@jorgefd78 are you on windows 7 ?

[JorgeFD]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos nop. w10 here. reinstalled suuntolink and restarted my router. internet connection is fine for other sites/apps

[Egika]

updated and found a graphical glitch in the watch face selection on my S9BA:
the little arrows indicating scrolling directions are both there for the bottom most selection. At the top most selection there is only the down arrow.

[JorgeFD]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos after more than 100 clicks in upgrade button, now it is working

The Suunto 3 watchface looks really nice! Is there an altitude figure as well?

[inkognito]

The additinal new things I observed:

• The sequence in the Settings has slightly changed: “About” is now at the top of “General”, so you can check your Assisted GPS date faster
• Backlight intensity settings changed to only “Low, Medium, High”… I prefer the previous solution “0 - 100 % in 5 % steps”
• You can turn the constant backlight on from the watchface shortcuts, yes!!
• Timezones have been redone. The previous geographical definition based on states/cities has transfered into UTC+x definition.

Edit (additional):

• Raise to wake backlight works only together with Standby backlight on. It doesn’t turn on the full backlight (at least in normal watch mode). Probably by design, right?

If suunto 5 will get snap to route available even for hiking, it will probably solve all my issues with bad accuracy in difficult terrain surrounded with hills, rocks, trees. I am very excited to try this feature.

@jorgefd78 you’ve been always good with technology.

Here updated at the first attempt.

Nice one, lets test it!

I find it pretty amazing that S5/S3 are getting features from S9. Kudos for Suunto.

[EzioAuditore]

Is it me or has the scrolling improved too? I remember a small delay when scrolling up and/or down (especially HR). Now is much smoother.

[Richard Thygesen]

@hristijan-petreski I have the same thought.

[tompo7979]

Suunto Spartan Ultras will be updated too?

No, since a while

[tompo7979]

@sartoric Sad.

That watch still has a lot of potential. Very sad that suunto let him die slowly.

[sartoric]

@tompo7979
Why “die” ?
I’m still using mine a lot (always) I don’t need new functions every month to enjoy it

[Egika]

hm. Raise to wake backlight does not seem to work for me
I am probably getting a lot of step counts while trying, but no light…

Any of the experts: I am used to the “toggle” option with a two finger touch. Is this completely gone? Which setting comes close?
