SSU 2.5.18 - ON AIR

[A Former User]

On my end, somehow the update failed and had to reset the watch. Not a big deal really.
On the banana products arguments, expanding the market means attracting users who are sensitive to issues that are, for some, minor.
I traded my F5 for the S9 and I dont think I made a bad choice. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. This thread is for discussing the new FW. Zombie notifications are present, let’s move on.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I think he doesn’t like yellow banana watch band replace it with aubergine black

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I’m not of course talking about zombie notification only, do you think is it normal to have all this confusion between suunto app, movescount, movescount web, duplicated activities, data loss ecc…? Do we want to talk about wobbling gps? OHR reliability? I’m an expert user about all these electronic stuff, but i don’t know how a normal italian person that don’t speak english can understand something in all this mess. I don’t want to start a flame but you can’t tell me to thank Suunto for all this…

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@renton82 This is an FW update on the watch thread and not releated to the future of the services that is Suunto app. Lets open a thread there if you like.

Regarding GPS wobbles and OHR reliability for GPS I gave an answer before and the same answer applies to OHR. In terms of reliability this is the focus of Suunto at the moment.

But the above was not mentioned at your comment as far I see up to know (your initial comment) so excuses if I did not imagine those…

Does this answer your question?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@renton82 I would like to focus again on the essense of this update that is the alignment of products to increase the cadence of the future updates.

For an S9/S3 owner this should be a minor update and we did not include the new Shiny GPS firmware nor the OHR so we could asses better and release later.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos don’t misunderstand me. I’m happy with my watch, mostly
The “Banana” products are a generally problem. Nothing will be developed until it is really finished. Neither Sport Watches nore TV’s, Smartphones, Cars or anything else where electronic is build in… But, so what, we buy it, and we are happy with it, mostly…

[renton82]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos As i said i don’t want to start a flame for nothing. Talking about fw update what does it mean “Outdoor settings menu updated to make it easier set your reference altitude”, just have a look and it seems me as before the update…

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@renton82 if you are using the s9 I think its the options that are more accessible else I mixed up the notes (which I did not post here) and then I ll need to fix that.
I think 2 things might have changed for the S9 and that is faster options on the Alti/baro menu and more detailed baro graph (if that was not there already, sorry I am not on that FW atm)

-You can now easily reject or answer calls from your Spartan.

Hi, thanks for the news, and as i have a second cable at work, I have updated my SSU
Not all tested of course, but still not able to reject or answer a phone call.
Is there a specific swipe technic on the watch screen to do it ?

[SlaSh]

@Mff73 you are on android? This function was available only on iOS.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Mff73 its iOS only (is that not on the release notes? Just doublechecking)

Its iOS only since Android does not support this via native connection as far as I remember.

[Mff73]

Argh, thanks for answering.
Not a big deal, i still don’t buy an iphone only for that

[Mff73]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in SSU 2.5.18 - ON AIR:

@Mff73 its iOS only (is that not on the release notes? Just doublechecking)

And the release note is for Watch, not for app, so no clue if IOS/Android related

[SlaSh]

@Mff73 you should

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Also the new laps from S9 are here for others

[Armin S.]

Finally the S3F can record altitude information and display it in SA in the diagram Thanks Suunto and @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Armin-S there is more to come on this. We do have some trouble on creating the ASC/DEsc totals on the app side due to inconsistencies so we might make this native on the watch. It’s not easy with the connected GPS to achieve this at the level of other Spartans and this is our target But as the promise was and is it’s almost greatly there. !

We HEAR you guys and girls
