THEY listen

@solid_dd One of the problems here and at this moement is that a lot of bad things happened, not on this forum, but on others and a lot of people by flashing wrong FW are bricking devices.
That breaks the tremendous effort Suunto and I and other tons of testers did.
We feel āhurtā about it as testers that eg we missed a localization.
From the 1st words of @Derek-Lee I felt kinda worse like we did not test enough while we did.
You know, 100 people of about 14h per week on training on all activities pods etc are here to try to reassure that you get a piece of SW that makes you guys happy and better athletes.
So I do apologize to @Derek-Lee for misinterpreting his post and me getting stuck on the āhurtā feeling.
But, just to get in my shoes, you guys test the Suunto app, when itās released to Spartans officially and someone comes and says x,y, goes wrong I bet you might feel a bit responsible, and then as we are humans the sentiment changes a bitā¦
Ouf what a day .

You do a great job here, and also do all your testers, it is impossible to find EVERY bug or translation error.

@solid_dd
I totally agree, its subjective. On one hand Suunto can build trust with its current users with communicating delays and roadmaps, but on the other hand, their reputation will take a hit when they donāt deliver or when they have to delay updates. The plan I think theyāre taking now is much safer which is to not release things until theyāre done and to not provide information about it.

@asdf123 Wie sollte man das ansonsten Ć¼bersetzen und abkĆ¼rzen, um nicht zu viel Platz zu verschwenden? Ist doch auf einen Blick klar, dass das āDurchschnitt 3 Wochenā heiĆen soll. Oder nicht?
Nur weil ichs mir ausdeutschen kann, ist das lange nicht passend und professionell dargestellt. Da stelle ich an Suunto andere AnsprĆ¼che als an einen āchinesischen Billig- Cloneā

I found some already, but not so bad ones!

and if anyone find an error, he can change to English
that works for all -
Haha take a rest-you deserve it!
About the bricking firmwares, I think that might be for users in the past who tried flashing old firmwares because I think thereās some sort of fail-safe for 1.12+, at least for the Trainer
.And Iām sorry for making you feel worse, it was definitely not the intention. Boy do I have alot to learn about syntax and word usage

You have not seen how it was on Nov 2016.
Let me say some history:
A promised update was to come in late Nov, start Dec. It would include a GPS fix for some offset in specific areas due to the Sirfstar GPS provider.
Unfortunately, the provider was lazy and stalled it. In short, it took longer.
You should have seen what people were saying in the forums.
I will quote one that I recall:
Long_HAUL was the user from the forum WatchUSeek.
Spartan is abandoned. Do not buy the watch. Return it.
Why because time (the most precious currency atm) was not enough and a circular blame game happened.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos @Derek-Lee @solid_dd
Just look at the Suunto Facebook page or twitter when any problems occurs with firmware, or a broken strap or downtime on Movescount. People go berserk, the communication about problems is way out of line most of the time, people get offensive because they canāt download a move they made right now, at the moment. And maybe have to wait a few hours. Which is really no big deal. Its ridiculous.

This poster eventually leftā¦I had my own conversations with him. Unfortunately too many folks out there like this. I pointed out how my Spartan was working and it was clear what the watch could do. I was banking on what it would do and not disappointedā¦

@jthomi @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
Yeah, I donāt know if Iām qualified to say it but thereās always a group of people online that you should just ignore and donāt worry about. Especially with customer complaints, sometimes its just best to try your best and donāt get down about it. @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos helps everyone and Iām along with others are grateful for everything he does, I think some people just have to step up.

Youāre absolutely right.

@sartoric I saw that along with several other jobs that are up at Suunto. Everything seems like a mess, hopefully they sort things out!
-
@derek-lee I donāt think the position is related to any mess, itās just people mate. People need to retire go on etc etc.
No company has one person in one position forever, and most of the times the separation is mutual. Would be great if not knowing, for example, the predecessor of the position, not to judge no? -
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Yeah haha sorry. I keep choosing the wrong words, I meant to say that thereās a lot of things going on Iām assuming with the Spartan update, app, and the 3 Fitness that it seems like a mess haha. I wouldnāt know if it actually were.
But yeah, I totally agree with people coming and going. It was just a quick assumption that likely isnāt true.
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos In some ways Iām glad I didnāt see it, but I used to see it all the time in the iOS jailbreak community. Personally I get really annoyed with all the the people who feel deserving of something, but that might be hypocritical cause I always want something
. What do you think we(people) could do to improve this to improve the community? -
Thank you for reporting these translation issues. It seems we could do better QA on these localisations.
