Left vs right wrist?

[mikekoski490]

I was wondering if it matters which wrist you wear the S9PP on. From past experience with Garmin and Coros, each requires the user to indicate which wrist the device will be worn on, but Suunto does not have that option/choice in the settings.

Does it matter?

There used to be a left / right setting in previous watches, but it’s no longer present in S9PP.

@Łukasz-Szmigiel afaik it only was in smaller models like S5P only.
9 series never had this selection. The 5 series has a different step counting engine.

Ambit3peak, Spartan ultra, s9b, s9p user here, never heard about that

@Egika OK so it must be just an S5 thing.

It’s only an s5 s3 thing that actually accounts only for steps

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in Left vs right wrist?:

It’s only an s5 s3 thing that actually accounts only for steps

But why wrist will impact the steps counter ? It should ask you which leg you move first for walking.

@zhang965
Or maybe it should ask to put it on your ankle

I guess it has something to do with front/back movement(swinging)
