Future S9 firmware wishlist summary

@surfboomerang
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… -
@freeheeler Why the S7? Not concerned about battery life?
-
@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
-
@freeheeler solution would be to buy 2 s9p and duck tape them together. You can thank me later XD
-
@dmytro
I think you receive a bonus from Suunto for selling 2 watches at once
-
@freeheeler not just two, I advertise suunto to all my friends as hard as I can!

me too, because I want them to use the best… same with everything. I only recommend what I am absolutely convinced of
-
I forgot my watch yesterday and added an activity manually in the app. It’s pretty sad we still can’t import a GPX trace for that. It looks more important to suunto to control your music from the watch than keep an eye on your routes in the app.
-
@darxmurf just covert gpx to fit and import that. I did it for some of activities I completed even before having a watch.
-
@dmytro hum yep but how? I can download a fit file from the app but there is nothing to import it.
-
@darxmurf maybe there’s an easier guide, but at the time I did the following:
- Download file: I used gpx because I recorded with komoot and it doesn’t have fit files
- Create an account on quantified self io and connect it to your Suunto App
- Upload the file to quantified self, modify date and other metrics you need
- In one of submenus of quantified self, push the activity back to suunto app
-
@dmytro ah yep but this is a 3rd party solution and honestly it’s something which should be proposed natively by suunto. It’s a GPS watch/app, I think importing gos tracks is not something completely crazy…
-
@darxmurf ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe in the future, SA is a relatively new app. -
@dmytro well yes but before replacing something working fine, insure your replacement is good too… A bit like buying a new car without wheels, we will install them later, it’s a brand new car.
-
I would love to see something relatively easy:
have “torch” like shortcut . eg long pressing to “down” key on home to turn the screen white and light the backlight for a predefined timer (15-30 sec max) . It is extremely useful nad possibly lifesaving in dark situations
-
i would love to see a new firmware with a lot of bug fixes ( battery drain, etc.)
-
@clemens-renzl Roumors are that Suunto has fixed the battery drain issue, but no release yet unfortunately.
I was hoping for a Christmas present…
Does anyone know (and is allowed to tell) why Suunto is bundeling their fixes in a release roughly every quarter or half year instead of doing multiple smaller releases more frequent?
-
@surfboomerang it’s easier to manage the development and testing process, I suppose. Less public versions, easier debugging, more streamlined process that leads to a better stability. It doesn’t mean, however, that there are so few versions for insiders.
-
It is well known that there are several “internal” test firmware releases before the official one is delivered to final users.
That’s useful to avoid to distribute potentially annoying
bugs, like those that brick watches -
@sartoric …and the problem with battery drain is annoying too…
