      @bulkan I owned 3 different Suunto watches in the past and still have one of them. I wouldn’t had upgraded if I was unhappy with Suunto. I am a demanding user but mostly because the terrain here in mountains where I live is notoriously difficult for GPS watches. Until a few years ago if you went to any trail ultra race in Washington, half of all runners at the start would wear Suunto watches because they provided much better accuracy than competition. I was actually quite interested in S9B and will certainly consider future models of Suunto. But an attitude like that (telling me to stay with Garmin) is certainly not helping.

        I understand @Bulkan just confirmed what you said: this isn’t a watch for me. You explained why and in my very personal opinion such comments about a newly developed and presented product is condescending.
        Think about what people feel who were waiting for this release and even worse: all the people who were involved in developing, testing and producing it.
        I assume there will be no Suunto watch that meets your demands in the next bunch of months, right?

          @sky-runner good words.

          Without wanting to get your money (because actually I wont be getting them) 😛 what about using the S9P as a casual watch and training vs ie the Garmin Enduro or F7 that might have 1000h of GPS tracking for the actual race?

            @sky-runner Suunto is a company that try to make money selling products. They decide their features and roadmaps, so they take decisions. We as consumers, can try to influence in Suunto’s decisions (win this forum) and then, we can chose between different brand and products.
            I agree with @Bulkan: “if you are not going to be happy with a Suunto, just don’t buy”.
            But it’s same for anything: “if you are not going to be happy with this BMW, just don’t buy it”

            Life is short, try to be happy

              you expressed here yourself very clear here and in other social communities. And for what I’ve read I don’t think what you want/need/imagine/demand exist with the current technology. And when things aren’t as you want/need and you’ve told that more than once we will have again a post hijacked.

              That’s why I recommend you don’t use a Suunto. You won’t be happy and we will know it.

                @bulkan and the others… I am quite surprised by the outcry against @sky-runner … Everyone adds a layer, doesn’t he have the right to speak? He gives his opinion (and that can be understood).

                I thought this forum different.
                If the only possibility is to go into ecstasies, well, let’s go into ecstasies, like that, in fact, we will all be happy …

                  @rob33 you are right, but other members are right as well. There was a lot of conflict here between the users in the past.

                    @sky-runner said in Suunto 9 Peak (review and specs):

                    Lack of customizability of the app and the watch, which I assume remain mostly unchanged. For example, I really have to have Monday as first day of training week, but I am unwilling to change my phone’s locale for a number of reasons. I also really prefer to have mixed units. These are all small things that should be trivial to make more customizable (Ambit / Movescount had that), so I really don’t understand why it is so hard to do the same in the new platform?

                    FYI we are changing this asap on Android in regards to the first day

                      @rob33 I’m not saying, don’t post in this forum. Any idea or comment could add value, but I think that @sky-runner requirements and S9P features will not match so… just don’t buy seems to be a good advise (at least for me)

                        not only the conflict, everyone has the right for his/her opinion and freedom of speech. but frequent and constant negative vibes and unrealistic demands made users and moderators helpless IMHO

                          I don’t think this should go further. I don’t see where is the hostility. Is a user with a strong opinion about what needs, I respect that, and I have my opinion “He won’t be happy”. We don’t need 30 post of 2.000 words to express this.

                          I prefer to talk about the new Suunto 9 peak rather than what don’t have and from there Suunto app, histeriesis… bla blab bla bla like is happening.

                          Suunto 9 peak!!

                            @freeheeler yes perhaps but the opinion of each one is respectable, as much as his.
                            And it is through these constructive exchanges that there can be development aid and define an extended range corresponding to different expectations.

                            In any case, I see it like that, otherwise, for me, not much interest to exchange with people having strictly the same opinion …
                            Disagree?

                            OK, Subject closed

                              On my side, for now it is what I will do.
                              Still undecided about F6SS or something cheaper…
                              The thing I “want” regarding garmin is training load focus (mainly from edge 530, but I want that the casual runs add to it)
                              IMG_FB385282D4B8-1.jpeg-640x480.jpg

                              On the day suunto app calculates it (like it now does for training load) even with other devices activities I can only have one watch.
                              Although maps in F6S are fun and andy, it is not something I trully need.
                              I prefer ease of use and confort, which is now something the F6S is not for me. (still don’t know if the S9P will be, but hope so!)

                                @Brad_Olwin is the standby battery improved with the options with the auto backlight etc from S9B? I assume with some hardware updates even with smaller battery size, maybe that has gone up? Can you give a sense for what you get with 1hr GPS per day etc? Thanks!

                                  If I’m not wrong, base battery estimation is with 24/7 on and backlight

                                    @sartoric yes I understand, however unfortunately most of these base battery scenarios don’t really explain it in the more intuitive “1hr activity gps per day with default settings” terms…its hard to know if the S9P will be more or same as the S9B ~4days with 1 hr activity per day with default settings that I seem to get and I think others on the forum have also confirmed. It has to be <7 days because that is “With 24/7 tracking and mobile notifications”…but just wondering how much of a hit that will be…

                                      @northeast_trekker 1h of GPS is 4% (with all on including standby) (that tops up to 25h but keep in mind that the consumption might be less. Testers get 3% drain on longer runs).

                                      For me 1d of just usage of watch + dnd at night + standby light = max 12% (Typically it’s 8-10% but I am bumping up stuff here as I dont know ie how many notifications you might be getting).

                                      That means that each day we are at 16%. Lets make that 15% for the sake of having the other percentages bumped.

                                      That would mean almost 7d (6.666) with all on + standby light + spo2 from time to time (it automeasures along with HR on demand when you check your HR/ or sleep etc)

                                        @northeast_trekker I agree with what @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos stated, I am getting 6 to 8 days between charges depending on how many long outings I have. That includes 10 to 15h of exercise with 2-3h indoor and the rest using GPS. I have 24/7 HR on and sleep tracking on. The battery on the Peak is lasting longer than my baro.
