What do you expect from the next update?

[outdoorrama]

The solution to the virtually non-functioning turn-by-turn navigation is long overdue.

[Iggge]

Just a small reminder to Suunto, but add the ability to lock the watchscreen.

I’m I the only one who need to restart my watch to have the heart rate working again since the last update? I had to restart it 2 days ago and now again, there is no green light under the watch.

@darxmurf I don’t have this issue. WHR works as expected.

[Matúš]

@darxmurf, some users have experienced this behaviour before the last update (at least, I am able to say this from my side, as 9PP user…): the OHR sensor was stopping during the night (no flashing light), so a soft reset was requested to reinitialise it.

After the last update, this has never happened to me again.

[darxmurf]

@Matúš hum I just left the watch 1h on a flat surface and it lost the heart rate. So, there is something here, like an auto disable.

@outdoorrama
Yeah, that would be Great

It should be possible to lengthen the kilometers of the trail of breadcrumbs.

Yeah, besides the sync issue (https://forum.suunto.com/topic/10512/unable-to-connect-sync-vertical-with-suunto-app-since-last-update/174) which is hopefully fixed soon the breadcrumb issue (https://forum.suunto.com/topic/10325/uncomplete-track-during-activity/54) imho is the most urgent one (considering vertical to be a mountaineering watch).

So many issues concerning even the basic functionality of the watch, hmmm… let’s see and hope for the best.

@ortles update today now failed… https://forum.suunto.com/topic/10653/software-update-2-33-14/7

It seems that I successfully managed to update on 2.33.14.

My watch shows 2.33.14 as current status of firmware. Sync seems to works now. For the moment it’s good to see that vertical seems to be back in the game

@ortles
I think @GiPFELKiND is not referring to the success of installing the update on his watch, rather a comment about the content
I have picked up this is a hotfix, not a planned update.
even a planned update does not contain all the bullets of our wish lists

[Carlos97atz]

But, I have a question. Are there people on the Suunto team who actually read all our requests, ideas or bugs? It’s just curiosity.

Because if not, what good are all our ideas and requests here?

[darxmurf]

okay, updated my vertical with the last update and it looks like the HR sensor is fine now.

your IKEA table now has a flat ECG ? RIP ?

Bug fixes and stability improvements.

I would only add:

• enable touchscreen on altitude profile display when navigating a route to be able to switch between remaining ascent / descent (even if you only enabled touchscreen for map only). I suggest to modify touch screen option like this: map & altitude profile display only / enabled / disabled. An other option would be to automaticaly enable touchscreen when altitude profile is displayed (when navigating a route).
• add remaining ascent / descent to the list of data we can select in custom sport mode

[freeheeler]

@Carlos97atz
yes and no.
yes, because what we post here finds its way to the developer team.
and no, to destroy the dream of having the forum as a to-do list for the developer team.

it’s neither up to us nor the developers to define what will be implemented. it’s strategic, as with every other product in the world.

I think surveys have more weight for customers as they generate a good picture that can be analysed properly.
again, that’s not Suunto insights, it is not a secret that this is applicable for any product

[darxmurf]

@Mff73 I did not expect much more from an IKEA expedit

@maszop said in What do you expect from the next update?:

Currently, Lap is useless for most activities.
So in reality we only have 2 buttons — this is definitely not enough in this type of watch (Garmin has 5 of them for a reason).
Ideally, it would be possible to pin a screen/widget or some function to this button.

I use the lap button in most of my activities, I do not find it useless.

1. Most of my trail runs are S+ Guides from TrainingPeaks with a variable warm up and cool down requiring a lap button to advance
2. During SkiMo lap button measures uphill time, transition time, and downhill time to get stats for these.
3. With no structured intervals I use the lap to hit summits of hills I run often to see if I am improving over a season on uphill and downhill speed.

Not at all useless for me.

[maszop]

@Brad_Olwin In fact, apart from various types of running/racing, this is still not a very useful function for other people.

Let me just remind you that Suunto watches have several dozen sports modes, and all the software is made only for runners, without any possibility of changes. Lap button, autopause, too sensitive altimeter and so on.
