Future S9 firmware wishlist summary

Guys,

a thing i’m thinking it’ll be great if we can “lock” watchface. Personnaly I set to see hours, date and step but it switch accidentally.

And if it can be possible to see step only with numbers to see exactly how much we walk by a simple look at the watchface. It’s easier than clicking to see the step “page”

And ability to see battery level of paired device (HR sensor, bike pod …)

A lot of people are asking for this feature. It’s even part of @freeheeler’s signature

I haven’t see if it’s possible to see the “constellation of Satellites” avalaible for GPS use. I think it can be usefull to help people to choose what gps activate

exemple :

I’m in europe

The watch show me 13 GPS, 5 Glonass, 0 beidou, 0 Gzss and 9 Galileo avalaible in my area.
At this moment I know i will activate only GPS + Galileo to have something optimum and preserve my batterie.

If the watch won’t be able to do it maybe @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos can do something in SA ? Like a page only made for GPS check and maybe update a-Gps with progression bar because people who have issue with seems to qui before it’s ended. Maybe this kind of bzr or % will keep people connected until it’s done ?

And it is possible to have basic fitness exercice working with accelerometer like push-up, pull up, squat and abs ? I know some other manufacturer do it why not us. It can be cool to have “simple training plan integrated”

@g287-sf I would like to see gps-related info in SA too, but don’t you think it’s too user unfriendly to devote whole page to this feature alone? Maybe it would be better to just have a pop-up suggestion on which mode to chose while updating agps in SA or smth like that. Or if we’re talking watch firmware to have an automatic gps mode, where the watch scans for available satelites at the start of the activity and then chooses an optimal configuration?

As for guided training/rep count on the watch, it’s a known feature suggestion for suunto plus and may or may not be implemented depending on the public interest. If you’re interested please vote for it in the poll on suunto plus website.

@дима-мельниченко Done for voting. I wish someone read it…

@g287-sf the polls on the app and Suunto’s website are official and there are people checking them. As for the forum, in theory this is just for feature requests for the app, not the watches. But hey, maybe this arrives at Suunto too.

Maybe if we yell loud enough

ArtoFin

@frederic As to can see from the structured workout wish you can’t yell loud enough

Joakiss

The suunto plus functions, which appear on the watch before starting a workout, could be chosen from the app.

And don’t have to be selected every time

Hello,

I’m asking myself (again ) i know the temperature on a BARO watch is given by a sensor in the watch who catch ambiant temp of the body is strap to your arm or if you let it 10-15min straped to your bag it will give you the ambiant temperature.

I don’t know if it’s possible to sync “local” temp via GPS like this everytime we record and activities it sync temp to. And if it’s possibile to sync it via the Suunto App ?
And maybe it’s able to show us 2 differents temp like “Body Temp/ Outdoor Temp”

do you know what is GPS ? it is not internet

@mff73 you can know the level of humidity in the air true the gps signal because thz more there is humidity in the air, the longer time it takes to transmit a signal and they used this system for meteo so maybe it’s possible.

At least it should be possible when you sync phone and watch.

check this : https://support.garmin.com/fr-FR/?faq=Mxs4eRXzRdAYJ0h7yyWaj9

So why we can’t do it ? it should have something to do. we can improve this watch, add interesting feature and more.

ldxmsg

@g287-sf That link just shows that you can use GPS to pinpoint your location, which can then be used by other systems to locate your weather forecast. I think you’re asking for the watch to be able to do that, as opposed to using GPS to use the baro sensor on the watch itself to provide a temperature reading? These are very different things.

So why we can’t do it ?

With watch to phone connexion, it is another story : phone locates by GPS, phone download meteo with internet (if there is network where you are) of estimated location, and transmit to watch. But GPS signal itself does not contain temperature.

@mff73 maybe i’m not realy clear in english. i’m ok it can’t work all the time especially in the mountains.
But a majority of the time we are in the city, at home or worst at work.
So i think we can synchronise trough the app.
One time per day offering a " bulletin meteo".
When your phone have converge it can update temperature each time you synchronise with it ?

Is my idea as bad as this ?

Mff73

@g287-sf
not bad idea, just with misundertanding at beginning you said ‘sync local temp’ via GPS
Ok, clear now, not bad idea, just it is a nice smartwatch option.

S7 should have this, and I really doubt S9 will have this. But dreams comes true sometimes.

Yes the S7 has a weather forecast tile, and can install some weather apps too.
