          I used the Suunto Plus ‘Climb’ feature the other day. Thought it was great until it started resetting back to zero after each climb - and sometimes it wasn’t even on a climb, it just randomly went back to zero. It’s functioning kind of like an autolap but I’d really like the option to disable that so all of the data that you see is cumalative/total

          I like the data that’s provided but the constant resets and the watch annoyingly alerting me when it does so (15 times on a 60min run) makes it a bit of a fizzer, for me at least

            sounds like a new “feature” within the feature. When I used climb some time ago there was no reset. Is the summary of the totals correct then?

              @miniforklift doesn’t it start a new climb for every ascent/descent?

              I also have only used it once to avoid the buzz plus the reset of the lap metrics on other screens

                I can’t remember, I’ll have to try it again and see. It’s just really distracting the amount of times it restarts, I’m sure some of them happened midway through a climb

                  That’s probably what’s meant to happen. But would be perfect if you could toggle that on or off and just be able to let it run. There’s some really interesting data fields in there, even more interesting to look at after you’ve been in the hills for a number of hours

                    Agreed, would be super cool if it followed the auto lap toggle!

                      Guys have you ever think, it’s possible we don’t have anymore updates ? And we talk about features who never arrived ?

                        @g287-sf totally possible, but I like my S9 as it is to be honest. If I get new functionalities I’ll be happy, but I am already happy using it.

                        EDIT: meaning I bought it for the functionalities it had back in 2019, got a lot more with updates after. I didn’t buy it knowing it would get more functionalities though 🙂

                          And we talk about features who never arrived ?

                          Of course: such is the nature of people, internet wishlists and life.

                          it’s possible we don’t have anymore updates ?

                          Possible, sure.

                            @isazi Totally agree with you. I did buy the watch because of the functionality at that time.

                            Not expecting new feature through updates, although very very welcome if new features keep coming through future updates (Suunto are you reading this? 😜 )

                            I did however bought the watch with the idea that the existing functionality will be improved with updates for a specific amount of time. For instance bug fixes, performance improvements and GPS firmware updates. At least for a couple of years.

                            The question remains when will improvements of existing functionality become new functionality? I think those are the most debated subjects.

                            What if there is new functionality in the next Suunto watch that could be delivered to the existing ones but Suunto decide they won’t? I think we see a lot of complains in this forum. But to be honest… we bought our current watch with the functionality at that time. Suunto doesn’t have to deliver everything to every watch. It’s up to them if they want to do that or not.

                              same with phones… the expectation for improvement updates and even new OS is high.
                              and phones with faster updates and longer guaranteed updates sell like hot cakes

                                @surfboomerang I agree. I can’t imagine any specific function that makes S9 useless.
                                The problem is that I can’t use some functions which already exist.
                                For example, the activity planning is already possible on my S9 but can’t use it because SA lacks this function.
                                Additionally, on iOS, saved routes cannot be edited again, which is hard to understand.

                                S9BT, A3P, Suunto Smart Sensor, Polar OH1
                                iPhone13 Pro Max (iOS), Windows10

                                Feature Suggestions:
                                1)Activity Planning with basic analytical function.
                                2)Basic Training Gear Management connected to Strava or Runalyze.

                                    @suzzlo I was hoping it was an optional laser projection. That’ll have to wait for the S11, I guess.

                                        It’s possibly already been mentioned but it would be good to see the elevation gain go up a metre/foot at a time. Lag aside it would feel closer to ascending in real time, rather than having it jump up in 3 or 4m increments

                                        Can’t imagine it would be too hard to implement as it already goes up a metre at a time in SuuntoPlus Climb

                                          @surfboomerang I fully agree and bought the watch as it was.

                                          But after using the watch for 6 months I see some points of improvement, which could make me even happier as a user.
