      @jorgefd78 From the videos I’ve seen, the interface looks exactly like S9/5/3, so I’d guess yes, one alarm and one timer.

        @nickk My experience with Polar watches has been really good - the Vantage V was pretty much spot-on all the time.
        It’s not the most important thing for me though, and indeed is only really some form of an estimation in the end.
        I’ll try your suggestions, and see if I can find a way. Thanks!

          Funny enough, S9B is mostly spot on while all Polar products with Sleep+ and then Sleep+ Stages were off for me. Every 2-3 nights the watch would miss either the sleep start, end, or both. Sometimes by an hour and more making the whole Night Recharge that relies on specific 4-hour window kind of moot.

          Since then I switched back to HRV4T and I’m a happy camper.

            @nickk Just goes to show that all of these things - heart rate, sleep tracking - can be kind of personal in the way they work.

            What do you mean by HRV4T? (OK - Google comes to the rescue!)

                @nickk I switch watches fairly often during the day and have found that resources generally agree between them, it may take an hour or so for the watch to stabilize but my S9 Peak and S7 as well as S9baro will fairly closely match resources even if I was wearing one for an entire week (S9 Peak) the S7 after an hour of wear will be similar. So, no real worries about missing data or issues following updates.

                  @brad_olwin Wait, what are you saying? That I can go from one watch to another and within an hour or two the second watch will pick up the Resources as reported on the first? I.e. if I’m walking around in S7 and it shows 63% and then I switch to S9, the latter will be reporting 55-60% soon?

                  Because that would be awesome. In Garmin world, body battery aka Resources isn’t synced still, unlike other stuff. So, switching from one watch to another will blindly reset the value to 45% regardless of what it was.

                  And with S9, I’m seeing random jumps in values, both down and up, as well as this unfortunate drop that occurs when the watch is being charged as confirmed by @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos. But luckily I don’t have to charge S9 every day and funky moves happen every now and then, not a daily occurrence.

                    @nickk It seems to be fairly reliable for me. I know the Resources is likely read from HRV and that readings are taken about every 30 min. I keep close tabs on this just to see how it is doing. Most of the time the watches agree, not always but mostly. Even if I did not run with the particular watch! Today I ran with 3, Peak, baro and S7, the Peak is 41%, S7 at 33% (Peak has been on the table for an hour). I’ll put the Peak back on and see what happens. The Peak got an update today and the S7 did not, I did not sleep with the S7 last night.

                      Spartan Sport without WHR is also quite thin watch.

                        @brad_olwin So, how do you synchronize multiple watches with the Suunto app? Forget one device and add another, or have multiple phones and let cloud do its magic?

                          @nickk One phone iOS, forget one Watch and add another. So far, six 🙈 watches.

                            @brad_olwin That’s dedication! Let me try it 🙄 I’d only have to switch between S7 and S9 and hope @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos sacrifices some small furry animal for Gods of Suunto to give us vibration-only notifications for when Peak comes out.

                            … Or multiple devices under Suunto app. I can be reasonable 😊

                                  will this design language and also some of the tech be trickled down to lower tier watches (S5 for example). the look is stunning… love it

                                    @dimitrios-kanellopoulos Yes, surprisingly so. Forget one watch, immediately see them all in the list of available watches, add another instantly, sync, and… 🤔

                                    Now, merging data from multiple watches isn’t as straightforward to an untrained eye as @Brad_Olwin claims it to be, but eventually things do settle down with correct numbers. I’m still unclear on what exactly is happening on the Resources front. S9 most definitely didn’t pick up anything S7 was showing, but at least when I came back to S7, it didn’t drop half of the Resources and was roughly showing same numbers as before.

                                    Will know more tonight when S7 goes on a charger and S9 to the gym downstairs. That would be a real test.

                                      @nickk I did say it does take some time, you won’t see Resource alignment for awhile and it is not perfect but not bad.

                                        @brad_olwin Maybe. My S9 started with Resources at 0%, about 5 min later updated that to 8%, then to 10%. That’s where it was pegged for the next 30-40 minutes. S7 was showing around 40% before and after switch to S9.

                                        As long as swapping to S9 for training doesn’t completely wipe out the values (which it doesn’t) and S7 picks up stress from HRV/elevated HR afterwards and adjusts, I’m fine. It’s a fun stat to have, but I hardly base my life and training decisions on it, so a bit of flux is fine.

                                        With S9P there won’t be much need to switch watches, and I hope its new LifQ HR sensor would produce more consistent Resources and heart rate readings and behavior than what I’m currently observing in S9, kind of like S7 does.

                                          @nickk The OHR is so good I hardly wear my belt anymore. I was only wearing the belt for intervals but am hoping the OHR will work for those too.

                                            If I am not mistaken, some time ago, I think I have read that with the S7 you had good experience with OHR even for intervals.
                                            Do you find difference between ohr in both watches?
