isazi interesting information… but that also means months of bad sleep evaluation and wrong resources… Suunto is starting to disappoint me… yesterday my O HR suddenly hung up… luckily after the reset (12 seconds) it worked again… I hope for an update soon. After that I will decide to keep the watch or sell it. As of now the watch/software is so unstable that I can only see it as a pretty toy. It is too expensive for that and there are many competitors that offer more service and functions …
I’m trying to open a Dispute for Suunto in France, I’m collecting evidences.

isazi it’s funny when you don’t pay for the watch
Stop trolling, you sad person!

@isazi It’s funny that everything is positive when people get the product for free or give it away for testing. For suunto fans, the vertical is the watch of last hope, and I’m the first. Suunto doesn’t have the same power of action as Garmin or Coros, and I understand that. But do you find it normal to say that it’s a bug and that you have to wait for this fall’s maj? For me, no. I don’t want to polemicize, but this lacks impartiality on the part of many people.

@zhang965 I’m not trolling him, it’s just a general comment.

@Lechamoix it is funny how you have lots to say without knowing me
I pay for every watch I own, and have the absolute freedom to have fun with other users in this forum. I have no idea of Suunto timeline on releasing firmware or products, I just share what I can here so that friends on this forum are informed, and I heard there should be an update in 2023. I cannot tell you if it will be tomorrow, in a month, or the 31st of December, I just heard that something is coming in 2023. -

We are living in the year of 2023, You should not assume the source of other’s watch, like you should not assume sex of someone else.

I’m not replying a lot for weeks on the different threads (mostly because I don’t experiment anything else than joy/fun with my SV
)
(I Paid my watch and have no relations of any kind with suunto)
I notice that :-
a few users continue to express their disappointment on this forum (10, 20, 30 users max ?). A very few have open as many threads as they could/should. There are bugs and issues, that’s a fact. But reading comments It could seems that lives depend on those “bugs” and that every SV produced and every user is “infected”.

I’ve been using intensivly my SV since the day it was released. I use guides, maps, maps with guides, routes, routes during exercices. HR Wrist, different sports modes. intervals. Standard and custom sport modes. it represents more than 240 hours, 1650km and 51km D+ since may.
I didn’t experimented any crash. Perhaps I don’t use my SV properly so It can crash !
Autonomy is just huge, accuracy exceptionnal, maps are great…
The only bug I still have sometimes is the no map issue (3 or 4 times in 4 month). But I also noticed that It happen when I don’t let the map screen loading the maps (and try to zoom immediatly for instance).
So my point is : does that mean SV is perfect because mine works just awsomely well ?? Certainly not. Does erratic issues make it garbage…certainly not too.
I also have a few things I’d like to improve, but…come on, everybody stay cool and keep pushing on your activities !!

Multiple alarms would be cool and if I may be so bold to add a second request it would be for a 3 second countdown alert between reps/intervals/etc

Those multiple alarms are asked since the ambit times. If that happen it will be even a bigger victory than a lock button!

Personally if I were Suunto I’d clean up some of these little things that people complain about like the step counter, alarms and multiple sensors, etc. All that said…
Its clear that there has been new investment in Suunto by Liesheng which was clearly lacking from the prior ownership. (Liesheng is the the maker Haylou smartwatch’s) This next update sounds interesting. So far we’ve heard of significant sleep improvements, replacement of Firstbeat which should help with resources and VO2 max issues, some map enhancements and what sounds like significant UI improvements along with likely the normal bug fixing.
I use Suunto because of the design and at its core its still a European company. If we all buy Garmin the only choices in the future will be Apple or Garmin. Yes, I’d like faster updates too but in reality they do steadily improve the watch’s in most case for years. For now I’d enjoy having a unique watch on your wrist that mostly does a very good job tracking exercise and training loads and displays it on an excellent mobile app.

@Tieutieu I’d love to “push on” with activities with my Suunto 9, but I can’t…It keeps crashing. Lol I’m only able to push on with Garmin.
-
@isazi will 9 and 9b got the firstbeat replacement?
-
@ierisch No one here knows.
-
@TyreseJ4 no matter the watch you have, or if you have a watch at all. Have fun, enjoy what you enjoy.
-
Also, in the next update please fix an issue that for several activities the vibration is not working. For example, when going into cycling one does not get the vibration for the GPS lock as it does on running.

Why the vibration is so important?

@Tieutieu I have to echo your sentiments. Using my SV since release. The only major bug for me was the map crash which was resolved with the last update. Outside of that it’s a beautiful watch that has performed well for me on a daily basis. Mostly trail running/running every day durations of 30 minutes to 7 hours.
My only current issue is the Strava Live Segments not showing up/loading and I am waiting for a follow up from customer service after a chat with them the other day. BUT that does not change the fact that this is an outstanding watch.
-
In fact, I was a bit disappointed at first that SV crashed on me twice (before the first bug fix). Then I visited the Garmin forum and looked at how it looked at the time of the launch of my Fenix 6. Lo and behold - it also crashed often and gladly in the beginning.
What do we learn from this: Keep calm. Will be all right! -
@isazi Suunto powered by Polar?
