Suunto 9 baro: December 2020 update

[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.

@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?

@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.

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

[Luís Pinto]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos ok, i just read in another place as a possibility to bring next. But you have more info of course. wherever update Suunto brings will be useful.

[Luís Pinto]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos to be honest happy with what i have today.

[dulko79]

is tomorrow the D day? just guessing.
