Future S9 firmware wishlist summary

[Vladimir Ustinov]

@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

[Vladimir Ustinov]

@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

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Could you hint, when will the new firmware come out, please?

[isazi]

@QwertyBoy we’re all waiting to see if we get Baidou
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.

@isazi glonass?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@isazi whats the prob

[isazi]

@nseslija Galileo.

[isazi]

@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
