I find it pretty amazing that S5/S3 are getting features from S9. Kudos for Suunto.

Is it me or has the scrolling improved too? I remember a small delay when scrolling up and/or down (especially HR). Now is much smoother.

[Richard Thygesen]

@hristijan-petreski I have the same thought.

Suunto Spartan Ultras will be updated too?

No, since a while

[tompo7979]

@sartoric Sad.

That watch still has a lot of potential. Very sad that suunto let him die slowly.

[sartoric]

@tompo7979
Why “die” ?
I’m still using mine a lot (always) I don’t need new functions every month to enjoy it

[Egika]

hm. Raise to wake backlight does not seem to work for me
I am probably getting a lot of step counts while trying, but no light…

Any of the experts: I am used to the “toggle” option with a two finger touch. Is this completely gone? Which setting comes close?

[Argo320]

Hi all, just concluded a 16Km run (S9B) but the VO2 problem is still there, not recorded neither on the watch or app…very sad.

[inkognito]

@egika Raise to wake seems to work only for the standby backlight. Give it a try. This makes sense, turning the brightness to 100% everytime would probably drain the battery more.

It seems like there is no option to turn the backlight off completely, now it is activated upon every button press. The toggle functionality seems to have transformed into the possiblity to turn on/off the constant backlight from the shortcuts menus accesible from the normal watchface or during excercise by holding the middle button.

@argo320 Do you use a S+ ?

[Argo320]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos for this run I used the weather S+… usually I don’t use it…bit I noticed that regardless I use S+ or not, the VO2 record is random. Not related to S+.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@argo320 its strange because we dont get this issue. 0 reports from FT

I am not denying the issue though and there was a fix… So idk what to say. Lets track this on a different thread.

[Argo320]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos ok let me know if I need to send the logs thanks.

[Aleksander H]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Any updates for the S7 coming soon?

[halajos]

Nice update!
Does snap to route disable the off-route warning or does it only snap if you are within a certain distance from the planned route?

[tompo7979]

@sartoric Thats true, and thats a fact: i do the same. But its a pity to let that potential without improvements.

New tools, better performance…

Now S9, S5… are way ahead him and thats caused by that software “frozen” improvement.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@halajos you should have all navigation features as well just not reversing a route or looping

For me it makes no sense (and the manual is also suggesting differently).
I set the backlight to low and no standby light. Then I would expect raise to wake to switch on the backlight in low intensity.
Can’t see the need for standby to be coupled to it.
Plus the two finger tap made it easy to briefly switch the light on at night, when a message came in.
Going through a long button press and the shortcut twice to enable and then disable it is a big step backwards in my eyes…
