What do you expect from the next update?

@rooldaa He sold it because he would rather have his personal data transmitted to the NSA than to the CCP. Just kidding.

@Mountain @cosme-costa that would be the same for me.

@cosme-costa I said I was joking because I didnāt want the Garmin cult fanboys to come and hassle me. I am scared
-
@Mountain But it must be admitted in all fairness that despite the complexity of Garminās software and the number of models on the market, its errors do not look as bad as in the case of the very primitive Suunto software, where very serious problems appear with every update.
Itās a bit like comparing the software of an Android smartphone with some Nokia 3310. Sad but true.

@maszop Iām sorry, but I completely disagree with this statement. I donāt want to wear my watch at night. I donāt want to wear it 24/7. I also donāt want to measure every aspect of my existence just so Garmin can spit out tons of graphs to tell me whether Iām doing well or if Iām sick. I really donāt appreciate this intrusion into my privacy. I donāt track my sleep, I donāt track HRV, I donāt care about it at all, and my Suunto is an incredible, precise tool that leaves me alone, allowing me to use it guilt-free, just for the pleasure of being in nature with metrics of unparalleled accuracy. Add to that the latest ZoneSense algorithm, which is now my main tool when I train, and Garmin becomes obsolete. Now, I respect everyoneās opinion, but in my case, I appreciate every day the work done by the Suunto teams to improve the technology that supports me in the sports I love.

@Mountain yeah, but you didnāt understand above post. We donāt need all that stuff, but if you get 10 bugs out of 50 features it looks bad compare to 10 bugs out of 500 features regardless of usability of those features.

How bad Suuntoās errors look or which are the serious errors? I mean, Iām still recording all my runs, rides and strength sessions, with all the accuracy and metrics. I still can use maps and follow routes.
That you canāt track your sleep is bad (solved with a soft reset from time to time) but that you canāt start a GPS activity and then you enter in a boot loop, what it is? An do not sell that Garmin solved it quickly because the if they didnāt solve it quickly the watch becomes a brick.

@Likarnik Which are these 450 features that āthe otherā have over Suunto? And hey, I have had Garmin and now I have Coros (both bike computers) so I can compare or check.
Anyway, as others say, to many un-useful features in my opinion, that lot of times stops us from advancing or enjoy our hobbies.
-
@Likarnik Not tracking everything makes my watch almost bug-free. Besides, bugs are part of tech products, Garmin included, with pages of forums detailing unresolved bugs that remain on watches, which become obsolete every two years to push people to overconsume. Anyway, Iāll stop here as Iāve made my point: not a huge fan of Garmin, to say the least.
-
@Mountain Thatās right, Iāve been using Suunto for many years for this reason (Ambit/Traverse times) and I donāt regret it, but objectively speaking, Suunto has much simpler software and there are plenty of serious bugs during updates.
-
@cosme-costa The last few updates - inability to sync with phone, battery drain, no WiFi connection, OHR turning off, to name a few - each of them could be called a serious bug.
-
Iām a new, happy owner of the Suunto Vertical (used Suunto 9 Peak Pro and Garmin Forerunner 255 before). The two most important things Iād like to see are:
-
An āexercise onlyā mode for the raise-to-wake feature (my Suunto 9 Peak Pro had this, but it was removed
). -
Perfectly centered hour and minute text when the watch is inactive on most of the watch faces. The watch faces are very good, but some of them look ābrokenā when seconds disappear.
-
-
In new update want sync weather via WiFi - it is very sad see every morning empty weather info and open app just for gathering this data
Will be great, if also trainings will sync though WiFi, not only BLE connection. -
@Kosta I suspect that the active WiFi module is much more power-consuming and that is why Bluetooth is always used.

@maszop said in What do you expect from the next update?:
inability to sync with phone
Not true, at least on Android
battery drain
Not true, at least on the SV
no WiFi connection
Acknowledge by Suunto and if you read some post solved in the future posts. In my case I havenāt had problems, I been able to add a wifi net and download maps.
OHR turning off
Acknowledge by Suunto, and seems that is not easy to solve. they have given a solution (in my opinion they should have given it sooner)
Do not get me wrong, I would like to to have my Suunto bug free, but sometimes this happens. They know about it and they say that they are working on it, in my experience I have to believe them will solve it.

Yes please!!! Iāve asking for this , here and in the Spanish forum.
I would also like to see that when you use the stopwatch and use the main screen after 30seconds, when the screen autoblocks, that the stopwatch is still visible.

Oh dear, these are also my 2 little things that I would love to be fixed.

The problem is only partially solved. A lot of users (including me SV) still have this problem with battery drain.
I donāt want to comment on the rest because someone here is probably out of touch with reality. Just look even here on the forum at the problems with the last few updates.

Hi everyone ,
hereās my whishlist for coming upgrades :Map :
- When ruler is on, it would be nice to also have an option for :
a) azimouth (degrees from the ruler line tonorth);
b) coordinates (in current format) of the actual point marked from cursor;
c) Optionally save theese coordinates in a waypoint; - Add more zoom out (possibly to 10 km and more) ;
Backlight and flashlight :
- Option to a āMilitary modeā with red backlight that donāt degrade the night vision .
Notifications :
- Double the available answers;
- Allow to combine/concatenate multiple answers before sending (intronucing a ācommitā on the answers list) .
Watch faces :
- As someone said, not more but just better;
General use :
- A fast key (a shortcut) to rapidely mark a waypoint (MOB-key) .
Timer/stop watch :
- A graphic circle that fill or emty as time go .
Hi, iāve just discovered, almost after a year, that all features i asked for at point 1) of my wish list are been sostantially implemented :
I donāt know in what updated they were introducted 'cause i canāt find any mention in change log or even user manual (both italian and english) .
Anyway, if you, like me dindānt notice , it is now possible mark a waypoint directly from map when the ruler is shown . Scrolling the menu it shows some new (at least for me) option :- marking / deleting a ruler-point. On my watch seems there are up to 10 ruler-point marcable.
- reading on screen the total distance of the ruler-pointās route .
- saving as a poi the last end of ruler (and then , indirectly, getting bearing of it using bearing navigation).
Iām really sorry if all you yet were aware of this. Hope not been boring (i just found a post on raceās section of this forum whitout any reply, so certanly iām not really the only user that noted thatā¦)
