Ability to fast-forward/rewind within offline MP3 tracks (audiobook use case)
-
Hello Suunto team and community,
I recently bought a Suunto Run with one very specific use case in mind: listening to audiobooks in offline MP3 mode while running. For me, this was a decisive factor in choosing the watch.
However, I quickly realized that the music player only allows play/pause, next/previous track and volume control. There is no way to fast-forward or rewind within a single track. This is very limiting, especially for audiobooks where one track can easily last 30 minutes or more.
Without the ability to skip forward/backward inside a track, it’s really inconvenient: if I miss a part or want to continue where I left off, I have to restart the whole track from the beginning.
I’d really love to know if Suunto is planning to add this feature in a future update. Being able to jump forward/backward (even in small increments like 15, 30, or 60 seconds) would make the offline MP3 player so much more useful for audiobook listeners.
Apart from this issue, I have to say that I’m really happy with the Suunto Run overall, it’s a great watch!
Thanks in advance for considering this request!
Best regards,
