Suunto 9 Peak Pro?

@isazi said in Suunto 9 Peak Pro?:

Has the body resource bug where resources drop to 0 after stretching been fixed?
Also with the update for the S9P?

[Pavlas]

The ability to change the order of the screens is great and long requested. Isn’t this also planned for older watches? I don’t think this is limited by hardware. Or am I wrong?

[Frederick Rochette]

It would be nice with the S9P update to at least have the new activity selection or something equivalent. I think this should not be too complicated and does not require the new hardware. .

@Frederick-Rochette that’s what Dimi said.

@Pavlas I doubt it will come. I do not think it is a hardware issue, but may require rewriting part of the old interface if that one wasn’t built to be configurable like the new one, and that is a cost.

a cost that would significantly benefit the user base… so maybe a profitable decision, long term.

We already had the same discussion at the Spartan / S9 transition and unfortunately the story was not in the direction of the owners of spartan … it seems to be repeated S9 § / S9PP. These are business model choices, Suunto does not have the customer base of a Garmin

@thanasis from customer point of view for me this brings no real benefits. S9 and peak got so many features and accuracy updates over the years which are really useful. F6 did not get so much love in details as S9 imo. But efforts for only new graphics I would say not so necessary. But of course should a new watch with new processor get new UI with graphics… that’s whats happening.

I think It is a trivial feature in terms of implementation with significant benefits (the enablement/disablement of screens) and something that was there from ambit times as well. I don’t think it so big but the mentality of “we don’t invest in that because it involves costs etc” even though it is something that should (or was expected) to have been there in the first place . anyway, they can do anything they want … I am just sharing my view

[DMytro]

@thanasis tbh I find arguing on this pointless for two reasons:
We haven’t seen the code suunto uses for the old UI (which is at least 6yo btw) -> how can we judge if something is easy to implement
We aren’t market analytics having access to suunto sales/customer data -> how can we judge if implementing this or that is going to have a noticeable impact.

Not to say I think you or anyone else is not allowed to share their opinion of course:)
For me personally it’s all the same if my S9 gets edit function or not, I only use two screens anyways: watchface and exercise.

I can’t use S+ cadence coach. My S9 Peak bug on running activity.
I can’t see Stryd S+ and yesterday i can see Activelook but not today.

@thanasis we are trying to make these new settings come to you guys even if that means loosing something else.

We are not idle on this subject we are trying.

[Set_218]

Any infos about the wrist ohr on the s9pp? does it work with full sleeve tattoo arms or not ?
otherwise is there an update for the s9p in the pipeline about that big problem ?

Not sure if anyone saw this but DCRainmaker has a first look at the Suunto 9 Peak Pro up on his website:

@seanvk Thanks for sharing this article, this watch looks promising. I do hope Suunto throw a massive surprise to people with older watches and bring some news features out. I know probably wishful thinking

[Kurt68]

Everything sounds very promising and the fact that Suunto produces in Finland attracts me very much. I just have to think about whether I like a small watch or whether I’d rather wait for a larger one

[freeheeler]

@Kurt68
Suunto watches have never been available in different sizes, unlike phones or eg garmin where you had the choice with some compromises…
I support bigger watches entirely and always mention this at the end of surveys but it seems that the majority prefers smaller watches.

S9P/P are beautiful watches, why not scaling them, be proud and show off a bit

[A Former User]

@freeheeler think Suunto knew exactly what they did with peak. Maybe top wish before was to make a smaller watch. From athletic point of view, size is perfect. But of course are there some left who want a bigger watch for mountaineering or just for style. Would be very interesting how sales figures are over the years and between S9 and S9P. We will never know… but the smaller the group for bigger watch, the later it will be there or never… nobody knows… also 1.3 inch in peak future could be a possible way.

@BinoWorld-UK S3/S5/S9 are getting an update this month, with new features and bugfixes. They get 3/4 updates per year, since they were released years ago.
