Software Update 2.44.46 (2025 Q3)
-
I had several issues with the update - 1st time I have had any with having the watch nearly 2 years.
Watch lost custom modes and was hard reset.
Black grid, I am currently on a bike tour in Norway. If I zoomed out to 1km I could see map but zooming in had black screen. Worked for first 20km then never came back for the next 100k. I could see breadcrumbs fine.
When autopause the autopause didn’t blink so you could read distance to next waypoint. Hope that makes sense.
Climb guidance looks good showing waypoints and colours. I did find it hard to see where I was on the graph.
On the graph when autopaused the ± buttons didn’t work as the screen showed the autopause icon.I have done a soft reset and I’ll see how it works tomorrow.
Thank you for the update. Some nice functions added.

@Audaxjoe Is it right that only Android users have this problems.
On my vertical and a friends one there are absolutely no problem with the new software.
Both we have the vertical and iOS App. -
@Kaiphi Watch successfully updated here
I also used to lose one sport mode with previous updates, but this time they were all kept like all other settings. Maybe I am also lucky
Edit: my smartphone runs Android 10

@pavel.samokha first bike ride with Suunto Race after this sw update.
I am using Assioma Uno power meter and have some weird power related statistics in the Suunto app (and also in the watch).
I have dual recorded the ride with Wahoo Roam v3 so I have reference for the power data.
As can be seen below in the power vs HR curve, there is only power data for the first 22 minutes of the 2.5h ride. The average power (with zeros) is an obvious wrong power of only 24 watts. Also normalized power and more crucially the power-based TSS is vastly underestimated The average power (with zeros) recorded on the Wahoo is 188 watts which is correct.
I hope this is a one-off glitch and that the power meter recording is not fully broken
Anyone else with similar issue?

@Sportsfreund I am on Android. Also trying to download a map and it is stuck in a loop. 5ghz super fast hotel WiFi. I have heard people say this can be an issue. Not much I can do about it in holiday
️App keeps telling me to attach to charger. I have done now, but still no change, just says map waiting to download.

@Audaxjoe said in Software Update 2.44.46 (2025 Q3):

And the watch is actually connected to this network?
I thought only 2.4 GHz is supported. -
@Squirrel I had heard that it only works with 2.4. Which makes me think the 5g is the problem. Obviously I can’t alter this on a hotel WiFi. I have tried turning phone into a hotspot but no difference.
It the App that needs to be connected? I don’t think the watch has settings for WiFi? Or am I missing a setting. I have never had issues downloading maps before.

Connect your phone to hotel WiFi, unless you have enough/unlimited mobile data
-
On your phone enable hotspot, 2.4 GHz, simple password, enable WiFi sharing to bypass mobile data (unless using mobile data OK, as mentioned above)
-
WiFi is setup through the Suunto app. Watch icon>[…]>Wireless networks
-
Add your active hotspot as a new network
-
Download maps

@Kramble No update issue on my Vertical with Suunto app on Android 12

I wanted to expand on my previous comment about climb guidance 2.0. I tried controlling the elevation profile by creating a bunch of waypoints at highest and lowest points along the route. In addition to that I had POIs for good water sources along the route. Since I returned on the same path, I doubled all my waypoints. However during the actual navigation that didn’t work as expected because a number of waypoints that I had on the return part of the route got moved to the first part of the route. Because of that I couldn’t see the elevation profile the way I hoped. Also, zooming of the profile didn’t work quite as expected because in some places I ended up having two waypoints at the same location and distance and where the profile was supposed to show 4 waypoints it showed only 2 or 3.
This is further discussed in the following post:

@pavel.samokha “Downloading maps now enabled also without charger” This is not working on my new watch, Suunto Race S - it still asks me to connect with a power cable.
I reset the watch a few times, reinstalled the software on the phone, and all are up-to-date.
-
@Brad_Olwin But, we also have arrows on the line for the direction. That’s why I said a switch in options to turn it on or off, or shortcut - eg. double tap on the screen to show/hide climb guidance colors on navigation line
-
SV automatically updated last night. Same than my SRs : nonissue at all, everything is like before
-
The pin protection is definitely not working stably. I turned it off. I plan to use it if I need to charge in a public area in the future.
-
@Squirrel Cheers mate, I followed your instructions and maps are now downloading
-
@Frederick-Rochette for me the smart belt battery reading is 30%. Changed the battery out of curiosity and it’s still 30%
-
@fanchGr There is a new SA version available for Android now and multisport customization is there as well

Did someone observe strange behavior of the OHR sensor since this update, too?
Mine suddenly shows a heart rate that is at least twice as high as it should be. A soft reset fixes that.
I read somewhere that this problem occurred in prior versions as well but my Race never had it.
-
@borgelkranz yes i can confirm this behavior on my Race. I usually use a HR belt for cycling or running, but for walking or hiking I rely on the OHR. Usually for those activities OHR has always been quite “accurate” for me , but now when I walk sometimes the readings suddenly move from 80-100 bpm to 150 or more for few minutes… Then they go back to reasonable numbers
-
@VoiGAS Now this is a feature I would love to have… I would rather ofc not need it but I have had my watch crash like 5 times in a year during an activity. Support asked me to send the watch back but yeah I have a race coming up in september and they couldn’t guarantee me if I would get the watch back in time (which I ofc understand). So I have a small hope that once I send back my watch the crashing will be magicaly fixed ( a person can dream right )
