What do you expect from the next update?

@GiPFELKiND maps are not related to watch firmware. I would like to see some improvements in maps too, like, besides contour lines, some names of the sumits and cities/towns

@cosme-costa ah okay, thanks for this Info. Didnt know this

@Todd-Danielczyk So, essentially is Suunto a Chinese company now?

@2b2bff off topic but yes, since 2019.

@Mountain Yes, but the previous owner let all R&D and all manufacturing happen in Finland, which was very very cool (and one of the main reason I bought a Suunto watch), but Suunto was bleeding money every year.

Nowadays, you have almost none of the Manufacturing (well, there is a few model, but pretty low volume), and less and less R&D.

@cosme-costa yes suunto know about the Problem. Thats right… But suunto also know about the missing contour lines in the bavarian alps. Over 500m zoomlevel. More than 16 month. Until today No solution. How long we have to wait?! How long YOU will wait? Let it be to make new Firmware --> correct the old one first and all known bugs… But if the 3.xxxxxx Firmware from the Suunto ow234 RUN will come we will have more bugs again

I am pretty sure you are checking the maps update for your region frequently but around one month ago, I think it was in December, there was maps update (at least for Sweden) where I got much more detailed contour lines. Have you checked it since? There were no publications/dedicated threads about that on this forum if I recall correctly.

@rooldaa yes i checked it. There is no Maps update for Germany 🥴

@rooldaa There’s this post and thread: https://forum.suunto.com/post/159216, wherein Sweden was the latest.

I’d expect the next update to focus on enhancing climbing features and sleep analysis, given the high vote counts for Suunto “ClimbPro” and Complete sleep analysis. It’d be great to see more customizable options too, like a HR-watch face.

I’d expect the next update to bring some of the features from the Run to the other devices. I suspect track runs, post-activity heart rate recovery analysis and possibly better audio feedback. I’d also hope to see some bug fixes and some minor improvements to sleep tracking and swim tracking. Also maybe some minor tweaks to the new turn-by-turn nav stuff. I was hoping for improvements to workout above/below range alerts but given the Run is a different platform I think maybe not in this update.

Basically, there are areas for improvement:

better sleep measurement data, especially for naps - preferably on the watch, not just in the app (let’s not be slaves to our smartphones),
more detailed data on recovery and health outside of training,
detection of disease and infection based on a range of real-time parameters,
the ability to add any field to the map screen, e.g., heart rate or distance to the nearest peak,
more than 3 views with activity data: currently, only 3 views on watch and 1 view with a map can be defined,
bug fixes and frequent updates,
quick release of new models with improved HR sensors for Vertical and Ocean.
