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.

@stefan-kersting the size is different on S9B also…

@nseslija not here…

“Improved sync speed with Suunto app”
So, I had to use a different phone prior to this watch update, and when paired to my S9P, I had to go thru 61 activities and wait for them to be synced to SA, got the watch update, then yesterday switched phone again (got it repaired) and SA didn’t sync again like that, it went fast, is it related to this improvement in new watch update?

Thx

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos well, I like that bug. I thought that it’s a nice new feature and really liked it - just touch the screen to light it up even when it’s “locked” .
I personaly hope, that this “bug”, turns out to be a “feature”…

[Stefan Kersting]

@nseslija ok now it works. Had two activities of 1,5 and a little below 2 hours. But now I had one over two hours and there’s a difference

[Stefan Kersting]

@cosmecosta just had an activity of more than two hours and now I can see that the dots have a different size

[tomahawk5000]

Hi, does white background on watchface is natural as black for battery consumption?

[isazi]

@tomahawk5000 it should not affect battery life.

[Milan Šádek]

@cosmecosta try it at night

[wakarimasen]

Really like the fat/ carb burner info

[DMytro]

@wakarimasen I hope suunto will release a nutrition article that would explain how to take advantage of this s+ feature soonish.

[Theo Lakerveld]

Did I discover a bug? It seems that pool swimming activities show up correctly as swimming in the Suunto app. Though after syncing with Strava, it’s showing up as cycling with the auto pause/laps screwed up.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@theo-lakerveld if that happens you have removed the health data permissions from the Strava app

[lorenzo12375]

At this point we have so many Suunto plus that it would be nice the possibility to activate two of them at once

Hi all,
i have got a question:
I updatet my S9 yesterday to 2.18.18 and after syncing watch and phone/app, the suunto app tells me that there is an update for my watch. The provided link is
https://www.suunto.com/de-de/Support/Software-Updates/Versionshinweise/suunto-9-software-updates/

stating that 2.18.20 is available (since 28th of September, see screenshot form website above). I am a bit confused …?
