      it’s cool to have a great wishlist but honestly i’m noy sure we see an update 😞
      I check other brand instagram and every day they have new firmware improvement … I wish i don’t make an error buying my S9B…

      Also you see some feature badly implemented or glitches 😃
      If the watch serves your purpose you didn’t made a mistake of buying it.
      But yes we always want more 😃

        @andré-faria the thing who make me affraid is the last post about screen issue. Honestly for me it’s an investissement, it’s not a cheap watch so i’m a bit anxious and i’ve the feeling other brand are more invested with communication. And they let user do what they want with their product. It’s bot normal i can’t share my data with the app i want especially HR. But after i’m happy when i use it. So it’s not to bad 😉

          @stromdiddily the idea is to stop the “false” distances when you are stopped. . to gain in comfort and precision

            @rob33 said in Future S9 firmware wishlist summary:

            A function claimed for a long time has been integrated at garmin (14.72): an ULTRARUN sport mode to manage stops or refueling stations without stopping the stopwatch (time continues to pass) but by stopping the GPS (distance).
            Choice between the optional functions either “Lap + Rest” or “Rest only”: by choosing this mode, after pressing Lap, the total elapsed time and the time spent in “stop” are displayed on the screen (this allows you to control the duration of the shutdown).
            Press Lap again and the normal display resumes with the total time and the GPS reactivated.
            Extra! When at Suunto?

            That sounds cool but what’s wrong with just creating a lap when at the aid stations ? That’s what I do before entering the AS and when leaving. It’s simple and i don’t need to wait for a feature that might never be implemented 😉

              Can we expect a Tactical watchface look ?
              And the ability to “turn off” the screen when we want to preserve it. And keep batterie for long hike

                @g287-sf i have recently tried backlight toggle mode while on the hike. It worked one time out of three to be generous. I would love to see another option to keep the scree lit up.

                  @g287-sf You can adjust a custom battery mode to automatically disable the screen when the watch isn’t touched in 10 seconds.
                  Is this what you’re looking for?

                    @дима-мельниченко If you want to keep the backlight on during an activity, you can select it from the activity options before you start.

                      I ask here because i don’t find a solution and think it can be a good option to have the possibiliy to zoom more than 50m when following a track.

                      Monday i take wrong track few times because i can’t zoom more. It can be better something like 5m, 20m and 30m like on outdoor GPS.
                      It can help when we don’t know the place.

                        @surfboomerang yes exactly ! For the watch mode especially. I find how to do it for activities.

                          @g287-sf Ah, not possible without keeping the watch perfectly still.
                          Also I doubt if it would preserve a lot of battery in watch mode.

                            @surfboomerang i think a bit and it will preserve the lcd screen. I don’t know if it’s good for the watch to always have something on the screen. I’ve always use classic screen it’s my first lcd

                              @surfboomerang i want to keep it on but after the sun sets. If I use backlight during 8 hour hike the whole time it will drain the battery noticebly quicker. Also when navigating in the dark/under thick tree cover it’s benefitial to have an option for prolonged backlight and not just standart 5 sec or so.

                                @дима-мельниченко by night i use a Armytek Wizzard WR flashlight who offer a red light (4 intensity) it’s pretty cool by night. I keep your watch battery and don’t kill your eyes.And red light is great for read black and white map.

                                  @дима-мельниченко It is possible to enable/disable backlight during the activity by pressing the middle button a couple of seconds and adjust the backlight setting.
                                  Not as convenient as toggle, but it works.

                                      @frederic once by doing this I had between 100 and 600m to add to each ravito or in the end 2-3 km too much.
                                      It is not very serious but it is a shame to have a very precise gps watch and to spoil everything with this defect.
                                      it would be better to be able to stop the gps during breaks (but not the duration)

                                        You can prepare a sport mode without GPS and switch sport with upper right button when in aid station and back to normal mode when out.

                                          @rob33 could also pause the watch at the aid station and then have fields that show you total duration which should include the paused time…
