Future S9 firmware wishlist summary

Yes I can confirm it’s there on IOS too, from the diary page…

[cosme.costa]

@Stefan-Kersting It only works with watches that have the VO2 max S9 and S5 I think, Spartans do not have and show this metric.

[cosme.costa]

@aalfaro5 OFF TOPIC: Cap de Creus is a very nice area to run!

[Stefan Kersting]

@cosmecosta I have the s9b, a week old as you can see the vo2 max is not there in the dairy. Have the newest update installed

[aalfaro5]

@Stefan-Kersting then I would definitely talk to support team, in my honest opinion.

[dulko79]

@Stefan-Kersting I think Vo2max is calculated only for running and walking. Did you run or walk last week? And more thing, check manual how many runs or walks you must perform to obtain vo2max value.

[Stefan Kersting]

@dulko79 I did to runs. After the first run with my new watch I had a vo2 of 48 and after the second 46. So the values are shown on the watch…

@Stefan-Kersting swipe for the tab, maybe others hide it.

@jw-cou looks not like iOS I think…

However, arriving on a 4000 of the alps and not seeing the exact altitude is frustrating … it would be better if Suunto implemented the ability to adjust the altitude even during a recording, I don’t think it is such a sensational and difficult change to make…

it’s not necessary

Or, and trust me on this, it is. Particularly if the user can observe the difference and it is not beyond the capacity of technology to Fuse reference values.

UX improvement by choice (with user-accepted drawback risk). Just like the lock button you miss. Which I wasn’t sure about until I had to wear my watch on the “wrong” wrist and “enjoyed” all the issues you’ve cataloged.

@Fenr1r
Agree.
My Spartan fusedalti is often bad. I correct altitude afterwards in desktop database, but I would do it on watch each time if I could. (for the situation I don’t know the altitude at start).
GPS altitude is not always good, but not always that bad. I would like to have the option to see GPS altitude and be able to tweak it a bit and save. We never know when fusedalti doesn’t work.

@Fenr1r
hmm… I’ve once since I own the S9B seen the altitude being bananas and that was when the watch went in some rare kind of the edge of tomorrow mode…
Coming from the A3PS I’ve always adjusted the alti manually, even with the S9B until I’ve learned that this deactivated the fusedalti. So I can say for my needs I miss an alti adjustment for around 0% as fusedalti does that for me, pretty precisely actually! only recently to 1m accurate …but there’s nothing that prevents unwanted button press in watch mode so far

Yep.
If you have to rely a bit on altitude during a workout, and if it has not been correctly fusedaltied, you are fu… for the rest of your party.

If we trust our map’s surveyors (or the folk who paint numbers on signs/chairlifts/unusually sedentary goats), then we can get a pretty good idea when it’s failing to be as accurate as it could.

All you need is kill the S9 Omega.

only recently to 1m accurate

If that accuracy never got worse than 3m (the pretty consistent reliability of my old Vector when calibrated), I’d be happy enough to trust it. However, I’m not sure that the vagaries of atmo pressure and GNSS signal reception/DOP could ever really guarantee it. Those conditions are waiting, if somewhat less predictably than the sleeve hazard.

now I wish for a lock button AND an S9 Omega killswitch
