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.

@stromdiddily very good idea . Garmin just released a new sport mode for the Enduro watch which is the direct competitor of s9 line (but from 80 to 300 h autonomy vs 25 to 170 h)
Ultrarun Activity:
Rather than selecting a run or trail run activity, we’ve added an ultrarun activity profile to Enduro that includes a built-in rest timer. If you’re running in an ultra race or marathon, you’ll be able to utilize the rest timer and log the time spent at aid stations — so later on, you’ll be able to see exactly when you were running and when you weren’t.
I think it is a good idea for suunto as the brand has a long battery life strategy for long activities. And this is not a complicated function just laps markers .

Navigation screen feature request: A dual swipe menu
Since the S9P has a full round screen instead of the S9B which has a flattened part at the bottom, it crossed my mind how we can benefit from this “extra” space at the bottom. Noticing the rotating information if you go into navigation settings, I thought it would be great to see that rotating information all the time without the menu blocking the route view.
So the feature would include 3 views of the navigation screen controlled by the number of times you swipe up or down.
Default: Full navigation screen
First swipe up: Permanent menu part on the bottom with pre-determined fields which auto-rotate or (even better) customizable datafields. Stays active while selecting different screens.
Second swipe up: Full navigation menu optionsAnd swipe down for the reverse order.
This way the person can choose for itself if it wants to see the whole route or a flattened bottom part, but with some extra information.

Wish Item:
An option to automatically lock the watch after starting an activitySuunto Vertical

@frederic
whaaaaat? auto lock? your wild fantasies go beyond far
-
Power off option like peak have in general settings. Time to rest.
-
@frederic I prefer the way it is, easy to lock if you want to. I do not want an autolock as during interval running I would forget and miss an interval. The watch is so easy to lock why is this an issue?
-
@brad_olwin I am not saying to have it locked at all times. I was just asking for an option to lock (or not… your choice thanks to a toggle) automatically upon the start of an activity. By default, I always lock my watch and unlock it when I need to. But that’s just me I guess.

@frederic
you are not alone… I would lock it even more, if possible
-
@freeheeler And that’s without saying I am still waiting for the ability to lock the watch when not recording an activity…
-
@frederic But you can lock the buttons at the start of an activity, I am confused. And as I said, I do not want an automatic lock at the start of an activity since I can lock anytime I want to during an activity.
-
@brad_olwin Not sure what’s confusing…
Indeed, I can and do lock the buttons but having the watch lock automatically would be even “nicer” -
@brad_olwin In my mind, it would only lock if you have chosen so in the watch preferences. So that should not impact users like you that want the watch to remain unlocked.
But again, I’ve asked since 2018 to have the capability to lock the watch when not recording an activity and I’m still holding my breath so that might also be a “pie in the sky” kind of wish list item… -
Hi all,
Don’t want to rain on your party but are those “wishlist” posts really useful?
I was quite optimistic when I arrived in the community a bit more than one year ago, proposed new features and all on another wishlist topic. There was tons of other good propositions from other folks but in the end nothing of that was added in the 2 last firmware. And I’m not talking here about huge modifications or features but simple and useful things.My Baro 9 is doing it’s job but it’s quite sad to see how the Suunto team is not taking much care of new features/watch upgrades or community propositions. Yes they released new watches but what’s the point here? Do we need to buy a new one every 6 months to get new features?
-
@darxmurf it’s semi-useful I think. You suggest feature and suunto may implement then in some way or the other. Take a look at resolved feature requests for SA, quite a few of those I must say.
Watch also has gotten some improvements from users feedback.
It may be more difficult to implement suggestions because normally the plans of the company are laid out few years in advance, so it’s difficult to make short term changes.
Also, suunto released a new flagship model for the first time in 3 years, how is it 6 month? -
Hello Dimitrios
Just to share my personnal experience … even if it is a little bit far from just SUUNTO matters
I’m indeed an IT program manager in a big elecronic Cie (I cannot disclose the name but it is a blue logo with just 2 letters)
During 7 years, I was in charge of a huge IT program for which we were organizing every quarter a BITA (business IT alignment) … One day one of my big friend but on BIZ side challenged us in front of every body in one of this meeting telling us this : “you IT are totally inefficient … and I will prove it … I asked you to change the color of an information and put it in the official blue to emphasis it … it was long time ago … I’m sure it is a 5 minutes action for you, no-one refuse it but still it is open in the list since now 2 years) … so … you are totally inefficient !!!”
I realized he was super right … our approach was always to ask the BIZ to prioritize their point as there wer far more request than our capacity (it is always like this no
?) … and this small stupid points were always at P9 … so never taken …Since that time I changed my approach … now I play a TETRIS game with business … the size of it is the nbr of days * nb of ressource to reach next release … we valuate each CR … and the target it so fill it … if there is some small place left … then we may take bungh of very small points that may not have a P1 or P2 … P3 priority but are super fast to do
I’m sure Suunto DEV team is acting the same … so I remain confident that what we may propose, if we are able to show that there are not difficult to be done … could be taken … so I’m optimistic
All is possible in IT
Driven by you fear you stay on the ground, driven by your dreams you fly -
@darxmurf all the features of the new watch that were not based on hardware have been ported to your S9 too. So no need to buy a new watch. Unless you want to buy a new watch.
