      How about the following thoughts:
      You have one „screen“ to configure x different S+ options, e.g.: climb laps, NGP data field and lat/long of rescue field

      With this Suunto can limit the needed software resources but gives users the flexibility to use different options of the S+ possibilities.

        @_marcus_ sorry I don’t understand your idea. Even if you would combine different S+ apps in a single screen, if they are all working they are still consuming resources. And some are even conflicting, creating laps for different reasons.

          I try it with the following example

          Choose a metric for each data field out of the S+ options:
          Data field 1: NGP
          Data field 2: Weather e.g. hPa with arrow up/flat/down
          Data field 3: LAT/LONG

          Lap counting mechanism: choose one
          Climb - Sprint - Loop

          Know what I mean?

              I don’t know if there are many real life scenarios. For trailrunning I could imagine that example.

                @dimitrios-kanellopoulos i suggested this earlier - remember the last used setting (e.g., the S+, Target, Wrist HR, Battery mode).
                I know that you may want to change it occasionally, but even if you reuse once, you already saved yourself some clicks.

                Or, in the defined sport mode, have an option to select all options (I think what @GNZ-ct suggested, but a bit expanded).

                btw. it would help if you could scroll around the options (in a loop). If you preferred option in S+ is Weather, you have to scroll through almost all other options (you are lucky, if you always select Climb).

                  @mdzott the loop idea is a great one. I find 90% of the time I just want the weather page and it is annoying to either not have the ability to customize order of the list or no ability to more quickly get to what you want.

                    @northeast_trekker The list should reorder according to most recently used S+ apps.

                    And ideally S+ should be customable in the app per sport mode. Having to select it every single time on the watch was OK when S+ was first introduced, but I expected that to be made customizable in a next app update.

                      After some experience with A3P and some garmin devices (FR45, 245 and F6S) and now the S9P, what I think it misses on the S9P firmware (should be same as S9B)

                      • Customization of data fields on watchface
                      • Quick toggle for airplane mode (on the same page as do not disturb)
                      • Broadcast ohr to other devices (not super needed, but nice when your forgot your hr strap)

                        I would really like adding the shortcut to the airplane mode in the shortcuts menu 😞 I usually turn off the BT radio at night when I sleep or when I do not want to receive notifications and the steps I have to take to disable/enable it are too much imho.

                          @hristijan-petreski why not use DND mode for that?

                            @pavel-samokha for one DND does not disable the radio emitting, secondly I do not have every-day’s meeting in the same time during the day so to enable it. I use it at night but that is that.

                              @hristijan-petreski you can enable/disable DND any time via shortcuts menu, just saying

                                @pavel-samokha I know 🙂 But I may not have been clear enough. I do not mind the notifications so much as much as I like to reduce the emission around me. I know it is minor but it is close to you especially when you sleep and you have your hand near your head for example, etc. There is the wi-fi, the philips hues, the netatmo sensors, other BT devices and all this combined results in increased radiation (not to mention the neighbors wi-fi and devices). For example in garmin forums one guy measured the radiation of the fenix 6 (if you do not toggle airplane it emits wi-fi, bt and ant+) and found it to be huge. So I was just trying to find a fast way to disable the BT radio.

                                  @hristijan-petreski may your provide links for “that guy’s” measurement? I wonder what exactly did he measure. Bt and WiFi frequently ain’t your typical gamma rays, so one won’t become hulk overnight.

                                    @hristijan-petreski I’m not telling you what to turn on/off, but just saying - humans shouldn’t be affected by these frequencies. It follows from “common sense” as well as from inconclusive research trying to prove otherwise

                                      @дима-мельниченко Yes I will try and send this later it was in some sub-question not directly aimed at the airplane mode and radio emission. Basically it is what you say that the emission is surely ‘less’ than a mobile (I might used the wrong word ‘huge’ in my previous post) but nevertheless I just expressed my opinion to turn it off/on.

                                        @hristijan-petreski nonono, I don’t mean that it’s less or more than that of a phone(it indeed is, but that doesn’t matter now). I’m saying that it’s all about frequency not intensity: only UV frequencies and higher may be harmful to humans.
                                        I suppose “harmfulness” boils down to DNA damage which may cause cancer. In this case imagine your trying to shoot tennis balls through a key hole: it just won’t fit. That’s the same with low frequency photons and DNA. Very very roughly of course, I’m not an expert on this subject and may be wrong, it just doesn’t make sense.

                                          @дима-мельниченко You are enough of an expert it seems but you are correct. There are other biological activities that could be affected by long range frequencies and those include the electrical gradients across cell membranes (how nerves conduct and how your cells generate energy) but those are not going to be affected by radio frequencies.

                                            Non ionizing radiation consists of photons that carry too little energy to knock electron off an atom, all absorbed energy is therefore converted to heat. Your bt wifi or mobile radiation would heat your body by a about a very small fraction of what sun wave does to you. To do any harm you need photons that are less than 124nm wavelength or more than 10eV. To compare middle spectrum of visible light (about 500nm wavelength) and bt or mobile or wifi is several cm. Energy carried by photons of bt wifi or mobile device is roughly 120-240 thousand times weaker than green light. Green light is about 4 times weaker than ionizing radiation. It does not matter if it is 1Million watts or 10mW, if it does not knock electrons off an atom only result is heat. If your watch, mobile, microwave does not cook you, you will survive.
