@NickK they do have Annie as a pro athlete and she’s about the most bad ass kettlebell thrower around. Not that I imagine she does very many “sets x reps” though…

@Raippakari You are right, I had a bad timing bringing this argument. Fortunatly Suunto also starts to be competitive regarding price and features, so maybe we will still have reasons to buy Suunto Watches in the future. Just not the same like before.
With underwater route on the Ocean, value proposition of Race S & 9PP and the new Zonesense feature I think some Garmin and Coros customers will also be green with envy 😀

You see the goal left (time) only if you have no activities planned, otherwise the planned activities are shown.

“Cut text” is a known issue due to translations

@Jeffrey-Tillack said in S9B Vs Polar Grit X Pro:

@Mff73 maybe I’m missing something. Can you actually import a workout into SA? I don’t know how to do this? I’ve looked but don’t see how to make this work. Any advice welcome immensely.

If you have an iPhone, RunGap and HealthFit both directly import into SA. In addition, RunAlyze on the web will work as well.

@fluca agree on that especially when you look at the issues with the Fenix7/Epix2/Instinct2 - saying that they have already had an update or two which have fixed a lot of the major issues.

@isazi Noted. thank you~

@lohtse said in On a market for a new watch:

If you are UK I suspect due to the on going issues with regard to suunto and I do say I suspect because I have noticed a 25-40% drop in prices in past 3 months, you can pick up a very nice deal on Suunto watchs that come with 24months replacement/refund warrantee from https://uk.webuy.com/search?stext=suunto&inStock=1&view=list&inStockOnline=1

If the price drop is as I suspect(garmins have held their price so far on the site) it may show that retailers have no trust in Suunto and their future… THIS IS AN OPINION nothing more.

On Amazon the Fenix 5 Plus is 22% discounted the Suunto 9B 20% discounted. So I guess by your theory they have even less trust in Garmin 😂

On the site you have linked the Garmin is worth a bit more second hand but it’s RRP is also more so without looking at the figures they look quite similar for demand and supply.

I also said it was my opinion 😉

After several activities (cycling, walking, kayaking) downtown, riverside, countryside, in woods and on hills my result is that my Suunto watches are in the following ranking concerning the GPS accuracy:

Ambit 3 and Spartan Ultra at the same level S9 with GPS S9 with GPS+Galileo

For me there is no reason to upgrade from a Spartan Ultra or an Ambit 3.

Turn on GLONASS support and will be happy for you ;-))
More GLONASS only a grouping of Chinese satellites BeiDou ))

@skifun ridge sand color, looks really nice.

Closing this as watch feature

@skifun this is true. However with the Pace 2 they deleted the Trail Run activity from the original watch and many people weren’t happy. The Pace 2 (and any Coros watch) are great, but none are up the build quality of a Suunto.

@Brad_Olwin
same in switzerland… galileo and glonass don’t do much about accuracy

For real next-gen, I’d be looking for something where my wrist or palm is the screen.

Either implanted or projected.

Battery is going to be an issue if implanted though, especially for replacement and possible combustion 😁

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos thanks!

regarding the “I don’t trust maps altitude”… here’s one example I recall: I’ve planned a backcountry skitour in whiterisk platform. this is based on Swiss Topo maps. when I draw the route I don’t know how it looks in reality out there and due to the situation backcountry skiers all know I might go quite far from the “planned” track. the planning once said around 1’600m ascent but we ended up with around 1’900m…
the reason why I “don’t care”: you have to walk the distance anyway 😉

Unbeatable ambits, maybe worth give up on spartan/s line and build ambit with color screen?

Ambit4 with the old GPS antenna, new chipset, longer battery life, higher resolution color screen, and 5 physical buttons would be an absolute winner. Combining all the best features from both Ambit line and the Spartan line would be a bonus.

Ambit on steroids would be competition killer

Didn’t have to call support, tried again today and my code is working on the Charcoal. Assume the same would be true for the Blue. Now the big question. Pull the trigger or wait for the vNext whatever that happens to be? Ugh…

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos did you make a well placed phone call, or will we remain in mystery 🙂

@olymay you’ll always be welcome here.

@Armin-S
Yes I know, and in fact I disabled it too. It was just a test to understand if it reacts in some way to the last 10 secs countdown.

It works as expected on my SSS also with the latest FW
