@isazi Except the white watch faces
-
@surfboomerang yeah not sure if that is permanent or not. Often a watch has a distinctive watch face (and in this case color) that remains not accessible to previous models, although all watches got the S3 watch face recently, so it may change.

wow, you are crazy, man
this looks like agile sprint management for the experienced 
@darxmurf
I have a Schrödingers feeling about user feedback and how Suunto handles it… first of all: I did give feedback some years ago to Garmin. None of it, but absolutely nothing has been implemented. And it was simple stuff on their Connect page.
I noticed Suunto meets my demands much better, watch and homepage wize (ok, the last we all know went down the sewer…) but I changed to A3P, had the much better watch and saw the data I wanted.
I upgraded to S9B, saw room for improvement on the S9B and SA, mentioned it every now and then
and I would say that some of it has been considered and implemented. I must confess that one thing has been implemented that I have never expected to be solved for the next watch: baro holes position. Check where they are in S9P: perfectly placed. No chance for covering them to give wrong readings. This requires a lot of work and is only possible for new models, of cours.
On the other hand, there are simple things, like a lock function in watch mode that haven’t been implemented yet… I might be wrong when saying “simple”… in my imagination it is simple, since A3P had this function in watch AND activity mode and S9B does only have it in activity mode.My summary: if you don’t mention great ideas no one will know about it. If you mention them and they are implemented: jackpot! If you mention them and they are ignored, maybe the product manager has different plans, keeps it for a new model etc…
I notice in general that there are companies that do their thing and others they observe market needs and listen. I think Suunto listens but they do not over react on each idea.

Unless you want to buy a new watch.
…or you want a 99.9% security to not get blocked baro holes

And just to say it again, posts with wishlists or suggestions are not obligations for Suunto. Suunto gets reports from this, but this is one of many channels they have. Surveys are another public way they have to gather data (and probably with more answers than in the forum), and then there must be all the usual industry stuff like to gather ideas. And after all of this, the decisions are for the management to take.

lock function in watch mod
I would say …
I really hope that Suunto dev are reading us and onsidere our ideas …
but in the same time … as I say when I’m on the other side of the street and a IT man … BIZ people are very imaginative …Let’s see …
My dreams

absolutely, it’s a wishlist and not an order agenda
we’ve bought the watches as they were offered. anything on top is the whipped cream (if someone likes whipped cream…) -

Well well wel I’m not fan of whipped cream … but a giant lemon icecream … why not !!!
-
@mister-pyc
me neither… I like the pure thing… reduced to the essential
-
@mister-pyc We follow SAFe framework and there is already a method to include “small” features in the backlog top (just if they have value for the customers)

Please fix the zombie notification!

Yesss, please! -
@suzzlo
Excellent !!!
So let’s hope my suggestions will be appreciated and then … not too big

FW update by bluetooth and SA
blood oxygen saturation (in case Valencell is ready for this?)these 2 wishes have been implemented in S9P. Moderators, I think we can close this thread. Future wishes can be suggested for S9P and if hardware allows, it might eventually come to S9B, too
-
@freeheeler those were not even just firmware updates, but hardware (faster Bluetooth and new HR sensor).

And I believe the S9 is going to get a new firmware at some point

@isazi
Spring for me because I’m back to front

@isazi
yep, that’s what I wanted to point out.
Features/Firmware have been updated and cool stuff has been implemented for the peak and came to the baro to some extend, too.
Now that we know that peak and baro share the same basis, we can wish for features/firmware on the peak and it will come to the baro, too, if hardware allows.
I highly doubt a lock function in watch mode will ever be createdliving sideways
