New watch faces?
-
@kriskus that depends on what information is pulled by the API. Been reading up on the battery drain issue and I’m sure and hope that is being prioritized now above everything else. If the fear of opening up an API for creating battery drain issues is there then it comes down to not having control over the data that’s being pushed out. How Garmin and others who allows this has done is to strictly make sure to only allow certain form of information/complications so that they have control. Some watch faces will have more complications than others or some have animations such as second hand or numbers changing every second which will add a slight drain. The positive part is that a battery efficient watch face could be created also and not only one that is fully packed with complications that might drain. So if Suunto controls the data of the API, then battery drain shouldn’t be an issue. However I do agree focus should be on the current battery drain issue. But one can hope that there’ll be more watch faces, personally I hope more for a red night mode as an accessibility feature.

Another issue I’m wondering about is altimeter drift. Any word on whether that’s being addressed? My Race currently shows me at -74 feet but it should be at about +65 feet. If I set it manually it will drift away from the truth slowly over days. The barometer seems to be fine, as I can check it against multiple sources, but the altimeter definitely isn’t fine. Considering that this seems to be a fairly common complaint I’m hoping a software fix can be issued.

@TitaniumDave
This should probably go in separate topic. I wrote about this some months ago. I’m facing exact same problem. My guess is Race does not have the algorithm that switches from baro to altimeter mode when not in activity, like older devices have. Or at least it does not work well. It also might just be a bug.It would be great if someone from suunto clarified this.

@Stefano-M64 no promise, but maybe next week is a good bet - if nothing unexpected happens…
Some time ago it used to be “take cable to office” days

Well, new faces have arrived, and oh boy…
I did ask for something more finesse, but this drawings by 6 year old blew my mind…
Speachless…
Suunto Race anyone? -
@Sta-Rydziad look. Suunto development is not there for individual oder and delivery. You might probably understand.

@Sta-Rydziad I really love the Christmas watch face. It makes me smile
-
@Egika never said they were. I am just stating, that these watch faces are crap. That is just my feedback, one of many different ones. Feedback is something that dev teams base their work on. Simples…

@Sta-Rydziad Your feedback is only subjective and focused on the watch faces with a limited use case. There is no real value in that. These watch faces have been made for the the Christmas and New Year’s celebrations and that’s it. You are also being rude saying: this “…drawings by 6 year old…”
I understand it’s hard to say it politely but maybe you can learn - especially during the Christmas - how to be nice to people. Don’t use those watch faces and chill out

@Sta-Rydziad Constructive feedback promotes thought and conversation that can promote improvement. Your feedback is judgemental and frankly how you described the new watch faces,
