Afair the GPS lock is slower the firs times -
@isazi and @sartoric Well, maybe is something punctual, today when I finished my run I tried again run and got the green arrow within the normal time (as I use to have with the SSU). As I said, I need more activities to have it more clear, but my feeling, after one week, is that it is slower.
I’m not worried, at least yet.

after each reboot or FW update the GPS will take more time to lock.
Indeed it can up to 3mins imo but all the rest is less 10s

I love my Suunto 9 baro. Have owned both T6, Ambit and Ambit 3 peak. But after a few days of use and some clarifying questions here on the forum, the Suunto 9 baro and the new Suunto app have set a new standard.
The only thing I now want is an overview of time spent in different HR zones for the week, month and year, in the app
-
nice to read positive feedback from old users, like me. Even for me suunto 9 and suunto app are a great match and can only improve. We look forward to the update with the MC style views and the one where we’ll be able to manage waypoints and POIs

@Saketo-Nemo
yes, S9B is almost perfect, while SA has a bit more room for improvement, but for me QS compensates the lack of SA (and SA web end).Most of you might have seen that I’ve started a summary list of further FW improvements for S9B… here’s the link, just in case you’re interested or want to add something

The first time after the FW update, it took a long time. But subsequently, I find the GPS locks much quicker than pre-FW update.

@azeanic
the same for me and, I think, the same for all. fw update note says it
-
@cosmecosta Something wrong there, mine locks faster than my A3P used to, within 1 to 3 sec.

Thanks to all. I did some test this afternoon and the GPS lock was within 10 or less seconds. I guess I had something wrong with the previous AGPS, and after today’s run it was fixed.
Again, thanks to all!!

@Brad_Olwin
I think your watch is used to being connected rather than disconnected
I did not count seconds with my watch but it is pretty fast. -
here’s another comparison…
I personally think FusedAlti has improved. I haven’t adjusted either watch before the run. Both watches for best comparison in performance mode, GPS only.
I’ve lost satellite connection on S9B sometimes between km 3 and 4.
The pace on S9B sometimes was way off reality as I see in the graph.
The total ascent on S9B is more than on A3PS, I did not expect this as it was once closer. But there are so many things effecting this…What disappoints me is the route planner of SA. The precision of total ascent was to the meter in the last test I did. This time it’s significantly off.

New user of the 9 baro (I come from SSU).
adjustment gps performance, output enduranceavec constant pace
First impressions:
-trace gps OK but not extraordinary. better with gps + galileo?
-distance OK
-altitude: calibration done before leaving (10 min) but erratic altitude, 55 m instead of 44
-FC HR: disappointment! (I’m used to the cardio polar belt) start indications 100% FCM, rhythm ebdurance: large variations sudden enough +/- 10 pulsations
I read that it was necessary to put the watch high enough on the handle but it tends to slip. Also that the pils could pose problems. What are you doing? and do you have solutions / habits to improve use? -
@Rob33
OHR (I guess? optical HR on the wrist?) is a difficult topic.
I would use a chest strap if you care about precise HR data. It even saves some more battery
@all
I went paddling with my surfboard in the lake today and saw that my total ascent is 33m… I must say that there were no waves and the lake does not have sooo many hills… what did I do wrong in the sport mode setup that the activity “standup paddling” counts alti? (I use this for SUP and surfpaddling on the lake) -
@TELE-HO I have ascent and descent kayaking in lakes with both Garmin and Suunto watches. Could be the weather, or maybe you had calibration with Fusedalti during the activity. Can we see the alti profile?
-
@isazi said in Pros/Cons of Suunto 9 BARO * ONLY * be fair and polite!:
@TELE-HO I have ascent and descent kayaking in lakes with both Garmin and Suunto watches. Could be the weather, or maybe you had calibration with Fusedalti during the activity. Can we see the alti profile?
By why did Suunto eliminate barometer profiles? In Movescount any water sport would be setup with Baro profile, and that means that pressure changes would be treated as pressure changes and not as altitude. Also FusedAlti shouldn’t affect total ascent for any indoor or water sport. Suunto keeps simplifying things, but these simplifications don’t always make sense.
-
@silentvoyager but water sports may need the altimeter, e.g. for white water or simply river kayaking.

@isazi
but paddling by hand changes pressure, hence alti by submerging the sensor with any stroke…
I once setup my A3PS incorrect and dud some fantastic 15’000m ascent on the lake
this could now be possible wirh S9B by default abd obviously no chance to change?living sideways

@TELE-HO
This is exactly what is missing in the new watch line from Suunto: Choices.Different people, different sports, different needs.
Everyone has its own set of datafields and setting for their sports. The only thing Suunto has to do is to give me the choice of selecting a certain settings and data field so I can combine them to a setup that is useful to me. Another person could have a whole other setup for the same sport because it is useful to him.
