S9 is the top model

@SlaSh said in S9 is the top model:

@Brad_Olwin I disagree that suunto is having the best fitness watch, how fitness watch can be introduced without history of the fitness, like weight, hr and etc… It is half baked watch and long way till the best

Ahh, I did not say best for a reason, you understood me as I said excellent, clearly not best…I agree with your points! For those that start a fitness routine they often want to lose weight or improve on a measure. For example VO2 max. For this people want history and I think history is a good thing. Needs to happen. The adaptive training is s feature that makes the watch excellent among others.
I did say premiere Endurance for the S9 and would stand by that meaning the best.

Yes! I think, for the S3F as a fitness watch, history of weight is a must. For the S9 for power athletes certainly not necessarily.

@Armin-S In disagreement. Even chinese watches have that. Most of brands have it. For Suunto integrate V02max in Spartan and S9 series is not need to buy algorithm from Firstbeat like they did for S3F. Is a known formula, simple as:

• VO2max=15*(HRmax/HRrest)

If they don’t want to put this, no problem. Give us apps builder and we make a .json app for watch.

New software for Suunto 9 today, v 2.1.64

[A Former User]

any news on the changelog?
Someone posted new firmware for S3f.
So is it a bugfix release?

[omunoz]

Hi,

Copy from Facebook “(Español) SUUNTO talks: Run4IQcommunity”

Update Suunto 9 2.1.64
ONLY FOR THE FIRST 5000 USERS.
The rest (if all goes well) would have its update in the coming days.
Main changes:
-Update GPS chip, it improves the distance and the track.
-Update of the FC sensor, the measurements have improved appreciably walking, especially when we stopped and we went ahead and the pulsations increased exorbitantly, now this is corrected and they are really good.

Just test it and zombie notification is still here

Thanks @omunoz !

What’s the ‘FC’ sensor? I think that means accelerometer…

I miss the days of the Ambit firmware updates when they wrote a detailed text file of what they’d changed on my hardware. Quite rude, to my mind, to come into my house, change something, tell me they’ve changed something, and not tell me what…

I guess it’s the (O)HR sensor, in spanish

[Ze Stuart]

@sartoric thanks, I was thrown by ‘walking’. Now I think of it as OHR, that’s a bug I saw when using it recently, where I had a ~200bpm HR while jogging gently. Well that’s lovely if that’s been fixed.

[SlaSh]

@Ze-Stuart test jogging then confirm it is fixed

[Ze Stuart]

Just for you, @SlaSh, I will forgo my chest strap when I jog to the pool and back this evening. But not in the pool. I’d feel naked without it.

When it will be fixed?

[Brad_Olwin]

@Ze-Stuart @SlaSh I do not think this is fixed yet. Not for me.

It’s not fixed, i have tested it…i have asked when it will be fix…

[Ze Stuart]

@renton82 @Brad_Olwin you saved me from bad data in this most critical 10-minute piece…

[Brad_Olwin]

@Ze-Stuart Good to know…I think that Suunto is having issues getting this fixed because of Valencel, not Suunto…they certainly know about it.

Hopefully true. Running tracks are good but my hiking tracks have been pretty average thus far (even after changing from the default recording and tracking intervals).

[Ze Stuart]

@Brad_Olwin that’s a good point.
