@isazi Yep! You beat me to it.

@nickk I am completely sold tbh. And yes I am using SS

@nickk typically people set the AT at end of Z4 and most coaches etc recommend the same. Of course you need a test to know that but then again you need a test to know max hr etc etc

Media controls FTW! Can they be accessed from the exercise mode? New watch face is meh

Any info on new altitude algo?

Great update.
I love seeing new things on the watch.
I have noticed 2 functions that I have not seen commented:

“Training” field in all watchfaces.
Now, when I touch the screen, the light turns on (even though the clock is locked), is it a mistake? Can it be deactivated?

@auxina watch ?

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Re: Sapiens and BG. Off-topic. I don’t know. I’ve just had two 20-milers spaced by an easier week. Exact same setup in terms of daily routine coming in, comparable training load, same setup in terms of hydration and energy during the runs, very similar flattish routes with similar elevation gain. The only difference was the first run was mostly in the open, with sunny weather and little wind, 23°C (probably more toward the end). The second was at 14°C, mostly in the shade, with the wind picking up later in the run. In both cases I didn’t drive my pace and just went by the feel.

Now, not only the first run was considerably slower, it felt way, way worse, and not just at the end, but throughout. I don’t think my blood glucose had much to do with that. And funny enough, gels didn’t seem to help either.

My personal pet theory is: your core temp rules. Once your internals start to boil you might as well pump yourself full of sweet-and-sour sauce instead of GU, that would hardly make a difference.

@nickk well if you take a gel in less than 1.5h i think it does the opossite effect. Regarding heat , I am not sure. I perform better there.

Its more related to finding out when you are well fuelled and when you need a gel at (z1-z5) vs Z4-5 workouts

I have rushed.

The “Training” field, that is, training hours per week, appears in some watchfaces.
The display turns on with the typical S9 Peak watchface
(It is normal)

@auxina does also the touch work (ie navigate on the menus) or only it brights up when you touch it ?

auxina

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos
Sólo se ilumina.
El reloj está bloqueado pero se ilumina al tocarlo.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos
ups!
It just lights up.
The watch is locked but lights up when touched.

Yes, it is active also during exercise.

Chronbu

@chronbu Does anyone had the same issue as mine ?

Application says “Software package downloaded” but there is no update on the watch itself

isazi

@chronbu have you also tried to reboot your watch? Also, if nothing works wait until tomorrow cause the watch will auto update at night if the update is loaded.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos love to see the music controls - was a small thing that I missed losing when I moved from garmin vivoactive (original) to Suunto.

Chronbu

@isazi Hello, yes i tried to reboot the watch. I’ve also tried to reset all the settings on the watch.
Then I’ll wait for tomorrow.

Is there any way to force an update on the S9P (with Suuntolink for example) ?

Just checked… beautiful
