Suunto Software update Q1 (2.53.42)

safari

From the statement regarding version 1, can we understand that it will now receive updates (improvements) instead of upgrades due to hardware limitations?

isazi

@kriskus both, the display is different from the others so it needs ad-hoc development just for one model, and then there are memory/processing limitations (not the storage, the internal memory) that are similar between R1 and V1

isazi

@Vitaly-B. that is the storage, we are talking about the internal memory to store the firmware and do the processing

Vitaly B.

@isazi Got it. Thank you for the clarification!

@Inge-Nallsson as explained by Pavel, this first version is more focused on providing details in areas where there aren’t many, and it is quite crowded in urban environments. I can imagine that in a future update we will have the ability to select the POIs we want to see.

@safari As a Vertical 1 owner, I’d rather NOT get the new software upgrade if it’s going to be “squeezed in”, i.e. keep my Vertical stable and reliable as it is now.

It’s come a long way compared to when it launched. I would’ve been really frustrated if it didn’t have multiple sensor support or HRV tracking, but since it does, I’m very happy with it.

@danyel
I agree.

@danyel I, in part, agree. I’m pretty sure Suunto will be able to overcome the limitations or issues they are facing and will deliver something for the SV1 without limiting the user experience.

For me the question are: When this update will come? This will be Q1 update or Q2?

Inge Nallsson

@isazi Of course. I’ve read the new maps thread and understand the juggling necessary. This comment of mine was more of a light-hearted thumbs up for some selection mechanism since, obviously, there are some litter bin obsessive OSM editors in my area - and they’ve still missed a bunch in the outlying areas of the village…

I tried out the new firmware this morning on my bike ride to work, with auto-zoom enabled and the map set to 200 and 100 meter views, but I didn’t notice any zooming.

The route was created in the app; the turns were displayed correctly, as were the notifications.

Is this feature only available for certain activities, or is it just not working properly?

By the way, the update is impressive in terms of the number of changes, but hopefully Suunto will remain simple and user-friendly in the future—the opposite of G…n

Thank you to the team for listening to user feedback…

How does the recovery HR feature get started? Did weight training yesterday, with the function activated, but nothing got triggered

UjcoCZ

@peringmar you have tobe in Zone 2 or higher … I think ….

@Squirrel
I’ve now watched the video. It only briefly explains the background of HRR, but not how I actually use it in practice on my “Race” watch.

I’ve done a test using the running sport mode, where I enabled “Recovery HR” under the exercise options, but I can’t see anything—neither during nor after the training.

@UjcoCZ

Thanks:)

@Rayfox the test measures how fast your HR drops after being high, and it is disabled if when you press “End” you are already in Z1, because the rate does not mean much if your HR is already (relatively) low. If you end the activity in Z2 or higher, you can see the HRR in the summary (just scroll down) and then also in the app.

@UjcoCZ you need to enable “Auto zoom” in the navigation settings. Have you done this?
For me it works as designed.

@Egika do you mean Map > Navigation Options > Navigation settings > Auto zoom?

@snow said in Suunto Software update Q1 (2.53.42):

@Egika do you mean Map > Navigation Options > Navigation settings > Auto zoom?

exactly

@Egika I’ve figured it out now. It did not work for me as well… Thanks!

UjcoCZ

@Egika of course I did …
