@Łukasz-Szmigiel Saw it yesterday and was pleasantly surprised!

@Łukasz-Szmigiel After the update I haven’t recharged the battery yet but the new charging screen looks way improved. Kudos!

[isazi]

@gi0vanni yes the HR graphs will be improved.

@Piotr-Grygiel ouch.

As of yesterday the weather widget on the watch has stopped working and it says the same: sync with SA. Sync doesn’t solve it. Haven’t tried rebooting as the reboot didn’t solve it the first time. Do I have to reinstall the SA?

[isazi]

@Highlands are you sure you have location permissions for the app?

[Highlands]

@isazi Thanks for chipping in. I hadn’t paid attention that I had disabled that setting.
I guess, this means when I’m in the mountains without a phone, I won’t have correct data on the widget?
Now the widget works as expected.

@Highlands said in Suunto 9 Peak Pro?:

Correct. You need some online connection to update the weather forecast. How else should the watch know…?
Offline in the mountains you still have the barometric pressure trend to judge yourself.

Now the widget works as expected.

Great!

[Highlands]

@Egika Totally makes sense.
When you open the weather widget on the watch, does the watch starts instant sync with the SA and refreshes instantly the data in the widget or you see unrefreshed data in the widget and in order to get refreshed data, first you need to unlock the phone and refresh the SA?

[isazi]

@Highlands the widget syncs every now and then, and stores future forecast (not sure if 12, 24, or 48 hours).

[Egika]

@Highlands maybe you want to have a look first.
Then you will see that the widget next to the weather forecast also is showing the time elapsed since last sync.

[Highlands]

@isazi I think I figured how it works - refreshing the SA refreshes the data in the widget as well but just going in the widget doesn’t readership the data in it. All in all, the widget works very well for me. Only have to figure how often it refreshes by itself if I don’t touch the SA.
@Egika Yes, when you scroll in the widget first thing you see is the time of sync. In my upper post I meant to ask whether if just going through the first page of the widget refreshes data but I wrote when you go in the widget. So, my bad.

[Highlands]

For the last update of the data in the weather widget it took a bit more than two hours. Then it got updated by itself without opening the SA.
Is it possible to send a sync request from the watch to the app without opening the SA?

[isazi]

@Highlands the watch syncs itself, you do not need to open the app, but the forecast is not updated every minute There are hours passing before a new update is available.

[Highlands]

@isazi I’m not expecting the watch to update the widget every minute. My question is, is there a way to tell the watch to update the widget without opening the app.

[isazi]

@Highlands this is what I already said. The watch updates on its own when talking with the app, no need to open the app. If you trigger a manual sync opening the app, then of course the forecast is also updated. Also, the data itself is not updated every minute because weather forecasts do not work like that, update time from weather models are 3 hours or more, so there is no need for you watch to update more often than that.

[Highlands]

@isazi All this is more than clear to me. What I don’t know is, is there a way I can manually sync from watch to SA.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Highlands the widget always displays latest forecast and there is no way to force sync from watch. Although in normal conditions, it shouldn’t update less often than once per three hours.

It’s typically around 40 minutes in my case.

[Highlands]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel Thanks a lot for this clarification. Hopefully they add force sync from watch to SA in the next update(s).
With my short Suunto experience, I appreciate any info I get from you, guys.
