Suunto 9 Peak

[surfboomerang]

@freeheeler You just gave Suunto an idea for a new model.

Suunto 9 Edge!
It has no lock button and has touch screen enabled. Both in watch mode and activity mode

[freeheeler]

@surfboomerang
having touch enabled and unlocked during an activity even makes sense for certain activities. because what does touch do to the activity itself? nothing.
When I did the WFL, I used my S9 Edge edition to flip back and forth between the navigation and the WFL screen. It was pretty convenient to swipe just left or right. (maybe there’ll be a Tinder edition, too?)
Otherwize I would have to flip thru all screens with the middle button.
My opinion is that it would be great to have touch toggled on/off depending on the activity. For water sports it’s a must to disable it!

[surfboomerang]

@freeheeler True, I use touch for hiking. Especially because some functions are not available with the buttons (back and forward scrolling and route overview).
For windsurfing it is definitely a no-go.

@surfboomerang
but watch out, when it gets steeper and you need to start crawling and use your hands it’s living on the edge^2

[surfboomerang]

@freeheeler The only time people start crawling and use their hands during a hike in The Netherlands is when they drank too much in a bar and try to walk home. No hills here…

And if you drink even more, blackout. Aka “Silence of the mind”

Ah! it all comes together now…

Silence of the mind

It might be even a reminder to get a beer? (silence of the mind) I remember Ambit having app how much to run to ‘spend’ kcal of a beer That’s why I’ve been running ever since

Peak topic really progressed, from lock button to vodka and crawling

[freeheeler]

@dulko79
but at least there’s a reasonable trace, it did not get randomly offtopic

@dulko79 Does that mean this is a good point to re-introduce my suggestion for a bar/pub POI/WP icon?

We don’t have to crawl home …

Coros vertix first impression

More confortable compared to my S9b with nylon strap (this trap irritate me a lot)
Many watchface less than garmin but around 30 i think and many style
Nice look as the S9
Easy to use as the S9

But for me the only default is the lockfunction i think @freeheeler wont like it

[dulko79]

@fenr1r great idea, as long as you dont share your routes with your wife

[freeheeler]

@dulko79
I for one can say: my wife enjoys a pub and a nice beer, too
