    yes, I wasn’t checking for 5, that why I wrote “I think”, sorry. Thought about it as a bit weaker version of 9 🙂

      all good man just I mention…

      also me too i have little problems with s9

      1. use compass at exercsice mode (and bearing locks)
      2. backlight function (i solve it unofficial with press upper or mid button for 2 sec)
      3. lock buttons in navigation mode because when i hike in difficult conditions and use my hands to get over an obstacle press accidentally the button and change the screen or open the bottom nav. menu)
      4. when i pause the activity i want to access in the menu to see my all exerscise data or redefine my navigate position when rest ( like ambit or new S7 )
      5. poi name at "the fly’’ to know wich is wich
      6. lock button in IN TIME MODE big buttons - easy accidental press…

      but i still fucking love this watch…and the “pros” in crucial and important fuctions are always in 101% functionally - trustworty.
      this minimal tech- watch companion has NEVER BUT NEVER betray me in the mountains or sea.

      i try a lot in the market…but…🔺 : S9 PURE POWER

        Longer duration of vibration for alarm.
        I suppose it is topmost new feature for next firmware. Currently notification/alarm vibration is so weak that it cannot be sensed even in relax condition…
        I want power of vibration be configured. For persons who prefer longer battery life maybe it will be necessary to choose current vibration duration but for those who really want to know what happening without periodically checking phone duration of vibration must be much much longer and powerfull than current.
        P.S. I constantly asking about this feature for more than a year, but still no luck. Time to time I’m finding myself in one step from smash this watches with huge hammer when I miss important notification… again.

          Yes, vibration is so weak and short that I still use miBand for waking up in the morning.

              what really?
              if notification is that important to you, why don’t you just set the phone volume to maximum?

                @TELE-HO I think that that guy just kidding but I for example don’t want to have sound notification to loud and I prefer vibration, that is why longer vibration than now is so important for me

                  @TELE-HO

                  🙂 I don’t want to wake up other people with alarm sound (or little nephew when sleeping over) that remain sleeping when I get up for work.

                    @TELE-HO My phone mostly in pocket or on table somewhere. I’m not a big fan of bomb alarm couple times every minute, so I have to choose “not too loud” sound level. You know from the time of first smart bands all wearable electronics with notification function can handle sensible vibration. My wife have 3 fitness and that watches also can handle it. Why so called “flagship” product cannot?

                      @Cuba1hr 🤦 There was a time I used both watches and miband. But that watches wasn’t smart.
                      I’m owner of not so tough nervous system, so having “best suunto smart” watches means for me that they should handle function of $20 miBand. But… suunto think different 🙂

                        @tomahawk5000 No kidding. I was a big fan of suunto. That was the only reason why I bought this.
                        But nowadays I’m absolutely sure that there will be no more suunto watches… mine. And they will be placed on “history” shelf if suunto will finally fix all issues or youtube will have a video about it resistance to drilling, sawing and smashing 😉

                            BTW I skied with the S9 today, the tracks are spectacular. Will share later on, if I manage to export the image on my mobile with QS.

                            Edit: no luck on my mobile, I need to work on that.

                                    @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos simply I can’t seem to get a good screenshot. Maybe I should just share the links to QS.

                                      I have been testing old and new GPS FW

                                      Here are my conclusions.

                                      1. The new FW by far improves the track and there are no big / issues
                                      2. BEIDOU is added
                                      3. QZSS is displayed
                                      4. GPS is one of the best performers perhaps after BEIDOU with Galilleo being the worse

                                      Galilleo has been on/off for me. In the first months it was great (same FW) but looks like EU has on/offs with their quality. 2 Watches , many FW’s Galileo can offset but can also make very smooth tracks.

                                      GPS looks Solid. No comment.
                                      Beidou can really improve the tracking, walking with my hand in the pocket and looking like I am running. Same conditions GPS only would have a worse track.
                                      Glonass looks okish, can offset a bit in some cases (water)

                                      I am eager this to go out and continue the discussion here .

                                      Cut corners and other distance annoyances have been fixed for me
