2026 Q2 Update
-
Perhaps they were waiting for Western States to finish, just in case any updates messed with their sponsor’s watches?
If only they had a system where they could backup their settings and simply grab a new watch and transfer their data across…
-
@Steven-Hambleton suunto App update is available
-
@GiPFELKiND I think that is a catch up update for Android. I am not seeing anything in the US for iOS.

Something’s brewing

@snow what is brewing ? unless i missed something in the video it just spots actual features ?
-
@Tieutieu Street names and possibility to activate/deactivate map layers are not yet present
-
@cosme.costa OK but still I must miss something and see any reference to SV1 ; more than that I wish for suunto climb guidance update.
-
@Tieutieu moreover, the video was referred to V2, R2 and Ocean only. So no news for V1, R1 and Rs
-
Rather than street and city names, I’d prefer to see colorful markings on hiking trails…

I think this could cause confusion when reading the terrain on a small watch screen. Colours and symbols should be as universal as possible, so you can tell at a glance what kind of landscape feature you’re looking at.

@Stefano-M64 So that’s the summary, right? No more further updates! Or maybe it’ll be in Q3?

@Stefano-M64 My guess is that the release will happen next Monday or Tuesday. This weekend is Hardrock 100 (https://hardrock100.com) , a big/important Ultra Trail event, and Suunto is one of the Sponsors. No one want to risk an update on the eve of the event and mess with updates + possible bugs.
This Suunto video doesn’t appear in the channel (https://www.youtube.com/@SuuntoTV/videos) yet, so I’m assuming it’s live but still “hidden”, maybe waiting the release.

@Stefano-M64 This is a bit concerning to be honest. They said in the video that updates to V1, R1, Rs will follow. Even if I think that is true, I believe R1 and Rs are done, the same way V1 and 9PP are.
After a release where V1 didn’t get the update at all, and with the current known issues with the latest release (crashes during activities in particular when multiple S+ apps, R2 distance, etc), I was assuming this next release to be focused on bug fixes and in update V1 with some of the missing features from the last update.
Instead, they decided to move further forward even more, leaving behind more devices. I want to believe the release will address the main bugs, in particular the crashes.
However it seems this release is creating more code branches. We have now:
- V2, R2, Ocean
- R1, R1s
- V1
- Run (maybe a one off and we should forget about it at all)
As a Software Engineer myself, this is not looking promising for old devices. It’s difficult to maintain, test, keep tracking. And the development team, for sure, are not happy with all this.
I was hoping more a “ok, let’s improve V1 as possible we can and park it” and move on with the rest. But it seems now that R1 and R1s are also close to be parked.

@jjorgemoura the newer models have more resources, so it’s likely unavoidable to have distinct update packages
-
@jjorgemoura what is very mysterious is that the Race got a lesser update than the Race S last time. So, the Race S must be more capable. And my gut feel is that the Ocean can’t be that more powerful than the Race S. The Ocean always has been a special device.
Maybe it just happens that the Ocean has an update ready the same time as the Race 2 / Vertical 2 has. I doubt that they are on the same fork so to say… -

R1s are also close to be parked.Rs is only two years old, so I guess it will be covered for at least another year (I mean, certainly for fixing bugs)
