Future S9 firmware wishlist summary

@jamie-bg
sounds like Garmin almost made the perfect watch, if they would have added the option to have touch enabled while buttons locked
…I know, I’m pretty demanding!
but only because S7 has a lock function, does not mean S9 will ever receive this function.
It’s too long since the first serious request for it. Simple things are normally either done soon or neverliving sideways

Overall, I do not think the compromises are worth changing for. But, my opinion and others will vary. You can indeed lock the watch down. Fortunately, I did not have the accidental button press issues with the S9baro, nor do my friends that have the watch. However, I get it and think it would be good to implement.

@brad_olwin
don’t worry, a lock function only won’t drag me away from Suunto -
When we will get option to have usable maps on suunto app ios when there is no signal. I understood that this is working fine on android phone.

@krakra
maybe not completely offline, but it seems to cache the area of your last zoom in the map -
@freeheeler no button lock with touch free unfortunately - the only combo they missed.

With the last firmware update we got the SuuntoPlus Guides, which is a longtime waited function I think. The implementation is really elegant and straightforward.
For daily use I don’t allow sound just vibration, but for the Guides it would be better with sound, especially in cold or raining weather while I’m wearing jacket.
I really like to have a possibility like switch in sport mode, I can allow sound for sport mode or Guides. It would be easier then going in Shortcuts, Settings, General, Tones, General, Tones. -
@kamarasm I am totally with you. My preference is vibration only in daily mode, but vibration and sound during activity.
-
I’d still like an hourly alarm, just a simple beep would be nice
-
@jamie-bg +1 from me. I was never really looking for that feature but after recently purchasing a Wahoo Elemnt Rival that has it I can attest to it being very useful!
-
Considering that navigating downwards through the screens , one needs to go through HR screen , which is quite slow, I believe it would be of huge benefit having the option to hide that screen . In ambit times it was possible to disable screens and enable them back again . I think it Would be really great from a UX perspective to be able to disable some of them and maybe would make the device snappier

@thanasis
or to rearrange them in customized orders? -
I think introducing a new “swipe right gesture” (left to right from watch face) would be a nice features.
It would lead to customizable shortcut menu.
Mine would be:-
‘Airplain Mode’ toggle
-
‘Pair Sensor’ sub menu
-
‘Do not disturb’ Toggle
-
‘Power Saving’
-
‘Timer’

I wonder if this has been already mentioned somewhere - it would be great to have a filed (maybe two) displayed on the navigation screen during an activity.
Eventually, i used the Navigate Route during an activity and you can either see where you are going or any exercise data. This may work well if you are walking (possibly running??), but I was riding a bike and switching the screens when you are biking is not something you want to do frequently. So, I am thinking that adding a data field (or two smaller ones) would be of great use. You could use that for the HR, timer, distance, anything that is of value for you at the time. -
@mdzott
I mentioned that in one of the recent surveys and I’m sure it is at least considered within reason
some people prefer to have a dedicated and clean navi screen while others, like you and I, would like to have the possibility to add 1 or 2 more values. HR and alti or ascent rate, as an example… depending on the activity.
I imagine it could also be left empty for people who like it clean
-
@freeheeler I know that it would be asking too much, but the best would be if there is a field that could be scrolled (like in Ambit). One data field at the bottom, but you could scroll through to show HR, Alti, timer, ascent, etc.
S9 Baro
SA on Android
Ambit 3 Peak
Ambit 2 Sapphire -
@mdzott
but on the bike we’re back at scrolling again unless you would ask for auto scrolling? Back in my Ambit days I’ve had auto scrolling always disabled. I would always stare at my wrist to wait for the correct screen to come up 
Let’s see, Suunto has surprised us more than once and they think ahead
-
@freeheeler I am thinking about scrolling only as a last resort. E.g., I am interested in the HR, so it is displayed all the time, but occasionally, i could look at some other parameter (ascent, or alti).

Anyone knows when a new FW will be published. Its been a while since the last one. Any new improvements, watch faces and etc ?
-
?, ? and ?.
That is Suunto mystery
