Let people who actually care about quality and features help Suunto grow, since Suunto itself apparently cannot.

You sound like you don’t have much experience supporting open source projects and have a rather naive idea that there are random unpaid people willing to maintain things for you.

You are not right.

Anyway, this topic is about the software update and its discussion. Your complaints are completely off topic, so please refrain from continuing this here and focus on the update instead. You’re free to create a separate topic for this discussion if you’d like.

ok.

Yes, after your explanation, I tried it now in the unedited sports mode that says “basic”. It appears like this. Is this a feature or a bug? Thanks for the information.

@safari not sure that’s why I wrote that I am asking.

Great update! But seriously, Suunto… not even one new watch face for us?

…in the making… (and released separately from firmware updates)

@Egika
I had a watch face that was “accidentally published,” but it got deleted with a firmware update. :)))

Hi! Any idea if and when Suunto Vertical 2 will have full GPS TimeSync including adjusting Timezones ?

If I were Suunto product manager, this would be a feature very low on my priority list.
There is automatic time sync from the app plus it can be adjusted manually.
You then count the number of instances were both would not be suitable and end up with a too low benefit for the whole user base compared to the cost (of development and of other features of watches being delayed)

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Only 2 developers? Amazing. You can’t stop updating V1’s and keep selling it. Think it’s time to move to another brand, that’s not professional on a leading company…

@Alejandro-Pérez-Beneyto who has said they stopped updating the V1? Have I missed something?
