Suunto Vertical firmware update Q4 2024
Q3 2024 update
I thought I wrote about it, but turns out I didn't, and that's mostly because the 2.37.34 update brought a "big" feature, i.e. watch faces are now managed from the Suunto app, which has its own section with a good selection of watch faces.
Q4 2024 update
As usual, I was not following too closely and only noticed it happened when I woke up and saw a message on my Vertical telling me that version 2.39.20 had been installed.
A quick look at the Suunto forums (I prefer checking there as the Suunto website is a bit short on details) gives me:
- Improved outdoor distance accuracy
- New GNSS software: SONY v00.173
- Automatic compass calibration
- Save POIs or start bearing navigation by using ruler point markers in map
- SuuntoPlus Sports App displays device connection status
- New Christmas and New Year watch faces, along with a new green theme watch color*
- Added a button lock option in the control panel
- Enhanced UI visual effect (the zoom effect)
- Fixed battery consumption issues in certain scenarios
- Bug fixes and stability improvements
I'll be honest: the only noticeable change I spotted is the "enhanced UI visual effect", which is a zoom in the menu when you scroll. Pretty nice, actually.
Anyway, it's nice that Suunto sticks to its quarterly firmware updates!
