@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.

Welcome to Suunto community .

@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.

@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.

Oh come on, please don’t argue in this way, he will delete our posts.

@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.

[isazi]

@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.

[zhang965]

See? Explanation on deleting post is more important than looking on your experience.

[A Former User]

@isazi As a matter of fact, I like people on here and love interacting with them.
Have fun everyone, time for my long city walk now.

Sorry to say but you must have a defective watch that should be exchanged .

Did you go and say Hi to our dear senators?

[Brad_Olwin]

@skifun I’ve read a lot on the Garmin forums and had an Epix2 for 8 months. I agree it is personal, the OHR on the Epix2 was about the same as the 9PP for me. Neither is as good as an Apple Watch.

[A Former User]

@Brad_Olwin The problem with ohr on 9pp is that it’s a sheer crap. It’s good for nothing. I’m going out now for a move and I’m putting my H10, otherwise I get Mickey Mouse results from the 9pp ohr.

[el2thek]

@skifun sounds like it’s personal. Though other brands seemingly are better at this. The hr of the 9 (baro) is also supposed to be shit. For me however it produces acceptable results while running. Not as accurate as my h10 and if it’s cold it takes about 15 minutes for me to warm up.

[Brad_Olwin]

@zhang965 Yes, my avg running pace is not as fast as yours…I typically include quite a bit of elevation in my runs.
I wanted to educate you a little more since you mentioned my pace. I run ultramarathons. These are very long races; my favorite distances are 80-160 km. The ones I run take place in mountainous terrain where everyone even the elite athletes walk (power hike) up to half of a race. It is not sustainable to run up steep hills in a long race and hard to run uphill in the dark after 80-100 km. So, I practice power hiking during my runs. That slows my pace considerably.

An athlete you may have heard of and certainly some in the forum have heard of is a famous ultra runner named Killian Jornet. His pace for a 160 km race in the summer of 2022 was 7:55 min/km, much faster than I could possibly go.

I am not Suunto employee but have been testing for them for five years now. My goal here is to help people and give feedback to the fieldtest team from the forums. There are several others here that do the same.

[A Former User]

@el2thek Yes, it’s personal. Never had Suunto watches before, this is my first month with my first Suunto and I thought to give my feedback. Despite all the this I don’t like about the watch, I’ll keep it and use it for ma activities. I also mentioned the things that I like.

[mikekoski490]

@Brad_Olwin Thanks for all of your advice and time helping everyone on the forums, and for your efforts to keep positive feedback, discourse and interaction here. Also in awe of the amazing distances you ultra marathoners run! Ive only done multi day backcountry hikes that long. I have done several week long trips, and 3 days in, looking at the amazing vistas I’ve seen or hiked into, my wrist device is less as important as my tent, sleep system, water, food and fuel. Perspective.
