maybe Suunto thinks we’re planning ahead?
they give us all proper tools to do so

I don’t think the issue of all this is about planning in general. God help me if I decide to only rely on my watch for all my navigation needs

To me the crux is I feel watches in this segment (9B,P,PP+) shouldn’t require a phone as a gateway to basic GPS functions. Especially one that was previously implemented.

I completely understand why features are sometimes removed and it may not make sense to the outside world. I’m a creative director at a product design agency in Canada and I’m involved in these all the time. All we’re trying to do here is offer feedback on those decisions and try to mention our needs. There’s no reason for us to have arguments or dismiss people’s feedback, life is more important than whether or not I can punch in coords in my wrist. We’re all spending time on this site because we all feel strongly about this brand and we’d like to feel even better about it.

Until I can afford to build my own watch brand, giving feedback is all we can do. Maybe the developers leaving Twitter will be able to help with the new compnay, called Suunthree?

I don’t know what’s on Suuntos roadmap and I don’t know why it was once possible to create POI in the watch and now it isn’t. I don’t know why at one point in MC we could sort our entire activity list by all metrics and now we can’t.
I am not against having the option to create POI’s on the watch. I just shared my opinion that there are ways to do it. I fully understand that there are situations where it’s not possible to use the phone for it.
Since we don’t know Suuntos plans, we can suggest and wish, and a lot of requested stuff has made it to the watches eventually. But they decide and we need to accept their strategy and should not be disappointed over a feature that’s not precisely working as each individual want it to

edit: and I hope you mention your suggestions also in surveys, not only here
