Future S9 firmware wishlist summary

[GNZ ct]

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.

@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

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

June is Coming?

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)

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

It does for now but a lot of requests to make this start and stop within an exercise, we can hope that this will be implemented but no guarantees.

@brad_olwin Voted +1000
Even more than a lock button.

I would love to be able to switch Suunto+ screens on and off during an activity.

100% with you and often discussed so I hope this will happen.

[surfboomerang]

@brad_olwin And on top of that, remember the last selected Suunto+ screen. Or even better, make it configurable per sport mode.

Can’t wait for new analog watch face update 🤭 Replace some old WF with new ones…

Are S9/S9B/S9P ever likely to get full topographical maps (like the S7), ability to play music, ability to make payments?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@jamie-bg not with their current SW/HW.

[Soojong Moon]

@brad_olwin Sorry to hear that. I hoped mutiple s+ activation. However, I’m getting more and more indifferent of supplementary functions. My curiosity will make me disappointed but in practice, that doesn’t matter.

It would be better if I could select NGP in custom screen

[Efejota]

@soojong-moon I will be fine with the possibility to change S+ during exercise. I found it very cumbersome to have many screens and having go to through all of them to get to the required info. My only complain in that case would be the Safe feature. It should be possible to have it activated since the beginning for some users, as it provides distance, bearing and altitude inference since start.
