@schalk-liebenberg no need to carry a piece of paper - you can also write them on your hand
I think no one here will confirm this rumor - it won’t be a rumor anymore then

Schalk Liebenberg

@egika True that, but still a pain not having it in the watch, I loved my Ambit 3S with MC it was perfect, especially for the complex routines. I now have the 9Baro and it does not compete. I missed it in my pre-buying research that it does not have the functionality. I assumed that it was there because it was there before…

Maybe a bug in the new software:

If a call comes in, the vibration ends after a short time. Before it takes as long as the call comes in.

@schalk-liebenberg I can not confirm anything as I’m not related to Suunto in any way except that I own a S9B but there has been some hints here, one very clear, pointing that in March we will have structured workouts. Besides, some product review web-pages, have also said that we will have them in early 2022.

What is not clear is how we will have them, through third party, Mobile app, etc…My guess is that will be something related to S+ because with the last update we can remove them to have more memory and according to some reviewers this will be needed for what will come.

DMytro

@cosme-costa what do you mean by reviewers, has anybody written a review on the recent update for suuntos?

cosme.costa

@dmytro Well, not really a review in the recent software, but its explanation like Joaquin’s videos pointing out that we will need the extra memory space or a review like this where points that in 2022 we will have structured intervals (review of the S9P in Spanish).

As I said before all of this is my guessing but If you check some posts someone related to Suunto also confirms that we will have SI with March update

@cosme-costa Thanks you for the valuable info.

I have experienced a bug where after turning off several S+ options and then choosing one for an activity my breadcrumb screen was locked to be a minimum of 500km radius. it would zoom out to 1000km but not closer than 500km, making it useless.

@egika
@freeheeler sure thing

It was not specifically mentioned, but was there some fixes in GPS accuracy? My settings are the same, same running track (track and field sport) and track is significantly better

Old firmware:

New firmware:

This is a smaller track only 250m with building on south side so I don’t expect perfect results. But I must say good job! I hope this was not coincidence today btw I’m using GPS + BEIDOU option.

Had no one else recognized that?

surfboomerang

@mitch9 I have this since I switched from the S9B to S9P so no change for me in the last firmware

I liked the “vibrate as long as the call comes in” a lot more though. Hopefully it’s coming back in a future firmware update

@nseslija I know that you are using the default mode, so I cannot comment on that, but in my custom mode has not changed and it works as before.

This “feature” is not good and should be changed to the old version!

freeheeler

@mitch9
or let’s have it customizable… some like long vibration, some prefer a brief vibration

surfboomerang

@freeheeler Giving people a choice is always welcome. But it is more work for a Suunto dev I suppose.
(so less time to work on a lock button)

freeheeler

@surfboomerang
you’re right… we don’t want that! hope they set priorities wisely

interesting. My S9B turns on light by moving / gesture, but doesn’t turn on display. But by pressing buttons, I can turn on display. Never had this before update and first time today…

After soft reset gone… maybe only once randomly

Update is great…

fluca

@wmichi That would be nice…
