Wishlist for a future Suunto 7 firmware

[JorgeFD]

Let’s dream just a bit

My wishes

· Change alert duration on screen (unusable for me at the moment)
· ETA/ETE data fields for waypoints/route
· Push waypoint names from SA route to watch
· In route list: Show altitude profile & distance in route list view
· Show altitude profile while navigating a track in exercise mode (as S9)
· Disable or change autolap
· Integrated barometer as widget or watch field
· A simple interval training like S9
· Ghost racer using a previous activity
· New low power watchfaces

what’s yours?

· ETA/ETE data fields for waypoints/route

I have these in the map view already (just a little small numbers)

· New low power watchfaces

there are quite a lot low power watch faces out there in the play store

Fully supporting the other wishes!

Support for external HR monitor in Suunto app.

In fact, they are so small that I did not notice them when I received this firmware until my second run:)

This, coded by a Suunto employee does both of these.

@jorgefd78 buena lista Jorge, yo puse ayer otra en otro hilo. La podria poner aqui tambien. Saludos

[JorgeFD]

@Brad_Olwin mmmmmmm

@jorgefd78

Who is right?

[Brad_Olwin]

@jorgefd78 you can set the length of display independently for the tile and the widget. There is something about reference too, I cannot remember.

[JorgeFD]

@Mi_chael s9 for sure. Some web resources give 1015 for my position at the moment

[Brad_Olwin]

@jorgefd78 There is an option to auto-reference in settings

[JorgeFD]

@Brad_Olwin auto-reference gets the data from internet?

[Egika]

Auto reference gets it from GPS position afaik.
Try switching it to sea level referenced in options!

[Mi_chael]

@Egika
GPS position?
For altitude not for hpa?

[Egika]

@Mi_chael yes, for altitude reference

@Metalmi - agreed. Whilst the wrist heart rate is good for cardio activities - weights and related activities are very poor. Appreciate this will hit the battery. At this stage I use Sporttracker to pair an external HR monitor for where i know HR measurement will be poor and that syncs to Suunto app. Clearly this does not show in the S7 tiles.

Would also be good to see a few more watch faces, sleep, body battery and V02. Always on low power display during running and low power location tracking are good but the other features are core to me. I hope we see them appear soon.

I posted my list in other thread:

• autopause
• ability to setup heart rate or pace alarms
• ability to setup a time or distance targets
• in the current activity (running, etc) by default the current time is showing in top, but is small size, a lot of people use glasses, please, increas this font.
• add the heart rate in %
• ability to add more than five tiles

Bonus: if the S7 has a barometer, why not a storm alarm?

I know I know a lot things, but dreaming is free

You can already buy all of these features if they are core to you.
They are already built in Suunto 5 and Suunto 9!
I don’t know if it makes sense to wait for stuff to appear on S7 - it might not happen

@jorgefd78 I agree about the navigations features.

Without Stryd support (natively) I don’t use the watch when I run. I know battery would drain faster but I wouldn’t mind.
