      @дима-мельниченко Yes I will try and send this later it was in some sub-question not directly aimed at the airplane mode and radio emission. Basically it is what you say that the emission is surely ‘less’ than a mobile (I might used the wrong word ‘huge’ in my previous post) but nevertheless I just expressed my opinion to turn it off/on.

        @hristijan-petreski nonono, I don’t mean that it’s less or more than that of a phone(it indeed is, but that doesn’t matter now). I’m saying that it’s all about frequency not intensity: only UV frequencies and higher may be harmful to humans.
        I suppose “harmfulness” boils down to DNA damage which may cause cancer. In this case imagine your trying to shoot tennis balls through a key hole: it just won’t fit. That’s the same with low frequency photons and DNA. Very very roughly of course, I’m not an expert on this subject and may be wrong, it just doesn’t make sense.

          @дима-мельниченко You are enough of an expert it seems but you are correct. There are other biological activities that could be affected by long range frequencies and those include the electrical gradients across cell membranes (how nerves conduct and how your cells generate energy) but those are not going to be affected by radio frequencies.

            Non ionizing radiation consists of photons that carry too little energy to knock electron off an atom, all absorbed energy is therefore converted to heat. Your bt wifi or mobile radiation would heat your body by a about a very small fraction of what sun wave does to you. To do any harm you need photons that are less than 124nm wavelength or more than 10eV. To compare middle spectrum of visible light (about 500nm wavelength) and bt or mobile or wifi is several cm. Energy carried by photons of bt wifi or mobile device is roughly 120-240 thousand times weaker than green light. Green light is about 4 times weaker than ionizing radiation. It does not matter if it is 1Million watts or 10mW, if it does not knock electrons off an atom only result is heat. If your watch, mobile, microwave does not cook you, you will survive.

              @stromdiddily very good idea . Garmin just released a new sport mode for the Enduro watch which is the direct competitor of s9 line (but from 80 to 300 h autonomy vs 25 to 170 h)

              Ultrarun Activity:

              Rather than selecting a run or trail run activity, we’ve added an ultrarun activity profile to Enduro that includes a built-in rest timer. If you’re running in an ultra race or marathon, you’ll be able to utilize the rest timer and log the time spent at aid stations — so later on, you’ll be able to see exactly when you were running and when you weren’t.

              I think it is a good idea for suunto as the brand has a long battery life strategy for long activities. And this is not a complicated function just laps markers .

                Navigation screen feature request: A dual swipe menu

                Since the S9P has a full round screen instead of the S9B which has a flattened part at the bottom, it crossed my mind how we can benefit from this “extra” space at the bottom. Noticing the rotating information if you go into navigation settings, I thought it would be great to see that rotating information all the time without the menu blocking the route view.

                So the feature would include 3 views of the navigation screen controlled by the number of times you swipe up or down.

                Default: Full navigation screen
                First swipe up: Permanent menu part on the bottom with pre-determined fields which auto-rotate or (even better) customizable datafields. Stays active while selecting different screens.
                Second swipe up: Full navigation menu options

                And swipe down for the reverse order.

                This way the person can choose for itself if it wants to see the whole route or a flattened bottom part, but with some extra information.

                            @frederic I prefer the way it is, easy to lock if you want to. I do not want an autolock as during interval running I would forget and miss an interval. The watch is so easy to lock why is this an issue?

                              @brad_olwin I am not saying to have it locked at all times. I was just asking for an option to lock (or not… your choice thanks to a toggle) automatically upon the start of an activity. By default, I always lock my watch and unlock it when I need to. But that’s just me I guess.

                                you are not alone… I would lock it even more, if possible 😁

                                  @freeheeler And that’s without saying I am still waiting for the ability to lock the watch when not recording an activity…

                                    @frederic But you can lock the buttons at the start of an activity, I am confused. And as I said, I do not want an automatic lock at the start of an activity since I can lock anytime I want to during an activity.

                                      @brad_olwin Not sure what’s confusing…
                                      Indeed, I can and do lock the buttons but having the watch lock automatically would be even “nicer”

                                        @brad_olwin In my mind, it would only lock if you have chosen so in the watch preferences. So that should not impact users like you that want the watch to remain unlocked.
                                        But again, I’ve asked since 2018 to have the capability to lock the watch when not recording an activity and I’m still holding my breath so that might also be a “pie in the sky” kind of wish list item…

                                          Hi all,

                                          Don’t want to rain on your party but are those “wishlist” posts really useful?
                                          I was quite optimistic when I arrived in the community a bit more than one year ago, proposed new features and all on another wishlist topic. There was tons of other good propositions from other folks but in the end nothing of that was added in the 2 last firmware. And I’m not talking here about huge modifications or features but simple and useful things.

                                          My Baro 9 is doing it’s job but it’s quite sad to see how the Suunto team is not taking much care of new features/watch upgrades or community propositions. Yes they released new watches but what’s the point here? Do we need to buy a new one every 6 months to get new features?

                                            @darxmurf it’s semi-useful I think. You suggest feature and suunto may implement then in some way or the other. Take a look at resolved feature requests for SA, quite a few of those I must say.
                                            Watch also has gotten some improvements from users feedback.
                                            It may be more difficult to implement suggestions because normally the plans of the company are laid out few years in advance, so it’s difficult to make short term changes.
                                            Also, suunto released a new flagship model for the first time in 3 years, how is it 6 month?
