Software update 2.12.30 Staged Release for S3/S5/S9

[Fenr1r]

@Brad_Olwin Thanks for the pix

The icons show the sunset/sunrise time

I was originally referring to the icon at the left-hand base of the outer hour dial - in your pic around 3am, if the scale still applies in that part of the dial. In the official pix above, at around 1345, west of “hPa”. What does that indicate?

@Fenr1r the trend arrow

It is a sunset icon, the colors get successively darker with sunset, civil twilight, nautical twilight and then dark. The icon is a sunset icon and will change at night to show sunrise.

DC Rainmaker review is out too. https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2020/09/suunto-rolls-out-pile-of-new-suuntoplus-widgets-to-suunto-3-5-9-watches.html

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos A trend arrow for the sun? Not a lot of options, nor directional fluctuation.

@Brad_Olwin So, a reminder of the next upcoming sun event … Up or Down?

OK, if that’s a subtle Suunto joke (in case 24-hour or AM/PM time, the bright/dark shading, outdoor light/dark AND personal memory didn’t clinch it): I like it.

what a time to be alive!!!

@Brad_Olwin i will use this S+ add-on today. And give my feedback but right now seems very useful.

@TELE-HO I’ll fight for this and you till I get fired

on the images above watch face (ive got s9b) I dont have a ring for steps, not really bothered about this just mentioning it in case the image is wrong or faulty install

Steps are S5 and S9. S9baro no steps but weather and baro information.

As far as I know logic of Suunto is that this is last improvements and new features for S9 also. Future FW will fix only possible bugs. New watch is comming and improvements will be only for that new watch

How could you possibly know this? I seriously doubt it as I would expect more SuuntoPlus improvements. Unless you are talking to SuuntoHQ perhaps not state something that is possibly false and you do not have facts for…

[Brad_Olwin]

@Fenr1r @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos thought you were referring to baro indicator.

nooo buddy, that’s too much of sacrifice

[Fenr1r]

@TELE-HO

Dude! That “fight for … you” pledge is gold! Ask for more! A pony! I’ll throw you a few Euros for some Spartan stuff (don’t say it came from me, obviously).

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Fenr1r with all honesty I have also been asking for the button lock since 2016. Come on SUUNTO on this!

Certainly, my son, let me just put aside this classified roadmap for the moment and … hang on …

4 years is a long time (3 major sportswatch types, for instance). Are you a lone voice in the wilderness on this? Is there a “Buttons should always be free” mafia at Suunto? Do they have sound technical/financial/religious reasons for not implementing the feature?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Fenr1r I suppose there are things called “hygiene” eg button lock, sport mode order remembering after FW update etc. Maybe that belongs there

Just out of curiosity…
Why a Suunto Plus screen for baro trend (which I have to enable before the start of every(!) activity) instead of an extra graph option in the already existing graph display?

Not just baro trend, the screen will show %O2 when above 2000m and if a route is enabled will show ETA as well as sunset or sunrise time. So, it does save a lot of other fields and I have been using this screen with stock sport modes as I like having ETA and sunset time available.

I noticed one thing: the ghost notifications are gone, at least today, all were cleared as expected…anyone catches that as well?
