@surfboomerang Yup, it needs to be per activity. I just came home from trail run.

• turning media controls in watch settings is not user friendly, it just takes too much time.
• when I don’t listen to music during activity media control screen is just another unused screen that I have to skip in order to get to useful stuff on other screens. I know it is just one button press, but when you are running through forest you don’t need just one more press
• before activity start, there are options where we can turn wrist HR, sensors, gps, etc on or off. It would be best for media control on or off switch to find its place somewhere here

I also agree about including media control as an option per sport mode. I don’t listen to music during any activities so it is just an extra screen I have to scroll through now.
I would also be happy to be able to have an option so that media control does not appear when I press the middle button during standard watch mode (it’s now a screen that appears before notifications).
Both seem like they could be small fixes so hopefully they will be included in a future update?

The new watch face on the S9P is nice, but I wish there were color options like for the other watch faces.

@bnorthrop You should be able to toggle off media controls from the setting (main page menu), if you do so they disappear entirely until you turn them back on. I did so, when I push the middle button I have no media control I am directly on the notification page.

However, to my knowledge is an “all or nothing” proposition; that is you can’t de-activate media control selectively while leaving them available exclusively for certain sports profiles.

@herlas hey there herlas - did you manage to send predefined message? I can’t see how to do this…

[DMytro]

I assume it’s by design, but still would like to mention:
Wouldn’t it be better if on the third screen (notification screen) a press of the middle button would trigger animation of going to the left instead of to the right as it’s done now? It would make an impression of lopped menu just as in the exercise.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos So, my wife has S3 Fitness, it didn’t received updates for a while. Did Suunto abandoned it?

@Dušan-Ković

SUUNTO 3/5/9

@giacomo-laffranchini Thank you! I guess I had not played around with the new functions yet.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@dušan-ković 3fitness is not Suunto 3 unfortunately

Now I need both hands to know what I can only see by raising my arm. This feature needs to be fixed

[becco981]

@suzzlo I have problem with all apps using Android (Google Pixel). No media detected by the watch.
Tried to disassociate the watch from the bluetooth from the Suunto app but no success.
Any ideas?

[DMytro]

@becco981 notifications are turned on, aren’t they? I mean on the watch itself.

[halajos]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos sure: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gf4iorx9yzh51v4/VID_20210930_093738.mp4?dl=0

[becco981]

@dmytro yes, notifications turned on on the watch

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@becco981 are notification access given to Suunto app ?

[becco981]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos yes. Soft reset solved the problem.

[Dušan Ković]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos so no more updates at all?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@dušan-ković since many years

FYI for the most here. Tomorrow another release patch will come. Fixes the issue with the S9P watchface on S9B having reactions to touch.

Is this fix coming today?

[Stefan Kersting]

@cosmecosta as I can see the dots on the S9P have different size according to how long your activity was. That is not the case on the S9B. Will the S9B get this design too?

This I do not know, when I tested my activities were very similar in duration. I saw in a video that the dots scale go from 10 minutes up to 2 hours.
Right now I’m not using that watch face, I want to use it but the problem with that watch face is that in the S9B, after the watch interaction timeout, the touch-screen is on and lights on the screen, you can’t interact with the screen but if you touch it the screen will light up.
