Future S9 firmware wishlist summary

Soylent Yellow

@soojong-moon Ditto for the impossibility to edit routes on iOS. Worst part of the SA ecosystem.

@soylent-yellow route editing may be coming.

Hi all,

I have a S9 baro.
My suggestion for adding a “backlight on” screen icon, because sometimes, the screen goes on, and in certain conditions, you cannot note it, like sunlight, or when you are in the sea o swimming pool.

When you twist your wrist, sometimes the button is pushed so the screen gets unlocked, and an accidental touch o when water touches the screen, it gets light on.

Regards.

@gnz-ct That’s exactly why my S9B backlight is set to automatic instead of toggle.

GNZ ct

@surfboomerang That’s right, but in automatic mode, screen goes on every notification you receive (whatsapp, telegram, sms,…) and it was bothering me

@gnz-ct @surfboomerang “Patience Grasshopper”. you can look that quote up and probably infer something.

June is Coming?

This comes to mind:

In between numbers for compass declination (exp. +3.54, -1.58 ect.)
Break notification (if the resources go under 20% the watch tells you to slow down, take a deep breath & take a 30 min break)
Same goes for sleep notification (like sunrise/sunset - exp. 1h before sleep it tells you that its time to go to bed/sleep)

Virtual pacer is coming
One of the thing i wanted the most !! Maybe THE thing…
But why a S+ feature ? I don’t use it so much but will it possible to use 2 S+ now ? (Virtual pacer + climb)

Brad_Olwin

@ink357 Unfortunately not, the S9 baro is close to its processing limit already with S+. The ability to activate/deactivate S+ during an activity might help with some of this.

@Brad_Olwin thanks, i thought a S+ had to be defined at the begining of an exercice and couldn’t be stopped

It does for now but a lot of requests to make this start and stop within an exercise, we can hope that this will be implemented but no guarantees.

@brad_olwin Voted +1000
Even more than a lock button.

I would love to be able to switch Suunto+ screens on and off during an activity.

100% with you and often discussed so I hope this will happen.

surfboomerang

@brad_olwin And on top of that, remember the last selected Suunto+ screen. Or even better, make it configurable per sport mode.

Can’t wait for new analog watch face update 🤭 Replace some old WF with new ones…

Are S9/S9B/S9P ever likely to get full topographical maps (like the S7), ability to play music, ability to make payments?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@jamie-bg not with their current SW/HW.
