Software update 2.12.30 Staged Release for S3/S5/S9
-
@markytarky I posted it two hours ago, and no, we don’t. I hope that is something we could get. I guess it would be an easy thing, and I would rather have that than the pressure like now.
-
@Sindre-Svellingen thanks a was blind not to see your post.
-
I guess it is quite much happening here today
And I think maybe Suunto is getting too little positive feedback, because a big update like this after 2,5 years is pretty good if you ask me! The things I’m asking about is just nitpicking. -
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in Software update 2.12.30 Staged Release for S3/S5/S9:
From a technical standpoint, there is a new operating system made for Spartans and the future of Suunto.
Yup, but not one that precluded (or precludes) putting an equivalent of the A3 POI/WP features on the Spartans. It just took until today, apparently … unless there’s something in the hardware of the S9 that uniquely restricts the functions from the Spartans, S3, S5. In which case, my bad.
The comparison doesn’t exactly work with PCs, given Suunto’s proprietal hardware/SW. However, FWIW, Windows gave a different look to directories from DOS … MS did not omit the function from 3.1, reinstate it for 3.11 and deny users of older hardware the ability to install 3.11 (which is where the analogy runs into bespoke HW/SW probs).
-
Finally!
The possibility of naming a POI will serve me as a virtual partner during my annual competition on the same route -
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Well as I don’t have S9 baro (only spartan) I can’t check new features :(, but will the baro trend indicator be affected with auto altitude setting e.g when you start some activity altitude is set automatically and can be significantly changed what in the end can cause barometer to change and consequently it changes baro trend indicator. In the end with auto altitude settings which is part of some walking soprts you can gate false baro trend reading?
-
@bbx100 the autocalibration is exlcuded as it is for storm alarms etc afaik
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos but on the baro graph it is not, at least for sparatan, you can still see auto altitude changes on the baro graph as sudden rise or drops in baro pressure? so I have to mentally remove these changes in the baro graph to see baro trend
-
@bbx100 that is correct. They still show there.
-
I wish they make customizable fields in watchfaces through APP, like workout fields for example.
-
On S9b, how to have step with the new watchface?
And how to have the hpa tendency also with the new watchface? -
@Mi_chael if you switch to the screen with only pressure circle it will show the tendency after 3h …
Steps are only for the s9 non baro + S5. However, it looks that many people want to get steps as well on the s9

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos steps, steps, we want steps for all
-
The third pics on first page of this thread is a S9 Baro with step circle.
I was updated my S9 Baro this morning and i haven’t got the hpa tendency. I will try a soft reset.
-
@Mi_chael Do not reset.
-
@Mi_chael These are mockup screens that I personally found quickly. There are a lot of options to customize a baro to look like an non-baro via the customizer and vise versa.
Pressure trend needs more than 3h to understand what is going on
-
Updated at 10h30 with my time zone.
Ok. I will wait.
Thanks
-
Great update
I have a question: What do you know regarding the battery life after this update?Thanks and Cheers
-
@Chindris-Bogdan no damage
-
Re Bearing Location: if one has added distance (& maybe elevation) to the bearing, can one save the resultant destination location to the watch (like a projected POI) and recall it later?
Or does is function more akin to the old Bearing Lock: i.e., when you End Navigation, all is forgotten?
