Suunto 2.50.26 – Q4 2025 Release Notes
-
@thanasis well not completely. Let’s let a little time pass. I’ll prepare Also some tools
-
@Zdeněk-Hruška This has been a long-standing bug with Suunto watches. If GPS is locked, the watch will source pace and distance from GPS, not from Stryd. If GPS is not locked, such as running on the treadmill, then Suunto will use Stryd for pace and distance.
I’ve raised bug this with Suunto support a few times, so hopefully it gets fixed.

@atoponce nope I don’t think it works like so.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos That’s what I’ve observed. Here is a recent outdoor 5K race with the Stryd Next Gen pod paired to my Race S. The paces differ:
Here is a treadmill workout. The paces perfectly agree:
This is reproducible on every run I do outdoors versus indoor. When GPS is locked, the paces with Stryd disagrees. When GPS is not locked, the paces are in agreement.
-
This is a 5K race that alerted me to the problem. Suunto reported the distance as 5.19 km when the the course was actually short at 4.63 km, which Stryd correctly calculated. Note that Suunto’s pace is consistently higher than Stryd’s, and thus for the duration, resulted in a longer distance.

@atoponce afaik you should turn off auto calibration but this was long time ago for me with stryd. I’ll ask internally

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos that doesn’t work unfortunately. I have all Stryd data turned on and calibration turned off and if I am lucky I will get a power from the pod. But the pace is always from the watch (I tested with different settings and hand movements). Maybe I am wrong but it seems like that’s really the case and it shouldn’t be.
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Thanks for raising this internally. Auto-calibration is disabled, but auto-calibration is a new feature with the release of this firmware. I’ve checked several runs going back to January 2025 when I purchased the watch. This bug has been present since at least that point.

Hello,
I had the following problem today (similar to 3 months ago):
31% battery in the morning
30% training start trail running: battery mode endurance
19% at training stop after 3:42 h (!6.30h)
Door unlocked, toilet, alarm 9% (16.35h)
1% 16.45h
Battery usage since the last full charge:Jan 11: 100%, 12.30h
Jan 11: 95%, 3.25 h training (endurance mode) 16.30h
Jan 12: 92%, 10h
Jan 12: 86%, 3h training (endurance mode) 16.30h
Jan 13: 84% 10.15h
Jan 13: 77% 3.5 h training (endurance mode) 17.15h
Jan 14: 74% 11h (no training)
Jan 15: 68% 10h
Jan 15: 60% 3h training (endurance mode) 17h
Jan 16: 50% 10h
Jan 16: 40% 3.5 h training (endurance mode) 17h
Jan 17: 31% 10h
Jan 17: 19% 3.75 h training (endurance mode) 16.30h
Jan 17: 1% 16.45hUntil Jan 15 everything was great, then a 10% drop overnight is not good, and going from 19% to 1% in 15 minutes is unacceptable. I normally charge the watch once a week at about 20%, I bought it in October 2023. I had this jump from 19% or 18% to 1% about 3-4 weeks ago as well, but without any training beforehand.
What is going on? Ideas?

@atoponce auto calibration was there before as well. Back when I was using stryd I vaguely remember this setting. I’ll get back to you guys about this.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos thank you very much. I think there are more threads regarding the Stryd not working properly with Suunto in this forum as well as on Reddit for example (especially about pace and distance not coming from the pod). I haven’t used Stryd for a few years. I remember that it worked flawlessly before. There are definitely some issues now. And it seems to be the case that on the treadmill it works as it should while on the gps profiles watch seems to prefer gps data. At least from my experience and testing.
Thanks for all the help!
Edit: Also there was a pairing issue with the new 5.0 Stryd but that one had been sorted out by the Stryd update. -
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos toggle for auto calibration was there the whole time as you said, but it did dissappear at least for Stryd when we got the first firmware version that introduced ability to pair multiple sensors of same type.
Then we just got it back on latest 2.50.26 firmware -

Thanks for the info.

Right, disappeared due to Q3 2025 update bug.

Fazua Evation power meter not connectable any more.
With the firmware before this one it was connected with CSCS protocol but without transferring data. And now there is only the name “Fazua Evation” and nothing else. No connection, just the result of the scan process.
On my Spartan Ultra everything is working, I can choose between speed/cadence (CSCS) and piwer/cadence (CPS).
With firmware 2.44.48 everything was fine with 9PP and Vertical. Afterwards no pleasure and just frustration.
️It cannot be so difficult to implement the both protocols, because it was working before the change of Suunto’s bluetooth stack to several connectable ble devices.
Maybe the programmer from back then can help. 🧐
-
@pilleus the same problem with the Fazua Ride 60. Very frustrating indeed.
-
Another software update without fix.
Suunto’s priorities are looking really bad. -
@Zdeněk-Hruška My understanding is when stryd is paired as a footpod via Settings - Connectivity, watch uses Stryd distance. And if the calibration is enabled, Stryd distance coefficient can be calibrated by watch GPS distance.
When stryd is not paired as a footpod, it can be connected via S+ Sports App Stryd, in this case, distance is from watch GPS.
Could you test ? Sorry to ask this like this but sold my stryd. And this is kinda the official info. If that doesn’t work, I’ll prio this, we also have a big issue with stryd 5 afaik so let’s batch those 2 if needed.
Good morning and have a great week.
