Not support chinese language and the GPS not work in china

[Alex Lee]

I buy a Suunto 9 baro when I was traveling in the Malaysia. When I come back to china, I found there is not chinese language pack and the GPS not work in china. Is there any way to refresh the firmware can resolve the problem ?

chinese language is only available in chinese market version, same as Garmin

sadly we have no chinese market firmware to share

1. It’s too bad. That’s meaning the watch for my daddy only as a watch.
   2.Why the GPS not work in china?

[Alex Lee]

Can I take the watch to china support center to resolve the problem ?

@Alex-Lee Most probably yes.

Regarding GPS I am sure it should not be any issue with the ZH version. Else any user visiting china would not be able to train.

[Alex Lee]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yes, I know the ZH should not have GPS issue. Is there any way refresh to ZH firmware ?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Alex-Lee I dont have that power. I think distributors and support can convert the watch

[Alex Lee]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Thanks for you reply. I would take the watch to chinese support.

There has been a Chinese firmware version for the SSU around some editions back.
Maybe you can make a rule out of the filename and then find it On Suunto’s servers?!

@Egika How do that
