Spartan update complains

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in Spartan update complains:

resources is an ephemeral data such as altitude or pressure or temperature. There is no need to have that written in app history as it provides no value afaik

Perhaps you want to say “…I see no need to…”? because for me, it could be good to analyze my body resources of the last month, or recovery or whatever…

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@suzzlo I suppose you are correct.

Let’s see if Suunto has some November Santa gift (FW+SA) for Spartan users…

Thank Universe i bought Ambit3 instead SSU a month ago. Saved me this stress for less money, and A3 works like a charm.

Wishing on a star, too. Since day one of the Spartan release, by the way…

@borgelkranz same here, got the Spartan for premium high price in August 2016.

I still have my spartan ultra copper edition

After reading through multiple forums, I have the impression that Suunto will not be supporting swim functions beyond basic lap swimming - is that a fair perception? It seems that the majority of all comments have to do with land-based activity updates, and hardly anyone makes any comments about swimming. The Ambit 3 was the last watch to have real swim functionality.

@suzzlo Primarily no FB features for Spartans as the majority need 24/7 HR and that is not possible with the Spartans.

@zhang965 That is a nice watch…my favorite color, I almost purchased one.

suzzlo

@Brad_Olwin ? I have 24/7 HR in my Spartan. Perhaps something related to RR?

hi, can you explain this ?
There are SSUs without OHRs and SSSs / SSTs with OHRs

@Frédéric-Fiandino
why do you need any explain ? i don’t get it

Sad thing here is that all this is just another industry/marketing(let people talk and hope about our product) hype bullshit.
Like they could just announce that this long awaited update will be only for S3-9. And that SSU update will come latter, if it comes at all, (but it has to come if they want keep selling anything in the future).

I could easily fall for this, and “knowing” that update is coming in October go ahead and buy SSU for 450 euro. But something stank during my research, and i went for A3 Peak for 266 euro. And btw A3 was built in 2019. while SSU in 2016. or 2017.

Be honest, listen to your customers, give them legit announcements regarding new products/product updates. And i bet in return you get far more respect and loyalty from your customers/clients then this secretsy bullshit.

But they will not, because this is all just hyper-production, hyper-marketing, hyper-money making age we live in.

Brad_Olwin

@suzzlo Yep the WHR models do have 24/7 and OHR, it is a good question and could potentially be hardware dependent.

Brad_Olwin

@Frédéric-Fiandino My bad!

@mraka I stated this in a prior post but the Spartan development was much more significant than the S series, I bought an Ultra when it was released and it is nothing near the watch you have now. Similar complaints were made with the Ambit series upgrades, which I also owned. I think Suunto did an amazing job with Spartan development.

Frédéric Fiandino

@zhang965 What do not you understand ?
Perhaps Brad had technical information explaining the impossibility of implementing features FB on the all Spartan series

I didn’t say SSU is not a good watch, and that it didn’t get updates. Just people are waiting for more much needed (as i read) updates, and i am sure that those are coming, but tell people what is coming and what is not coming in next update. Make honest kind of connection with customers…

Honestly, i prefer SSU over S. But it is just not there yet. Specially for that amount of money, that is my opinion.

@mraka Re: your earlier post

No disagreement on your wider points of tech business but are you sure you have not fallen into the same trap you describe? Full A3PS integration into SA is a similar ambition/hint/aspiration (“hype bullshit”) rather than promise. Older models may get less and less connectable as the app develops and MC(web)'s continuation becomes a lost dream.
