Software Update 2.48.16 (2025 November Rain release)
-
@Sergey-Balbir fully understand your frustration. Should be at least close to advertised „runtime“
-
@Sergey-Balbir From my experience, do you have enabled the Raise To Wake or Standby light in display settings? This eats the battery.

I had an interesting occurrence today. I purchased a used Vertical on eBay. When I received it the battery was dead so I started charging it. The previous owner did not reset it so I had to do two things. A. Update it because that also had not been done and B. Reset it. The watch said that the battery had to be at 20% to do the update and 40% to do the reset. I charged it to 20% and did the update. Then I went to 40% and did the reset. Strangely when the watch started back up after the reset it showed 85% battery. I never charged it past 40%.
I don’t know what it means, but it might be a piece to our puzzle. I know people just want their batteries to work properly, but posting to try to help.

@Stavrogin battery tries to estimate its status - it must be calibrated to show better results - best it to have a charge from very low to 100%.

Yes, I have Raise to wake with low brightness.
I don’t think this is the main case because this option is Off during sleeping time and the battery shows almost the same depleting rate when I sleep.
I have followed all the recommendations and turned off all "unnecessary " measurements. I did settings reset several times, discharged to 0% several times in a row. Neither of this Voodoo helped
This is why I didn’t take a risk to buy a new Suunto. Not sure about my future choice though. This will depend on my new Garmin performance. -
I hope this one will be called ‘2026 January Snow release’
-
its funny. Now we have a DEMO Mode. If we want to be a reseller for suunto watches? Really? Who and why should we use this Demo mode 
dont read the watch manual… Please only watch your Demo mode unbelievable. Rest of this update is nice and good Features. Now we can have 3 suunto plus apps while Training, nuch better optical heart rate Software in compare with a traditional heart rate belt. Looks really good so far. No info about better battery Management. -
@GiPFELKiND the Demo mode is not for you. It is for the shop owner to display their models.
t6, S6, Elementum Terra, Ambit 3 Sapphire, Spartan Ultra Copper, Traverse Alpha, S7 Graphite LE, S9B Ambassador, S9P Granite Blue Titanium, S9PP Titanium Sand, Vertical All Black, Race Titanium Charcoal, Race S All Black / Titanium Courtney, Run Lime

@Egika why they didnt got “Demo” models?

Because then, that’s something else that’d unique that has to be managed separately from a ‘sales’ unit, which adds complexity and requires more testing etc. etc. In other words, what everyone talking about Run being separate to Race and the others are complaining about
I really don’t see a problem with a demo mode and am more interested in (a) the new features and (b) getting outside and using them
Have fun in the snow, if you are lucky enough to have some!
-
@Egika And where is the DEMO mode? I have the Vertical 1 and I can’t find it anywhere in the settings.
-
@kriskus there is no demo mode in 2.48.16
-
@Gunnar Yes, posted in the wrong thread, as someone mentioned it above. I don’t see it after applying 2.50 anyway.
-
@kriskus not sure why you need it - but it’s in Settings - General. The watch will restart itself once you exit it.
