Suunto 9 baro. what would be nice
-
So after i used my ambit 3 peak for some years now (and i was allways happy with it), i got the s9Baro some days ago. I gotta say that the design is really nice and the gps and baro works fine as far as i can say after a few days, but there are really some things that i find a litte sad:
- app only.
after i connected my new watch with the suunto app, it told me that MC was no longer available for this watch, so i can only use the app now. dont get me wrong, i think the works good so far, but i also want to view my workouts on my laptop, set the setting,… Also with the setting for the different activities compared to amb3p and MC you dont have that much options. For example: I cant remove the “brotkrümel” screen from any activity. I cant set the gps setting (for some activities i dont need gps, like indoor climbing). - personalization
i would really like to choose what screens i want to se on my watch and also on what position they are. for example: if i swipe up, the first thing i see is the WHR. and it always takes like a second or two untill the hr is shown and if i want to swipe further i have to wait until it is shown. for me i´d like the altitude to be the first screen when i swipe up, but i cant change this. - watch faces
i really like the option that i can choose and kind of customize the watch faces my self. but it really took me some time to figure out what kind of data i am seeing on the skales. a note in the user manual would have been nice!
how are your expreiences with these things? is there a solution for some? is there an update coming to get this fixed?
tell me what you think about it.cheers
Alex - app only.

@Alex-Braschel
for your web page issue… I think there will be most likely no SA web… hence all settings and planning need to be done from the phone.
But if you like to look at your activities on a big screen and check graphs etc, checkout quantified-self.ioall the rest… well… there are existing 2 quite long wishlists for S9B features already that we’ve started some time ago. they might not get implemented but you can always wish and hope, right

As @TELE-HO said you may have to use third party services for the analysis. I would say never say never, but it seems clear that Suunto is focusing on mobile.
As for the activities that you don’t need GPS, some of them are already not using it, and for the others before the start swipe down to the menu and turn off GPS. Same if you don’t need the optical HR sensor. Also if you turn navigation off the map field disappears.

I am with you on this.
