      @DMytro Thanks for the feedback.
      I don’t see the point in upgrading my S9P, I will use the old firmware.

        @Stas-Varazhbit there is a ton of bug fixing, so please UPDATE your firmware next week or whenever the beta reaches production.

          @isazi I like almost everything about the current firmware. I’ve been waiting a long time for RTW to be fixed and if RTW will work as reported, I’m not happy with it. And if I don’t know what bugs have been fixed, it makes me wary.

            @isazi Unfortunately, this upgrade is really a downgrade for me when it comes to backlight of S9… I’d probably rather have bugs than this. If the current beta backlight implementation makes it to production, I will downgrade to the previous stable version 😞 I really don’t understand why this had to be changed…

            SV: fingers crossed :D
            S9 (non-baro): died after 2 months, replaced, holding strong since 03/20
            Spartan Trainer: casing broke after 23 months, repaired, lost watertightness 5 months later, died
            Despite some pretty bad luck, I still love Suunto!

              @inkognito I believe that raise-to-wake saves a ton of battery compares with always on.

                I would always update when an update is available. watches are less important, but for some devices it’s security relevant. I have the habit to update always as it doesn’t make sense to me to use outdated firmware or OS… …maybe I have tendencies to be an early-ish adapter 😉

                  @isazi unless you had neither turned on in daily mode, which was my setting.

                    @Ilya-Sul yep, nice addition, but did you notice any battery life impact? I have lost 20% during 1 day and 8 hours with 1h30m of activity only. 😬

                    Similar experience on my end on the 9PP. I lost around 20% over 14 hours (7 PM to 9 AM):

                    • Only recorded one 30 minute walk during this time, no S+ used.
                    • I have all widgets active except NOTIFICATION and ACTIVITY
                    • RTW is on, but sleep DND would have been active overnight
                    • 24/7 HR is on
                    • Sleep tracking is on with SpO2
                    • 1 alarm in the morning

                      @isazi I agree. The problems are somewhere else:

                      1. we have lost the “exercise only” option for raise to wake
                      2. Low backlight is now unnecessarily bright

                        After any FW update, battery calibration may be necessary for the gauge to be reliable. Wait a full discharge/recharge first I would say.

                          I’m S9P user, and I have updated, just because I love to test new things.
                          Unfortunately I haven’t find anything new except wake on raise that is working fine for me and small UI changes (font?, darker colors, more contrast…) I was expecting something more, like guide alerts…

                          Anyway, no problem with the beta 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

                          @isazi do you know which bugs are corrected in the beta FW?

                              Thanks! I’ll recalibrate and try again. I’m planning on using it well for a few more days before I fill the survey.

                                Apparently this update has decalibrated my battery a little. When I started activity, it said I have 6h worth of charge, after 20m I finished. Next time I looked at my watch, within 10m, it showed empty battery screen.
                                I could be wrong about battery estimate tho, so if it’s the only occurrence, you may as well ignore my comment.

                                    The good: The FW update worked without a flaw.
                                    The not so good: i tried to see how the Strava segments would work. But since the update, I don’t have any Guides on the watch, nor I have any “Sport apps”. The SA claims that the sport apps are installed, but the watch says “None”. i stared three segments in Strava, one of them initially showed up in Guides, but even if i Pinned it, it did not synch to the watch (and SA said “not in the watch”). The guide on how to enable Strava segments suggests to unlink the Strava and link it back. Unlinking works, but linking it back does not (when i press the “Authorise” button, another tab is open with “Connect to Strava” button).
                                    Are there any ideas on how to sort this out?

                                    Edit on Sport Apps - they did sync to the watch, eventually. Btw. selecting the Sport App in the watch is not obvious - the tiny down arrow is hardly visible. Is this new or it was like that for a while (obviously, i haven’t been using Sports Apps for a while).

                                            Someone mentioned before that with the new FW, the Sports App selection is remembered (or could be saved with the Sports Mode (?)). I don’t see it working.
