        @zhang965 it doesn’t help. sometimes I wait a few minutes after the green arrow appears.
        I did a factory reset and it didn’t help.

          @skifun Hi! I wonder if you have already tried the hard reset to solve the issue with the “black tint”. Did it help?

          Cheers!

            @Artyrekb I do not have this problem with my S9PP and @skifun I like this watch I bought one for me personally. The small size and battery life are perfect for multiday trips and the ultras I run. I am quite impressed with its battery life too. If you compare to similar sized Garmin watches it is far better. In my hands comparing to an Apple Watch Ultra with dual band the tracks are nearly identical!

            So @Artyrekb, this does not seem normal and if nothing fixes it I would contact support. There may be something wrong with your unit.

              @rooldaa I did but the black tint is still there. Higher in this thread Dimi chipped in and replied to me that this is normal. I trust him. Then I got contacted by support and the guy corrected too himself that this is normal. For me, definitely not normal but I don’t care. Somehow I’ve put up with this crappy display. It is what it is. Besides two other guys wrote that their displays are the same. So, case closed for me.

                @Brad_Olwin Which color did you buy? I picked up the black cause in my opinion the bezel is less visible. I don’t mind the bezel though.
                The battery is truly amazing. Last Sunday I charged the battery. Now it’s at 54%. I do three outdoors activities per day in custom battery mode.
                Fenix - I always pick the X version to get the biggest battery and the bigger screen for maps.
                By the way, it’s 18.03, so it’s been one month since I bought the watch and I kinda like it. Definitely miss the 5 buttons setup. The stock strap that came with the watch is horrible. I need to look at some other options. I don’t like the lack of lock when in watch mode. Also, when in activity mode I find the lock function quite clumsy - first long press and then short press to (un)lock it. One long press on the down button should suffice to (un)lock.
                The pedometer, the pulse ox, the ohr and the sleep tracking are complete and total thrash. They just don’t work for me. I lie in bed and this thing counts steps. The ohr is a random number generator. I didn’t buy the watch for these, so it’s not a problem for me. So far the charging cable has been fine, magnets stick fine. Is there a way when the watch is unlocked during activity to avoid marking a lap if I short press the down button?
                It’s a good watch. I don’t regret buying it.

                  Hey skifun. Im just putting in my 2 cents on this for balanced commentary based on my personal experience. I just recently came from Garmin Fenix 7X, and then Coros Apex 2, and my Suunto 9PP works perfectly in these areas (my Suunto 9P though WAS terrible - I returned it for the Suunto 9PP).

                  My pedometer matches my previous watches both for daily and or counted steps after running (actually either COROS or Garmin didnt count running as part of your steps count). My sleep score matches my perceived sleep almost exactly, and much better than my Garmin did generally. My pulse ox is exactly as reported by my past Garmin and COROS devices (faster to get a reading than COROS), and my optical heart rate sensor works the best of all three. As an example, I recently purchased a Hammerhead Karoo 2 and went on a 50k gravel ride yesterday with the Karoo connected to my Suunto Smart Sensor HRM, and my Suunto on my wrist using the OHR from the S9PP. There were a lot of bumps, climbs (700 meters), fast loose descents, roots and roads. At the end of the ride, both were identical for km’s and elevation, and very little difference on HR:

                  Karoo - average 116/max 156
                  Suunto - average 112/max 150

                  So for me this is not total trash. That said, I’m not relying on the HR stats as part of a training plan, or competing, where minor variations may count, but the slight difference is small enough that I would rely on the Suunto OHR if pressed (I will always prioritize/use the chest HRM though).

                  I upvote anyones suggestion for more varied watch bands from Suunto!

                    @mikekoski490 I’m glad they work for you 👍🏻 Not the case for me. I still call those complete and total thrash. Still in bed and 9pp is counting steps. How’s that even possible? OX pulse is total thrash too. Works very slowly and it’s utterly wrong. I removed the widget from the watch cause it doesn’t work anyway and it’s unusable. The ohr is garbage both in watch mode and in activity. Sleep tracking has nothing to do with reality. That’s my experience since 18.02 when I bought the watch. So far I wear the watch on my other wrist and from time to time I fiddle with the watch. When I lose my interest I guess I’ll stop wearing it and put it on the wrist only when I do activities.
                    Any advices for a good watch strap?
                    P.S. Couldn’t care less about Coros. Prefer my 9pp which is way superior watch.

