S9 is the top model

[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)

@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.

@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…

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos excellent, single code-line is always easier

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Development is not stopped we get updates and features. It might be even faster as most people now leave developers alone so again I will post about this please stop any speculations here or how a company works before I put a boot on. This personally irritates me.

As far as I know you and me are consumers not supervisors nor CEO/CTO. Stick to that.

For your information Ambit and diving watch support is already in your app, but as an easter egg, the elevation bug is almost fixed, the backend supports fit exports, Sport mode customization is 90% done (I actually use it all the time), route planning ascent is fixed, route planning is coming to android, other things that Ill keep my mouth shut are coming after summer as well.

So you might very very soon get the above. The only thing that stalls atm this to come to you is more the decision, before someone berserks again support why his already paired Ambit does not pair with the app.

So vacation or not we are not machines. To the nordic countries vacation is outmost essential. Nordic counties want to provide a good human living conditions and if you want to go comparing this way I bet most of the worlds countries have a lot to be jeleus about the nordic countries.

But hey on the other side, other companies have the chineese kids, the chineese factories with high suicide rates and a 1e max per day salaries with no vacation.

As a consumer I bet you might not care, that is ok, but that says a lot about you then as a person to be honest. (since we gone this way conversing I ll go though it all the way).

You know, Suunto, does not have any obligation to provide any watch update if they want to. You should be great full.

What people sometimes think here, and yes I see that, is that Suunto is some big company that tries to fool people and make money.

Suunto is not a Garmin size company. Apart from the StakeHolders all people are elite or top athletes that love like crazy the products they build. I bet if you ask anyone that has been to the summit as a consumer he will say the same.

So please do not speculate.

[Luís Pinto]

@slash You must believe in facts, not promises. Tomorrow we will be dead.
But more important than a watch, app or whatever the most crucial is our human machine.
When you are fine, watch is just a small instrument.
Sometimes we give too much importance to what is less important.

[SlaSh]

@oeagleo well I haven’t been in such beta when beta release takes almost one month that’s why I am surprised we are not beta anymore it is production release timing

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos

• Watch: works.
• App: works.
• Weather: hot and sunny.
• Few tiny details: we have to get a little creative, say using Movescount, RunGap and the Suunto app, but it’s a choice we’ve made, knowing what we were getting into.

Now is a wonderful time to use watch and app, both for us, and for the people that make our watch and app to go and use their watch and app, so they can come back to their compiler full drive to make shiny new things for us to complain about. I haven’t had a good bug to grumble about in a while and I’m having to enjoy the sun instead. Untenable!

Side note: I think we’re doing exercise wrong if we let the hardware we use to quantify our exercise get in the way.

Now I’m going to eBay to look for a powder-blue Ambit3 Peak because apparently it’s an Easter egg.
