              @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.

                @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.

                  @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.

                    @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.

                      @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.

                        @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.

                          @skifun This is really interesting. I have struggled a lot in the past with OHR, particularly with Suunto’s 9 Baro and also with a Garmin Fenix 6. I find the 9PP works well on me - steady runs are almost perfect, and in my last trail over 2h45 minutes it completely lost the plot once for about 7-8 minutes during a fast descent, but the rest was always within about 1-3 beats of the chest strap.

                            or Garmin didnt count running as part of your steps count).

                            This is very incorrect - Garmin does include step count as part of running activities (unless there was a specific one you were using). Just confirmed on my Epix from last nights run.
                            Note that post activity you will not be able to see a step count for that activity unless you install a 3rd party data field from IQ connect, however during the activity you can have a step field on your tracking screen, and or post activity you can go into the app/web and go into the step widget. Where your running icon is against the daily graph you will notice a sharp increase in your step count. On the app in this widget if you turn your phone into landscape mode it takes the watch into the graph where you can explode it and a long press can give you the step count prior to the activity and then move that to the end of the activity - and a quick substraction can give you an estimate of your step count - not ideal I know and something that should really be native.

                            But it is definitely there and false to claim it doesn’t do this.

                              @Spree I have given up and don’t expect an acceptable ohr data. Whenever I can I use my H10 and the problem is solved.

                                I did some cycling this week, first time with S9PP. I’ve mounted it on the original Suunto bike mount and learned that vibrations nicely resonate with the bike, making them substantially louder than the regular sounds.

                                This really is absurd, how loud it is.

                                  @mikekoski490 All it really takes is to lighten your load and running shoes instead of boots. You would be surprised how far you can go carrying just what you need. I carry a small water filter, 500 ml of water, a light weight jacket, extra shirt gloves and buff for a day in the mountains that could be up to 50k. I should add food too as I take 200-300 kcal/hr, and I don’t use gels.

                                    @Jamie-BG OK. I didn’t have an EPIX 2 though. I had a Garmin Fenix 6 - 2 years ago. It might have been different then, or pilot error, but no worries. Thanks for the Garmin tips and sorry you felt I was making a false claim! Oh my god… there is a Garmin van parked outside my house - I take it back - it was definitely my Polar Vantage from 5 year ago that did that. 🙂

                                      @mikekoski490 my Garmin F6x also offered same step data as Epix - must have been your polar.

                                        Question to other S9PP users - are you experiencing lag when cycling screens during the workout? It takes up to ~3 or 4 seconds after pressing the middle button for the watch to cycle the screen. After it does with the first one, it’s responsive again, but the first one is nowhere near instant.

                                        S9PP 2.40.38

                                          @Łukasz-Szmigiel Hi. Not specific to cycling screens but I have had the odd slow scrolling in other sports modes.

                                            @Łukasz-Szmigiel I don’t notice such lag. The most annoying lag is when starting an activity.
