S9 Baro Wishlist

stromdiddily

Multiple alarms (weekday vs single, etc)
Tones profiles by activity, alarm, notifications
Configurable watch mode data screens (don’t use sleep, let me remove it completely)
Gesture based backlight functionality (stillllllll)
More watch faces

Edit: so basically the same list as I posted originally

Fenr1r

@TELE-HO Not so much a button for syncing: a button (rather than menu steps) for BT power. I think @Durri might have meant latching the BT toggle to a button: useful if the user’s choice is to leave BT off except for a fast On-Sync-Off. I could be wrong.

@Fenr1r
could be done by DND?

Fenr1r

@TELE-HO Quite possibly. Never used DND: is turning off BT all it does? Is it a single button press thing or fewer menu steps than toggling Connectivity?

freeheeler

@Fenr1r
I haven’t used DND as I don’t have notifications switched on… I think it’s just a muting of notifications but for me it could also cut the BT connection.
On the other hand I don’t see the disadvantage of having BT always ready to connect. It’s not permanent and a low consumption type of BT connection

Fenr1r

@TELE-HO Good points. BT is, however, on the list of things to turn off (or minimise, where appropriate) if you want to maximise battery life. In many exchanges with Suunto support on how to get my SSU to approach its advertised specs, it was always near the top of their checklist. (They were very insistent - no matter how many times I told them I’d done it.)

@silentvoyager said in S9 Baro Wishlist:

My wishlist would include:

A dedicated waypoint navigation screen like in Ambit3 with waypoint name, bearing, distance on route, ETE, etc

Dedicated button for backlight (e.g. ability to customize the lower button that I almost never use for laps)

Navigation zoom available in locked mode

Zoom (changing scale) for custom graphs while in exercise

Ability to activate/deactivate the breadcrumbs screen - don’t want to have to scroll through it during 90% of my activities.

Adjustable watch face timeout in non-activity mode (e.g. I want to be able to observe altitude or HR outside of exercise without the watch switching back to watchface after one minute).

Easily accessible recovery time graph on watch (like in Ambit3, not buried too deep in the menu).

Vo2max estimate on watch.

Allow more than 3 screens in custom sport mode.

Everything that I mentioned before still applies, except Vo2Max.

I would also very like something like Garmin’s ClimbPro.

this looks like a garmin app

Durri

@TELE-HO yes, i mean quick turn on Bluetooth instead of stepping through the menu.

there are now 2 active firmware wishlists for S9B… I did not expect this one to be active, that’s why I’ve created a new list that kind of there to list what’s not there yet… like a summary… as it says

https://forum.suunto.com/topic/3473/future-s9-firmware-wishlist-summary/49

Durri

Possibility to switch clock display to invert mode.

@Durri I vote also for SSSWHR Baro as watch faces are the same. Some kind of a light theme for watch face would be nice. It will draw more battery, but I see better without glasses on positive watch face as contrast is better for me.White color sends more light to eyes so pupils contract and then you see better

Neal Markham

@Bulkan Second that. It was key in my Ambit 3 days. And super helpful in new cities. Please Suunto.

Yes, because that literally is a screenshot of Garmin ClimbPro. But I’d like to have something similar on Suunto 9.

However I think the main issue is that there is no good way to switch between alternative displays without having to scroll through all of them. On Ambit there is View button for that, but on Suunto 9 there are no available buttons - out only 3 buttons two buttons are always reserved for rarely needed actions.

@silentvoyager
I wanted to point out that garmin has apps
and Suunto not anylonger…

@TELE-HO Because Garmin is a smartwatch. And Suunto 9 is less “smart watch” than Ambit. It is trying its best to be a fitness tracker though.

freeheeler

@silentvoyager
I remember that I looked into the programming of garmin apps and noticed that it was waaaay to difficult for me… but something like this could be added for S-line watches in my opinion…
we’ve got some smart guys in this forum

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@silentvoyager lol really?

@Fenr1r
now since I’m trying to reach the miraculous 0.25%/h battery consumption and therefore have switched off everything incl BT by activating flight mode I absolutely understand your sync button request.
I don’t use an active BT connection at all and rather “waste” battery capacity for 24/7 HR than frequent sync triggered by aproaching watch to phone… I use sync once before an activity for the agps update and once after an activity for uploading.

when I recall the middle-age when I owned a Fenix 3, I remember that I pressed a button to sync thru wifi at home… (the BT device in the watch was somehow damaged and BT to phone took like half a night to sync)

freeheeler

while I’m thinking about a sync button it would be nice to have a shortcut button that opens up a customizable shortcut list.
one needs quick access to dnd, watch faces and light settings… another one prefers to toggle touch activation, alarm clock and flightmode…
