Something new is coming
-
@Mi_chael you may notice that the text “weather” on the top of the screen has the same design as the Strava and TP screens, and you can also spot an “ETA” data field on the screen, which is valid only during activity.
-
It’s nice to see such news. I hope this is the beginning of Suunto autumn news and we will see something really new very soon.

Are we still talking about S9B?
-
@tomahawk5000 the video shows something for S7 as well
-
A SSU leak, too… :P?
-
What’s the sunset icon in the first pic for? Does it change to a numerical value as the time dial rolls into the golden hour? Or a sunrise icon changing to numbers when blue comes its way?

Cmon, just push the update out, I can’t wait
-
@cosmecosta you are wrong. IT’s playing a video made by Suunto via the wear Youtube app

Another leak :
it’s a push-up with a weight on his johnson??
After watching the video, I found a fact that I’m not the target consumer of suunto…

@zhang965 typical day for a Suunto employee. Starting with a good workout
-
@zhang965 an update for everybody - even one’s johnson
Also, I’ve seen a coming soon in SA today with S5 overlay. The first screen was different obviously (there’s no barometer) and the second one was completely different - “safe” on top and bunch of coordinates.
Interesting.
-
Ah oui!!
You’re right. Good eyes.
I hope suunto use more and more capabilities of SuuntoPlus.

@Egika the 2nd screenshot has a big headline in the watch called „weather“… and what prediction can you do with barometric values? Yes, weather changes (additional to measure your m above sea level). But with FusedAlti there is an ongoing correction of altimeter during an activity. So if this is a screen/widget during normal use and not an activity, it is IMHO for weather predictions based on barometric changes.
And do you really need this or do you prefer your local weather forecasts as mentioned? -
@moe67er most probably it’s for during activity.
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos not for me as having access to the barometric pressure values is no use case for me. Nice to see if barometric pressure changes, but for weather forecasts there are better sources. And that one day where you maybe could use it… I don’t know. Planning my long/several day trips are always done by serious weather forecast services.
Improving altimeter is for general product improvement and needs not to be advertised that way.
More useful because more often needed in training would be structured workouts (many requests exist for that) or in my case: put all Stryd metrics into the FIT file.
But sadly I only see some fancy updates not fitting my use case
So my S9B is furthermore worn by my das who just wants easy tracking of his hiking trips. And he is more afraid of feature updates because it may make the useability worse by having more options etc

This thread is about what’s coming to the current watches. I like it and I’d love to have a barometric trend and temperature reading when out in the wild.
Local weather forecast is just not in the scope of news for S9 or S5 - and it is available in S7 already. -

I dont understand that line well

@Egika and as I said I just say what I see and that is the headline weather on that watchface. And weather prediction only based on barometric pressure on the watch is hardly reliable and for planning a long run I would always recommend to use local forecasts. It is a nice gimmick and shows you the current barometric pressure, not less and not more. If pressure drops by a huge value within a certain time, maybe a storm is incoming…but storm warning is an already implemented feature as I remember right.
Temperature measuring with the watch and without a pod away from your body is also measuring just anything, but not a reliable value because it is a mix of environmental and body temperature. The value has no significance.
