Future S9 firmware wishlist summary

@miniforklift said in Future S9 firmware wishlist summary:

I definitely think the top number should be the total elevation that you have climbed - that’s a much more meaningful metric to have to hand than your current altitude

absolutely!
it would be almost like a sandglass but the other way around. while the lower number is getting less, the upper number should gain accordingly

@chronbu, well I’d like to argue here. The climb pro is not accurate for long distances like 50k and more. So in case, Suunto will do it, pls do it properly. And btw. the same applies for pace pro for long distances in trail running.

@markytarky I used PacePro and ClimbPro on my F6x for my 80km/4000hm run at Lavaredo Ultra Trail and it worked without any problems.

markytarky

@moe67er well, it works. It’s just super inaccurate, e.g., it said that I was climbing when I was descending, and this happens not just on one route but also many times. The same occurs with pace pro when I split the pace, not per each KM but using elevation. It was out. Maybe I wasn’t lucky.

So…When is coming the new firmware?

@bogdan1921 I think Suunto often releases new firmware on the same weekdays.

@isazi

Next Tuesday

@bogdan1921 Important question, What is new? Will us be surprised @isazi ?

PS: Do not answer if you can’t

isazi

@cosme-costa I think we already anticipated some of the bugs fixed in various forum posts, and for the new features I’ll wait for the announcement.

@isazi clever answer

Wow that is bad! Is that your typical experience, I thought ClimbPro worked well?

@cosme-costa whatever the update will contain: there will always be people complaining about it

markytarky

@brad_olwin yeah, it’s working for short runs, maybe the problem is the environment, I run in terain where the up and downs are pretty short (let’s say from 500m to 2km) and if such route is to long I think the climb pro is not able to calculate it right.

ClimbPro works really well. It is one of the best features of Garmin’s.

@egika
typical first world problem… we always find something that’s wrong

@freeheeler thanks for the answer, I use that but I was saying something that you could add on the face watch with 7 parameters for example so you have speed, time, distance and hill inclination (and other things too)

@bogdan1921 20.30 is out and already contains some of the new features that the F7/E2 have launched with. Still some more to come, which will probably be in next beta (1-3 months); however there are also some features probably never come through (like possibly Stamina).

@brad_olwin
Climbpro - I have never had that experience - always worked well for me, but then don’t do those sort of distances. Probably longest climb I have had is around 5km distance wise. But have had 4-6 climbs 3-4 descents before and never had an issue on that course.

I was just watching Ray’s in-depth review of the Fenix 7 and was surprised about the new SpeedPro activity.

Dear Suunto, are you taking notes for future firmware features?

Forgot one thing, when I used Fenix 6s, I put Airplane mode and powersaving in shortcut. I’d do the same in Suunto 9 if I can.
When you long press middle button in watch face, I would like to see [Power Saving] and [Airplane Mode] below the [Do not Disturb], so I don’t have to fiddle over the setting to turn on Airplane mode.
Thank you…
Maybe @isazi can follow up this to Suunto Dev Team too?
