S9P review from a non-target audience
-
@zhang965 I’ve seen that you’ve managed to put the amount of GPS devices on QS charts - I don’t see such data with S5, is such data available only with S9?

the data comes from the raw GPS data, you can find it on your SuuntoApp folder, in a Zip file, unzip it and upload the samples.jason on QS

@zhang965 cool, thanks, I’ll take a peek.
-
@zhang965 True. But also shows Suunto’s disdain for a web frontend solution after 3+ years from the beginning of the transition.
-
@łukasz-szmigiel Thanks for the suggestion. Runalyze is great and I use it regularly. QS seems great too, but haven’t used it because it’s been a long time I haven’t used my Suunto watch. Big kudos to @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos because it looks like it’s a very well rounded web frontend.
However, the lack of a proper official web frontend is unacceptable to me for a half a thousand euro price range watch. On top of that, I don’t want my personal data (such as where I live or where/when I usually go out) spread across multiple 3rd party service providers.

@jsuarez its not 3 y , its like ended about 1y ago. Transition to the mobile app.

Thanks for this review.
Curious the tittle. I am curious what is the target audience of the S9P, and who are the buyers, and if they match

I did the same complain as yours. And I still request a web fronted.
After seeing their improvements, I know they are working on a lot of requests, but maybe not with the priority that you think about.
I love to see a web interface, but some of my friends are not thinking in my way, for them(sport amateurs), a beautiful APP is a most-have, a web-interface is not.
Suunto Dev is a human powered team, they do have some bandwidth limits, (as your wallet has some limits as well) some requests could seduce more customers than a web interface.
I bought S9P (actually all flagships since Ambit3PEAK), just want support Suunto Dev to finish more requests, so maybe one day a web interface will come true.

That’s a great perspective, and no, I don’t work for Suunto!

Nope: genuinely thought it was a good way of thinking. Just wanted to point out that I don’t work for Suunto, as I had agreed with you!

web interface?! crazy idea… could attract more customers!
-
@freeheeler I think there’s plenty for suunto to implement apart from web interface. And I imagine it was given up for this exact reason. It’s difficult to sustain both web and app at the same time.
-
@dmytro i would prefer a bad app in combination with a neat website/ web app like Garmin Connect
-
@theguyfromthesummit that is what we had and that is where suunto thinks different. I actually never gotten to use movescount so it’s hard for me to justify the need for desktop app. With widows 11 around the corner one should be able to open android apps on desktop anyway. If suunto would be kind enough to consider landscape mode or something similar, it would be a great workaround in my opinion.
-
Let’s try to not derail the conversation to the web interface. The decision from Suunto is pretty clear and the topic had been locked already.
-
@dmytro or let us wait for a discount on a fenix.

yep, sorry for hijacking @zhang965 's thread with my 2 pennies
