@luís-pinto increible tatoo

[Fenr1r]

@suzzlo I was hoping it was an optional laser projection. That’ll have to wait for the S11, I guess.

[suzzlo]

@fenr1r I think so, it requires new HW…

[MiniForklift]

It’s possibly already been mentioned but it would be good to see the elevation gain go up a metre/foot at a time. Lag aside it would feel closer to ascending in real time, rather than having it jump up in 3 or 4m increments

Can’t imagine it would be too hard to implement as it already goes up a metre at a time in SuuntoPlus Climb

@surfboomerang I fully agree and bought the watch as it was.

But after using the watch for 6 months I see some points of improvement, which could make me even happier as a user.

does the new Sunnto+ vario (xalps…) could solve this for you ?

@fenr1r the a3p could add waypoints on the watch, but this was incredibly cumbersome. If you were working in Swiss grid you couldn’t change the two axes independently, when you changed one coordinate the other changed as well! The only reason I used this was because I didn’t carry a laptop with me on holidays.

I find the new method of adding waypoints, through an app on a device that I carry with me all the time, totally acceptable and a lot more agreeable. Only caveat is that I (probably, never tried) cant add coordinates when I don’t have phone coverage.

@soojong-moon Ditto for the impossibility to edit routes on iOS. Worst part of the SA ecosystem.

@soylent-yellow route editing may be coming.

Hi all,

I have a S9 baro.
My suggestion for adding a “backlight on” screen icon, because sometimes, the screen goes on, and in certain conditions, you cannot note it, like sunlight, or when you are in the sea o swimming pool.

When you twist your wrist, sometimes the button is pushed so the screen gets unlocked, and an accidental touch o when water touches the screen, it gets light on.

Regards.

[surfboomerang]

@gnz-ct That’s exactly why my S9B backlight is set to automatic instead of toggle.

[GNZ ct]

@surfboomerang That’s right, but in automatic mode, screen goes on every notification you receive (whatsapp, telegram, sms,…) and it was bothering me

[Brad_Olwin]

@gnz-ct @surfboomerang “Patience Grasshopper”. you can look that quote up and probably infer something.

@brad_olwin apparently Kung Fu will be another upcoming spots mode XD

@brad_olwin

June is Coming?

[A Former User]

This comes to mind:

• In between numbers for compass declination (exp. +3.54, -1.58 ect.)
• Break notification (if the resources go under 20% the watch tells you to slow down, take a deep breath & take a 30 min break)
• Same goes for sleep notification (like sunrise/sunset - exp. 1h before sleep it tells you that its time to go to bed/sleep)

Infer….more subtle than that……just kidding:)

Virtual pacer is coming
One of the thing i wanted the most !! Maybe THE thing…
But why a S+ feature ? I don’t use it so much but will it possible to use 2 S+ now ? (Virtual pacer + climb)

[Brad_Olwin]

@ink357 Unfortunately not, the S9 baro is close to its processing limit already with S+. The ability to activate/deactivate S+ during an activity might help with some of this.

[ink357]

@Brad_Olwin thanks, i thought a S+ had to be defined at the begining of an exercice and couldn’t be stopped
