@Mi_chael with the watch no need for a belt

After my run after work today, I have to tell that I had problems with my connection of the Suunto HR belt… it looses the connection all the time… I don’t know what I did wrong… two days ago with last firmware, everything was fine

Is there possibly a small lag introduced on activating and deactivating alarms? If you press the button, the switch on the screen moves immedeatly, but the “on” or “off” label - however useful they are - need a second to follow.
If I do the same with enabling/disabling DND, the switch and the label change at the same time…

@SuperFlo75 mine had a disconnection today but no sign in the HR graph due to internal memory
I have un paired and paired the belt to see how it behave next run

Hello! Race 2 user here.

New Update new ghost sensors. Basically it forgets about all my paired sensors, my last now has 10 ghost entries. Coming from software development I have to say this is very annoying and it should be a rather easy to fix bug…

Hard resetting the device is not an option if there’s no guarantees it will fix the issue. The update rather shows that it will be an issue. Either clean the list with an update or allow removing ghost sensors via the watch

Race S updated overnight. No problems. Morning Report with weather is nice

@ChrisA
Did you do anything to get the weather update in the morning review?

peegee

@Tami999 nothing new in my report either

Josaiplu

@peegee it’s part of the new report nothing to configure on my side

@Egika Sorry, I missed to add I judged it from the “Generation 1” perspective. On the Race S I unfortunately don’t get these new features

[Bug] Vertical (gen 1) 2.48.16: black flash when waking via buttons

After updating my Suunto Vertical (gen 1) to 2.48.16 (“November Rain”), waking the watch with any button causes a brief full-black flash.

Repro: idle watchface → press any button → short full-black → target screen.
Expected: smooth wake with no black flash.
Notes: happens on multiple watchfaces; persists after reboot; didn’t occur before 2.48.16.

@segi_pn same bug here with Race 2 and Vertikal 2

VoiGAS

@segi_pn Didn’t notice before you mentioned it - but yes, also exists on Race S

SuperFlo75

@segi_pn I do not notice this behavior… but I notice the problem with HR belt connection and after one day of usage I think battery drain is still too much

ChrisA

@peegee no, the weather in the morning report was just there today

OutdoorMan

@segi_pn yes can confirm for Race 2 as well.

@Miguel-Angel-Moreno with the Race I? I have no battery problems with the Race I - charged 6 days ago and am at 35% with AOD, yet only 1-2h of GPS workout due to recovery from recent surgery

Update: just checked lost 2% during normal night (8 hours) with DND on, HR, HRV and sleep tracking on

Battery drain still occurring after update. What did they actually do with this update other than say battery drain is fixed??? Fail

@Stefan-Kersting so i can confirm for my Race 2:

Night Blood oxygen works
Manual measurement of Blood oxygen works
Morning report showed on second night (i missed first night), looks good.
Battery consumption in last 24h was 6% (comparable to firmware i got with watch). But i had DND for around 8h yesterday. Not sure how that impact battery comsuption.

So battery consumption was higher only in first few hours after update. But i will take notes for few more days just to be sure. But for my Race 2 it looks fixed.
