Poor watch faces

There is also reason to believe that this aesthetic might change in the future, what with the company’s newish owner and recent movements away from the Nordic region. I personally hope not, but you never know.

I also hope not!

@MikeKhachmakhov I think Suunto’s philosophy is that watch faces follow the design and use of the watch UI. Simple, clean and useful. I and I think others personally like that. I understand about user choice but resources are limited and I don’t think a lot will happen. However, I do think you will see a few more watch faces/complications and hopefully more choices among complications.

And that is probably one of the main reasons for (us) users to buy Suunto.

@maszop Like this?

@timecode Still missing on the screen data from the New York Stock Exchange and current air humidity in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I don’t want the watch to be a stock trading board.

@SODIUM Irony isn’t your strong point, is it?

The problem with current state is that all watchfaces are the same in the amount of data they show. Only visual design is different.
Date, battery charge, weather, steps.

This is actually not true. As simplistic as they are - you can see more on them. Some examples: sunrise/sunset times, notifications count, HR, moonphase, air pressure, height, personal resources, SpO2, distance covered this week, solar charging status etc.

@kriskus The point is that you cannot see them simultaneously on the main screen.
People here shows screenshot of the other side of insanity where screen is bloated.
But we could have just 1 screen that has 5 complications

@MikeKhachmakhov some new watchfaces are coming, also some with more complications.

@Arju-Ambin Oh sure, I didn’t get the Valentine’s Day watch. I’m still waiting for the Songkran Day watchface, the Thai New Year’s Day.

Haha I’m sure there are many days to be celebrated. Maybe a customizable watch face where the user can change the background using the Suunto app would be more suitable instead of a watch face for every celebration. Some of the other smart/sport watch brands allow for this. That way devs can focus on the quality and usability of watch faces suites to different fitness scenarios rather than focusing on making one suited for a celebratory day.

@isazi Thanks, waiting very much

@isazi More complications? Excellent. What about Bitcoin price with hourly sync? Don´t take it seriosusly… or you can

isazi

@Tomas-Fejfar sorry, more complications available on the watchface, for more complications kind a firmware update is always necessary
