Software Update 2.48.16 (2025 November Rain release)

Bradleyd

Speaking of fewer bugs, does any cyclist have the 2.48.16 version, use a Polar H10 HRM, and have Wahoo Speedplay power pedals? If so, will you confirm that the HR is displayed ina training and recorded on the watch when cycling power is paired?

Starting in 2.44.46, the combination of the H10 and Speedplay Power pedals results in the HR signal dropped, making it impossible to use ZoneSense and pedaling power together during training.

For my Vertical, I’ve downgraded to firmware 2.43.12 to have this capability.

Installed on Race S. The only thing I noticed so far, is that my running pace zones got reset to default. (6’00, 5’30, 5’00, 4’30/km)
If you don’t know your zones before the update, go to any pre-update run in Suunto app, for graph choose Pace on the left and then see the details by tapping on (i) Pace zones below.

Which HR strap model does this function work with?

I have Suunto smart bell, Polar H10 and Wahoo old’ model.

Settings - Training - Intensity Zones - Extended Zones - Running - Pace Zones

(translation could be somehow different)

New features:

Ground contact time and vertical oscillation in running log summary

Can somebody answer me the question why the new feature (ground contact time and vertical oscillation) is only available for the newer (2) watches? Missing Hardware (which one?), processor speed or just software?

Just for curiosity: what does “Rain” stands for?

Yes, this would be my next question if @SergioB didn’t ask that before me. Maybe a hint that the Q4 update will come on top!?

@SergioB
I know a song of Guns N’ Roses, perhaps ?

SuperFlo75

@SergioB The Guns n‘Roses song with this title seems possible… or it might be a hint about the ‚typical‘ november weather? Although this is not correct in southern bavaria this year… we have very nice weather at the moment… no rain… 🤩🥰🤩🥰 but I don’t know anything about the weather in Finland

Song or no song-related, main thing is this was a bug fix-related firmware, and we’re in store for Q4 firmware release before 2026

Just updated my vertical with the new FW and all the ghost BT connections are still there - without beeing able to delete them. The watch is continuing beeping all the time without showing why it is beeping. The only possibilty to stop the watch beeping is to set it to flight mode. But what is the point having a watch that costs 800 euro when setting it in flight mode all the time?

This problem has been adressed several times since the last update and Suunto did not fix this bug. That is not good enough and I am feeling really annoyed having a watch with these issues.

I am wondering if the battery drain problem is solved and I have my doubts. When setting my watch into airplane off mode the battery dropped with 2 percent after one hour. Is it that difficult to fix these kind of bugs, Suunto?

I have to say that I don t look forward to other FW updates when Suunto is gambling with the trust of their consumers and I am really disappointed.

SuperFlo75

@Stefan-Kersting you had contact with @pavel.samokha to talk about your problems and to send logs of your watch? For me it seems that you are one of the users with the worst issues? If there is no test watch with your problems, they cannot test is the new firmware can fix these problems!

enneo

@SergioB possibly the song as the main bugfix is the battery (d)rain?

enneo

@Stefan-Kersting I guess you’ve already tried a factory reset?
I know that it’s painful as you cannot store the watch configuration…

Tomas5

@gone-troppo to confirm that you must wait at least few days. It is hard to say from just few hours.

Stefan Kersting

@Mads-Hintz-Madsen did you try a factory reset? I have the same trouble but before doing a factory reset and loose all my setting I want to ensure that it works and the the factory reset isn t wastet.

SuperFlo75

@gone-troppo I think you have to wait several days to get a reliable answer from the forum users…

Stefan Kersting

@SuperFlo75 obviously I am not the only one with these problems and @gone-troppo had issues too. A hard reset did not work either.

I am getting more and more annoyed just seeing my watch that doesn t work
