        Sorry, I didnโ€™t think of using the search. I just scrolled back to see if I could find anything.

        Yeah thanks for the baro 9 votes ๐Ÿ˜. Iโ€™m swaying more towards the baro 9 anyway. Do all the baro 9s have the same features etc? I ask because I can get a baro 9 Lime for ยฃ350 which seems to be cheaper than all the other variants.

          @gazaman77 You may check out their spec from the Suunto website. There are 2 variants - 9 and 9 Baro. 9 is without the barometer and is cheaper.

            @gazaman77 I would read some reviews for the for the GritX. There are quite a few out. If following a route is of primary importance then the GritX only uses Komoot, so you will have to pay to get coverage. From my understanding (I donโ€™t have one) routes are not nearly as well developed as Suunto and there are no waypoints. The S9b has zoom for routes, waypoints and Suunto has a lot of heatmaps. The GritX has workout planning and better workout analysis than the S9 so it depends on your needs.

              @Brad_Olwin The Grit X has navigation even without Koomot only the Turn by Turn only works with Koomot. Nevertheless, navigation at Suunto is of course better.

                      @Kurt68 I actually like the idea of using something like kamoot and being able to just upload routes to the watch without the use of a laptop. Am I able to upload a route to the watch with the suunto 9 just using my phone also?
                      And am I right in thinking the suunto 9 will give me all the notifications that I get to my phone, or is it limited?

                      Cheers

                        When Suunto 9 is syncing to Suunto App on your phone it also syncs routes from app to the watch

                        Itโ€™s configured in Suunto App

                        You can download gpx from Komoot app and import it to Suunto App.

                        Also Suunto App now has public API to upload routesโ€ฆ

                          @pavelsamokha thanks mate.
                          Iโ€™m assuming the only difference with the lime version Iโ€™ve ordered is the colour of the strap? It seems strange that this Lime version seems to be so much cheaper when the straps can be easily changed!?! Iโ€™ve tried searching for comparisons but canโ€™t find any with the 9 BARO lime.

                                Thanks mate, I was more concerned as to why the baro 9 lime was cheaper than say the baro 9 black. Was wondering if it was missing any features etc. Im hoping itโ€™s just because of the band then Iโ€™ll just swap it out at some point.

                                    My S9 Baro turned up today and first impressions are good.
                                    I think my biggest disappointment is the volume of the tone. I would have preferred the option to turn it up but itโ€™s not a biggy and I can live with it.
                                    The quality of the display is far better than I expected and I really like the look and feel of the watch.
                                    Just wondering if I should get a screen protector now.

                                      @gazaman77 no screen protector needed. Mine is over a year old and I am rough.

                                        Thanks @Brad_Olwin thatโ€™s good to know. Iโ€™ll not bother getting one then.
                                        After a full day wearing it, one thing I have noticed is the step counter seems very sensitive. It certainly tracks more steps than my previous watches, sometimes counting 50% more than actual.
                                        I really only use steps as a comparison from one day to another though so as long as itโ€™s consistently out, itโ€™ll be fine.

                                          @gazaman77 I think you will find recovery time works fairly well. Once you accumulate some time, your daily activity is added there too. I agree, the steps are a bit sensitive but I do not pay attention to steps anyway.

                                            @Brad_Olwin thanks mate. I assume you mean recovery after an exercise.
                                            I really donโ€™t understand the stress and recovery screen to be honest. Iโ€™ve looked at some articles and it states that while ever you are relaxing etc then the bar would show in colour as you are โ€œrecoveringโ€ your resources. Yet currently my status is โ€œinactiveโ€ and the bar is still grey and not colour.
                                            Does anyone have a dummies guide to this feature ๐Ÿ˜€
                                            Thanks
