@TELE-HO I’ll fight for this and you till I get fired

nooo buddy, that’s too much of sacrifice

@TELE-HO

Dude! That “fight for … you” pledge is gold! Ask for more! A pony! I’ll throw you a few Euros for some Spartan stuff (don’t say it came from me, obviously).

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Fenr1r with all honesty I have also been asking for the button lock since 2016. Come on SUUNTO on this!

Certainly, my son, let me just put aside this classified roadmap for the moment and … hang on …

4 years is a long time (3 major sportswatch types, for instance). Are you a lone voice in the wilderness on this? Is there a “Buttons should always be free” mafia at Suunto? Do they have sound technical/financial/religious reasons for not implementing the feature?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Fenr1r I suppose there are things called “hygiene” eg button lock, sport mode order remembering after FW update etc. Maybe that belongs there

Just out of curiosity…
Why a Suunto Plus screen for baro trend (which I have to enable before the start of every(!) activity) instead of an extra graph option in the already existing graph display?

Not just baro trend, the screen will show %O2 when above 2000m and if a route is enabled will show ETA as well as sunset or sunrise time. So, it does save a lot of other fields and I have been using this screen with stock sport modes as I like having ETA and sunset time available.

I noticed one thing: the ghost notifications are gone, at least today, all were cleared as expected…anyone catches that as well?

[zvonejan]

I tried this new suunto plus climb. Watch created new additional laps, I do not understand . In yellow are not my laps but laps created by climb. Is there any detailed manuals and information about this functionality?

[surfboomerang]

@markytarky
Yes! Tested it and indeed no ghost notifications for now

[Brad_Olwin]

@zvonejan SuuntoPlus Climb will add laps for ~10m of climbing up so if you climb 10m then level or down when you climb another 10 will lap again. If climb is sustained only one lap. If you have auto laps set you will get laps from Climb and Autolaps. This is the same for Loop and Sprint, both will lap when you Loop or when your Sprint hits a Pace/Power increase after a 15 min warmup.

[zvonejan]

This is not autolaps but manual laps, but is is not important. Can you explain for example 8 lap.with 3 m descent only. Best thing should be to turn off manual laps and autolaps to see, how suunto will create laps

This update brings new features, quality enhancements as well as some bug fixes

• Compass can be selected during sport mode from Navigation​ (s9 only)

How? Can’t find it in the navigation screen during an activity. I do have the options POI, Route, Bearing and Breadcrumb, but no Compass

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@surfboomerang I ll check. Maybe I did a mistake on copy.

[Efejota]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos better to have a solution before cold arrives for @TELE-HO
May I ask the same for my personal obsession with POIs? In my case, the starting of the gloves season is not a problem

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@zvonejan your laps look ok.

About lap 8 its the lap containing the info until your next climb

+++ Sprint Running Pace SuuntoPlus add-on (auto-intervals) +++

First thoughts (+)

1. Pratical
2. Logical
3. useful
   4.summary is very useful after each split

Doubts:

1. Warm-up is predefined with 10 min?

Limitations (-)
1.For works better stryd is a must because it’s more responsive to fast move and slow move. GNSS presents a delay, what is normal.
2. Would be better to save this add-on or another as predefined.

Veredict:
Very satisfied!

[Brad_Olwin]

@Luís-Pinto Warmup is predefined at 10 min but prior to 10 min you can start SuuntoPlus Sprint with lap button. If after 15 min it will record the 1st lap with incorrect data but then once you start sprinting it should be fine. On flat ground pace works well, if on hills Stryd is a better choice.
