Software Update 2.48.16 (2025 November Rain release)
-
I’m still seeing battery draining at about 0.5% per hour (without activities, 247 HRM, AOD, low brightness). This is quite terrible IMHO.
I have no BT devices at all except the app on Android. I read that disabling the app from running in the background on Iphone solved battery drain. I also noticed a new version 6.4.7 on Android.
I’m wondering if maybe the BT to the phone is the reason for drainage. Does 6.4.7 solve this issue?? -
@maszop i don’t know

@Gideon-Kaempfer like with every update, pls wait for a discharge/charge cycle before judging battery percentage… Thx!
-
@Egika OK. So when do you recommend I charge the watch? At 10%?

yes. between 20% and 10% will do.

Oh yes, exactly how it works.
Thanks! You mentioned on another thread that no need to stop activity to set flashlight on, just long press down button to activate control panel and set it from there. Thanks for that also, very handy! You also mentioned that you had managed flashlight to be second on the top of that control menu. How this can be done or can a language setting or something change the order? Because mine is many more clicks away from the top. This could be a nice next update if it would be at the very top. Because need for flashlight can come quickly, need to change e.g. Suunto plus applications, not that quick need

@SuuntoR that’s interesting. Which sport mode were you using?
For me first in the activity options is button lock and second is flashlight.

@Egika For me (SV1, 2.48.16, German) flashlight is the 11. option.

It doesnt seem to matter which sport mode is on (running, hiking, even crosstraining) and its 10 clicks away for me (latest software, Finnish language, but also if English)…

@ChrisA thanks for sharing, i am excited to see it tomorow. It looks nice.

@Stefan-Kersting AFAIK, the battery drain is definitely related to BT connections, my battery is much better with the new firmware. I have my personal V2 running production firmware and a test V2 running field test firmware (newer than production). Both seem to have similar battery drain and much more inline with specs.
You will lose everything with a factory reset. Custom sport modes, history for HRV, etc. The training will sync back from the app.

Same for me. Not convenient at all.
-
@Egika where can I find these features? I cannot see them in my evening run?
Edit… sorry I saw this is for R2 and V2… -
This update does not solve the battery drain issue in Suunto Race. It is even worst at least in my case. I charged fully the battery yesterday end of the day and today at this time not even 24 hours later battery is at 56%. I just run 2 hours this morning which consume an 8% of the battery approximately. I want to love this watch but it is really hard with all the software issues. This is not an stable operating system, it is not even beta.

@Stefan-Kersting There are not really fancy new features in this update, only the merge of the two software streams and bug fixes.
So I guess they focused on the bugs this time. But as it seems unfortunately with limited sucess
plus there is the GCT and vertical oscillation introduced. But maybe not fancy enough…
Is it available only with a HR belt with running dynamics or with the watch itself ?
