S9 is the top model

@cosmecosta well said. And updates wont stop. SSu gets the same bat management.

[SlaSh]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos how about baro and battery management?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@slash same

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Just to be clear, I think and from what I see so far, Suunto does not fragment SW.

Except the S3F the rest of the models are on the same line of features SW wise of course…

S3F is an exception due to the Firstbeat FITNESS stuff (not ahtlete stuff)

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos This is very good and nice from Suunto!! Lets hope this policy lasts!!

[SlaSh]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos good to hear such

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@slash hehe I can post screens if you like. Both my baro and SSU have all these thingies and some more great stuff to come

I think, next update has to be a big one, so it might take some time. (from my experience with Suunto updates)

[SlaSh]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos suunto needs to speed up as many people are having races and etc during summer which is busiest time and would benefit from such thing a lot, I mean A LOT

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@slash yeah but it’s summer pal. Lots of people on vacation.

[Marius Jacobsen Eggerud]

@cosmecosta Even thou I do ultras, I fully agree with what you mention. With the battery management coming to SSU I think it will be good enough (at least as long as the price point is today).

Of course, I want to see all pics you can post here.
It’s a good news that Suunto update all Spartan with the same function!

[Luís Pinto]

It seems that we continue in closed circuit … lots of ideas, suggestions, bugs reports but almost stopped… for vacations.
So, until September.

[SlaSh]

@luís-pinto in our contry we almost do not have vocations but for me it is as well quite strange explanation for slow development, do they struggle with Human Resources? In current company in which I work developement isn’t impacted by vocation period as we share workload by covering each over.

[Luís Pinto]

@slash everybody have rights. No question. This is a confirmation that at some point develop of app stopped. No comunication at all. We still now in close circuit.

[SlaSh]

@luís-pinto we will see if waiting was worth with next release let’s be more positive

[Marius Jacobsen Eggerud]

@slash As I live in the Nordics I can confirm that it is usual that things “slow down” during summer, so this is not only Suunto.
Remember we only have summer for 2-3 months a year, the rest is wet, dark, rainy and cold.

[SlaSh]

@marius-jacobsen-eggerud same in our country with summer but you have 3 months to spread between team members. We cannot afford to let everyone out at the same time so all are scheduling their vocations

[Marius Jacobsen Eggerud]

@slash yes, but it is still fewer resources available.

[SlaSh]

@marius-jacobsen-eggerud It is just speculation so tread this with grain of salt, we had some situation when development was running on few senior guys and if they on sick/annual leave we had impact of development performance. Now we spread tasks between teammates and working more in agile way than waterfal

Ya know, I’ve decided that Suunto Updates will come like babies come; they will be here when they’re ready, and not a moment before, no matter how much we yell, scream, kick, cry, and whine… LOL I know, we all want to see what the “newest” stuff is, but when it’s released, it’s not “new” anymore, so we wait patiently for a day or two before we start wanting the next “newest” update… Amusing to watch…
