S9PP review from a non-target audience

I used the fantastic media controls today,
when I see this UI, I thought the middle button, which is close the NEXT icon, will be used to swtich music.
Guess what, the middle button is the only button which does nothing…

The middle button is also used to switch screens in activity. When using gloves or having wet hands, using touch screen is problematic.
sure, this is not a problem ,and I do understand it… however… if we do “need” to accept double functionality on music,options,etc…why would be a problem to have this …for us who train in dry conditions?
Or at least or additionally they could remap upper key (one key to start,pause,stop) instead of menu, deleting a log is already available under logs, this is also duplication
ahh…new thing, Timer Alarm (not checked wake up alarm) is so silent that I need really to bring the watch near to my ears to hear it…and I am not so old (I guess)
Security is perspective, I think the good way is to create a setting to enable/disable touch screen for sport.
Security is very perspective, my ex girl’s safeword was schneckenkuchen, I’m almost dead about hundreds times. - it’s not safe at all!

It looks like it’s the post to bash the s9pp.
My only problem with this watch is that there no new shiny flashy stuff. I had a s9b, it’s the same but smaller. And with a longer battery life (that’s the real new thing for me).
But that’s what we want, no ? We go to the menu, two or three buttons press later, you start your run or whatever session.
You end your session and 20 seconds later it’s on the phone, 1 minute later it’s on Strava.
I dont care about the little detail and you should not care too, it’s “just” a thing to track some numbers. And I think this watch is really good for this, especially since you need to charge the watch every two or three weeks.
ps : I run sometime in Montsouris, watch your left !

nono, you don’t understand what I’m talk about,
no no, S9pp is totally different than S9B, it’s not only smaller, longer battery life.
and no, it’s not a problem with just more click on button, it’s a perspective from a user who changed his watch regular.
If you only want track some thing, use your phone.
And I don’t run in montsouris… there are too many rats…real rats…

I wanted to comment something very similar but would have been using the word rant…
you’re absolutely right, I have the same use case and of course enjoy a nice piece of time device on my wrist

You use this watch as a daily, like a Galaxy watch or Apple watch ?
You are right, I don’t think the watch can compete, the only positive point are the battery life and maybe the robustness.
While I personally prefer the minimalist approach, every “smartwatch” functionality are basic. Message on watch, media control, etc, it’s here, but it’s not done for this, it’s a watch for outdoor activity, the interface is designed around this. I am tired after 30km and running, I can easily navigate. I navigate the menu while surfing, not problem. Kayak, paddle, whatever, the watch is reliable, that’s what we whant.
It’s like comparing a pickup and a Prius. None is better, just not designed with the same purpose in mind.
I agree about Montsouris and Paris in general, I avoid the region at all cost personnaly.

I don’t understand, are we talk about s9b or s9pp?

I have an old seamaster, for the same reason I use a Suunto, it’s reliable, robust and I don’t care about connected feature if I’m not in an activity.
I had S9B, S9P and S9PP, they are all the same for me. Same menu, same everything. I dont care about watchface, especially the new one, I like simplicity and readability.
Sometime I see people debating small details with too much passion. It’s a smartwatch, people should not overthink it.
Discuss it, ok, that’s why we are here, but ranting about small details, that’s not ok, people should take a step back and think. Is a watchface font really important ? Two misplaced pixels are really a problem ? -

It’s time to get bed, tomorrow you still need to run at Montsouris with some funny furry animals.

You don’t see the difference with discussing and ranting, that’s kinda sad.
Tomorrow it’s surf session, that’s important, so not rat, maybe jellyfish tho.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I actually my Suunto’s have better OHR in colder weather than my Forerunner 245 which seems to struggle badly for whatever reason.

well…you don’t see the difference between S9B and S9PP, that’s not sad, that’s tragedy… And I didn’t discuss with you from the beginning. please learn the difference

well I am not a fan boy, I like to take all my investment seriously and as free man I am also free to criticize… but beside of that in this post you will see at least 10 points on which suunto 9pp could improve, and that’s what matters

YES…now maybe you put your expectations very low, but please consider that other maybe would have a bit more quality, watch is not for free and for 499eur I do expect much more
-
@A Former User Genuine question, since you mention expectations. You talked about the design of the watch before. Especially the bezel and the sound when you press a button.
What were your expectations? The general watch design is, I believe, fairly clear before purchasing it. The sound when you press a button perhaps less, though it has been mentioned in reviews (already for the 9 peak).
