Let’s dream just a bit

My wishes

· Integrated barometer as widget or watch field

This, coded by a Suunto employee does both of these.

@Brad_Olwin I’ll give a try. Thx!

[makzam]

@jorgefd78 buena lista Jorge, yo puse ayer otra en otro hilo. La podria poner aqui tambien. Saludos

[JorgeFD]

@Brad_Olwin mmmmmmm

@jorgefd78

Who is right?

[Brad_Olwin]

@jorgefd78 you can set the length of display independently for the tile and the widget. There is something about reference too, I cannot remember.

[JorgeFD]

@Mi_chael s9 for sure. Some web resources give 1015 for my position at the moment

[Brad_Olwin]

@jorgefd78 There is an option to auto-reference in settings

[JorgeFD]

@Brad_Olwin auto-reference gets the data from internet?

[Egika]

Auto reference gets it from GPS position afaik.
Try switching it to sea level referenced in options!

[Mi_chael]

@Egika
GPS position?
For altitude not for hpa?

[Egika]

@Mi_chael yes, for altitude reference

@Metalmi - agreed. Whilst the wrist heart rate is good for cardio activities - weights and related activities are very poor. Appreciate this will hit the battery. At this stage I use Sporttracker to pair an external HR monitor for where i know HR measurement will be poor and that syncs to Suunto app. Clearly this does not show in the S7 tiles.

Would also be good to see a few more watch faces, sleep, body battery and V02. Always on low power display during running and low power location tracking are good but the other features are core to me. I hope we see them appear soon.

I posted my list in other thread:

• autopause
• ability to setup heart rate or pace alarms
• ability to setup a time or distance targets
• in the current activity (running, etc) by default the current time is showing in top, but is small size, a lot of people use glasses, please, increas this font.
• add the heart rate in %
• ability to add more than five tiles

Bonus: if the S7 has a barometer, why not a storm alarm?

I know I know a lot things, but dreaming is free

You can already buy all of these features if they are core to you.
They are already built in Suunto 5 and Suunto 9!
I don’t know if it makes sense to wait for stuff to appear on S7 - it might not happen

@jorgefd78 I agree about the navigations features.

Without Stryd support (natively) I don’t use the watch when I run. I know battery would drain faster but I wouldn’t mind.

[Bulkan]

@Egika if the s9 would had notifications without sound I could wear the s9 in the office

So is not in the s9 all.

[Brad_Olwin]

@Bulkan It does, there is vibration. I miss the vibration while running sometimes but it always wakes me up as an alarm and when in the office it is quite noticeable. I do not have my sound turned on at all for the S9

@Egika said in Wishlist for a future Suunto 7 firmware:

there are quite a lot low power watch faces out there in the play store

ey! do you have a list or something of watch faces tha full support low power as suunto’s watchsfaces do?

[Egika]

@jorgefd78 search for “3100 watch faces” in the play store.
That already has some that support the low power standby screen.
