Suunto 9 Peak Pro?

TrailEyes

Apologies if this has been asked and answered, but does anyone have insight into why the major YouTubers (Dez, Chase, etc.) haven’t put out reviews of the S9PP yet? I saw DC Rainmaker mention that he got his embargo dates confused, so that explains why he missed yesterday, but he doesn’t have it up yet either at this point.

I know Suunto’s parent replaced (or re-evaluated) some of their PR agencies worldwide since the acquisition, so maybe there wasn’t as much effort into sending out samples as they’ve had in the past?

@isazi is it possible to set mor alarms than on my S9?

Id Like to have a shortcut for starting activitys. Most of the time I do roadcycling. So it cold feel comfortable to start the trainingapp by less buttonpushingactivity.

Im really exited about 9PP. But I’ll wait a litte. S9 still works fine and may be all the new Software (Suunto+) comes more in direction to cyclers like me.

@TrailEyes I do not know for sure, I would suspect that if Ray missed the embargo all clicks are gone, and if he has time will post the in-depth review the 25th when the watch will actually be shipping. Ray always says that he doesn’t review pre-production software, so that’s my guess.
Dez never reviews Suunto products, and I don’t follow Chase

Number of alarms is the same.

I am with you! During development we tested a long press to get directly from the home screen to the start screen of the previous activity, basically how the S7 works. I loved it, but it was just a test and not included in release software. I will keep pushing to have it, it is so useful!
However, compared with the S9 you already save one click. Upper button brings you to the list of sports already.

Sure, if I had to buy a new watch I would definitely buy the S9PP today, but my S9P is still perfectly fine so I am not going to do that for now. And S9 is still supported with updates for now (I have zero idea for how long, just know that we are testing already next, i.e. not October, software).

Just watched DCs pixel watch review and saw this:

He is testing S9PP just no review yet, also pretty bad OHR compared to chest strap (S9PP - blue line).

Seen this one yesterday

Dez did a couple of suunto reviews, but then focused on other tools, brands

Look at the whole picture. pretty accurate. Last interval, you never know how the watch was worn and what disturbance did happen… Difference of hands used…

Maybe also future firmware updates…

This is highly personal. For example S9P did for me a great job while running (same values nearly as smart sensor), hiking unfortunately not. Excited to test S9PP… Btw what are the physical changes in OHR Sensor? Depth of measurement?

isazi

@mountainChris the S9PP uses a new version of the LifeQ sensor. It works very well for me, but again, OHR is very personal.

@isazi very personal indeed. My case is the opposite to @mountainChris, for instance

TrailEyes

@isazi Thanks!

@mountainChris I somehow missed entire graph, my bad. Seems fine, still being wonky on some places.

I never managed to get either S9 or S9P to have proper HR. Tried a lot of methods and watch positions. In the end got OH10, and Verity Sense after that.

@Dušan-Ković

OHR very promising in this review

Does running power care of wind and for sure ascent?
Is it only available for running activities or also hiking, mountaineering?

A Former User

Can we have lap ascent data field?

Kowalski

There is a GPU in the watch and nobody asked the real question :

How many FPS for Doom ?

isazi

@mountainChris I believe it is only for running/trail running sports mode.

Is it possible to show both power data (wrist and stryd) on same activity?

isazi

@lexterm77 I don’t know. Probably not because only one source is picked for native power, however there is the new Stryd S+ app and it may work with that.

I read here and there, that the new GPS capability of having 4 GPS system working at the same time, is “only for one mode”.
What does it mean ? One sport mode ? One battery mode ? else ?

@isazi

Is this app taking only data from stryd or is it combining it with watches sensors?
