I dream that Suunto will overcome this general mediocrity and disregard of its loyal users

I think Suunto is doing well considering the resources it owns

[gizmo]

@cjanevate
I don’t deny that. It’s just a pity that we have to wait a few months for the update and get some unimportant function, a few pathetic watch faces and the most important bugs that haven’t been fixed.

[Elipsus]

@gizmo more technologically advanced in what regard ?

Probably the right balance for them to cope with all with the resources it owns as said.
There are neither winners nor losers in the end, just our choices so love or “hate” it.

@gizmo Come on! these 3 aspects?

WHR : You want accuracy, you need to use a band in any brand, any. In my case S9B WHR was really bad in the SV is perfectly usable.
GPS: With SR and SV, simply this is not true. Besides remeber that Suunto does not smooth the track in the app, like other brands do.
Sleep Tracking: In the SV is spot on.

I already had a dozen Garmin watches and the same number of Suunto, Coros and Polar.

An this means, what? A part that you have a lot of money to spend. Please, give us the numbers where you demonstrate that one is more accurate that the other.

[sartoric]

Please stay IT, let’s not start THE debate … again

Mine was just a joke about the “contradiction”

[isazi]

@Dušan-Ković do you have always on enabled or disabled? I believe that this sets the behavior for the watch.

[Todd Danielczyk]

@sartoric oh the contradictions… I swear I wish I could run a tally for every has to be like! Has to be different! Message out there.

If Suunto took every suggestion to heart

But alas I enjoy the outdoors and my Suunto… I rather do some exploring instead. Especially with that new ruler on the maps (that was a pleasant find!). Nice job Suunto

[Dušan Ković]

@ppresing Thank you for testing this. This was not behaviour on the previous FW. It is a Bug definitely, because performance mode has Always on display in options.

No, it is turned off in the watch options, I only have simple raise to wake, than it shows just simple data, not full watch face.
Performance mode should keep the display Always on, as it is defined in its options.

[isazi]

@Dušan-Ković yes it changed and now activity uses the same mode as daily mode for the Race, to avoid burn-in and increase battery life. I am with you in thinking that the behavior in daily mode and during activity should be two separate things.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

Ahhh, another “new firmware” post and another “Garmin does it better”. This never gets boring, does it?

Garmin doesn’t do it better, but Suunto does it just as bad…
Garmin won’t change that, but I believe Suunto can.

[Tieutieu]

I was fully satisfied with my SV before update.
Nothing changed after : It’s still an awesome outdoor watch, and even better.
UI optimisations are great, and bugs corrections are here (nothing was heartkilling but I’m glad that 1day CTL/TSS is corrected, also daily goals notifications…). I don’t care if it could have been earlier, it’s there.
After 2 days with new FW, I also have the feeling that battery consumption has been slightly optimized a bit more.
No bugs so far.

Watchfaces ? Well I don’t need a F16 cockpit at my wrist
And I love the one introduced with the race.

My hopes for next updates :

• rep counter / upgrade of native structured workout guides (I miss that a lot !)
• climb upgrades (but considering what we’ve seen on SA beta app and last survey, I’m pretty confident that something will come sometime)

[Dušan Ković]

@isazi @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos ffs… So now I have to activate AoD before exercises if I don’t want my screen to turn off? And there is no custom battery mode to customize stuff like on every other suunto. Who the hell in suunto hq said yes to this??? Literally fire this person. When you open battery modes, you literally have always on dislplay ENABLED, and it doesn’t work like in battery mode? This doesn’t make any sanse.

[Frédéric Fiandino]

@Dušan-Ković

I totally share your opinion and it’s the same for the backlighting.

It’s never been like this in any watch since the Spartan.

go back or allow us to downgrade the firmware.

Personally I don’t want that and when I bought the watch, it didn’t work like that!

[isazi]

@Dušan-Ković I already told you that I agree with you, so no reason to yell at me.

[9ppuser]

Overall, I am very satisfied with the update. The software runs smoother and faster (9pp user), the connection to the app is also better and the bug regarding heart rate measurement always on has been fixed.

The de/activation of flight mode in the control panel (shotcut via widget) still does not work - it is displayed as on/off but has no function. You have to turn it actively in the control panel, but overall a minor problem.

Thanks to the suunto team!

[isazi]

@9ppuser I am reporting the issue with airplane mode.

“Reminder to resume/end activity during pause at abnormal speed”

Is there a spec about this? Does it meen the activity needs to be on pause? What is abnormal speed.
Would be great to if there will be an update to the documentation if there isn’t already one.

If it only works at pause, it is only partially usefull. I sometimes press the pause button and forget to turn of pause later on, missed some strava koms already that way.
It would be great if it would also send an reminder when you get in your car after a long walk forgetting to stop an activity. Does it do that too?

[Brad_Olwin]

@Ecki-D It will work only on pause so if you pause and forget to end or forget to start again you will have a reminder. It will remind you when you get in the car as long as you paused prior to changing shoes or getting in your car.
