Day to day Improvements

Hi! I add one thing that I forgot before:
14. Following a route, when the screen of the map is in save battery mode, now it shows a black background and a symbol of your position. It would be perfect to add a white line with the route you are following, just to check that your are in the correct direction and saving lot of battery because it doesn’t show the map. -
@qwerty1234 Good suggestions.
2- been asking for this too, many times and often.
3.- sleep time: I believe this is requested by many users, I think it is difficult to implement but likely a priority for Suunto
- stress: would love to see this too
- barometer yes, yes, yes
4
- HR zones: I have been asking for this as a tester since day 1!
- zones for speed/pace would be great too but HR zones more important!
- body status/stress could these be the same?
5
-Time alarms: This might help for now https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ironysoft.theatermodeschedule- The battery saver mode is just that, if sensors are engaged I doubt it would be battery saver mode.

Thanks for your words!
I hope we will see another update soon, last updates have arrived every two months, and I believe suunto is aware that if they consider the S7 more smartwatch than sportwatch (as they often say) they must improve so much the health features of it, or new customers will choose other cheaper options (apple watch, garmin venu, ticwatch, samsung active 2…), and would be a great publicity also for Black Friday / Christmas campaign.With Suunto know-how it could be a fantastic smartwatch with good sport features or a fantastic sportwatch with good smart features, they chose the first one (and I’m very happy with this) but now still being just “good” in both options, or at least not fantastic.
Lets see!

Related with the battery saver mode, I just was suggesting that it becomes the watch into a pedometer, instead of a classic watch, or at least into an old Casio.
How much battery could use the stepcounter? i was thinking in the fist Xiaomi Miband. -
Has anything changed in terms of HR zones settings?
-
@Maryn no, not It is possible yet
-
Still waiting an update… Any info revealed until now and I don’t now why, that would help with the sales
-
@qwert12 There are those on the forum that know what the next firmware will bring but cannot divulge the information due to NDAs. It is unlikely you will get useful information asking this way.
-
@Brad_Olwin thanks for the info, we do understand and appreciate that details can’t be given out (as much as we’d all love to know).
However, is anyone able to give us an idea of when the next update might be released please? Even something such as within the next couple of weeks, or by the end of the year, would give us something

It should be done/launched when it is done.
As in every launching of product/firmware it needs testing, and problems/bugs occur, so launching dates get delayed.
I believe Suunto is focusing on launching stable updates and not just number updates. -
@André-Faria I fully appreciate that, it’s just that I am hoping this update will fix a problem that I (and a number of others) have with the S7 at the moment. There is a work around but it is frustrating to have to do it. I was just hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel as to when it may be resolved
-
@olymay Suunto knows about this problem and is actively testing fixes.
-
@Brad_Olwin Thanks Brad, I’m confident that Suunto will fix it
I was just wondering if there was a rough timescale on when an update might come. No worries if not.
