        Thanks for the ‘hint’ Brad, happy to hear that there’s something in the pipeline for the S9B 😀
        FWIW, I had a COROS Apex for about 4 months. It is a good watch, the battery life is it’s main drawcard but aside from that I can’t knock it too much. Big difference in build quality between the S9B Vs the COROS, the COROS felt very plasticky and cheap. If you sat it alongside a $100 beginners watch you would struggle to tell which one was which. The other minor downside is that because the COROS is made in China the app is also the same. Some of the translations aren’t great and it just has a slightly unfinished feel to it. A big negative for me was that you can’t customise the workouts as you can in the SA, you’re stuck with what you are given.
        Soooo… I ended up coming back to the S9B once again and with this insight I have to say I’m pretty happy. The small things that could/should be improved hopefully will in time, but I really do believe as a top-end high performance GPS watch the S9B is as good as it gets. If Suunto can find any way to improve the battery life so it’s more on par with COROS then that would be the icing on the cake!

          thanks for your reminders… I sometimes forget how well developed the Suunto products are! I see room for improvements here and there but basically, these are simply great watches!!! 👍

              Turn off the watch🙄 ? Suunto’s watches can’t be turned off 😂 .
              Seriously, they can’t be turned off, not even my ambit vertical could.
              How do you tried to turn it off? Maybe you were doing soft resets??

                  Long press (12s) upper button is for soft reset.

                    Ambit can be turned off. There is an option into the service menu.

                      @Mi_chael Yes, it could but I remember that was very difficult to find and if I recall well it was not in the manual, could be? I had to send my vertical back and I had to check everywhere how to turn it off.

                      Anyway, Spartans and S can’t be turned off.

                        There is a trick to turn off S watches, but it is to put the watch in “shipping” mode, then surely hard reset at the turning on.

                                  When i used the research fonction, i’ve founded 8 topic.
                                  But you’ve found 9. The answer is in the last topic.

                                  Thanks man

                                    I think one of my biggest grievances with the S9B right now is how custom sport mode don’t save the last used configuration (ie the WHR, sensor syncing, SuuntoPlus option, etc).
                                    I would really love to see that implemented as it would make starting an activity much smoother and faster (ie not having to go into the settings to adjust things before starting)

                                      I agree !! Would be nice to just hit Start without having to scroll down and adjust each time.
                                      Or alternatively if you choose a setting say 3 times consecutively it would remember that and default to it. For example I always have to scroll down to turn the Wrist HR off as I don’t use it, would be nice if it ‘realised’ that and turned it off until I decide that I do want to use it. Sounds simple enough to implement

                                        not sure if you’re using a chest belt instead? if so, WHR is switched off automatically.
                                        I think too settings should be stored, unless the backlight. sometimes I run at day, sometimes at night…

                                          @TELE-HO is that confirmed that the watch shuts off WHR if chest strap is paired? That was something I always wondered - say if the chest connection was lost for a period - would it switch to WHR instead. I always turn WHR offjust to be safe

                                            @Jonathan-Schwarz for what I know, the OHR is shut down if you have another heart rate monitor paired. And I don’t think it does turn on again if you lose the connection.