                        Assuming you didn’t run on those traces you may have a deffective watch no?

                                @skifun I bought the Titanium Slate. For your sleep issues, mine is pretty good, I sleep a lot with this and an Apple Watch. The overall time is good and the HR/SPO2 match well. The Suunto says I do a lot more deep sleep than AW. Make sure for sleep you set AutoDND and have it start 30 min before bed and stop after you normally wake up (30 min again). When you wake up you can turn DND off. This should help prevent step counting while in bed.

                                The S9PP is not focused on step counting and frankly mine overcounts a lot as well. I do not care about step counting and I think Suunto puts more effort into the step counters on the S5P and S3.

                                The OHR is pretty good for me, not perfect but not bad. I would suggest trying a velcro strap, I get better OHR with the velcro. You can order one from here. https://www.lightinthebox.com/en/p/sport-nylon-watch-band-wrist-strap-for-polar-vantage-m-replaceable-bracelet-wristband_p7737156.html?litb_from=crm_deliver_confirm&user_email=38dd97b7f8f70eb6bf08abfef8b597e6&mname=en_sys_L20220712_deliverconfirm_1&content=0&p_id=0&c_id=0&send_date=2022071222&utm_content=crm_deliver_confirm&utm_source=crm&utm_medium=system&utm_campaign=LITB20220712

                                Agree about the button lock, it is not the simplest. A long press would be better I think.

                                Here is an example of my tracks in an urban environment to contrast with @zhang965. This is typical for me, the AWUltra is dual band and does a little better but not much.

                                    Hello @skifun , just for information, please be aware, this slick is not a part of Suunto company,

                                    So his statement doesn’t reflect Suunto (for example on steps counter, vo2max, dual band etc). If you want some fun, check his old posts on vo2max implementation.

                                    And also be aware his average “running” pace is about 7m/km, so if you don’t have same performance as him, his experience will not reflect your experience.

                                    And a resume from last episode, he has difficult to figure out which watch is on his wrist, I thought it was a shame, but it’s actually a shameless.

                                    BR

                                      @Brad_Olwin I don’t care about about step counting as I move a lot anyway; my F7X does much better with step counting, ohr (it’s in line with my h10 strap) and sleep tracking. Check the forum of Garmin - there are folks who have issues both with ohr and sleep tracking. So it’s personal for everyone. I knew about those issues with Suunto before buying the 9pp and I don’t complain, I just mentioned my experience with the watch after one month wearing. Also, I’m not impressed with gps track compared with the multi band of my F7X which so far has been stellar. I also knew about it before buying the watch. Also, the 9pp feels less comfortable on my wrist compared with other watches I’ve had so far. So far, battery life has been good and also the alti-baro. I’ll stop wearing the 9pp after a couple of months and use it only during activity.

                                        Brad_Olwin I don’t care about about step counting as I move a lot anyway; my F7X does much better with step counting, ohr (it’s in line with my h10 strap) and sleep tracking. Check the forum of Garmin - there are folks who have issues both with ohr and sleep tracking. So it’s personal for everyone.

                                          @zhang965 I don’t care. I’m telling the truth from my perspective: battery and alti-baro are good for me and the rest sucks. That’s why it’s not worthy wearing the 9pp 24/7. After wearing this watch for one month 24/7 no one can possibly convince me to change my opinion as my opinion is based on my experience.
                                          What does support say about your gps track problem? Your gps tracks are awful and the support should step in solving your problem.

                                            @skifun don’t worry about posts being deleted, that doesn’t happen if there are no incidents with violent and vicious people. That happened maybe once or twice in years on this forum, and you don’t seem the kind of person that would resort to threats and trolling indiscriminately.
