@dimitrios-kanellopoulos thanks. It would be nice to have the ability to use it as a permanent screen to sport mode, but I’m sure that request is already there.

[markytarky]

@v-sacre me too, but let’s hope this will come as well…some day.

[halajos]

@isazi thanks, the update went fine.

[halajos]

SA (Android 4.51.4) doesn’t show SuuntoPlus features, just a link to the S+ feaures on Suunto web pages. The watch is S9B, just updated now.

[isazi]

@halajos restart the app.

@halajos restart the app.

Did a force stop on SA, still the same.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@halajos can you show me a screen ?

[halajos]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos sure:

[freeheeler]

with every FW update I try in watch mode to long press the lower button… but nothing happens

[halajos]

I also did a soft reset on the watch, then a forced stop on SA, finally a sync. The screenshot was taken after these steps.

@freeheeler

[halajos]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I just realized, that all S+ features had been removed from the watch

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@halajos I ll ask for you thanks

[freeheeler]

@egika
I am not very demanding in my requests and they are pretty basic I think… simple man = simple requests

lock function in watch mode is one of them.
The other one is to activate touch screen flipping back and forth when the watch is in activity and locked.

When I do running, I leave my watch unlocked, which is not typical for me but then I can flip left and right to see different screens. It would be good if this was possible even when the buttons are locked. Otherwize we have to press 5 times to get from alti profile to navigation screen.

I wonder if I am the only one who questions this

that is already possible

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos
I might have a wrong setup then?!

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@freeheeler just lock the screen and press middle button it will go to another screen

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@halajos can you take an STT dump ? (search here how )

The most interesting part of this update is:

You will hear from us again soon, have a great day

My guess is, that structured workouts are implemented with SuuntoPlus for third party training apps like TrainingPeaks and this will be one of the first new SuuntoPlus apps (like in the screenshot of the S5P presentation).
