Spartan Updates

[Jose Luis]

Good evening @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos , I understand that Suunto has been very busy with SA, but we know when we are going to have the owners of a Spartan next firmware update.

In case it is planned, you can advance the news.

Regards, and thank you very much.

As @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos already said, there should be a new update before the end of the year

as @sartoric said

But we need some info, even if its little, to keep the hope for a big update that all of us can say “Whoooaaaaa, Suunto nailed it”
Can we have some crumbles to lower anxiety before the update??

@cosmecosta

Smart battery, S9 watchface, silent alarm, bug fixes and improvement performance.

[Andriy Zarteskyy]

Silent alarm!!! OMG this resolves the most bloody annoying thing about my watch!

[Saketo Nemo]

Maps like F5x, nfc payments (implemented by software, it’s magic !), Shimano Di2 handle, gopro hero 7 compatibility for nicest selfie, possibility to call a virtual assistant like “ok google” but “ok suunto, how far is the finish line?”…and counting…

@Saketo-Nemo

Santa Claus is the December 25…

Or buy a F5x+…

[Saketo Nemo]

I was jocking
F5X stuff is why I don’t have a Garmin. Too much features, too much unstable, too much unreliable. Suunto is near to my idea of perfect sport watch. A little bit and here we are ! Come on Suunto’s guys, surprise us!

[Akos Hajas]

@Mi_chael…and…I will get my daily steps in the tennis move?

[SlaSh]

@akoshajas with Farmin watch yes

[Akos Hajas]

@SlaSh it means?🧐

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@akoshajas soon with Suunto as well.

[Akos Hajas]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos is coming with the next Spartan next firmware update?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@akoshajas yup as s9 already has it afaik

@Andriy-Zarteskyy if you use a SSU I’m afraid you will not be able to feel it…

[Andriy Zarteskyy]

@mbergi I am using SST

[Andriy Zarteskyy]

And BTW there is nothing to feel yet… hope the update comes soon

[mbergi]

@Andriy-Zarteskyy nobody knows…

[SlaSh]

@mbergi suunto knows

Detected on last update, my two SSTs have an issue with battery indication. You could check on every moment: if it shows you got 70% battery and you connect it to be charged, that percentage changes immediately to any other number (40%), so if your watch shows 40% and you think you have enough battery for a short workout, you could be wrong and your watch will die during the workout because it was really on 15-20%. So definitely, SST -at least- shows a random battery state while not charging, and it’s just updated when you connect it to a power source.

So this forces users to have undesired battery drops, and to make charges when it could be not necessary, stressing the battery and reducing its life.

I’m starting to see battery life is shortening by the time, and in any moment this could be untenable, so I wish Suunto take note of this and:
1- Solve this through firmware upgrades ASAP (but after more than 6 months this pretends to be a dream)
2- Suunto extends the battery warranty for SSTs as far as we -users- can’t take the required cares to our watches’ batteries.

@ColdBeer why don’t you write to them to get a replacement if you think that the battery is degraded …

Because it’s a firmware issue and while it’s not solved via software, I will damage the new battery again.

[dimangi]

@ColdBeer I have seen similar things with the Spartan Trainer. Not an issue yet, but the % changes quite a bit the second you connect it to a charger. Normally of course I have no clue of the battery level and charge it when I have the opportunity.
