Something new is coming

@Egika Right, my wife still use my old Ambit 2S, and she is happy

@Egika That really was just the bugfix though, wasn’t it? Not an actual update offering improved or enlarged functionality.

@Egika Thank you - sorry I missed it. This makes sense. I’m prolly gonna try the climb feature here in a min and will report back.

@Egika thank you suunto for that we are allowed to live with the correct date

Yes please, I’ll do tomorrow.

@t1sugar said in Software update 2.12.30 Staged Release for S3/S5/S9:

@isazi agree i do like the time to sunset, i am just waiting to see if a baro trend line appears (fingers crossed).

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in Software update 2.12.30 Staged Release for S3/S5/S9:

@t1sugar it will. It needs at least 3 hours. Also the timewindow (colored) moves

I see the devs moved on my feedback to the leaked pix. Very quickly. Possibly using a time machine to a point some weeks before I made my post. Nevertheless, where’s my money?

@Fenr1r I had told it …

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Of course! Exactly what you’d say if you’d recognised a couple of splendid ideas and were refueling your DeLorean.

Here’s the Strava link to my run using the new Climb SuuntoPlus screen. The implementation is nice.

https://www.strava.com/activities/4025522993/laps

Constructive criticism.

Ideally laps would be marked retroactively. It appears there must be a change/delta of 10m either up or down before a lap is marked. It would be much better if the watch could mark the lap at the point where the elevation first started to rise or fall rather that after the 10 m delta.
The lap summary screen shows lap heart rate and pace. I think it makes more sense to replace one of these with elevation / ascent like you get with the lap summaries for trail running.

Thanks!

@fazel Just curious… is it like an “automatic interval”? just waiting to see some videos on youtube!!!

JonasJkp

@Egika but they hangs and freezes after the last update. I also thought they where built to last, but it doesn’t help if the software isn’t working.

fazel

@suzzlo sort of, I think the idea is the watch is able to mark laps automatically based on elevation changes (SuuntoPlus: Climb), location (SuuntoPlus: Loop), and changes in intensity (SuuntoPlus: Sprint). It sounds like the first lap has to be marked manually with the Loop function, then the watch automatically marks a lap every time you come back to that point. For the Climb function, a new lap is marked every time elevation has changed by 10 m in either direction. The sprint screen marks laps at changes in intensity of 25% or more (either power or pace). You can only run one of these screens at a time.

Tried the loop lap today, seems to work pretty well. I was doing easy loops in a park.

@suzzlo @fazel is correct, see my post on the Software update page. Complex intervals are recorded automatically. If you are doing a relatively flat interval set using either Pace or Power(Stryd) an automatic lap is triggered 15 min after the start or with the lap button if prior to 15 min (warm up period). I used Sprint Power with Stryd to do uphill intervals 3 x 0.3 mi uphill (~.5k) with 1 min rest in between for 3 repeated sets. The hill I was using was only 1 mile up so in between each set I had to run downhill rest a minute and start. I pressed the lap button once at ~14 min to start and did not touch the lap button again. Autolaps off. https://app.suunto.com/move/bradleyolwin/5f5103d3517e743206d55d6e/
Just saw this does not show manual laps so see screenshot here https://forum.suunto.com/topic/5087/software-update-2-12-30-staged-release-for-s3-s5-s9/34?page=2

Does anyone has a picture that shows how waypoint names are shown during navigation?

JorgeFD

@sky-runner you can only see the type of waypoint. If you give your own name, it is ignored

@jorgefd78
is it a S9 ?
Are WP names expected to appear in S7 as well ?

JorgeFD

@Mff73 it’s a s7!!

sky-runner

@jorgefd78 Thanks! The reason I asked is because waypoint names is mentioned in the update details above. So supposedly that is a new feature.

Mff73

@sky-runner
But are WP names implemented on new S9 FW only or S7 also ? I have none of them, just i am not sure to have read it for S7.
