Suunto 9 Peak (review and specs)

@mff73 OK.
It seems very strange to me to measure an element without taking part of this element into account !

It is a point of view, effectively.
Personnaly (and I never had a watch with OHR… yet), but I feel like the sensor is expected to “press into the skin” (sorry for this expression ), and the real thickness of the watch (seen when worn) is more like measuring without this sensor.
So, marketing new measures, or new reference, result is to compare apples to apples.

@mff73 I agree. You can’t really add sensor protrusion to the overall thickness, because it really isn’t a part of the watch profile on your wrist. I know it’s splitting hairs (and tattoos), but as with moles, it’s what’s above your skin that matters

@nickk
In a better English… Yes

Rob33

@mff73 Yes it can be heard. In fact it is the data available on the SUUNTO site that is confusing …

Watching the review of Joaquin this view seems to me a bit “flatter” in the peak compare to the baro, isn’t it? The screenshot I took is not the best so I put a blue line. Minute 9:27 in this video

@bulkan Maybe the scale is somewhat different, but I do see a similar pattern in both tops. I don’t think the data is diffent.

Watching a little bit further at 9:35, I noticed the bug I reported here is solved in the S9 peak! The sun icon is now visible against a white background. Hope it comes to the S9B too.

Can someone tell me what the green horizontal bar between the datafields is you see in the video? I have never seen it.

Edit: Nevermind… I just found out about the “Target” setting. I never used it

Since there seems to be a bit confusion about the thickness, at least for me, can someone post a pic of a Suunto Spartan Sport without OHR in comparison to the new Suunto 9 Peak? That would be awesome…

@surfboomerang if you talk about the sea level pressure that wont come to windsuf. We have turned off the sensor as wind etc can really mess it up

surfboomerang

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I was talking about the sun icon color of the weather widget, but good to know that pressure is not measured for the exact reason you mentioned. Does this also mean that altitude is no longer recorded for watersports? Because that metric was quite useless for those sports

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@surfboomerang I am not sure if this applies to all water sports. But I would assume to most yes. I know there are a few misalignments here and there reported.

surfboomerang

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos You’re right. Maybe it is interesting for downhill kayaking (or how is that sport called?)

inkognito

@surfboomerang The green line between the data fields is the progress bar of your target distance/duration. I think this was implemented at least a year ago

Edit: damn, too late

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@bulkan this will become better

surfboomerang

@inkognito Thanks anyway

Bulkan

@surfboomerang is the same data and course. But looks like it will be improve.

isazi

@bulkan yeah at the moment the alti profile on the Peak is a bit flattened, probably due to difference in screen size.

White water kayaking. The problem there is you get a lot of water on the sensor, sometimes submerging it etc.
You still get a good idea of the altitude profile and that is the reason why it makes sense to keep altitude data for kayaking. This is the way it is

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@egika I have to check with the S9P sensor and water. To me it looks it works better as the sensor doesn’t get water stuck in

isazi

@egika yes, what I would do is similar to what already happens with other sports such as MTB, where you have different specializations. When choosing Kayaking I would like to have two profiles: flat water, white water.
