Suunto Race and Vertical Watch – New Features
Suunto Race and Vertical Watch – New Features in Software Update 2.43.8 (June 2025)
In this video, Andy from GPS Training explores the latest software update (version 2.43.8) for the Suunto Race and Suunto Vertical GPS watches, released on 16th June 2025.
Key highlights include:
✅ New Data Fields – Add custom data boxes like Total Time and Pause Time to your personalised sport modes, ideal for multi-day ultra events and checkpoint stops.
✅ Total Time vs. Activity Time – Your watch now continues tracking total elapsed time, even when paused – perfect for events like the Montane Spine, Cape Wrath Ultra, and Windermere Lap.
✅ Pause Time Tracking – See both current pause duration and total paused time during your activity, giving you better control and visibility across long events.
✅ Improved Elevation Graph – The elevation plot now features colour-coded gradients (red for steep climbs, blue for flats, green for descents), matching the Suunto app and making it easier to visualise upcoming terrain.
✅ Track Running Mode – A new setting for accurate distance tracking on running tracks, including indoor tracks.
This update brings added functionality and usability to Suunto’s flagship watches, particularly for trail runners, ultra-distance athletes, and outdoor adventurers.
