Hi all, thank you for your interest in this feature.
Unfortunately this is not something that we consider a priority for the near future.
Thanks for the understanding.
I am locking this thread to avoid raising hopes or concerns to users.
@A-Former-User said in Watch FW updates via the app...:
That’s awesome getting updates via the app!
Only notifications for now
Real FW update in the future
I see expected splash of topics from disappointed users after official announcement of Movescount retirement. I still think that roadmap has to be created to make all users to know what is happening with Suunto app. Now you cannot say that you are not pushing users to use Suunto app
My email. For what it’s worth.
Good evening,
I want to note that there are currently two threads on the Suunto app feature request forum dedicated Interval workout functionality - essential to any athlete looking to improve their performance. These thread were started one year and five months ago, respectively. Presently, there is no good way for the 9 (the watch I have) or the Spartan series to guide athletes through these workouts. And yet, this functionality that is already in place for the Ambit series. It exists on most other manufacturers’ devices as well. (Certainly those in the Spartan series’s price range.)
The individuals who post on that site are dedicated Suunto users…your biggest fans. I appreciate Suunto’s work to integrate Strava. I am fond of the interval data embedded in the description of activities when I use the (limited) interval features on my 9. However, other manufacturers’ devices automatically create laps based on these intervals and this information is also sent. This sort of functionality would be a welcome addition, but only a first step towards incorporating the critical functionality described above (and requested by so many).
I respect the inclination to work meticulously, and to avoid over promising. But, I can’t see how keeping your most fervent fans in the dark for a year is the best strategy.
Respectfully,
Andrew

@Brent-Rodriguez For info I have a garmin FR235 and the livetracking is always working flawlessly. The lack of livetracking on suunto 9 is what prevents me to go to suunto.
I do use the live location function of Whatsapp or Telegram and it also work flawlessly, in the moment you need your phone, in my opinion, is not a must or can’t be a limitation to buy or not a watch, but as said this is my opinion.
@zvonejan hi, i would add my 10 cents worth to discussion.
I have noticed that while treadmill running the various sneakers will give a various speed if i skipped to wear foot pod. As an example, UA HOVR Infinite are a bit slower than Nike, i guess it is due to different sole height and other technological reasons. To summarize i would suggest not inly to count the distance my sneakers ran but adjust the tracking parameters based on calibration of different shoes.

…back end
I know we will only know for sure in october… but never say never. I could tell some examples where companies finally changed directions.
by the way, I’ve had contact with customer support this week… the service and reliability is unchanged top notch
@tomahawk5000 welcome! Your suggestions are probably already discussed in the forum, please enjoy the search function. Plus this section of the forum is for the Suunto App, not watches.
I’d also like to have some more statistics:
-Personal records
-Archievment (e.g. moves in different countries, e.g. 5000hm ascent in one month… and maybe also segments like strava for comparison to other suunto users)
-…
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Awesome! I didn’t know that! I thought that I have to sync the watch with SA in order to sent new route! Now, just for functional POIs…
@margusl that is more or less the main topic - trust.
I trust Strava approx as much as Facebook, Apple, Google and Windows, and although I absolutely understand that I have to disseminate my (personal) data in order to see nice curves, maps, etc, and am absolutely willing to do it (and of course already doing it), I at least try to limit the number of services which are receiving the data directly from me. And, of course, try to avoid the “worst ones” (following my own judgement and not always the general terms and conditions with the nicest wording).
