@miniforklift said in Future S9 firmware wishlist summary:

It’s possibly already been mentioned but it would be good to see the elevation gain go up a metre/foot at a time. Lag aside it would feel closer to ascending in real time, rather than having it jump up in 3 or 4m increments

Can’t imagine it would be too hard to implement as it already goes up a metre at a time in SuuntoPlus Climb

does the new Sunnto+ vario (xalps…) could solve this for you ?

@Brad_Olwin thanks this is helpful. its a bit hard to find some of the more elevation oriented information on a variety of devices online…not very many of the user guides or forums or reviews really address it specifically enough, though this one is probably by far the best and most thorough place!

@freeheeler thank you!

@stromdiddily
Did you watch the video of it? Mainly focuses on Kaytlyn’s FKT attempt but has a chunk in the middle of it that shows Dylan’s attempt. Pretty cool video all in all 👍

SUMMER OF WONDER - Director’s Cut

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I’ll copy it there also. Thanks for help!

The suunto 9 BARO as it is called now seems to be a very good sports watch but it is not perfect. I recently spoke to the guy who wrote this suunto 9 Baro review and he was telling me that he loved it but he is still unconvinced with the apps. He loved the extended battery life and metrics. I am toying between buying this one of a Garmin 6X Pro. Lening more towards the suunto as I have an ambit 3 already and the 9 Baro looks like a solid watch all-round.

@sky-runner yeah but adding all the changes even on QS that does not use those filters A3 has way more

@cosmecosta yeah the software is up to date. Last time it was checked was 5 days ago when doing the factory reset on the phone with them

Track looks quite OK

@ink357 can you share a link of the one you bought?

@isazi Thanx.

@isazi maybe… O.K… tnx for your time and anwsers… 👍

this is from a cycling activity wearing a merino shirt of cigarclothing.
On the spikey HR activity I was running with a plastic shirt from https://www.cigarclothing.co/… same today: plastic shirt and spikey HR graph…

The graphs show good results about the shirt.

Check BeiDou now

@Stefan-Kersting said in Suunto 9 Baro quick discharge problem:

@Brad_Olwin the standby time is estimated to 60% or did you measure it? so with all functions on and a little bit of training the battery lasts just 2,5 days per charge 🧐?

Turn off sleep tracking, daily HR (this is the battery eater) and the backlight off and you will get your 8-10 days with around 4-6h performance GPS. Besides the battery meter is not proportional, I mean depending on the % you are seems the discharge is faster and then slows down, this I have seen it in a lot of devices with batteries. I would also wait a few charge-discharge cycles before take any conclusions.

This is true, I had everything on and did a few exercises. The 24/7HR, continuous connection to mobile and sleep tracking take some toll on the battery. Without those or with just mobile connection the watch will go much longer.

@bnorthrop
Understood.
So, just also be aware when MC will be definitely transitioned, you may also not be able to create a new custom triathlon mode for your Spartan.
Future MC will only remain watch setting capabilities for Ambit series and not for Spartan (at least I understand that).

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos when the problem happened to me, even if not identical but similar to the one discussed in this topic, I was using the sensor on the wrist of the S9, for the HR

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in S9 barometer problems:

So your garmin overregisters ascent. Take this with a grain of salt but I live in NL. If I apply the same philosophy at some flats I ll be ascenting like 100+ meters that is not realistic. -+1m changes should not be reported as they do not really contribute to any effort the user should take into account for his performance lever nor data wise. That is counting noise basically.

I wrote something similar just days ago 🙂
And yes, my Edge registers hundreds of meters of ascent in Amsterdam, that gladly Runalyze fixes on its own.

@Andrew-Chau said in Suunto 9 Firmware Update Suggestions:

It’s probably just me and my lack of patience

It’s not just you. And it hasn’t always been the case at Suunto.

The main Ambit menu is looped and customisable to the extent that you can hide un-wanted functions. Either, both or full customisation would be nice in a more advanced watch. Perhaps just the option to reorder the list.

[Mountain/molehill Mode ON] It’s a long, slow slog from Settings to Environment or annoying to go back in order to go forward. [Mountain/molehill Mode OFF] [… Still a bloody mole problem, tho’.]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos serious? Well in smartphones sometimes you have issues in seeing so is logic what you say, yes.

Yup. I just hate amoleds. Even cannot see my smartphone.

I run with the s7 in Greece with polarized glasses, couldn’t see a thing.

I have the same issue with my smartphone. That’s why the angle of the plane of polarization in LCDs matter. All LCDs should have it at 45° in smartphones and 90° in watch displays. How is it angled in the S7?

@bulkan said in Saving exercise....:

@frederic Hello, what chest strap are you using?

None and no OHR either

@mike-p

Moving my bike onto a turbo trainer for winter I had to realise that the Suunto S9 is actually a big step back from my Ambit 2!

I reactivated my old ANT pods as well as my Ambit 2 and I am fine now again.

For example, S9 can only pair ONE bike pod, either Speed or Cadence or one combined Speed and Cadence pod. Those work with magnets, how 80s is that?

My Ambit 2 can pair THREE bike pods AND THREE Cadence pods! See photo.

I read else where that folks struggle in case they have several bikes and maybe a turbo trainer.

please Suunto, start considering your core constituency: Replacing Luck!

@marvelmike said in [DONE] Selling S9 bought Garmin Fenix 5x:

S9 is a complicated sports watch and a poor smart watch.

I agree and disagree. As a sports watch it’s far less complicated than a Fenix as it does so much less (which is obviously both a good and bad thing and all depends on the user’s desires). I use mine for running and walking and it does everything I need without being overly complex or data heavy. There are some things that are standard on a Fenix that I wish it had, such as a gesture-based setting to turn the light on when you raise your wrist - the number of times I’ve tried to check my watch whilst running at night and pausing it or doing other things is a pain.

On the other hand (and I know a number of users on here would disagree), I use my Suunto as my daily watch and I wish the smart features were cleverer. I would love more customisation on the watchfaces and complications; I would love to be able to see notifications but without having a preview of messages; I would love step tracking to be cleverer as it is on other watches etc etc. I would hope that whenever the Suunto 9 Gen 2 or Suunto 10 comes out it will fix many of these things - after all, despite the updates, the Suunto 9 is a few years old now.

@Richard-Thygesen since the 3rd (yesterday ) should have been ok
