SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.33.12 - Q1 2024
-
@sartoric Of course, Garmin watches are better, more technologically advanced and more accurate. The only problem is that they do not respect users, do not correct errors for years and introduce many unnecessary changes. Garmin users will sooner or later get bored with it and will look for an alternative. And if they don’t find it, they go back to Garmin, choosing the lesser evil.

more accurate
cough (been a garmin dude for years)
-
@cjanevate in every aspect… WHR, GPS, sleep tracking…
It is not my intention to praise Garmin. I already had a dozen Garmin watches and the same number of Suunto, Coros and Polar. I dream that Suunto will overcome this general mediocrity and disregard of its loyal users -
@gizmo Well, selling numbers will tell if you are right or wrong. But I think you are wrong.
Like you I prefer simple things and very reliable but is not what the market asks and eventually Suunto needs to sell watches to survive, if not, at the end only Garmin will remain.

Are you sure? Were they have better technology?
Accuracy, against what you have compared it? -

I think Suunto is doing well considering the resources it owns
-
@cjanevate
I don’t deny that. It’s just a pity that we have to wait a few months for the update and get some unimportant function, a few pathetic watch faces and the most important bugs that haven’t been fixed. -
@gizmo more technologically advanced in what regard ?
-

Probably the right balance for them to cope with all with the resources it owns as said.
There are neither winners nor losers in the end, just our choices so love or “hate” it. -
@gizmo Come on! these 3 aspects?
WHR : You want accuracy, you need to use a band in any brand, any. In my case S9B WHR was really bad in the SV is perfectly usable.
GPS: With SR and SV, simply this is not true. Besides remeber that Suunto does not smooth the track in the app, like other brands do.
Sleep Tracking: In the SV is spot on.@gizmo said in SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.33.12 - Q1 2024:

An this means, what? A part that you have a lot of money to spend. Please, give us the numbers where you demonstrate that one is more accurate that the other.
-
Please stay IT, let’s not start THE debate … again
Mine was just a joke about the “contradiction”
-
@Dušan-Ković do you have always on enabled or disabled? I believe that this sets the behavior for the watch.
-
@sartoric oh the contradictions… I swear I wish I could run a tally for every has to be like! Has to be different! Message out there.
If Suunto took every suggestion to heart
But alas I enjoy the outdoors and my Suunto… I rather do some exploring instead. Especially with that new ruler on the maps (that was a pleasant find!). Nice job Suunto
-
@ppresing Thank you for testing this. This was not behaviour on the previous FW. It is a Bug definitely, because performance mode has Always on display in options.

No, it is turned off in the watch options, I only have simple raise to wake, than it shows just simple data, not full watch face.
Performance mode should keep the display Always on, as it is defined in its options. -
@Dušan-Ković yes it changed and now activity uses the same mode as daily mode for the Race, to avoid burn-in and increase battery life. I am with you in thinking that the behavior in daily mode and during activity should be two separate things.

Ahhh, another “new firmware” post and another “Garmin does it better”. This never gets boring, does it?

Garmin doesn’t do it better, but Suunto does it just as bad…
Garmin won’t change that, but I believe Suunto can. -
I was fully satisfied with my SV before update.
Nothing changed after : It’s still an awesome outdoor watch, and even better.
UI optimisations are great, and bugs corrections are here (nothing was heartkilling but I’m glad that 1day CTL/TSS is corrected, also daily goals notifications…). I don’t care if it could have been earlier, it’s there.
After 2 days with new FW, I also have the feeling that battery consumption has been slightly optimized a bit more.
No bugs so far.Watchfaces ? Well I don’t need a F16 cockpit at my wrist
And I love the one introduced with the race.My hopes for next updates :
- rep counter / upgrade of native structured workout guides (I miss that a lot !)
- climb upgrades (but considering what we’ve seen on SA beta app and last survey, I’m pretty confident that something will come sometime)
-
@isazi @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos ffs… So now I have to activate AoD before exercises if I don’t want my screen to turn off? And there is no custom battery mode to customize stuff like on every other suunto. Who the hell in suunto hq said yes to this??? Literally fire this person. When you open battery modes, you literally have always on dislplay ENABLED, and it doesn’t work like in battery mode? This doesn’t make any sanse.
-
I totally share your opinion and it’s the same for the backlighting.
It’s never been like this in any watch since the Spartan.
go back or allow us to downgrade the firmware.
Personally I don’t want that and when I bought the watch, it didn’t work like that!
