“beauty is in the eye of the beholder”

It’s okay for Polar, many users and me too. It’s unique up to now.

Sorry for the hijack but I guess I seen it here…
Does the Suunto 9 has a mode of “light always on” like the ambit 2/3?

[Egika]

@André-Faria yes.
And surprise: it’s in the manual!

I want to be able to create a surf activity.

The activity type “surf” is not present, I use standup paddle and then convert it to surf, but I also have to do it in Strava.

Is it possible to add surf in the watch ? It’s already present in SuuntoApp.

Hi all,
What about an “Elliptical bike” activity?
I always use the treadmill running option and then adjust the km given by the machine but could be fun to have a new icon for that too.
Thanks !

@darxmurf there is elliptical …

@LariaAtha having access to all training screens during pause would be great…

[Kowalski]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
And surf ? Is it possible to have it or the list is full ?

[BKtoo]

@TELE-HO misses the ability to turn the sound alarm on and off when an activity is started. Often when I use the interval function I wanted audible alarm or when navigating audible alarm offtrack. and the ability to turn it off when GPS signals are poor

Hi all,

Maybe a draw of the route saved in the activity resume, so you can tell where you were.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Damn, it’s Crosstrainer, sorry about that, I was looking at the wrong name

What about an update where Suunto changes the menu sequence of the watch from time -> actual HR -> steps -> altitude to a sequence where actual HR is the last one?

Every time I am checking my steps on the watch I have to go through the actual HR menu. That results in a HR measurment that I actually don´t want to do and the battery drain increases.

So by changing the menu sequence you can extend battery life.

@Stefan-Kersting
or let us sort the menu sequence and some more customization on the buttons…

[stromdiddily]

@Stefan-Kersting think there is a topic around here somewhere for customization of widgets. Please vote

Or you can simply use one of the watch faces that shows steps, at least a couple of them do, correct? Then no scrolling at all.

@Brad_Olwin
what if we don’t like these faces?

Well, you know the answer to that one:). And I’ll be the first to admit I wish the watch faces were more customizable but they are not.

[freeheeler]

@Brad_Olwin
maybe they will be in the future? Maybe not in S9B, but the potential successor
…on the other hand: Suunto watches have always been less fancy from the display side and menu… but they have always worked plus tonns of other pros that would only be redundant if I start listing them again

[Stefan Kersting]

@Brad_Olwin would love the combination of steps, air pressure and sunset/sunrise in one watch face. But this combination doesn’t exist

If you wear an S5 on one wrist (or S9) and an S9baro on the other wrist it will work
