Future S9 firmware wishlist summary
-
@sky-runner maybe but I still know there is a limit and thus there would be a limit for number of segments you could “star” to have synced to the watch. If it was enough of a limitation by the hardware it of course would not be worth it for the Suunto software teams to pursue…that was mainly my point.
-
So, an update for S7 went live yesterday. I wonder if S9 will get one before the vertical week.
-
Too risky for Suunto.
It for that i love Suunto. Nice design, good hardware and bugless software.
-
@mi_chael They could clearly work on the reliability of their functions like stepcount / VO2max, Resources etc.
-
@theguyfromthesummit VO2max and resources aren’t technically theirs. And step count is deliberately ignored to invest time in other things.
-
@mi_chael too bad, I was hoping to try out new firmware in the mountains over the weekend.
-
@dmytro Oh yes. Me too! Come on, still 1,5 days before the weekend.
-
New firmware will come with new watch. When you see new watch teasing, firmware update will be just around the corner…
-
@mi_chael New watch - new firmware sounds reasonable. Any idea when? I know there are already ongoing speculations in the forum: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/6772/suunto-ow202 World Vertical Week would have been also a good moment for a firmware update. Still hoping.
-
@mi_chael yes, but it will be the second release from this point. I remember that embargo on the new watch should drop around Hollidays. This is also consistent with suunto releasing something new in late autum/winter.
-
@dmytro Investing time in what?
sorry if I sound like a haterboy or something, but since spring my S9B is getting less and less reliable, and the constant new app UI is kind of annoying.
GPS is getting worse from day to day etc. -
@theguyfromthesummit well, it is not getting bad for everyone, apparently just for you and few others, and I already told you the results you get are totally not normal and you should contact support.
-
@dmytro Just spoke to the guy at the shop where I buy my watches for years and he told me that the upcoming Suunto product was planned for a September/October delivery but is delayed to early 2022. He is super reliable and a nice guy.
-
@patrick-löffler watch from other thread?
-
@theguyfromthesummit ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’m not a suunto employee, so, from my perspective, only time will tell. -
@dulko79 Yes. I also know some details. But not shure if it is welcome to disclose here. And honestly it’s easy to guess if you look closely at the other thread covering that topic.
-
@isazi I already did. Still waiting for a response
-
@theguyfromthesummit cool, and if you have issues with support there may be someone (not me) able to help you in this forum. I see lots of tracks of people with S9, both testers and followers in SA, and in the open mountainous terrain of the last pictures you showed the track should not be as bad as you have, especially you should not have missing sections.
-
@isazi Thanks! I will see what the support says.
-
@theguyfromthesummit My running is almost exclusively mountainous but likely with less forest than you have. My tracks are usually great and I do not have your experience. I would argue what you are seeing is not normal.
