[Feature Request S9] Missing features that will make the S9 THE BEST smartwatch for many years to come.
-
@paradize ask Garmin, they got it in their Fenix series. But Suunto also has alarms for sunrise/sunset. So they know the times. Backlight can only be activated between these times when pushing a button or raising the arm (gyroscope activated)
-
I created a poll to see how important these features are
Sure that many ultrarunners dont want them because they have multiples watch but I dont and I want to have watch that can give me all the data that it is capable of.
I am not an ultrarunner and I dont need the watch to be able to stand 120h or GPS or even 40 hours
I do want the extra features because I can track my health and lifestyle
Thanks

Ok, this is reasonable - I am quite sure that this can be achieved. Maybe it has to be configurable I options for those who do not want this at all.

Exactly! I like the ability to have all of the data in one place, easily accessible, and in a format I can understand. I’m not a marathoner, ultra-runner, body builder, nor elite athlete, just an old man trying to render out the lard accumulated over the last 60+ years.

Given the number on the forum…some votes but only for Sleep, more customizations and recovery…the rest of them did not appear popular.

Sleep analysis
I don’t care about because i’m able to know if i sleep well or not
-
Automatic Turn-on backlight
@Brad_Olwin said “Sorry but I fail to see the need for this, the standby uses very little battery and works great. I would not want this as it would simply drain the battery. I would especially not want this for training.”
Totally agree! I don’t want it at all… -
MyFitnessPal integration
No opinion if it stays optional, i don’t use it -
Sync all the data:
I expect a solution, full website or app by devices (desktop, tablet, smartphone) maybe an adaptation of SA with Electron or whatever…
An offline solution would be welcome too. -
Sync with GoogleFit:
No opinion if it stays optional, i don’t use it -
Watchface customization
I just would like to be able to choose the default values to display.
The outdoor watchface has all the info i need. -
Stress analysis
Why not, but i’m pretty sure i won’t use it like for sleep analsys.
@++
Quote it at all

@Brad_Olwin
Because they have choose only 3…I bet you that if you let them they will choose all of themI hope that Suunto listen to us …
-
choose only three of a given fixed list…
No option to vote “I am happy the way it is”…
That’s nothing you could use as valid opinions…Anyway - as every other company Suunto has limited ressources. Of course it would be nice to switch feature sets in one hardware to make it a S3, S6, S9, S12 whatever with a selection in the watch.
Then have a full feature set for all possible use cases…
And yes: Suunto would earn money big time.…if only it was so easy to develop stuff for the mass market in no time.
-
I am using apple watch now for smart features and suunto watch for sport activities, there is no such thing as perfect watch
-
I am looking/requesting Progression Not Perfection…
The hardware in the S9 is capable of ALL these requested features…
Judging by other users comments, from AP3 it was a Regression in terms if user capabilities to use the watch
Aka Cant use the apps Nor create new ones (movescount)I really like the quality of the watch,
My suggestions are not from an ultearunners nor an athlete point of view, rather from an average person that likes quality stuff.
-
For me it is very important to have reliable data of my trainings. Suunto should really focus on software quality rather than tons of functions. But there are two functions I‘m missing:
- an indicator/symbol on the main watch face showing me that there are unread notifications
- the ability to dismiss notifications on the watch
-
I am looking at these comments from Commercial Point of View as well as from an average user (not at ultrarunner or elite athlete)
Suunto is a brand of high-quality watches, designed for “hardcore” athletes or professionals.
But you can not live only in a selected “very small” niche market. It is not sustainable and you will collapse at the end because other brands that are targeting a much broader market, there are making much more money than you and finally they will be able to develop a watch that will compete with yours. Because the cash/profits that they are making selling to everyone, they can price aggressively and therefore shifting your users to them. Because you did not expand and you depend on a very small/“exclusive” market, a small decline in sales have a huge impact on revenues.Suunto has the hedge here because they have a very well know brand that will appeal to a bigger audience.
it is not a smart move stay “only” with a very specific market because you want to be “elite”.
Even Apple designed iPhones for the masses after being “super elite brand”, and they become the first Trillion dollar company in WallStreet.
Food for thoughts…

How can I share the results of the poll regarding features requests with Suunto (in a meaningful way…)?
Does anybody know?
Thanks

Really good question. Maybe Suunto representatives are reading this forum as well. Another way could be by email.

I would recommend sending an Email with Suunto Support.
