Future S9 firmware wishlist summary

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Suunto app could do it? I miss my ascend and descend in zwift.

How about the ability to shuffle the order of the screens as you scroll down?

And remove unused ones!

native STRYD support

[Durri]

@Durri My last outdoor running with Stryd was with the Polar V800 and there the GPS data was entered. This is running with Suunto 9 baro and GPS data is missing.

[Brad_Olwin]

@Durri The S9 does have native Stryd support. I am not sure what more support that you are looking for.

[Durri]

@Brad_Olwin If it has native support, then why didn’t it write my GPS data like the V800?

[Durri]

@Brad_Olwin First screen was Stryd + S9baroTitanium. Stryd missing GPS data…here is the same from watch:
https://app.suunto.com/move/jurajkovacs/5dfde58710c1885b1d6cd854

I would like to ask why adding Stryd does not work as POWER POD - the watch registers it only as Foot pod.
Thanks

@Durri
Have you checked Stryd website FAQ ?
There are instruction there to pair it

[isazi]

@Durri what’s missing is not support from the watch, but integration between the platforms so that Suunto sends your track to Stryd.

I do not see power data on your run, my runs have power data. I checked and for some reason the GPS information is not showing in the Stryd app ( I am on iOS). This is a Stryd problem not Suunto as the data are connected. I will check today. You can pair your Stryd either as a footpod OR as a powerpod, either will gibe you power but don’t do both. It depends on what you need. If you search the topic you will find the pluses and minuses of using Stryd as a footpod or as a powerpod only.

[Durri]

@Brad_Olwin
Yes the power zone in the shared link is not visible but in the application is there…

[Brad_Olwin]

@Durri My latest runs are not showing GPS data. I will run today to check. I would suggest posting on the Stryd forum as the SA connection should work. I will do the same if my GPS data fails to download.

Last week mine worked perfectly with gps and power.

[Brad_Olwin]

@Durri Mine worked perfectly yesterday with no issues. I would sign out and then sign in again on the Powercenter page. Briefly, if you pair as a footpod and calibration is on, you will get pace, distance and cadence from Stryd calibrated to GPS, if calibration is off you will get Stryd pace, distance and cadence that overrides GPS but will get tracks. If you pair as powerpod you will get only power and no pace, distance or cadence from Stryd. Suunto is the only manufacturer to provide native Stryd support.

• backlight turning the wrist up (like Fenix 5 or Apple Watch!!!)
• incident detection (see Garmin incident detection)

[freeheeler]

@Juanjo-Payá
if I understand it right: incident detection would go hand in hand with some sort of emergency information about the athlete in, on or around the watch

[Fenr1r]

@TELE-HO And helpful notification: Vibraaaate … “This Wrist Has Just Shattered” … Vibraaaate … “This Wrist …”

[isazi]

@TELE-HO incident detection is useless (in the Garmin world) unless you have your phone with you, and there is service.

[freeheeler]

@isazi
yes, there are limits, that’s true…
that’s why I carry an emergency radio for some activities

99% of my activities have no cellular service so incident detection is worthless and if it will impact the battery I would not be in favor of this. I realize for cycling or other activities where there is cellular service and you carry a phone this might be helpful. I carry a satellite communication device for this reason.
I do not want tilt to turn on backlight, it would just burn through battery. I purchased my S9b for races that will last up to 48h. The S7 has the tilt to wake features and they work well. I don’t think the S9b is the appropriate watch to have this feature. If it did not impact battery life I would be fine with this.
