More watchfaces
-
Suunto, give us more watchfaces for the Vertical!
The number is now even smaller than for S9Baro!
There is no watchface with barometric pressure trend at a outdoor adventure watch!
Also no watchface with heart rate!
Give us customization. My 3year old (half price of vertical) Garmin Instinct can do much better in this.Sorry, but this can´t be that difficult.

@markusoutdoors the change in the user interface with S9PP und Suunto Vertical was the introduction of widgets.
You configure the order and enable/disable what you want.
And there you have it all: heart rate, weather, barometric trend, sun&moon. -
@Egika it seems to me that this is about watchfaces not widgets
-
@aroo7 I mentioned the widgets since they took over the displays we had in watch faces before.
Was trying to explain, that those specific sun/moon or outdoor watch face is regarded as not being needed anymore with the introduction of widgets.Should have made myself more clear.
-
@Egika I partly agree…
Having those widgets (semi-configurable) is great but sometimes I would like to look at data with just a glance on the watch. Not fiddling with buttons and swipes. -
@Egika Sure, and these widgets are great but as @surfboomerang mentioned to display them it requires “action”. Being honest, the number of available watchfaces in Suunto is embarrassingly low. It seems strange.
-
@Egika partly agree also that there is not need for all kinds of data fields and complicated complications. BUT still the watch faces should be simple, nice looking with some complications (i.e. weather, steps, active kcal) which are used OUTSIDE activities in a daily life. At the moment many of the watch faces are just… well ugly (i.e. the first and vertical seconds are disappearing after inactivity and then the hhmm is not aligned in the middle, fonts are very strange in some). IMO it just about the overall look&feel+usefulness of the watch and that could be improved by giving a little bit of love to WFs
Ofc these are just personal preferences.p.s. many of Garmin stock WFs are also fugly and many complications useless. But there at least an option to build your own so it is not that big of a deal.
-
ugly or not changes with the person looking at it.
I know that the way the complications are handled is currently under development.
What I don’t know is, if there are other basic layouts coming with this… -
If Suunto is looking for watchface designers, I’m sure we’ll get a few people here happy to also volunteer
-
I’d really like the option of being able to see the seconds all the time rather than having to click a button to see them… and they they disappear again after a short time
-
I have a minor cosmetic issue with a watchface. The attached watchface used to have hollow see-through hands in S9B and that’s how the preview is shown in Vertical. But the actual hands are solid and often hiding details of the complications. I’d prefer the original hands. Anyone else agree?
-
@BrunoH I like your feedback but I disagree. I prefer the solids because they’re easier to read at a glance.
As a workaround it may be interesting to have the obscured complications show up as an inverted color. E.g. the auto inverting cursors in windows:
but maybe it looks even more untidy then… -
FWIW I think the solid hands look better
-
@MiniForklift agree with you ! Easier to read !
However, I would love to see some new designs !it’s a cool way to “think you have another watch” -
Ja ein paar mehr Watch Faces wären schon fein. Aber es geht ja auch so.

I would like to have something simple like this:
this is the way!

Let’s do it!
I’m not a graphic designer and these could be a lot better than these concepts. For the most part, these are variations of existing Suunto watchfaces. These could be improved a lot. I personally lean towards cleaner faces with good hierarchy. I also would love an analog face with the sunlight indicator. Don’t need to see my steps or training hours etc. And I sorely miss the gorgeous Suunto red triangle from my A3P.
Less is more.
-
All of these are something that I would prefer to use compared to the current ones. Simple and clean.
-
What we also need is the weather complication on all current watch faces. This should’ve been an option at launch. I’m stuck with the default watch face, but that one triggers my OCD when the seconds disappear from the screen.
