Future S9 firmware wishlist summary

[A Former User]

@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?

[isazi]

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

[Bogdan1921]

@isazi

Next Tuesday

[cosme.costa]

@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.

[markytarky]

@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

[aalfaro5]

@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?

[ierisch]

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?

[isazi]

@ierisch I can yes, not sure this will change soon. Although, well I cannot talk, but I’m excited

[surfboomerang]

@isazi sounds promising!
