Comments about the vibration passed on to Suunto, just to let you know.

Thanks very much

@mountainChris Arrggg…still waiting for my Ti Slate pre-order delivery to Canada. Was supposed to come tomorrow by the DHL website just posted a big red ‘Exception Notice’ on delivery and its stuck in Amsterdam. Guess no trail running with Suunto for me this weekend.

@mountainChris matte titanium is perfect finish for my taste. Enjoy your watch.

Agree for vibration, it is a bit stronger but the vibration itself is loud, like cheap loud.

@krakra I always report to Suunto bugs and comments, even when they don’t affect me

But that should be written in huge letters on the box

I usually don’t read this part of the manual either
… sometimes it would be interesting to read the “why”

@freeheeler You are right, but I would have understood it as the typical general warning. I guess that some of the S9PP users will come from the S9P and may have spare cables. Being apparently the same, I would recommend to specifically warn about the risk of using the older cable or any other with strong magnets. Maybe it is not so difficult to do in the online web.

Sleep HR values extraordinary high, especially in the beginning where is deep sleep. I think there could be something wrong. Not comparable with S9B. I also have interruptions during sleep. Graph shows gaps. Which value is displayed in warming up phase of sensor in HR widget? Average from last measure? Is this counted in? Think this will be corrected. Still early days with S9PP.

The number on the widget is always jumps up in the beginning in first 1-2s and after 10-20s it falls to correct values…

@Efejota
fully agree!
if you can damage a product with an accessory from the same supplier, to me (personally!) it would be mandatory to either put a huge warning sign on the accessory itself or better: design the new interface so it doesn’t accept the potentially dangerous accessory.
that’s my own view from machine engineering perspective

edit: it is solved by software, as we have learned only short time later

@freeheeler i ineed grap old s9p cable and use it but i got error on watch that i should use original cable. Did i damaged battery, or any other part of watch. 🤯

[sartoric]

@krakra
I suppose you didn’t, as you didn’t get any other error message

[isazi]

@Efejota there is NO risk for the user. If they connect the old charger, a screen comes up saying something like “CHARGER NOT COMPATIBLE REMOVE”. And that’s it.

[isazi]

@krakra no that error message is there for this exact reason, to let you know that you cannot charge with the old cable.

@Dušan-Ković The strong magnet charger for the S9Peak can brick the 9Pro so don’t use it. The 9Pro won’t accept charging from that adaptor for the reasons @isazi described.

We have two conflicting opinions.

Are magnets a problem or not? Will the watch brick?

[isazi]

@Dušan-Ković what two conflicting opinions, @Brad_Olwin said exactly that yesterday, that if you connect the S9PP to the old cable it will not charge and give you a warning.

[Dušan Ković]

@isazi He also said that watch will brick = die - not be usable again. Than you said there is NO risk for the user

[isazi]

@Dušan-Ković I said there is no risk because the watch will tell you that it cannot charge with the old cable. Suunto put in place this software measure to avoid people using the old cable, so people will not use the old cable (because it cannot charge your new watch) and there will be no harm.

Technical explanation:
The GPS chip in the watch could be damaged Edit: rendered unusable in the case of:
Charger with strong magnet attached
AND
Charge current flowing.

As the watch is detecting the old charger it will show the warning and at the same time not start the charging current to flow. So everything is safe.
