      @zhang965

      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 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 🙂

        Ok which watch on your wrist? S9pp or?

                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 ?

                  Lol, if you think people overthinking about it, why you debate with me. Your débat is really important? Your Omega is really important?

                    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.

                        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).

                                  I agree, I have feature I’d like to have too, but bashing the watch for some minor details or because it’s not the watch primary purpose is pointless. And the way of saying it too could be smoother.

                                  And I’m not a Suunto fanboy, I purchased another brand to my wife, because other brand watch was better for her need.

                                    I guess I am shocked about how little has been changed in the positive way, from perspective that I am coming from SA3P after 7 Y of usage, and I would not like to repeat my self (have same opinion as Zhang) and I made my comments above what I don’t like.

                                    expectation, well it should first work properly

                                            thank you, if not I will just stay with SA3P as long is supported or else I will just use smartphone instead
