  Best guess for next FW is mid to late April. Major updates has been as part of a new watch. Maybe we will see the FW together with Suunto 3 Fitness…

  @brad_olwin absolutely agree with you. My experiences from Germany are roughly the same. As soon as you have the ticket from support to send it back / to Suunto miracles happen. Touchscreen in Spartan Sport WHR without function - sent to Finland, repaired and returned to my place in only 4 days, free of charge. Button no longer woirk ed on my 6d - 4 days, repaired and returned free of charge, writing for the buttons for scratched (too easily) of the watch - repaired and returned free if charge. Best support for hardware ever. Parts of the support staff to communicate with at the beginning seem rather at least a little bit overwhelmed and not too knowledgeable about details after their helpfile/database ends.

  @aldnet I’ll see what happens by doing that, I really don’t need MC installed on the phone, so it can go. I did receive a reply in this morning’s E-mail, and they did suggest I send it in, which I decided not to do, as once again, I’m sure it’s some sort of firmware problem, or as aldnet says, a function of both softwares being on the phone. That case is closed, and I am anxiously awaiting a firmware update to see if that helps, if removing MC doesn’t.

  Thanks, @Andriy-Zarteskyy , but not of those steps solves the issue at all. It still remains there. The only difference is that mine (my TWO watches, both SST) has the same issue no matter what you do. In my case, if I connect at 40% and watch changes battery to 12% (this really happends), it does not come back to 40% even after reboot the watch. I know this is not my issue, and I’m pretty sure it’s a SST general issue with this firmware, but I don’t see a solution and months pass…

  @sartoric said in [Watch] Instant HR on new firmware 2.0.40 (spartan): @yannis-belouris 30 sec is (maybe was ?) the time frame needed to have a valid HR sampling. If I remember well (I don’t have one) it’s the same for hr belt My opinion is that we are mistaking a valid engineering limitation (30 secs) with a possible solution like sampling every minute and displaying this until a valid current HR sample. We need to strive for an excellent customer experience despite hardware limitations

  Just tried the vibration of the timer. The last ten seconds are vibrating really short. The final vibration is really long but not in a strengh, that I would expect. Could be much stronger.

  @surfboomerang those fields are recroding just not exported. You need the SML files and I still dont have support for those. However I will add as it’s at least the last feature I ll push for now. Regarding my data that have those fields that is because we use another tool internal to extract those data

  @someguythatruns I completely agree with you. I run on typically technical trails in Colorado with steep inclines and rocks. The obstacles slow uphill as well as downhill speeds. I have found the Stryd useful for training but not useful for racing or technical trail running. My pace and effort vary too much depending on the terrain.

  @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yep, saw that, so well, with this watch, due to the 3m threshold, Suunto Baro 9 doesn’t count those ascents. I wrote to support@suunto.com about this, and also I’m gonna get a Fenix 5 fit file to compare. Thanks again buddy.

  @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I got a collection of Zombie notifications on my S9 (latest fw), Android SA - beta, LG G6 Android Oreo. So, here are just my two cents: when someone accepts Google Calendar invite it is impossible to remove that notification. I use Google calendar all the time, and when I invite someone to the calendar event, and they accept, there is no way to remove that notification. declined calls stay for no reason, even if I check the notification a bug - If I get a notification, for example SMS, and I use quick reply - reply from notification, when I press send the watch beeps for new notification but it was not a new notification, just a reply to the current one. https://images.techhive.com/images/article/2016/08/quick-reply-nougat-100678494-orig.jpeg ^just to make sure everyone understands what I think of when I say quick reply. If I find more stuff I’ll write it here. Cheers

  @subtleguru given that the man himself said there might be something to it in the way the chip caches satellite readings I’ll have to disagree. You are right though. There is no scientific way to prove this theory, outside of inside info w sony/suunto, without buying a second S9. And I’m fairly confident the Mrs would frown upon such a decision

  Why can’t we pair more than one type of sensor into suunto watches?

  @Brad_Olwin True, for me it is not a problem to add a new device every time before starting an activity, but it is impossible to do it during a multisport activity, for example.

  Same here with my Suunto Spartan Sport, sometimes I am wondering why it is making any sounds out of the closet. @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in Suunto 9 energy saver: I am quite sure it picks up vibrations. Mine 6 watches all do it. I have to really keep them somewhere not affected by waling etc.

  @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I will now proceed as you suggested ! It was with the default “trailrunning” profile of the watch, and further tests I did just now have the same result. What I tested: Start Navigation in options, then interval after the start of the activity Start Interval in options, then navigation after the start of the activity Star nothing in option, start on, then the other after the start of the activity One random test in running default mode One random test with MTB default mode Sooooo, I conclude that…well I was right at my first post ! Well, that could be a feature idea for Suunto developers haha Anyway, thanks guys for the help and feedback !
