Suunto 9 baro: December 2020 update

[Luís Pinto]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I’m satisfied with what I have at the moment. My proposals were minor improvements:

1. GPS+Gal combo better accuracy;
2. Better wrist HR;
3. Navigation with info about time to reach destination;
4. VO2 also for cycling;
5. more integration of S+ add-on “Safe” with APP to send allert in case of accident.

@Luís-Pinto “minor”

[Luís Pinto]

Release notes:

We have improved the communications about when new software updates are available and when they are downloaded successfully.

Also firmware updates?

@isazi though it is not funny anymore…

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

I wish some of my S5 findings / issues were fixed although I worry that the only real issue I’m constantly struggling with (keep moving to see direction) won’t get fixed as it’s not flagged as issue but rather a design decision.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel not changed unfortunately

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos too bad

It seems that I’m in the minority thinking that the way this reminder is implemented is dangerous. This isn’t about “I want this or that feature” yadda yadda. I simply find it dangerous while actually using the navigation in tough terrain while moving slowly enough for the watch to trigger the message.

It should be more than enough to display a similar text once per training session, but not whenever the navigation screen is reset (as it is now). Even a mobile notification or auto lap can retrigger it so even keeping the navigation screen on all the time doesn’t fix it.

@Łukasz-Szmigiel This was a significant problem for me when moving uphill on steep terrain. I reported this as well and I do not think it is a “good” design decision. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely to change.

Another user in another topic wrote he is expecting an update for 3/5/9 next week. He actually says the date.

Bets?

[Ander Lehena]

@isazi S7?

[isazi]

@Ander-Lehena I’m sure it is going to come, don’t know when though. Suunto can work on its own for 3/5/9 because they control hardware and software, and they are based on the same platform. For the 7 Google plays a role.

[Saketo Nemo]

With the September update the update was for all watches. I hope this becomes a pleasant vice

[Luís Pinto]

@isazi One feature we know already. Selection of several S+ add-ons at once.

[pacos]

@Luís-Pinto I didn’t understand can you explain better? Thanks

[Luís Pinto]

@pacos i read in another place that would be possible to select two or more Suunto plus features in one activity. For example Climb with Safe S+ at same time. If you see manual you just can select one with actual fw.

[pacos]

@Luís-Pinto ok, got it. Thanks!

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

I can deny this. Don’t wanna raise hopes.

No multiple suunto plus, nor selection during the activity.

I just don’t want people to go excited and then unexcited.

If it helps, before we go into that loophole, development of the s series is not stopped , on the contrary, however it’s kinda typical of suunto to follow:

Feature update
Stability update
Feature update
Etc

Without saying that stability updates don’t bring features and vice versa.

I hope I am not misinterpreted

And hey, suunto wants to bring you features
