reat new update! A quick feedback from me:

The new notifications with reply functionality is a nice improvement. Unfortunately, possibly because of this, the notification display itself has changed for the worse. The upper half of the screen now stays empty (besides the notification icon). The actual notification text is only displayed in the lower half of the display, which reduces the already small real estate for the notification content.

The new media controls are also great addition. However, the media controls user interface relies on the touchscreen - you can change the volume or skip to the previous track only with the touch screen. But if the touch screen is disabled during activity (and it often is), this functionality is inaccessible, which leaves the impression of a buggy implementation. If it is not possible to enable the touchscreen only for the media controls UI, then I think the inaccessible controls should be “marked” as such.

Hello there
I was going to share the same issue regarding the notification.
screen cannot be used effectively

@tomahawk5000 I updated via SuuntoLink this morning - I’ve got an S9B

One thing that would be great to have is media controls checkbox per sport mode or to have a checkbox in custom battery settings. I only listen music while I’m in gym, not while running or hiking. And it would be great to choose when to have music controls enabled. Currently we have to dig through menus on the watch to find that checkbox.

@stefan-kersting +1 for that. Or maybe enable more S+ per activity

I like the new watchfaces and also the new media function.
Big up Suunto, this update was a nice surprise

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Is there more detailed information what the updated “Improved Altitude readings” feature means?

Chronbu · 29 Sept 2021, 06:31

@isazi hi, nothing has changed this morning.
How can I force the update on my S9P ?

Thank you.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 29 Sept 2021, 06:33

@chronbu if the app says that the update is transfered then just reboot the watch with 15s upper button and try again from the watch menu

Chronbu · 29 Sept 2021, 06:37

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos
I already tried it, and also already tried to reset the watch, and still have the issue

surfboomerang · 29 Sept 2021, 06:41

@chronbu What do you get if you open Suunto App, click on the watch icon, About Device in the menu and then “Watch updates”?

It told me that the update had been downloaded and further actions had to be taken from the watch.

Chronbu · 29 Sept 2021, 06:57

@surfboomerang yep, I have the same message.

Actually, I had this message, then I have done the update from the watch (that took about 10 minutes), but after the update process, the watch was still in version 2.16.26.

So I tried restarting the watch, resetting the watch, and even resinstalled the official version of the android application (I was in beta).
But I still have the problem.

Does anybody (as me) have double replays on Viber app?

Yes, just tested.

surfboomerang · 29 Sept 2021, 07:02

@chronbu And there were no errors on the watch during the update process?
Suunto App also reports software version 2.16.26 for the watch?

Chronbu · 29 Sept 2021, 07:13

@surfboomerang There was no error, and Suunto App says the watch is in the 2.16 version.
I hope the Suunto App can force to download again the package, and push it to the watch.

I didn’t like the notifications starting from the middle of the screen. Previously, I only had to raise my arm to read the notification. Now I have to scroll down. does not fit on the screen.

Mff73 · 29 Sept 2021, 07:51

@chronbu
i have no more S9P to test, but maybe uninstall SA and reinstall it and begin process from very scratch)

Chronbu · 29 Sept 2021, 08:00

@mff73 I already tried it, nothing works

isazi · 29 Sept 2021, 08:02

@djordje-s nope, Apple does not allow that.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 29 Sept 2021, 08:12

For the s9P users that cannot update:
