About S5/S3
We found an issue when updating from very old versions and we are making sure there wont be any update failures.
Suunto 5 will be getting the “same” S9 features meaning Ghost Runner, Snap to route, raise to wake etcGesture backlight, you BEAUTY
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I assume that Suunto+ activation during activity is not included. As it has been widely discussed here, I just wanted to know if it is still being considered as an evolution for S9B that simply did not arrive on time or it is something simply being evaluated internally. It would be a great addition, but of course not a necessity. I am asking just for curiosity of its current status.
Of course, NDA applies
Ghost runner looks terrific and a magnificent source of injuries, hahaha.
-
@efejota actually I wonder how mid activity s+ will be useful. Alright, some s+ features would makes sense, but others wouldn’t. For example Strava and TP metrics. What’s worth of half- activity tss?
Maybe it could be done so that only meaningful features can be selected after the start. -
@efejota we are improving this part. But not ready yet
-
@дима-мельниченко
eg climb app is useful… it will not be complete in the summary, but if I want to see the climb angle during the activity -
@efejota
I think the 1 star feature did not make it to this release either
-
@freeheeler yup, I see how climb, loop, safety may all be useful if one could start/change them during an activity.

“Raise to wake backlight”
doesnt work"The Raise to wake feature activates standby backlight in regular time mode and activates backlight in exercise mode when your wrist is lifted to watch reading position. The three Raise to wake options are:
*****On: Raising** your wrist in regular time mode or during an exercise will activate backlight.***"
my suunto 9 baro

- Backlight intensity settings changed to only “Low, Medium, High”… I prefer the previous solution “0 - 100 % in 5 % steps”

@safari the raise to wake activates the standby light. It works for me, but you need to have the standby set to on.
-
@safari Basically it goes as follows:
- Raise to Wake OFF, Standby OFF: Nothing, use buttons to trigger backlight
- Raise to Wake OFF, Standby ON: Constant, low-level standby backlight, previous behavior
- Raise to Wake ON, Standby OFF: Nothing, use buttons to trigger backlight
- Raise to Wake ON, Standby ON: Low-level standby backlight comes on gesture
In addition notice a new Backlight setting in Quick Settings menu: this appears to turn on backlight indefinitely
Also, DND mode will now disable Raise to Wake, me thinks, and dim backlight including backlight turned on via Backlight setting.

@mountaineerx
Yes
it’s a trick
it’s done thanks
this way i will test the charging effect.
We were waiting for an update where the backlight can be adjusted according to the sunrise and sunset, but it did not come.
maybe it was my thought -
@nickk
thanks -
@freeheeler it must be locked somewhere in the process
-
Raise to wake gives us almost 3 seconds of backlight ?
EDIT, nm -

maybe it was my thoughtBut it did come………with a hardware change. The Peak has an ambient light sensor and will adjust the backlight based on the ambient light. An example of Suunto satisfying customer requests. May not have been delivered the way you expected, though.
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos i hoped there will be still posibility to toggle by upper left button as stated in user manual. It was convinient to enable backlight as needed justby long press of button.
-
Love the raise to wake feature…especially during workouts.

@brad_olwin
I guess suunto 9 baro does not have this hardware.
so it can already use automatic incoming Sunrise and sunset alarms. The backlight turns on at sunset, turns off at sunrise. in low mode. Just an idea -

Great idea but has one crucial problem: the light is often pretty dim indoors or on the trail during a day too. In fact, I personally find myself more often at need of backlight during a day than at night. So, Suunto’s implementation is understandable.
In the ideal world we could have both options, and maybe a control for how bright our backlight should be.
