@cosmecosta I’m using my personal pc and network.

Some firewall or virus defender? Is Suuntolink up to date? If it is nothing of this I would try in another PC.

Hi, anyone having issues with S9P OTA update? SA tells me the package has been downloaded but I should check that all activities have been synchronised, the watch has at least 50% charge left, and no alarm is set for the next hour. All those conditions should be true (watch has synchronised over and over, I don‘t miss an activity from SA, battery level is 53%, alarm is set for tomorrow morning) but I don‘t see a way to proceed. In the past, with S9B, I remember Suunto Link claiming some activities not synchronised (which was not true) but one could easily override that…

@df130 my S9P updated with no problems OTA, everything appears to be working I only have storm alarm set.

Unfortunately my S9B had issues with Suunto link and fully reset the watch twice before installing update lost all my custom sports modes.

@df130 from the watch. Press update now

[cosme.costa]

Regarding the watchfaces, the new and the old ones: somebody at Suunto is very interested in the sunset time, but some of us, the ones that tend to run in the morning, we are interested in the sunrise time (helps to avoid running with the headlamp).
Why sunset is nearly always a variable field in the watchfaces but not the sunrise? Could someone at Suunto consider this and make the sunrise time a field with the same importance than the sunset time.

Thanks @dimitrios-kanellopoulos! Now I remember, still have to get used to the brave new or rather untethered world !

iOS users using control media, try to press play with the camera app open.

@bulkan Nothing happened, at least on my phone

[DF130]

@bulkan And notifications …

Nice to see the S9B evolving
The update failed and the watch needed reset 3 times in a row before finally succeeded.
I don’t understand why the Suunto app doesn’t restore sports mode customizations after a watch reset, now I have to re-create them from scratch

Any news regarding the Structured Workouts Import from TP to Suunto Watches?

[Chronbu]

Hello,
I’ve got a problem updating my Suunto 9 Peak.
Application (installed on Android device, V4.45.3) tells the software package has been downloaded.
When trying to update it through the watch itself, it tells there is no update available

I’ve just tried resetting the watch and reinstalling application, there is no change.

Any idea ?

Thank you.

[TheGuyFromTheSummit]

Sounds amazing!

does anybody, if the new vertical-meter-algo is included in this update?

[DMytro]

@theguyfromthesummit for s9p only

[Stefan Kersting]

@theguyfromthesummit what kind of function is that?

[TheGuyFromTheSummit]

@dmytro Thanks! Wasn’t there a discussion about an improvement for the S9B as well?
As far as I can remember, the S9P is already better in terms of "small up and down"s adding to the ascent

[cosme.costa]

@stefan-kersting Is a new algo to count more precisely the ascent, for large uphills shouldn’t make a difference compared with the existing algo but for small hills and hill repeats should be more accurate , the existing one tend to underestimate the total ascent.

[DMytro]

@theguyfromthesummit it was mentioned as well, that s9p will be sorta used to test run the algorithm + position of baro holes on s9b makes it much more difficult to implement, so it might come eventually, but it has not been decoded yet.

[Richard Thygesen]

Good work! Really smooth update process. It will be interesting to check all new things.

[Frederick Rochette]

So it’s not a major update. The good news is for the fix update.
A new watch face
Improved sync speed with Suunto app
Improved Altitude readings
New Ascent/Descent algorithm
Music control is useless because we can control music on all headsets and it’s much more convenient when we run. The only interesting thing would be to have the possibility to synchronize music via spotify and play it off line. I would like to have your opinion on this point especially since I tried by launching an activity and it does not work (freez…)
wait for the next one…
