavel-samokha news about contour lines on the Maps above 500m zoomlevel!?

holiday watch faces should be available now in the app

@pavel-samokha
Maybe I’ve found a strange “temporary” bug.
Checking new watch faces in the app (detail view) while the “watch is syncing” grey floating label was showing, reset the watch one to the Vertical default, not the one I was using (classic analog).

It happened a couple of times, now I can’t reproduce it anymore

On the Suunto Race S. When you go to the logbook on the watch, the activities don’t show any graphs. It will be interesting if anyone else has noticed this.

Mine also reverted to the default. I closed the app and resync’d everything and finally got the new faces (and my previously loaded) to flow back thru

@Egika Rocking a Christmas watchface on my 9PP. Starting to think I need a Race for more vibrant colours though

pavel.samokha

@dazzlerdc it’s default behavior after update, workout data is reset, only basic header data is left on the watch

Tami999

@wakarimasen Exactly, Some wallpapers looks like made for Amoled only :D. I’ll stick with Vertical few more years, but next one will be Amoled, no need such a powerfull battery and MIP. In few years amoled with battery should be much extended.

Christmas tree watchface is what I needed for the holidays, not only for the festive graphics but also for not observing the declining of fitness via the watch face complication

Button Lock symbol now on the “homescreen” when buttons are locked

dazzlerdc

@pavel-samokha Thanks for your reply. I will know in the future.

@GiPFELKiND How does this watchface look “muted”? I mean, are there the outlines of the tree in AOD ? This would be great

sartoric

@dazzlerdc
afair it is explained in the “requirement” page in the software upgrade watch section

Yes in green color

@kriskus no amount of soft resets or language changes can fix this on my Vertical.
