Suunto 5 Peak feature request
-
Hi team Suunto!
I just got my new S5P as a replacement for my Suunto Spartan Trainer HR. I was really satisfied with the Spartan but wanted the extra features (music controls, SuuntoPlus apps). I do have a few feature requests however, that all should be pretty easy to fix through firmware updates.
-
Screen brightness. Many have complained on this and I now understand why. The screen brightness is significantly lower than my old Spartan. This should be possible to be fixed with a fw update.
-
Second time zone. On my Spartan you could chose the country for the extra time zone from a list of countries and cities. And on the watch face it would say for example “10:34 New York”. But on the Peak you have to chose the timezone from a non intuitive list of UTC+/- whatever and on the watch face it no longer says the country for the extra time zone but just displays the time.
-
Music controls could be better. Skip to next song should be upper right button. Previous song should be upper left button. Play/Pause should be middle left button. Volume control can be as is. This would make for a much easier and intuitive media navigation.
-
Beeps could be louder. Button press beeps are much loader on the Spartan. This is no biggie but could be improved.
The time zone thing is no big deal, but isn’t really an improvement, rather the opposite, from earlier watches, but still…
The screen brightness however is a pretty big deal that could easily be fixed.
Any chances these issues would be fixed in a future fw update?
