Suunto Software update Q1 (2.53.42)
-
@Squirrel That was my expectation!
Instead, it was fixed at 500m on my watch (Race). I may have done something wrong as I did only a quick check enabling turn by turn notification on one of my usual runs, will double check with my wife’s Race S as well. -
So when will they fix the battery drain issue for vertical 1 users? Still getting 20% a day like flogging a dead horse I guess suunto have just forgotten about it and moved on? I’m sure others still experience this and are probably tired from talking about it.

@HonzaS I just have to comment that even though the pictures look extremely nice in this blown up state, in reality we have to fight with physics and optical laws. Edit: at your post https://forum.suunto.com/post/188741
For example: I am myopic (nearsighted), which means that removing my glasses - for general sight - I can see fine details at a close range. But, on my Suunto Race S these new Elevation Labels on the Contour Lines are practically invisible. I see the lighter area surrounding the label, but the numbers themselves are undiscernable without a jewelers loupe/magnifying lens.
This is at a distance between eye and watch of ca 18 cm (ca 7 inches) which is my current focus point at the age of 66. Perhaps a younger person would have a better chance with these tiny details though…
Edit 2: The “Map style” “Winter” does have a colour for the elevation numbers which makes them discernible, with some focusing effort, even to me. But I would not like to be in a winded or exhausted state (with sweat trickling down into the eyes) while trying out such eye gymnastics!

@Tami999 you must update maps to latest version. It is stagged release so maybe you still have old data. Keep suunto app up to date. Newest app will offer update of maps in watch.

Just wanted to mention, no problems with the Race 2 after software updaten. HR-zones are kept.
I do have one other thing, I would like to be able to have touch screen music control for some workouts, like for weightlifting for example but no music control while running or cycling. Enabling music control, enables music control for all workouts. Thanks for allowing, touch screen control, in work-out mode.

@Squirrel I agree. In mountaineering the routes are only approximates, the actual path depends on the current conditions (crevasses).
