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.

@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 -
@surfboomerang
it’s not scheduled like santas day, but we all feel like kids when we get the surprise -
@freeheeler at least let’s get some bug fixes … the swimming thing is terrible

@MdzOtt said in Future S9 firmware wishlist summary:

Yes please!
-
@wakarimasen But this is already possible. There is a screen configuration where you can scroll the center (3 fields of data) through I think that 5 different data.
Am I wrong?

@Efejota Only in the 5/5P and 9P and S3. Sorry meant 9P not 5P

@Brad_Olwin it seems that also in the S9P. I have it.

No doubt this has been suggested at some point, but I’d like to be able to power off my watch. As well as my S9B I also have a Garmin Enduro, I really like being able to turn on/off the watch when I like and it’s a bonus for battery preservation. FWIW I also find the Enduro’s ‘Resume Later’ option a good to have
Surely this wouldn’t be too tough to implement on a future update?
-
Btw, I wonder if there’s going to be a new FW this quarter, or if nov 30 counted towards a winter update.
-
@DMytro I think Dimitrios mentioned some time ago a lot was going on for Suunto store. Maybe software needs update. Also don’t forget about training hub
-
A bit of a long shot, but hear me out…
I dream of a fully V&V’d software release without any major/noticeable bugs!
-
The S9 is a very solid platform in my humble opinion, and aside from these recent very irritating let-downs it could be a great watch.
If I had any say I would take a step back and give a ‘minimalist’ option for those of us who value reliability over ‘gimmicks’. Even better would be to give users a bit more freedom - Similar to what Garmin does with the open source stuff. I bet there would be way better face options - to mention just one example - if that was the case.
-
@ADHDMonkey
reducing “gimmicks” and adding more faces is contradictory, no?
some users have downgraded the firmware to the previous one and achieved more stability. maybe that would be an option while we wait for a further update? -
@freeheeler I did not say ‘more’ faces, I said ‘better’ faces. An improved and modern interface is not a gimmick in my book.
What do I find contradictory is having to DOWNGRADE the FW to get better performance (I can’t even type that without giggling to myself
).Can you point me to official Suunto documentation that states that it is ok for users to downgrade the FW please?
I’ve read on this forum that some people have had negative experiences with that and I don’t want to make things even worse.
