Future S9 firmware wishlist summary

I’m not even Suunto employee
-
@TELE-HO I do not know him, and I do not want to discuss with him how to be polite… and even try to offend him somehow.
My post is about letting more people know Suunto is making shit on intent.
And I’m not the one to like such kind of replies as “who are you to write here like that, where you’ve been before”. -
@Алексей-Омельченко
what I see is that you did not raise a specific question that we could help you with but instead you placed one comment in 2 different threads. Multiple commenting doesn’t help so much, it (I’m honest) just annoys helpful forum users to read as it appears that someone “just” wants to drop things here and there.
I’m sure you’ll find help here if we know more about your issue.I can not judge if Suunto is doing things right or wrong. They’re doing business and they need to make money and they know that they must rely on customers to make sustainable business. Suunto can not publish their business plans of course, but what I appreciate in Suunto is that they have a very good customer service and that they listen and consider improvement suggestions.

@TELE-HO I’m sorry, I see the topic “firmware” and did not want to start another one. I apologize for disturbing your cozy society.
-
@Алексей-Омельченко
no worries, I understand your question is about firmware, but the only thing I understand is that you’re unhappy… if you would mention your suggestions it would also help Suunto better and maybe we can discuss your requests here.living sideways

@TELE-HO as for Suunto tech team, again, I would clarify that my goal was to let them see the issue. In case private conversation cannot help at all, a public one probably could.
-
@Алексей-Омельченко
I think it’s good that they concentrate on development and suggestions and technical issues can be discussed here. Many many users, including myself, found a good bunch of solutions and support from other more experienced users
-
@Алексей-Омельченко I think you are angry with Suunto for some reason and you are not aware how your words are being interpreted by other people, I’m among them.
In this forum people try to help each others and if you go through it you will see that a lot of bugs have been found in this forum and later solved by Suunto. A lot of doubts, from users that thought they had a bug, have been clarified as well.
So, if you care to explain which really are your bugs/problems maybe we can help, or realize that is happening to more users and help to have a solution, because I still really do not know which are your issues with the S9 and why you say Suunto want us to buy a S7…

@TELE-HO I believe it is known error about green lights consuming more battery. I’m sure a huge amount of people were asking about that bug since it was issued in 2.9.42, so another brick to the wall would not be enough.
I’m a testing engineer and I know how feedback works.
I also know what is Planned obsolescence. For Apple inc., for example, it is declared almost openly, and probably Suunto did the same to develop new watches from Amer Sports. -
@Алексей-Омельченко
if you use 24/7 HR, yes the power consumption is higher.
But you can switch this off and then it does not effect batterylife anymore.
The same is applicable for activities, you are not forced to use OHR function.living sideways

@cosmecosta please, see the answer before. I came here not to make people angry or happy, just to make the officials answer
-
@Алексей-Омельченко
I’m sure the complete answer was not “bla-bla-bla”…
We have seen complete quoted Suunto answers by other users, too. You can do that, too, if you like. -
@TELE-HO I see you don’t want to understand the essence of that bug. Whether you are not a Suunto 9 user or simply are here to troll me, let’s finish the discussion. Good luck!
-
@Алексей-Омельченко
you did not yet clearly state your issue… I interpreted “the green light” as the OHR sensor you’re talking about.
I’m sorry you did not find what you were looking for in here…
I’m an engineer, too. I don’t rely on luck

@Алексей-Омельченко people asked very loudly to have new Firstbeat metrics, and they got them. Now, using those new metrics makes the battery drains faster (and independent people have done some experiments here, with the increased drain causing a day of battery less on normal usage), but that is not unexpected considering that the hardware is the same but the processing is increased (and probably also the frequency of readings). I, for one, prefer battery over fancy features, and disabled sleep tracking and 24 hours heart rate monitoring.

@Алексей-Омельченко Hi, we can’t help you with this tone.
I can understand your frustration but please can we keep it in polite terms?
We only can help you reporting the bug. But please change the tone.

@TELE-HO yes, normally they flicker and before the update they did. Now they are always on during those several minutes heart rate is measured. Per day, about 10% of battery volume makes difference.
I cannot disable 24/7 HR and use night heart rate monitoring which is important to me. Just before they issued that bug in 2.9.42 they’d answered me ‘maybe we’ll separate those two modes some time’. Almost a year passed… -
nice conversation, I have just one question and it is not sarcastic, Garmin users have similar problems with support? Would I be more happy now having let say fenix 5x plus? Does anybody have Suunto and Garmin devices and can compare?
Kind regards,

@isazi thank you for your answer. Now I know people asked about the bug to add and now they are finally satisfied.
