@egika
I usually have auto laps activated for skitouring and I have one datafield for laps avg vertical speed in m/h… this is somehow what I would like to see. but of course laps are every km and this never matches with flat and steep sections on the tour… but gives at least an indication.
I tried manual laps… but skitouring is so much more than having the eyes on the watch. sometimes I completely ignore it and hence wouldn’t push the lap button… and of course it would be cumbersome since I am one of the biggest lock button fans around here

edit: @Egika see, same thoughts

@freeheeler try the S+ hill climb. It will do the laps for you (they are not 100% precise, but better than nothing), and you can see the average speed in your custom screen.

[freeheeler]

@isazi
ah really? does it do the laps from S+ and hence show my pre-set avg vertical speed triggered by S+??
didn’t know that

…the only drawback: only one S+ at a time

[DMytro]

@freeheeler which ones do you usually use on ski tours?

Me: weather

[DMytro]

@egika hahaha, alright, non baro device here - what’s up with weather?

@dmytro
burner… but mainly out of curiosity on long term.

most values from hill climb are in my customized screens already, BUT since I’ve learned something today, I need to reconsider …and wish for multiple S+ screens to be active in parallel

[Egika]

@freeheeler or: an S+ builder! You design your own functions. Let’s make this a votable suggestion

[DMytro]

@egika I could finally realise the special relativity feature XD

[freeheeler]

@dmytro
you want to compensate the time the faster you go?

[DMytro]

@freeheeler yup, so I can save up time do do more sports haha. Which in turn would save me some more time.

@dmytro
S+ “albert’s edition”

@egika you get automatic laps. And you get a grade data field too

Any possibility of being able have grade available as a data field? Just had a look on the customisation and for whatever reason it’s not on there. I would use it

[isazi]

@miniforklift it is an open request with Suunto. So, it could happen. Not sure, but could.

[surfboomerang]

When will data become available as a datafield instead of a Suunto+ screen?

Grade is available for snowboarding but not for other sport modes. You have to add a Suunto+ screen. And since we’re limited to 1 Suunto+ screen at the time…

Could someone answer if the battery drain in idle mode after upgrading to 2.18 for S9 (non-baro) has been resolved in 2.19 and the drain is back to levels observed in 2.16?

[surfboomerang]

@skydancer Multiple people with different watches confirmed that battery drain is back to what it used to be.

I never had a battery drain issue before, however I do from this latest update

[DMytro]

Tried going for a little bit higher hills today, I think improvement is definitely there (S9 and S9B respectively):
Total ascent was 194m for S9 and 160 for S9B. Previously it would undercount by about 30% on small hills, now it overshoots but by a lesser amount. I actually think it gathers the excessive ascent whilst on the even terrain either than on the hill itself, so if one does hill repeats, results might be even better.
