      @Mi_chael said in Spartan update complains:

      I think, the best choice for Suunto is to add SuuntoPlus to the Spartan line.

      Perfect idea, but this is YOUR ideja, not of Suunto. My idea is to put new feature on Ambit 2 line also 😉 I have owned all Suunto watches from 2012. These are the facts: Two years for improvement, another year for bugs fixes… for all watches…Period. Maybe some critical bug after 3 years, like date or something like that…Spartan is from 2016 so calculate

        The grass is not greener with Garmin or Polar.
        I’m owner of 945 and Vantage V. And for me Suunto has better hardware.

          @Mi_chael in terms o hardware Suunto 9 > Vantage.
          GPS accuracy also S9>Vantage.
          When it comes to software, it is difficult for me to compare them because despite the similarity, they are two different products for two different customers.

            Yes, you’re right.
            Polar has more features for training and recovery analysis.

              @Mi_chael these features really work for me, they are very good.

                @Mi_chael I would agree that Suunto has better hardware (from what I’ve read, never owned the others), but that’s a moot point if the software can’t do what you need it to - makes an expensive paperweight.

                    An update is coming for the S.
                    Increase the distance with the S Series.
                    Any alms for the Spartans?
                    For example: Solve the problem of intervals (when there are several blocks they are not shown in the app)
                    😬

                          SSU only exists to Suunto make money from those for sale.
                          as for updates, it is completely set aside

                          very very badly Suunto

                                  Just moved from Suunto some months ago. I’m here to check if Suunto has a new release. Done.

                                    I sold my Spartan ultra yesterday.

                                    For me, it’s how the story ends

                                      Since I bought the Spartan, I only saw features being taken away from it (calendar, POI, …). I’m outraged and dissapointed in the decission Suunto is taken. I still believe they have great hardware, but the software is cripling it. Even now they’re deciding to go “mainstream” with a crowd having lower demands, they won’t accept unfinished/underdevelopped software on a brand new watch.

                                      In short, I bought a garmin watch for my girlfriends birthday. Chances are I’ll be making the switch in the future. That’s the result of not supporting my older Suunto Ambit 3S, killing movescount (not replacing it) and downgrading my new Suunto spartan sport whr.

                                        We’re again some time further. Now I’m going on a trip and need to enter POI in middle of the woods with coordinates. It’s not possible…
                                        Still no POI, training plan, … features that it had are now gone.

                                        Fool me once… next one will not be a suunto anymore.

                                          @Droro The Spartan is crying for a watch face that can display the barometric pressure or at least Bro trend for the last 12 hours. Let’s make some noise 😉

                                            Not to make you sad, but it’s very probable (almost sure) that the Spartans won’t receive any new FW feature in the future
