Software update 2.12.30 Staged Release for S3/S5/S9
-
as a bonus if you go >2000m it will show oxygen percentage
-
@lexterm77 instead of moon phase i have battery

@lexterm77 said in Software update 2.12.30 Staged Release for S3/S5/S9:
There are 3 screens you can go trough
- Sunrise Gauge, Baro Gauge, Altimeter
- Sunrise Gauge, Sunrise/Sunset in h:m, Moon Phase (shown in prev post)
- Baro Gauge, Current Pressure, Current Altitude
Lower part of screen will display current time.
I think, in point 2, you see the moon phase because it is at night in your time zone, in my time zone 12:04 a.m. it shows battery level, I guess it changes between night and day

@cosmecosta
It makes sense, I’ve never experienced the light of a day with this FW yet.
-
@cosmecosta very nice
-
Love the update so far, but just a tiny bit disappointed that the Baro don’t get the steps choice in the new watchface. Would love to have a watchface that could show steps and sun at the same screen. What bugs me the most is that it is in the normal 9
Any chance for Suunto to include that watchface for the Baro too? -
@lexterm77 thanx for details
-
“Bearing Navigation” has a distance (and elevation difference) … isn’t that a (new) POI navigation screen? Bearing lock is one thing but how does the watch know the other factors to make the calculation?
-
@Fenr1r you enter them

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
Great info for my toady birthday… nice gift
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos On the watch? Adding altitude to G’s projected Waypoint creation?
-
@Fenr1r yup
-
@Fenr1r So you
1: point to the direction
2: press the arrow to confirm
3: Watch asks you if you know the distance + ascent , if you know you add em -
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Very interesting. On-watch POI creation without map coordinates but with altitude. I don’t know whether to be impressed or slightly disappointed. Since I only have a Spartan, I’ll settle for continued resentment and POIntless, petty grumbling.
-
@Fenr1r you can always wait for the next watch that should have all these. Then you can decide. I understand well that s9 was not a huge update to the SSU and why people didn’t jump so much, and why people would have loved all these to be in the Spartan as well.

Actual visibility on that? Or personal theory? ('Cos lotsa folks made that kind of assumption in the A3->Spartan leap and, well, you know how that worked out.)
-
@Fenr1r logical assumption.
A3 was a black and white wwatch with no UI/Screens. If it was A3 Gen 2 you would know what to expect
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos where exactly do you mean? In the watch-face?
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Not to offend on this justly celebratory day, but are feature sets determined by “logic” or Suunto product differentiation? Hard to make any assumption on anticipated future feature sets in terms of opaque product differentiation plans.
What (preclusionary) difference did the Spartan’s color & touch-screen logically make to the continuation of the A3’s POI/WP features that, let’s say, a slightly different bezel design won’t on the S9’s successor?
(The touchscreen UI is arguably a better interface for entering coordinates (<=5 columns!) than the repeated/held button press … and yet the entire projected POI-creation function disappeared A3->Spartan.)

@markytarky yes
