Suunto 9 Peak

[EzioAuditore]

I had a Jawbone UP3. One of the best sleep tracking devices ever. And the app was the best of them all, pity it bankrupted. The limitation to the HR with the Jawbone was that it was measured only while sleep or rest. It couldn’t measure while running you need optics to do that I guess.
The metallic things on the s9 peak IMO are more like the polar’s one. To charge and to better detect when off wrist?!

[DMytro]

@dušan-ković yup, exactly those.

[Theo Lakerveld]

“remembering” the images from the Chinese site that leaked everything, it seems that there are no contact points for charging on the back of the device. Will this then be suitable for wireless charging only? That would be quite unique for sports watches, wouldn’t it?

[Dušan Ković]

Just wondering if the watch body will be 43mm did the screen stayed the same size as on S9B and they just made bezels thinner or the screen is also smaller?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@dušan-ković bezels are there for sure. Screen is different though (from what I see)

[isazi]

I for one would love a smaller watch. The S9 baro is awesome, but I have small wrists so it definitely looks huge.

[Dušan Ković]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I hope one day suunto will have almost bezeless screen. But let’s hope new screen has more contrast and better visibility. I also don’t mind smaller watch. I got used to S9Bs size, but it is a big watch

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@dušan-ković said in Suunto 9 Peak:

has more contrast and better visibility

[Dušan Ković]

Nice

Just stalked LIFEQ a bit, because of the new HR sensor. Is it the same one like in S7? I saw S7 picture on their webpage

[Bulkan]

@isazi I love bulky watches but not heavy. The new line of Titanium is pretty good on that.

I remember reading @Brad_Olwin how in ultras a heavy watch can be uncomfortable.

[Saketo Nemo]

Size also means weight, weight means less accuracy than the WHR.

Therefore a smaller watch with those characteristics is welcome

[surfboomerang]

@dušan-ković I think the size difference of the screen is not so big.
The titanium/stainless steel bezel of the current S9 is relatively big. If I measure my screen (incl the black bezel part, but without the stainless steel bezel) it is 43mm.
If I see the stainless steel bezel of the new S9, it looks much smaller so probably the screen size is almost identical to the current one.

The watch itself however will look smaller on the wrist.

[Mi_chael]

I see the screen is 1.2p compared to S9b is 1.4p.
But apparently it has a better contrast.

[Saketo Nemo]

@mi_chael
only a clarification: S9B is 1,34", not 1,4"

[zvonejan]

Am I the only one who likes big watches 50 or 51 mm diameter .Looks like only one ‘player’ stays with this dimensions

[A Former User]

made my decision: I will buy it

Question: I think bezel is good, or? Isn’t there GPS antenna and bezelless design today has disadvantages referring to GPS accuracy?

[zhang965]

since the Chinese seller page is still up, I can translate something if you need.

Btw do you know which gps chipset it is?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@mountainchris you will be very please about the GPS

[EzioAuditore]

Now we only need support for multiple devices per app

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

All in all this is very close to release. So if you like guys, try to be a little subtle. We will go over all this in detail officially and from official testers perspective.
