      @zhang965 To be the “flagship” product is no quality definition for the product itself, especially for some user groups of. It’s a marketing term. I’s not “negative” or “positive” to be the flagship product, but it has the meaning, that this is (for now) the company’s “best” and “way leading” product.

      Of course it has quality definition, how about to call s5 as flagship ?

      Maybe a misunderstanding: I’m sure that each companies flagship product should have also outstanding quality, but the combination of features!!/price!/quality!! and the business orientation define for a company which product they position as their “flagship” product. The flagship product shall tell the costumer which is the way the company is going to and which product is the manifestation of this way right now

            But your xiaomi has no gps nor baro ?

            This is not the point. A 500 Euro watch should be able to read the heart rate on the wrist as it is possible with a cheap fitness tracker.

                I would use ohr as an option only and would rely on the chest strap at first… at least until ohr convinced me that it is better… but with gloves skiing, I can imagine ohr meets its limits…

                        because it works not as well as chest strap? …it’s not really a con… it’s just like the backup camera in the car that only works every now and then

                          The first time(s) when I use my s9, I was shocking,

                          The gps was horrible
                          The ohr was horrible,

                          But I’m getting more and more comfortable with it now,

                          The gps accuracy gives me a lot of surprises that I begin to enjoy it.

                          Ohr never mind, I’ll never use it.

                            do you get used to it because human gets used to everything or do you learn how to “read” it?

                              • con: WHR, what for? If I need reliable HR than I NEED a strap, if not - then I don’t need to know my HR anyhow, especially if I’m training by power zones.

                              What is a HR shown good for, if it’s wrong (not completely, but if you are wrong +/-5 HR beats near LTHR, it MAKES a difference), too late (interval training, >5secs) or not working at all (swimming) and absolutely unusable for HIIT based on HR (response too much lag)

                              For (more or less) steady pace runs, to have some indications where on your personal the HR scale you are: OK, this works.

                                  I do understand your con point, if you speak French, you will also understand your con’s meaning

                                  Btw
                                  The algorithms for Ohr and chest are different,

                                  Chest belt can calculate the hr based on actual RR interval

                                  But ohr has to get an average from a period it’s why we say ohr needs wear it for some minutes before beginning sport

                                      When I begin using S9, my PB of 10k has changed a lot , 45m (a3p and ssu ) to 38m (s9)
                                      You know I’m the guy only run once 10k a week at Sunday morning .

                                      I thought it because I 'm running quicker, but it actually s9’s gps running quicker than me…

                                        I had some really really bad time with s9, but now it doesn’t matter anymore:
                                        s9 is still being developed, s9 is still young, suunto has still time to finish it, new firmware is on the way, unless ssu, three years later of his release, one year in outlet, it still looks like an unfinished watch

                                          I’m still not convinced if it’s a good or bad plan to throw a product on the market in test stage and use customers over 3 years time to improve it…
                                          or do it like others: secretly test and improve until perfection and then surprise and overwhelm the customers with a big bang

                                            Microsoft was doing well with that approach, like IBM, Apple, Google (Android), … and the difference to Suunto is: their (Suunto’s) software usually do NOT crash! But customer feedback is somewhere different than what you cannot get in an “sterile” test environment. The “wild” is always different. And the the test base of Microsoft and Suunto might be slightly different in size…

                                            That’s the reason, garmin drops out each beta in the wild, and let customers to the hard work (“but we’ve told you: it BETA!!, sorry for your data…”)
