I`m done with Suunto 9 Peak pro / searching for alternativ

aplatonovs

I`m done with Suunto.
I tired with a lot different issues - inaccurate pulse even with wrists band, connection issues, I have video where watch display pulse over 200 just laying on the ground.

So I am searching alternative in this price range and simillar functions in application.

Any advice?

Taking advantage of the Black Friday deals, I got a RACE S at a very competitive price as a replacement for my 9PP. I was/am happy with the 9PP except for some reading difficulties due to my developing presbyopia and a few minor, irritating bugs. The RACE S is an improvement over the 9PP in some aspects, but it’s not a game-changer; in fact, there are some things I liked more about the 9PP.

Anyway, no device is perfect.

I imagine if you want to switch brands, the Coros Pace 3 would be the closest equivalent, although it looks cheaper and, in my opinion, outdated.

Looking for an AMOLED at the 9PP price takes you to entry-level models; I might go for the Suunto RUN if you didn’t need to connect it to TrainingPeaks.

You can buy a garmin in the same price range, but those lack quite a few features (specifically maps). Or buy a garmin with about the same features, but those are quite expensive. You do get a gazillion additional data with garmin. Useful? Meh. And you end up with different issues.

Or buy a polar. Most newer Polars have about the same features. Materials used are different. And you end up with different issues.

Coros does have some attractive new models. You get about the same features for slightly less money. And, of course, you end up with different issues.

@aplatonovs price range is one thing, but what features do you need? What are you using the watch for?

9PP has no maps anyway…

@aplatonovs any newer watch than 9PP is a better choice. I bought a Race S for my wife as a replacement for 9PP and she couldn’t be more happier. No issues with the watch.
