What do you expect from the next update?

Ars Vitae

@Stoke80 Referring to what you wrote at the end. This is why I try to start “walking” as an additional activity. I launch it when I know that I will do at least 2 kilometers at a time moving from point A to point B. Especially when I do it quickly, rushing to the train station, for example:) After all, such moving can be counted as aerobic exercise in zone 1 (just like hiking).

@Ars-Vitae

This is what I do as well, but sometimes (or many times) I forget to start an activity.

Which leads me to another function which could be added:

Automatic detection of an activity, like the Apple Watch does.
It even takes into account the distance already covered.

Ars Vitae

@Stoke80 Not a bad feature, it would be great if you could specify yourself exactly what activity should start automatically when you start moving and after what time or distance traveled (for example, to exclude just walking around the apartment).

@Ars-Vitae

Well, tbh, that is, at least for me, hard to specify. I don’t know how Apple has solved this.
I assume it has something to do that you probably have your iPhone with you as well and the GPS it takes from there including speed etc.

However, it worked pretty well, even with my older AW 6…

When I went for a walk, it asked me after several hundred meters if I am walking and if I want to start a training.
Same thing when I took my bike to commute to work…

Not sure how it would behave for running, as there I never forgot to start an activity

Manuel Extreme

Some features / corrections:

NGP data for running pace
Notification: separate workout notification and phone notification (using acoustic notifications for workouts and only vibration for phone notifications)
sTSS: swimming pace TSS for pool swimming!!
add manual distance and time track for swimming without arms
advanced running metrics data (vertical oscillation, pace length, ground contact pace, etc)
advanced sleep monitoring (REM, awakenings, phases, etc)
add other data faces in “custom sport” nd/or possibility modify sport “base” in the watch
adding count of “floor climbed” to step count
adding 3-part integration with myfitnesspal or fat secret for calculating calories
improve the sensibility of data on watch face and add data can be display like TSS + CTL + HR + CAL + Time
add some time alarm during activities like eat, drink, custom, etc.

Thank you for reading
Manuel

@Ars-Vitae I have the opposite problem, when I forget to stop the activity. Then the way back with my car is part of an hiking activity
Would be great if the app has a function to trim activities afterwards.

Ars Vitae

@mabe2k Very good point, indeed, in this case I have a similar problem, I also often forget. It would be great, as you write, if, based on the speed and unconventional movements (on foot) at the parking spot, the activity algorithm would propose to terminate the workout just at that spot.

I would love to have an alarm/ notification when I’m running in the ‘wrong’ zone. Not just one, when I enter it, but a repetitive notification that bugs me to slow down/ speed up.

LitchiMonster

@wakarimasen This is possible though (outside of structured intervals), when starting an exercise, choose: > Exercise options > Intensity Zones > HR zones (example) > set target zone > Zone 2
Now exit the menus, and start your exercise. When entering the zone you’ll get a beep, and when leaving the zone it the watch will either beep telling you to speed up or slow down. The HR zones can also be defined here if you want. Works well for me to remind me to stay in Zone 2!

wakarimasen

@LitchiMonster Thanks! I’ve tried this before, but I was thinking more of a structured session: warmup in zone 2/ interval on zone 4/ recovery on zone 3 etc…

This appears to be not so easy with my S9PP

Manuel Extreme

possible bug?
in “tapis roulant” mode the power data field remains empty.
Using “run” with gps=off, power data field, pace, distance are “correctly” displayed

other expected feature:
count steps correctly

Iggge

Anyone with insight that can tell me if devs are going to do something about the step counter?

Did a smal hike today with my daughter. My Vertical did count about 40-50% of the actual steps.

Did count 100 steps and my Vertical counted 20 of those steps… soo yeah.

Since the update i haven’t won a single “step competition” with my wife when using my Suunto

fanchGr

@mase be2k use intervals.icu…

I wish the same screen when I use Suunto workout builder… Suunto application is easier…

indipd

is this thread relevant for next updates as well? Should one post here suggestions for the next one?

Would reeally appreciate more watch faces with more use of the accent colours, maybe 3rd party watch faces down the line! I dream of a day where we can add more than 3 complications on the watch face!

Another feature would be more granular control for tones (eg. Only allowed for certain notifications, or only for workouts).

Manuel Extreme

Possibility to open watch face during activity by long press up & down buttons and return to current activity by pressing up button
long alarm sound (not only beep for last 5 seconds) for countdown. possibility to define recursive (no-stop) countdown, useful for EMOM workouts

What I would like is the ability to create a watch face for, e.g., running, containing one data field only in large characters so it is readable without wearing glasses when running! The current software allows a minimum of three data fields only. I’m sorry to say Garmin is better in respect of customising displays for activities.

There is the Big Numbers S+ app for that. Have you checked it?

I use it sometimes, but as you well know, Big Numbers doesn’t solve the problem completely. I understand what @GKnoll means and I think most of us do too.

And the problem seems to be getting worse, in my opinion, because with each new feature, the data becomes more and more ridiculously small.

There are many things that Suunto does well, but, at the moment, taking care of the legibility of the fonts does not seem to be among the first priorities.
