Guys, why make changes to the lighting function that worked fine as it is? I broke my brain.Why not just make the lighting with the push of a one button?
As I understand it, Suunto will not make changes to the sport modes, but only add smart functions. This is very disappointing.

Having the light come on with the push of a button is already working and maybe even the default setting on my S9B.
Change is always a thing some people can easier get along with than others.
The answer to the question why, probably is to have the software easier to maintain since the S9P added more features in regards of backlight.

And your statement that there are no changes in sports is simply wrong. A new sport has been added (although I have no idea what it is ) and the new S+ feature is there as well, just to name 2 examples.

These are not the sports modes that swimmers and triathletes expect.

maybe - I can only read and reply to what you write.
Me as a triathlete as well would love to see triathlon mode in S7

@stas-varazhbit hmmm. I am confused.

You don’t need to enable raise to wake. So pressing a button can light the screen. What’s the issue you are experiencing / thing chnaged ?

Мне как триатлонисту тоже хотелось бы увидеть в S7 режим триатлона.

But S7 won’t hold up even 1/2 IM.

I’ll get used to using the new firmware.Sad that Suunto went adventurous by cutting back on the multisport features. Good thing I didn’t sell the A3S.

I hope th above helps

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I feel for you m8. What you have to go through No offense to the others but I am pretty sure that there will never be a scenario that will satisfy everyone.

Yes, it would. 5h battery is no issue at all. During bike the consumption is smaller anyway.
I usually do 1/2 IM or olympic distance. These are the only reasons now for me to keep my S9B…

I’d need closer to 20 hours battery on a 1/2 IM knowing my fitness . I’d probably get picked up by medics before then mind.

@jorgefd78 Same here. Windows 7 updated but always the message check your internet connection. Internet works just fine and I can’t even do a reset of the watch… strange

isazi

@stefan-kersting remember Windows 7 is not supported anymore by Suuntolink. You can still use it by forcing the update (download the zip and start the update manually), but it is a workaround.

Stefan Kersting

@isazi ok then I have to wait until I’m home again

zhang965

what do you mean by Montres en version chinois traditionnel en Chine…

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@zhang965 traditional ZH for watches that are sold in China. (they have different language set)

Yes i got it, but I don’t think the french sentence ‘’ Montres en version chinois traditionnel en Chine’’ means the same

Spree

@zhang965 It is badly traslated, yes. Wondering how I would render it, maybe “Chinois avec aaractères traditionnels disponible pour les montres en version Chinoise”? Not entirely sure.

“Raise to Wake” that can be debated… My wife’s watch was shining all night long cause she was turning in the bed. So my sleep qual is crap today! (Tone, backlight & vibrations are always off in all of my devices). What bothers me is that the Low backlight is too bright But there is power saving option so i can manage ️
I do miss inclination data field & particulates data field in climbing, mountaineering, hiking… SM.

P.S. I do hate the tought of having a million third-party apps connected to SA just because of 2 or 3 extra measurement i want to see…

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@mountaineerx use DND. Then the watch is silent

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos it’s ON all of the time…
