Software Update 2.48.16 (2025 November Rain release)
-
For your information, I also own the Vertical 1, Race 2 and Run. I use all three regularly and switch between them depending on the sessions and races I’m doing. I have to say one thing, though: the battery life of the Run is pretty impressive. With the battery issues of the V2.XX.XX, it lasts almost as long as the battery of my Race 2, which itself lasts longer than the battery of my Vertical 1.
The Run is V3.XX.XX, which makes it seem even more like there’s a software bug lurking somewhere… Another significant issue with the latest Suunto updates is that some of the bugs described as ‘fixed’ are not actually fixed at all: notably the recovery widget, which is still not synchronised (it is on the Run), and the battery drain (which is undoubtedly the most annoying).

Something is definitely not right with battery drain. I’ve updated it when FW was released, I did one full charge/discharge cycle. Last night I charged it to 100% and removed the watch from charger at 23:00, when I went to sleep. Watch was on my hand for sleep tracking, etc. Right now 11.5 hours later I have 94% of battery, that is 6% over night only for sleep tracking, no activity today.
EDIT: before this FW version, battery drain was normal, battery life was about two weeks with activity

I am happy to see that all data from watch is now in sync with the app. Resources, recovery and hrv range now all match. Also when the hrv range changes it is reflected in the app. Very happy about it. But will still keep an eye on it, on resources especially : )
Well, I have to correct my statement a bit. Recovery is out of sync again. Strangely enough it matched for a few days … this is weird.

that’s really annoying. Fixed , but not fixed and “fixed” without any explanation or follow up. Of course this is just a user forum and Suunto does not bear any liability , but this is the reality

After updating my ZoneSense software, I noticed that the color bars don’t match my breathing sensation. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to fix it?

FWIW, my 9PP showed an immediate reduction in battery drain after I turned off SPO2 measurements during sleep. Currently I’m averaging 10%/day in everyday use, previously it was almost double. I’m using the Vertical watchface with Altitude, sunrise/sunset, and date complications. I don’t know if that coincides with anything else
ON
- Alarm (vibration only)
- Sleep tracking
- HRV
- Low brightness and Low Raise to Wake
OFF
- SPO2
- Notifications

@Squirrel Thanks! This was a good suggestion, but not so sure the bug is gone.
The Airplane Mode is helping. It’s even slightly better than the 5%/day (it’s 3,8 %/day!). The last measurement is not even true. I’ve noted the battery is at 66%, but it’s stil at 67 :-). I think tomorrow morning I’ll toggle the Airplane Mode off. Maybe the drain is gone at that moment.
Lines:
- Upper yellow: what is should be according the specs
- Green: the extra drain after the run.
- Orange: expected drain after the run
- Lower yellow: What it should be according the specs
The big drops at day 2 and 4 are runs. The first being 1h 48 min. The second 1h 8 min
If you’d like to help: what is your drain when using the Airplane Mode for a while? And can you verify the drain is normally 5% a day?
Settings: AOD off and Raise to Wake - Display only.
Notfications don’t have a big effect I figured, maybe 1 or 2 %/day extra.
