Suunto 2.50.26 – Q4 2025 Release Notes

DrSilverthorn

@sky-runner I too have noticed that the SA ascent numbers are very wrong. They appear to be too low.

@DrSilverthorn here the ascent numbers are to high. Walking at sealevel and suunto says 222m positive Elevation, i never had this before

@GiPFELKiND I need this file please. Did you record with the app or watch ?

I also can’t view this active information in the app.

I can’t access or view this Activity data in the application, and I’m not sure why.
Does anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it?

It seems that the digital elevation model Suunto is using is better in some places than others. It looks like it’s pretty accurate for users in Europe, but less so for those of us in North America. Most of the routes I’ve planned in SA have very jagged elevation profiles suggesting that there are very few elevation reference points in my area. Not exactly sure which service Suunto is using (I’m assuming they are paying a third party for the data), but it makes sense they would prioritize Europe first. Although I’m also not sure why they can’t get a globally accurate model.

@GiPFELKiND are the stats on strava ok ?
if not there, then you got a dirty sesnor

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos for reference…
I did an almost similar round of running before and after the firmware update of my SV1.
The route is totally flat except for one tunnel. This explains the small dips in the altitude graph.

Before the firmware update: ascent 0m, descent 0m

After the firmware update: ascent: 4m, descent 19m

I live 1m below sea level which was nicely recorded before the firmware update. After the firmware I ended the run with -18m

Great to see that it is now possible to select ZoneSense for indoor rowing.

And even better that now the multiple heart rate monitors (optical and traditional belts) are handled smoothly.

Not to forget that an older model such as 9PP would even receive and upgrade. Good job, Suunto.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

for any person getting too much ascent / descent on flat routes please open a new thread and post there are relevant info and files

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos i opened a separate Post now for this.

@jussim Zone Sense was able to work for a long time before the last update.

Per-sport mode persistent configuration
Each sport mode stores its own user configuration:

Intensity zones
Map color
Connected sensors
Data screens
Autolap
Custom settings such as autopause, voice feedback, etc.

I’m still missing the option to enable tones specifically for workouts. I have all system tones muted on my watch, but I’d like to have them active during training only. Unfortunately, even with the new update, this feature is still not available. That being said, I really like the new options Suunto has already brought us with this update.

I also see extremely high recovery time after the update.

I was very impressed with the scope of this FW update, but less so when I discovered nothing much changed in a way my external HR sensors are handled. I tried 3 different ones (Polar H10, polar Verity Sense, Garmin HRM Pro+) and each of them fails to record any HR data points after 8-15 minutes into the exercise. I also had occasional dropouts of Stryd connection. Sometimes my Race S can re-establish it in a few seconds, but sometimes just drops it for good. I did not do hard reset, but I removed all my sensors and paired them from scratch.

On the other hand, navigation screen makes more sense now. North up setting is a useful feature. Also finally direction arrows are legible. I wouldn’t mind them being even bigger, but it is significant improvement anyway. I can see which direction I am guided at a turn without having to use a microscope. Now it’s time to do something about the font displayed between workout steps (the screen with light grey background which tells you what to do in the next step)…

It’s been only a couple of days, but sleep tracking seems to be more precise. It does not seem to have the same tendency to log sitting still on a chair as a nap.

Keep up the good work Suunto Devs!

Does anyone know or tested if the Garmin wheel and crank sensor now work?

VoiGAS

@brechtvb Misuro B still doesn’t deliver Speed, so I guess it will be a problem with all sensors. Still
