Main Watch Widgets in OpenSuuntoPlus

MirageDev

Hey, are there any plans to make development of custom watch widgets possible? I’m super happy to see that the tools for making S+ apps are open now, but was just curious if widgets are also in scope.
Thank you so much in advance!

@MirageDev IMHO there is no such thing as widgets that can be installed outside of a firmware update. So, I guess there isn’t even infrastructure there, yet…

I hope this is coming, since this will be a really good step…
A SuuntoApp that runs in a workout, does not need so much test if we compare with a widget that runs always, so that’s why I assume it’s not there yet…

Looking at the manifest file you can see the “usage” property with fixed “workout” value… this could be “widget” in the future

Agree, btw, based on the feedback/rating a user provide to my app, users also want that

Your app Anchor Alarm has received a feedback:
Rating: 3
Comment: Should be available outside a sport function also.

And to be honest, it’s a bit of a shame to get 3 starts of 5, because the “issue” is out of my control, I do not have ability to fix it.

Hello , what could be really interresting is at least to have the capacity to develop some widgets that we can suggest to Suunto … up to them to decide if they are valuable or not and get inspired

I’m sure we have soem interresting ideas … and at least as not suunto has a “demonstrator”
It could be nice that we use it, develop a widget and then “sell the idea” to them

Here an example of a widget that I miss in my SUUNTO

There watchface are beautiful and the last one of the Vertical 2 …
Simple => I do nto want to change it all now … it really great

BUT BUT BUT

A sport watch is before sport … a watch …

And all what concerns time is not so easily to access and will agve deserved to be concentrated in a single

For example :

I will have been super happy of a new widget where I can go and that concentrate all this below

Current Date in big
Current Time <-- just in case I choose a watch face with needle instead figure so to offer a digital view
percentage of battery <-- it’s also a matter of time : how long my watch can work ?
Second time
what is the next alarm set and in which amount of time it will ring
what are the other future alarm set … and the same
when will the sun go down <-- just this so to not replace the sun widget
