Suggestions for Missing and Nice-to-Have Features on Suunto Run Watch

[sunuser527]

Hello everyone,

I am an avid user of the Suunto Run watch, and I would like to share some suggestions regarding features that I believe are missing and would greatly enhance the user experience. Here are my thoughts:

1. Do Not Disturb Mode Enhancements

   • The “Do Not Disturb” mode should have an option to disable beeps during the start of a sports recording and replace them with vibrations. Alternatively, there could be settings to adjust the sound of beeps.

2. Customizable Time Zones for Do Not Disturb

   • Currently, we can only set sleep hours and one additional time slot for “Do Not Disturb” mode. It would be beneficial if we could create multiple time zones. For example, every Monday from this hour to that hour, or every Wednesday at certain times. More customization in this area would be very welcome.

3. Timer Alert Notifications

   • It would be crucial to receive an alert (beep or vibration) when a timer reaches its end. This feature is essential for me.

4. Detailed Notifications

   • When receiving notifications, it would be helpful to see more details, such as the sender’s name or the title of the notification. Additionally, it would be great if all app icons could be displayed so that we can easily identify the source of the notification. Currently, we only see the title of the notification when we check received notifications, but not at the moment of reception, which can be confusing.

Additionally, here are some nice-to-have features that would be cool but are not essential:

1. Automatic Activity Detection

   • It would be great if the watch could automatically detect when I start an activity, like running, and then either start tracking the workout automatically or ask for confirmation to begin tracking.

2. Smart Alarm Based on Sleep Patterns

   • A smart alarm that wakes me up gently based on my sleep cycle would be an excellent addition.

3. Bedtime Reminder Based on Sleep Duration and Wake-Up Time

   • A reminder to go to bed based on the specified sleep duration and wake-up time would be a helpful feature to ensure I get enough rest.

I hope these suggestions are helpful and can be considered for future updates. Thank you for your attention!

Best regards
