    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?

                The OHR on the Peak seems better than the S7 now. It is hard to judge directly as when I wear both I do not get as good OHR readings from my right wrist as from my left.

                  @brad_olwin If the OHR is really that good as you testers say, I get good hope to ditch the belt with the S9P.

                  Saves a lot of irritation like this week when the battery of the strap sensor died mid-run. 😞

                    @surfboomerang because the firmware is not final yet, we cannot post comparisons, but for me this is the first watch where I can get reliable good data with wrist OHR running, cycling, and today even hiking. I will keep using a chest strap for climbing and strength training though.

                      @isazi I mainly measure HR for running. Other sports not so much. I noticed the S9B is not very accurate with OHR in combination with sports that involve a lot of wrist movement.

                        @isazi I am interested in the quality of the oHR measurements when using poles for trail running uphill. Up to now no watch could give me plausible values, always way too low.

                          @brad_olwin That sounds great though I already found the S7s OHR sensor very good. I tested the S7 OHR against a Garmin with Polar H10 strap and it did a very good Job :

                          073206F3-6A17-42A2-8276-88B0DDB55399.jpeg 100B3248-28DA-4CEA-8D48-16156C7C0682.jpeg

                          Pretty close and really good enough for me as a beginner! But looking forward to S9P delivery to see if you‘re right and that sensor is even better 😆

                            @pavel-samokha Oh, thanks a lot for this picture. I own a blue Spartan Sport without WHR, and I was always hoping for a thinner model. Great comparison with this pic. Would it be too much to ask if you could make pics where you wear them? One with the SSS and one with the S9P?

                              The S9P is quite high on the list for replacing my 2016 SSU. One of the reasons for replacement is that the SSU tracks outdoor swimming verry poorly, compared to my buddy’s 945 and Fenix 6. 6X: link to strava.com SSU: link to strava.com.

                              I still like the Suunto design and I’m quite happy with and used to the app and watch interface. So a better tracking Suunto would be interesting.

                              Did anyone of you do some open water swimming throughout your (beta)testing, to see how it compares with better tracking devices like the the 945?

                              Previously used: Cyclosport HAC4, Polar S710, Ambit 2S, Ambit 3S, SSU, S5P, S9P Ti. Currently using: Race Ti.

                                @theo-lakerveld a few testers did. Since it has the “same” Sony logic gps chip, it is pretty much the same with the normal 9. The f6 has the same chip with the s9 if not mistaken. The Sony chip has a special swim mode. As long as you don’t hold the hand for minutes inside the water it will quickly and accurately find the GPS on each stroke.

                                  I’ll clarify for someone who may encounter these photos without context - it’s comparison of Suunto Spartan Sport without WHR vs Suunto 9 Peak. SSSwoHR is also quite thin and lovely watch, but S9P is thinner, lighter, more premium and better looking watch.

                                      @pavel-samokha size difference is huge. Is the strap on Peak blue or black? Have you changed it?
