Suunto 9 Peak Pro?

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?

I’m waiting for s9pp’s user guide

isazi

@Mff73 meaning that’s the only mode. No more choosing “GPS only” or “GPS+whatever”. That’s it, single mode, all systems enabled.

isazi

@lexterm77 just Stryd. It is already available in S+ store for testing.

Eager to see what it gives, thanks.
Few reviews are not saying that accuracy is that exceptionnal, just normal. Let see in my area, accuracy is quite personnal feeling and area/time dependant.

isazi

@Mff73 exactly what you say. What the all systems mode does is allow the watch to pick the best combination of satellites from a larger pool (at most 32). In areas with good visibility of the sky, it may not make any difference at all, in other areas it will depend on how many, and which, satellites are visible. As with everything else GPS related, it changes constantly because we move, satellites move, and management of the satellites changes.

I appreciate that users do not have to perform divination anymore to decide which system will they use, the watch decides.

exactely. My SSU is only glonass capable, and i tried it few times at the beginning, not sure to see difference, but maybe just not the right day/position, to see any gain.
Thus, it would have been divination, as you said, to enable it one day or the other.
Added the fact that on old watches, battery consumption for extra satellite system was increased.

Good, really good.

@isazi

Is power working in power walking mode when you trail run? (Steep low cadence) or it goes to zero?

If it does, who needs stryd complications

isazi

@lexterm77 it does not go to zero while walking, but I only tested power on roads, no trails. For trails, ask @Brad_Olwin

taziden

@isazi do you know if the values are somehow similar to those given by stryd or like shifted by 50W or something like garmin?

isazi

@taziden close to Stryd, of course not matching exactly because there is no running power standard.

taziden

@isazi yes, of course. Thx!

@isazi If “dez” is Desfit, he did review the Suunto 9 Peak. I’m not a fan of his channel but I do remember this review: https://youtu.be/q0xYbvZztIA

@taziden

I think Stryd does not account for springiness of legs but “metabolic” cost, but I think metabolic cost has much more variables that can be accounted with a motion sensor and they are assumed to be average.

I don’t think power will be standardized any time soon. You need at least volume, density, morphology, interaction between your feet and surface (metabolic cost of running on sand>solid ground). Vs load cell with cycling which is makes it so simple.
