I can’t believe tracks on this thing?!

when you very quickly double tap the data screen you can lock the screen with a third tap on exactly the dedicated field in the “pop-up” lock screen

Oh ! Didn’t know that and very possible that it is what happened so ! Thanks !

Love the watch, got the maps sorted (which was user error rather than anything on Suunto’s side)

The only negative I can find is the charger, the magnets just seem to be very weak and with any slight knock or movement the watch just falls off it. Completely the opposite compared to the S9B where you almost have to physically pull the watch off!

@MiniForklift my understanding is there are sensitive components inside that would be affected with a strong magnet. Hence, the change in charger starting with S9PP.

Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense. It’s only a pain if it’s not charging whilst stationary, for example I’ll quite often charge it while I’m driving. But not too much of a big deal I guess as you hardly have to charge the thing

@Brad_Olwin I‘m a bit confused about the charger… I got one with my S9PP and now one with the SV… they both look like they are the same, and they are both with a very weak magnetic force. I remember I read or hear somewhere in a SV review, perhaps DC Rainmaker?, that the Charger of SV is better than the charger of S9PP… but you said there was a change with S9PP…

freeheeler

@SuperFlo75
the change happened from S9P to S9PP. S9PP and SV chargers are compatible.
you can see the difference also in the contact pattern. newer chargers have these button type connectors only

SuperFlo75

@freeheeler Ok, thank you for the information. But in the Suunto webstore, I could buy a charging cable compatible with S9P and S9PP… I can use the newer cable for the older device, but not the older cable for the newer device?

freeheeler

@SuperFlo75
yes exactly, that’s what I did, too

I’m now also a member of the Vertical club 'cause I couldn’t resist.

First impression: F*cking awesome!

Hi all,
four short questions:

Do you can store music on the watch?
Currently you can zoom out the maps only to 500m. Is it planned that it will be more in the future? Likely to get an overview where I’m if I’m lost in the wild.
I do understand that I can’t plan routes on the watch. But I do can use the APP for it anytime. But could I do this without cellphone coverage if I do download the maps in the app before?
Do I need an account to use the watch?

I’ve seen the 500m number mentioned a lot. I’m in the U.S. and use imperial units, and my max zoom out reads 0.5 miles, which is just over 800m.

Can someone answer: Is there, in fact, a different (higher) level that it zooms out to when using imperial, or is there some rounding in those listed numbers?

I see 0.5 mi being maximum. I’d say for where I live, given amount of details, that’s about right. Anything more would hardly be practical on 1.4" screen.

Count me in! Just pulled the trigger on a Titanium solar forest. Can’t wait for it…

In fact, no.
You can use the watch as it is, but you cannot pair it with SA without an account and SA is basically the way to use advanced features and configuration.

Great decision. This is the one I went for, absolutely love it
