On their instagram you can also find a post about the bezel size, and the fact (known) that is not larger than other watches, although people say that it is the biggest.

@isazi Cool feature! Will this be possible with the S9P - maybe after some update? Or no hope there…?

isazi

@Simon from what I know today, running power will not come to previous models. Only S9PP and forward.

Simon

@isazi Oh, I only meant the Strava segments Suunto Plus widget …

isazi

@Simon oh that one is definitely coming to all older watches that support S+ guides!

Simon

@isazi Wuhuuu, nice!! Thank you

Frederick Rochette

@isazi and S+ stryd one?

isazi

@Frederick-Rochette support for external devices via S+ works already on the S9PP, will come to the other watches with next firmware.

@thanasis Think GPS and HR is not final. S9B made after introduction significant GPS improvements… I would say, it got far better than F5 F6…

isazi

@thanasis well, it is not a dual band device like the others, so we cannot expect the same performance in NYC. I think GPS on the S9PP is pretty good, probably the best Suunto so far, and it is also going to improve because Sony is still developing the GPS firmware, so there should already be an update with next software release.

thanasis

@isazi I don’t argue with that. My S9p is already amazing as well( for my type of usage of course)
Just saying that DC seems very negative with that

As far as I understood it/him (and he is not at all a Suunto-fanboy), he does not seem to be disappointed how the GPS works, but about the fact, that Suunto is more or less the only company which offers a completely new model WITHOUT this feature. So it seems that the watch is (technically) already “old” when released.
Just my two cents and what I understood.

@Shrek3k Im not sure its already behind. I had a COROS Vertix 2 that had dual and for starters, it didn’t seem that much better, but 2, it negatively impacted battery. COROS also recommends not using it unless you are rock climbing a large mountain face as that is the only time you really need it. My initial runs in an urban environment have tracked very very well with the S9PP. If I had to choose between dual band or battery life, I would choose battery life. I also created a followed a route with turn by turn on, and it worked flawlessly.

@mikekoski490 oh I heard multiple people testing Coros dual band (with the Vertix 2, I have no data about the new watches) and have not found it a game changer. On the other side, Garmin dual band seems to be very good. But I have also seen some tracks with Epix 2 and S9PP where the S9PP is better. Fact is, GPS is different every day and in every place, so comparisons are difficult.
