What do you expect from the next update?

A basic scuba function like the Fenix 8. Don’t expect it, more hoping for it

I wish there was - under the swimming pool sport option - an auto-lap of the actual laps you do (like in apple watch) whether based on the distance of the pool you select (I always di 18 meteres) or on autolap you set (but the minimum distance is 100 meteres). Like apple watcn does… this because the distance swam is correct but I dont get why I have to calulate myself the actual laps I do…

@giuliosq I’ve not done much swimming with my Suunto watch but my understanding is that it works the other way round. Without GPS the watch doesn’t have much of a handle on how far you’ve travelled so it uses detection of motions that suggest you’ve turned at the end of the lap along with the pre-set length of the pool to work out the distance you’ve travelled. The ‘auto-lap’ type behaviour for swimming is more an ‘auto-set’ where it groups lengths together that it thinks have the same stroke and where you’ve not stopped for a break.

@far-blue What the poster want’s is a really simple data point that a certain category of swimmers use. For each length the watch should count upwards: ‘Lap Nr 1’, 2, 3, 4, … xx. I’ve often heard these swimmers say for example “Today I’ll do 40 laps”, or respond to a query from another person with “I’ve got 10 laps left”. They do not use metres/yards as a measuring stick while actively performing the deed. Suunto could quite easily implement it (like so many other brands have done) but for some unfathomable reason they only give us the option to count a ‘lap’ with the minimal length of 100 metres…
No extra algorithm is needed. When a push-off for the next 25 or 50 metres is detected (or 18 m as in the poster’s case), tick the ‘Lap Nr’ up!

@Inge-Nallsson thanks both (even @far-blue ) thats my very simple point, as the watch perfecelty counts the 18 meters distance (perfectly) it means the movmenet sensor does its job, then why on earth the watch is not able to calclate the laps according to the swimming pool lenght I pre-set. it’d be easy by changing the auto lap distances accoringly to the pool length (which is “the pool lenght” already an option). it’s just a very simple thing. thanks both

Tide watch!! Easy!

With more and more interesting SuuntoPlus apps coming out, some of them should be built into the main watch system - just like it started with Suunto Run.
And the current limit of 2 apps is a very poor solution.

Couldn’t agree more.

My 3 wishes:
- possibility to enable tones only during activities
- possibility to disable vibration of the scrolling wheel only
- bluetooth management (which is apparently coming, I hope)

Disabling vibration only when scrolling, and keeping it for sports/notification… I can’t believe there’s still not an option to do that… It’s important for me, especially for phone calls, so I am forced to have vibration when using crown…
