Future S9 firmware wishlist summary

DMytro

By the way, EU now considers making 7 years of software updates or at least security updates mandatory for all phones. It’s only a matter of time that something similar comes up for sport- and smartwatches. Thus, I think, payments for updates are inevitable.

this would be a great step for sustainability

Kostas Zinelis

It would be nice to a future S9 baro firmware to have the option:

to calibrate the compass during an exercise (because on many occasions I’ve witnessed discallibrations during long hikes and open swimming exercises).
to go back to main face during an exercise (because some info like date cannot be shown at any exercise face)

DMytro

@kostas-zinelis maybe it would be better/easier to implement if the date would be shown during pause instead? HR, time, duration are already accessible during a pause.

Sorry, I was meaning to have the option to have battery percentage as a data field on an activity screen

I do have it showing on my daily watchface

It would be great but until that is implemented (and if it is…), what I do is that I start unlocking my watch (except I don’t) and the unlocking screen shows the current battery percentage

This was never implemented, was it?

@dmytro never seen that in my Spartan, but who knows, the design is still valid

@frederic Same. At least it is accessible, would just be nice to have it visible without having to press any buttons

Turns out Suunto was addressing the issue of interval training for the Spartan series back in 2017, but never implemented it. That’s too bad. But there’s still hope.

@stas-varazhbit

I’m holding on to my S9B, sending it in for button repair today and hope that the lock function in watch mode will be implemented some day
I don’t use structured intervals very often, but I see the sense for having it

DMytro

@freeheeler they just return you a watch with no buttons - problem solved XD

freeheeler

@dmytro
hopefully not… just learned that it will take minimum 3 weeks…
don’t know how to survive that!!

MiniForklift

Maybe Suunto is working on a Christmas ‘button lock’ update just for freeheeler

Frederic

@miniforklift Yes and sharks will start to leave in trees too

They made a documentary about that

@freeheeler So maybe there is still hope for the lock button!

Didn’t know this one? Is it like the “marmotte et le papier d’alu”?
@fenr1r, did you remember ?

“Où sont les marmottes d’alu d’antan?
Ce sont les requins abricoles d’aujourd’hui.”

Plus ça change, plus c’est le même cochon volant.

Or something.

oh I miss the sea already… but now I need to enjoy the snow first and I will.
…I’m the frog who doesn’t give up…
meanwhile I’ve organised myself an S7 as a fallback that should arrive next week. let’s see…

surfboomerang

@freeheeler Why the S7? Not concerned about battery life?

freeheeler

@surfboomerang
absolutely concerned! it wouldn’t be a watch for me in general… it’s really just an interim solution I thought about the S9P but it’s more expensive, very little 2nd hand bargains and of course you know that I need to quote Alex Honnold who tought me “go BIG”
besides that, I wanted to learn something about wear OS just to know more about that. S9P would have been too similar to my X-Alps.
And I mean it serious, I will invest in a watch like S9P when it is reasonable size… I’m stubborn in that regards
