Watch Faces - we need new
-
@maszop although a complete sidetrack, what bothers me most is that there are a lot of tiny things Suunto could correct that would make a visible change for users. Things that need almost no effort, like fixing translations. So it is always a “Let’s see what the next update brings”…
But I second the topic here, I like some of the watch faces that are very visually pleasing, but more options, would be a good thing. Especially the UX background seems to be missing in some of the aspects of Suunto’s software and firmware…
Garmin that is always compared to has a huge amount of watch faces and a lot of them are garbage, bute some of them are really good.

You’ve just touched the watch faces topic — welcome.
This area lives somewhere between “not being developed” and “extreme simplicity.”
Simple? Yes. Improving? …maybe next adventure

I like Suunto design + watchfaces. Clean and esthetic. For me Suunto watches are both - sports tool + mens jewelry. Out of sport I love clean watchface with time + minimal information. I don’t need tons of info near time during day when Iam out of sport - in work or home. Both watch design or watchfaces from for example ,G" company “screaming” with too many things in design and watchface. Its just my opinion, i love minimalism. I can accuse Suunto for many, many things, but their design is 10/10 for me.
Just my opinion and my two cents :P.
My eyes hurts when I see watchface like this

I’m not complaining about the watch face designs themselves. There are some I like more than others but, overall, I like and appreciate the design philosophy behind it.
What I do dislike is, in general, how weak the designs of those watch faces look when the AMOLED screen is dimmed. They’re very poor designs.
I’ve noticed this since I got the Races S with an AMOLED screen, and it’s something I’m finding hard to get used to.

@enriqueescoms I absolutely agree. There are a few designs I really like, but the AOD design stops me from using them.
-
@Tami999 That one sends me into anaphylactic shock! I typically only use a few watchfaces and prefer analog over digital.
-
@enriqueescoms I think much of this has to do with AMOLED screen burn in.

@Lukasz-Domiza hate to say it but as an Apple Watch Ultra 2 user I find the Apple Watch faces awful. I just tend to stay with the Ultra faces as the rest are boring and dull. I find my Race Watch faces extremely useful and aesthetically pleasing. Each to their own I guess.

@Jeffrey-Tillack
I use “monoedge” and “stride” suits for the office, and “athletes” for sports and outdoor activities. No one has replaced them. -
@maszop Legibility should be a very high priority unless they think their demographic is mainly 20-30 year olds with great vision?

For the record, I think the Race 2 and Vertical 2 faces are very good, I’d like to see more development in terms of options for those two.
For example being able to configure the Race 2 graph to show us sleep over time, or HRV, or CTL, or cycle through all three if you tap on it.
The same with the Vertical 2, make the bottom complication configurable too!
Oh and larger complication fonts
