@MiniForklift
thanks for your reminders… I sometimes forget how well developed the Suunto products are! I see room for improvements here and there but basically, these are simply great watches!!!

Did you know how turn off our watches on latest fw? I tried but it’s turned off and then automatically watch on

Turn off the watch
? Suunto’s watches can’t be turned off 
.
Seriously, they can’t be turned off, not even my ambit vertical could.
How do you tried to turn it off? Maybe you were doing soft resets?? -
He he I thought that upper bottom can turn off watch
-
@tomahawk5000
Long press (12s) upper button is for soft reset. -
@cosmecosta
Ambit can be turned off. There is an option into the service menu. -
@Mi_chael Yes, it could but I remember that was very difficult to find and if I recall well it was not in the manual, could be? I had to send my vertical back and I had to check everywhere how to turn it off.
Anyway, Spartans and S can’t be turned off.
-
There is a trick to turn off S watches, but it is to put the watch in “shipping” mode, then surely hard reset at the turning on.
-
Can you explain how?
-
@Mi_chael
I’m sure it was explained in some thread. Search it
-
Read 8 threads but not found…
-
@Mi_chael

I think one of my biggest grievances with the S9B right now is how custom sport mode don’t save the last used configuration (ie the WHR, sensor syncing, SuuntoPlus option, etc).
I would really love to see that implemented as it would make starting an activity much smoother and faster (ie not having to go into the settings to adjust things before starting) -

I would really love to see that implemented as it would make starting an activity much smoother and faster (ie not having to go into the settings to adjust things before starting)I agree !! Would be nice to just hit Start without having to scroll down and adjust each time.
Or alternatively if you choose a setting say 3 times consecutively it would remember that and default to it. For example I always have to scroll down to turn the Wrist HR off as I don’t use it, would be nice if it ‘realised’ that and turned it off until I decide that I do want to use it. Sounds simple enough to implement -
@MiniForklift
not sure if you’re using a chest belt instead? if so, WHR is switched off automatically.
I think too settings should be stored, unless the backlight. sometimes I run at day, sometimes at night…living sideways
-
@TELE-HO is that confirmed that the watch shuts off WHR if chest strap is paired? That was something I always wondered - say if the chest connection was lost for a period - would it switch to WHR instead. I always turn WHR offjust to be safe
-
@Jonathan-Schwarz for what I know, the OHR is shut down if you have another heart rate monitor paired. And I don’t think it does turn on again if you lose the connection.

@Jonathan-Schwarz @MiniForklift @TELE-HO I too think the start menu is way overly complicated and I have been telling Suunto this every possibility I have. So have other testers. We are there with you. Hopefully Suunto will do something to change that, I just don’t know how difficult those changes are to implement. I suspect they are not trivial.
-
@TELE-HO No chest strap, I don’t use any HR. Notice that it’s always searching for it when I’m waiting to start an exercise - maybe there’s somewhere in the watch settings where I can completely turn of HR during exercise?
