@Horizontal_2 it would be great if its possible to make the routes offline on the App . Actially you need Internet to create a Route like navigation on watch.

I would like to able to access the led torch during an activity with just one button push, not relying on menus.

This would be great, but what button would you use? All buttons are already used - both short and long presses are already mapped to other functions. Having only 3 buttons is the limiting factor.

@sky-runner Suunto could make a “flashlight” page. You should be able to add this page as a screen (or page, not sure how it’s called) during any activity. During the activity swipe to this screen and there would be a button to turn the flashlight on or off. Even some gesture to brightness could be there. Tap to turn on and off. Swipe up or down for brightness.

I’m not sure, I’d hoped that perhaps a long button push would be possible to implement through the firmware to make more use of the 3 buttons. Or a long touch on the watchface?

Cannot rely on touch. That is no go for an outdoor watch. That would be useless in a rain or even when wearing a long sleeve shirt when the sleeve covers the watch. When I wear a long sleeve shirt I pretty much cannot leave my watch on the map screen because my shirt sleeve starts panning the map all the time.

The best solution I can think of is double tap on the lap button. Implementation of the double tap can be a bit tricky because the first tap would have to be ignored and not trigger a lap, but it could be done. Another possible solution is combination of two buttons where the second button is pressed before the first button is released.
Garmin does actually have that for some of the button shortcuts and that works reasonably well, but buttons should be on the opposing sides of the case for that to be usable.

@sky-runner How about two at the same time?

@Kaikkionkaytos I need an on-Switch. Because my nap track doesn’t work.

My two cents:

Timer Improvements

Custom timer presets (e.g. 4 min, 6 min)
Timer should continue ringing/vibrating until manually dismissed (easy to miss currently)
Optional escalating vibration/sound if not dismissed
Option: vibration only (no sound)

Privacy Zones

Automatic privacy zones around home/work
Custom radius selection (e.g. 200–1000 m)
Applies to shared links & exports

Native Live Tracking

Built directly into Suunto app (no 3rd party dependency)
Auto-start with activity
Battery-efficient tracking mode

Activity Editing

Trim start/end of activity in app
Remove accidental pauses or idle time
Keep original file as backup

Custom Button Mapping

Fully customizable long-press & short-press actions
Flashlight, Timer, Media, Live Tracking etc.

Notification Controls

Separate sound & vibration controls
Quiet hours per notification type
Repeat alerts option

I think it would be sufficient to have the current timers as a start list and then the watch simply remembers the last 10 recently used ones. So the list will eventually be personalized without the need to implement any additional preset UI…

I like to have a sleep mode without the need to set the watch to full DND. So that urgent calls can reach me while sleeping…

Set the alarm more flexible (my workdays are mo,tu,we,th)

Set the gps accuracy a little less accurate without loosing maps

Set beeps + vibrate during activity and only vibrate in watch mode.

Set the datafield in maps to distance to next turn during navigation

Able to permanently turn off morning report (there is literally zero info on it that I need to know first thing in the morning)

Able to turn off sleep measuring without also disabling hrv measuring.

Disabling haptic feedback of the digital crown (when I use the crown I look at the screen. Haptic feedback is only useful when I perform actions without looking)

Or in short, more fine grained settings.
