Suunto 9 Peak software update?
-
@isazi I bought one this year.
As I said, I needed to let some steam out.But I bought it because it was the best hat Suunto had to offer and was expecting it would have been the focus of development for the time being.
Now I can not just sell the S9P as the market for used Suunto watches does not exist in my country (tried to sell a used Spartan WHR for 80€ and no one wanted it). And can not justify to buy S9PP for the new functionalities.
But waiting eager for the S9PPP or S10 or SX.
-
@Stas-Varazhbit You could counter that with the S9 getting updates 4 years after it’s release.
I have no doubt that there will be features that won’t come to the 9 or 9 peak. But that won’t make them less functional than they are now.
Plus with the development of Suunto+ you won’t need a firmware update for added functionality.

@Stas-Varazhbit
I don’t worry about that too much. S9 series is relatively new, especially peak.
if it doesn’t receive new features, we still have more than what we paid for in the first place.and of course, if Suunto decides to focus on the pro only, it’s fair enough. it’s business and resource management.
I’m happy with my S9B and don’t miss much today
nice things like quick charge, multi gnss, better baro sensor position and much more are tempting, but totally hardware related. if I want that, I need to upgrade anyway

@Ketoohs
SX would be a nice name
-
@freeheeler until you think how it’s pronounced XD
-
@DMytro
yeah well…
…that’s life … and how it continues 
-
I am happy with my S9P but it is possible to increase the size of the characters.
For me in the middle of a split session, it’s very difficult to read the screen. -
@Frédéric-Fiandino I would like to have an additional fw too, just because I’ve recently bought S9P and would like to update it at least once
-
@gi0vanni one coming soon I guess, Strava segments are expected for Fall 2022.

@isazi thank you for making my day

I guess S9P, S9B, S9, S5 and S5P here will go quite in parallel having the same UI and seems that same processor as well.
I guess we will have the soonish update all of us. Later, if I recall well, we could receive another update on which seems Suunto is working on.
@isazi , does the S9PP need a firmware update to receive the Strava Live Segments or when the app is published it would be sufficient?

The S9PP has already Strava segments I believe. If not, it does not need a new update. For the other watches we need an update because Strava segments are built on top of S+ guides technology.

lol, it seem you forgot the sad story of Spartan. it was you who asked why spartan has no update as S9?

For me in the middle of a split session, it’s very difficult to read the screen.Have you tried designing your own sports mode with just 3 data fields (the ones important for you when sight becomes dim ;)). They are bigger then
-
@zhang965 Yeap! You are right! I had a SSU that didn’t received an update that Suunto developed but finally wasn’t released, but I don’t want to lower the hopes of the forum explaining old stories
With the SSU I could complain with updates, because lots of the updates were to add features that were already in the Ambits. With the S9B, we have received quite a lot of useful updates but I will be very happy if we receive some more. I read something of having same icons that in SA in a future update, we will see.
-
@isazi I couldn’t find it in Suunto web page nor in SA.
-
@cosme-costa the current S9PP firmware supports Strava segments already, so no update needed. The other watches need an update. There is a video on Strava segments from @Joaquin posted also in the forum.
-
@isazi yeah! I’ve seen the video, but my question is more in the way that probably is not yet “official” until all the watches have it, could be?
-
@cosme-costa I also believe Suunto will have a more general announcement when all watches support it, but should already work on S9PP.
