Temperature Loggin works randomly for swimming mode. Sports mode logging keeps changing without warning.

@David-Vella You can revert to an old firmware version: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/6836/firmware-collection/29

@David-Vella you don’t have any insights into priorities or whatsoever, nor about the size of the company or the development team. This is a bug, from the reports I read (I don’t like swimming) it’s already fixed, and the new firmware release is coming soon. Said release contain this fix. In recent years Suunto provided one release per quarter (or season), but for reasons I do not know this year they could not keep the pace, so Summer release never materialized and we need to wait for Fall release.

@el2thek Nice one thanks. I’ll check that out. If that’s the case, this is the most helpful comment on this thread!

@isazi If you release SW with a bug in it which affects one of the key features of your product to such an extent, you then release a fix asap. You don’t wait for the next release which will also be late. If you don’t, then its quite clearly not high enough on your priorities. These are basics.
I did not bring up company size I was just responding that the company size argument is BS.
I wonder what other unexpected ‘features’ we are going to get with the next release!
I stand by my other comments about the degrading performance of Suunto products relative to the competition, the growing disgruntlement amongst their customer base, and that they are evidently doing nothing to fix that.

interesting answer, I can not add any more comments at that point -
An update:
Using the Suunto Plus Weather insight has done exactly zilch to improve my experience.
The watch now decided to restart itself half way through the swim and not only do I not have temperature logged, but pretty much nothing else either, apart for time and heart rate for the duration of the part of the exercise which it logged.
Not even distance/number of laps etc…
Is the overdue SW update anywhere in sight? Or is it worth me going back to the previous release?

What would you swap with?
Polar Grit X looks like a strong contender to me.
I bought a Grit X Pro and ended up using it for a few months before switching back to my S9B. It was a nice looking watch but there were too many things that irked me such as the screen being smaller/numbers are really hard to read whilst training, it can’t be charged during an activity, no dedicated forum like this one and a few other things. I reviewed it on here so if you were seriously considering the Grit X or Grit X Pro it could be worth a read

@MiniForklift it’s funny that suunto forum slowly becomes a reason to buy suunto watches XD

@DMytro
I don’t like forums in general. this one is the very only exception, and I really appreciate it!!
there’s a lot to like about it

@DMytro the reason for this is Shills.
