      Garmin just released the next big update for the FR945, where they bring community requested features and bugfixes. Just after a month since the last release. Coming from suunto, that feels almost impossible.
      It’s hard to see that there still is nothing new for the Spartans… 😕

        @BobMiles comparing the 945 to the Spartans is not fair, 945 is the current Forerunner flagship, Spartans are not Suunto flagship anymore. Better example would be the 935 that also just got an update itself, all bugfixes, but still it got something.

                      @isazi And continuing with that comparison to the 935, the Spartans (at least the ones with built-in HR) DID get a bug fix update just a month and a half ago.

                        The last full update (2.8.24) for the SUUNTO SPARTAN TRAINER WRIST HR was in June 2019. (I have no idea what the 2.8.28 fixes, nor does Suunto give a date or release notes on that one) .

                                IMO, I saw no WHR improvements, but YMMV.

                                I probably should have said no “detailed”: release notes, like with previous releases.

                                    Do you think Spartan watches will have an update before Christmas 2019? I heard Santa Claus live in the north of Finland!!

                                      @Matthew-Curtiss the update was also for the S line, and I didn’t notice anything wrong with it.

                                        @isazi yeah me neither, but it it also didn’t improve anything for me. OHR stayed in the miserable state it was in before. It is rather an optical cadence sensor 😉

                                          @BobMiles I don’t use OHR for running, just for all day measurement, and for hiking/walking/mountaineering activities.

                                            @jsr184 I’ve just bought a Polar H10 HR strap so it would make sense to switch brands now, but only in light of all of this.

                                            I was satisfied with the performance of my SSWHRB over the last nearly 2 years, and I do like the simplicity of the software in the watch.

                                            However, if the watch has been abandoned, I won’t kick and scream, I’ll just vote with my feet and go to a competitor which is why I’m looking seriously at Polar for my next sports watch. If every spartan user did the same, it would send a message that contempt will not be tolerated from any company! I’m perfectly prepared to fire that shot! The timing just depends how long it takes before my watch begins to underperform without updates?
