Suunto 9 Peak Pro?

Martin Vrska

@zhang965 Thanks for your quick reply and explanation. Yes, I can confirm that the wife’s S5 does not load steps like this, and I think your head-in-the-sand tutorial is an excellent idea. Thanks.

@zhang965 uhmmmm I’m usually running above 150-160HR, and rise to wake usually works well…but, sometimes during nights, I found imposible to trigger correctly… my point here is that, from my viewpoint, the functionality deppends in body position.
This is at least my impression

@Martin-Vrska I think that Suunto prioritized step counting with the 3, 7 and 5 series as the individuals purchasing and using those would be more concerned with step counts. The 9 series is I think is more focused on the athletes and at least in my sphere of friends not a single one pays attention to the steps, they pay attention to hours of exercise, intensity, etc.
I do not know if enhancing the step detection in the 9 series would affect other functions or if the development is deemed not sufficiently worthy.

Has the 9PP a resume later function like Garmin and Coros? Or is it coming soon? That would be great when you have a longer break.
When pausing sports activity your watch still uses gps and more battery i suppose?

This functionality is not present, but it has been requested.

Correct.

@isazi Hope Suunto will listen to our request!

Quick question: When restarting the watch (off -> on) the watch shows 02:00 AM / Jan 2nd and will only show the correct time after a sync with the App.
Is that a bug or a feature?

If I do not have my phone with me and need to restart the watch, I cannot use it or am I wrong?

Maybe in that case a gps fix it’s enough

@sartoric I’ll give it a try but it’s surprisingly the very first watch not “remembering” the time. Very odd.

@lessthanmore i’ve just tested on mine. You can set the date and time manually in the setting after reboot.
Skip the “sync with the app is recommended” screen, then general settings, there you have the Time/Date entry in the menu, and you need to deselect “Automatic time update via Suunto app” in order to set the date and time manually. It will try to get a GPS fix and then suggest to set manually.

@lessthanmore
for how long did you switch off the watch? is it possible that the battery was empty?
both my kids have an S3 and the sometimes don’t use them for several weeks. when the batteries die, the watch goes back to january.
I don’t think that a simple switch off/on should set time and date back…

On S9 Peak and S9PP, a reboot (stop / start) will reset the date/time unfortunately.

@taziden
did you switch it off and date and time were reset?

…edit: alright, thanks for the update.

Yes, just tested it right now and I’ve already seen this in the past on both models.

@lessthanmore
just checked, gps fix sets also time and date, without the phone

No full name in Strava…Only Suunto…
How long we still have to wait?

@Ultrawalker I think you need to address this question to Strava…

But what does it help in training?`

@Egika your friends know you have a new watch and they are jealous

A Former User

I also think it’s related to Strava as Runalyze is showing it properly.

Suunto is in contact with Strava about this issue.
