What do you expect from the next update?

Great update.
New things will probably require minor corrections and improvements.There are probably only three things left to make the Suunto watches (currently on the market) great:
- contour lines on the map view of at least 500-1000 m,
- support for many sensors of the same type,
- improvements in intervals/structured training options
Any extras such as music or payments (unrealistic at the moment anyway) can be treated as optional (and unwanted for many) gifts from Suunto.

- And the possibility to select the weekdays in alarms. This: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/9790/alarm-clock
I agree with you, with that little “but”.
The contour lines seems more a feature for me. It’s an improvement but the other ones are more like fixes.
-
@dreamer_ Current maps without contour lines covering a larger area are often useless in the mountains.
This is unacceptable in this type of watches. These are not smartwatches, but watches designed for various activities, often in the mountains. -
@maszop just to disagree in the unacceptable word. I agree that is an improvement and also that it could be a nice to have, but that’s not a big issue for navigation in my opinion. Navigation does work. It is more an improvement of feature that was not there when we bought the watch.
-
@dreamer_ How can you tell the step counter is broken because you don’t have more than 1400 steps in the morning?
-
@Iggge no. Because those are a lot of steps since I woke up. It has no sense to have so many steps. I will recheck at the end of the day but with just one hour and half since I woke up, It seems the issue is still there (at least for me)
-
@dreamer_ I got no problems here. Sure, it’s not 100% accurate but then again no watch is that. For me it works just fine. The best thing for me is that the watch don’t show 200 steps in the morning after my 6 hour sleep!

Navigation does work, exactly the same as in 9PP. But here we are talking about newer models, about maps in the mountains.
In the mountains, current maps work very poorly and are often useless without contour lines. This is a very serious problem that must be solved. Very often in the mountains the only thing visible on the map are the contour lines.
And it is not without reason that this distinguishes topographic maps from ordinary road maps. -

And it is not without reason that this distinguishes topographic maps from ordinary road maps.Why do maps work poorly? You have contour lines as well. There are simply no contour lines at the zoom level you desire. I don’t see this as a serious problem on a watch.

Try deleting and re adding the complication. Check to see if the widget is not counting. If no steps maybe restart the watch.

@Brad_Olwin thanks!. Done. Will check at the end of day
.
Edit: I have reseted also all the data of the watch and re-synced. That means that I have lost today’s steps but I don’t care about that. So I will check tomorroy again -
@Brad_Olwin I get the impression that for you Suunto watches are perfect and nothing is a problem, even bugs. This is a very bad approach especially for someone who seems to be involved in testing.

I am quite happy with the latest update. Progress has been made with the OHR measurement for me. Before it was pretty useless most of the time. Now it is working for running at least 90% of the time. I saw cadence lock one time on my run this AM, but the previous run it was flawless. I’d pretty much given up hope on OHR for the Vertical. Given this was a major concern for me in the past, I am really happy something was done.
I also appreciate the ability to customize complications on the watchfaces, and to have some more to choose from. I am good with the implementation now.
So overall, I like this update - the software team should be happy with this one.I haven’t tried any of the structured training stuff to see if it’s been improved, but fingers are crossed that this is in the works for a future update if it hasn’t been worked.
Also, I filled out a survey some time ago about what features and issues were important to me. I have the feeling that someone at Suunto actually looked at my survey and took it seriously. This left me with a good feeling.

@DrSilverthorn there are people whose job is to design surveys and read them and see what the majority of users want

@isazi Where do these surveys usually take place?

@Sergei-Ladeishchikov sometimes you’ll see them pop-up in the app

@isazi I have never had any news or notifications in the beta iOS app for over a year (I’ve been using iOS for so long). Before this, there were no notifications on Android either.
-
Can we please have the option to turn off notifications beeps separately from all beeps?

@Sergei-Ladeishchikov what language do you use for the app?
