Software update 2.11.38 for S5/S9

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
yes absolutely, don’t get me wrong either
I’m not mad, just a bit surprised.
But it is as you said, things are getting a bit slower these days and I understand that completely. Health and safety first.
-
@TELE-HO its funny as the problem is not per se “developers remote work”, but even testers cannot run outside
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos strap material has such influence on ohr readings? Is it because Nylon provides better tightness? Was it just for you better ohr or also for others?
-
@dulko79 you should consider that OHR / The WAtch the less it wobbles the better it works.
That depends on the person of course but imo silicone are not the best in line. Too much wobble at least for suunto that have more “heavy watches”. due to that nylon and velcro can be adjusted to not wobble depending on how you move your arms.
of course , I bet the majority of people can have a good OHR from silicon but not me

Some folks are just halfway between holes. I get that.
not well requested
So … in the case of button customization and a lockbutton (and before the Current Unpleasantness), what would “well requested” have looked like? How did any other request reach implementation? Number threshhold + market research vector priority?

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
I’m glad we are still allowed to go outside for running and cycling on our own with distance to other people. But if people keep hiking in huge groups in the alps it could be adapted, too. If that happens I’ve got to live on my TRX. -
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Interesting… I tried all sorts of tightness… A tiny bit lose, tight, really right. Left arm, right arm… Waiting on a start screen for it to settle and lock… Some runs are fine and then just when I’m about to breathe a sign of relief, the HR goes off the rails. Sometimes in the middle of a run. For no discernable reason.
I’d definitely take 10% hit for better HR. Hell, I’d take 20%. I have S7 now for daily wear. As a training watch, with activity tracking and notifications off, S9 lasts forever.
-
But there are some changes on OHR side? Or it is just a coincidence that I had lowest average sleeping HR this night? Nothing special, slept good as normally, training is also consistent, no excessive rest. Will see tomorrow
Also min HR in HR graph is lower than normally… But that is good, I think it was giving me too high values compared to HR strap readings after I wake up. So far so good

@Fenr1r Look up to some time ago (and still kinda) this forum is not for watch feature requests. I do from time to time collect watch feedback but not officially and I do ask “why/when” a feature is missing etc.
For example I asked just yesteday about the buttons lock and so on. Compared to other requests (from care and cross channel) indeed this is not on the top list. Easy todo? perhaps. But Iam not the one that decides. I can be a remdinder for PO to put that feature in the queue but only that.
Makes sense?
-
@Likarnik No OHR FW changes in this release
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos so you say I just got fitter. I’ll buy that
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
Great! Best watch by far far!!! Thanks. I can’t wait to try. -
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos BEIDOU in asian countries or everywere?
-
@mountainChris everywhere.
-
GPS+BeiDou: i’ve tested yesterday. Just 2 walk of 10min each one. Very impressive track. Can’t wait trying it running

Sure - not a dig at you personally. Just looking for an insight into how Suunto establishes its feature sets, and the place, if any, Forum interest has.
What’s on that “top list” and how did those items get there (and in what order)? That sort of thing. You might not have a (releasable) detailed concept of their feature-picking priorities, of course, but thought I’d give it a go.
As the watches do not, as yet, come with an anenometer, I’m trying to get an idea of the way the corporate wind blows so as to avoid
pissing into itfutile efforts. -
@Fenr1r well perhaps this helps. With all respect to @TELE-HO
What will bring money ?
A new climb pro feature ?
Button lock that is requested by a few users?
What I think can be improved is to classify small task aka hygene (button lock) and others as features.
That said at the moment due to the virus thing, do consider the capacity and implications on changing things / delivering features.
This release was for example targeted to be bigger, but things went out due to no space for testing. People cannot and use less their watches, that includes testing as well.
On top of that a small hygene task (eg button lock) will need a whole factory (HW) rearrangement. There are machines there pressing buttons and doing automatations. Those need to be reprogrammed as well on all factory lines.
So yes, it might be 10 lines of code cahnge to allow a button lock but the whole procedure of that small task is bigger than people tend to think about.
-
@isazi ok, thanks, GPS + BEIDOU recommended instead of GPS + GAL also in European alps?
I noticed that shown battery before training ist longer with BEIDOU. I will try
-
It may be worth implementing beta test mode for watch software users. This gives a lot of feedback for the company and shows which features are of the greatest interest.

Depending on the SNR and V/HError the watch will pick the best satelites to use that will ensure a great GNSS accuracy.
So how do I know which to choose with my SNR? (GAL, GLO, BEIDOU) or was it referring to watch will pick the best between GPS and QZSS?
