@fenr1r Laugh, laugh, you’ll see when you’re over fifty …
If you continue to play sports …

it is through these exchanges that we see that not everyone has the same expectations …

@dulko79 we will probably have cyborg eyes, before the lock button is implemented.

Fenr1r

@rob33 Wry joke from experience, not mockery. Fifty indeed in rearview, and not as close as it sometimes seems.

And in 2031 “waiting for blink lock” became a Forum signature … In the interim.

And what about a Suunt’Optic online shop? We have beta testers (50’s bad eyed sportsmen), we have designers (too much lock button focused but…) we surely have some marketing guys
What do we miss?

in a couple of years there will be a voice feature that tells you your pace because we can not see it on the watch

It’s already here. Named Garmin. Already tells you your pace and heart rate. Long-press a light button and you can even call for help. “I fell and I cannot get up!”

@nickk Strava and RK had that. AVG pace per KM. Then its usefull

Endomondo had that too. When running with a mobile phone and headphones it would announce speed, distance etc at every autolap.

@egika right.

For starters this is something nice I think

Wait until you are over 60……as I said the screen on the Peak is brighter than the baro, much easier for me to see when out in the snow on a SkiMo day. It appears sharper to me as well but the ambient backlight helps a great deal when the sun is not shining. I was surprised and was skiing with the baro and Peak most of the time. I love the S7 screen but in bright sunlight and with sunglasses it is impossible to see, the transreflective screens are much better for outdoor use.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos so, as some people use the S7 with BT earphones for music, also the S7 wear app could do this

reminds me of countdowns to notify Mr. Bond in the 70’s how many seconds are left for him to save the world

indeed the brightness counts enough, but my problem is that I can not see much near without glasses (for example very complicated on a phone).
I admit it’s quite specific to my case… and it’s boring.

It will be necessary to test!

@egika Sports Tracker was doing that since it started out as a Symbian OS based app, called Nokia Sports Tracker beta long long time ago you could customize what to hear, I always had it on so I could just hear it and keep running

@chrisa +1 on the ‘50+ ageing eyes.’ I have a similar pair!

@dulko79 …and with no need of an alarm in the night to get up to pee!

Pardon me for asking… I’m just wondering, with all the battery power during GPS tracking, why suunto 9 series cannot last more than a week in watch mode? we have 25 hour with best gps tracking, but 7-day mode only in smartwatch? (most often would be less in mixed usage).
