Request to display full notifications in watch (S9PP)
-
Notifications that are longer than 6 lines of text on the S9PP get truncated / cut off, even if you scroll down. Suunto support said there is no way to change this currently as a user. It would be really nice if we could get the full notifications displayed (or at least 10-12 lines).
I realize that this is primarily a sports watch, but it is helpful to be able to read imported texts without having to pull my phone out of my bag or pocket when mountain biking, ski touring etc. Thanks for considering!

@Greennorth I would like this as well but none of the watches show full messages. Although I do not know why, I doubt that this will happen in the near future.

I recently started using my Suunto 3 Fitness again and remembered that the notifications are not limited to 6 or so lines (despite being a much older watch than the S9PP).
I can appreciate this is not a major issue, but I would still like to have complete text messages available on my watch. Hoping this changes eventually (if not for current watches then at least for future ones)!
Does anyone know if the Race S get complete notifications? Or are messages also cut off after 6 or 8 lines?

@Greennorth What does the complete message mean?
After all, you can send the content of an entire book and it should be visible on the watch?
There always has to be some compromise. -
@maszop That is fair - I would not expect there to be an unlimited number of characters. However, right now the watch only shows about 6 lines of text (lines that fit in the watch) which only amounts to a couple sentences. Many of my texts are longer than this (for example, this paragraph I just wrote would be truncated).
I guess if I had to specify a number I would ask for up to 20 lines, which would cover nearly all my messages. Certainly others will have different needs.
This is meant more of a request than a complaint. It was a change when I went from my S3F to S9PP. It is always hard to lose features, but of course we gain others!
