      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?

                  I find the white watchface for summer and brighter days brilliant 😅

                        @richard-thygesen yes. And the magic is that it will be for all conditions due to the ambient light sensor. Combined with DND you can get a pitch black screen at sleep and a watchface always visible even in pitch black.

                        The above is a pic taken with no backlight. That is because the ambient light sensor didn’t need to light it up.

                          @dimitrios-kanellopoulos Is there a battery life difference between white and black theme?

                            Agree, but the time is also readable and the size of the numbers looks very close

                                @dimitrios-kanellopoulos thanks for explaining that. I’m looking forward to seeing some reference tracks from the testers when these get available!

                                    @dimitrios-kanellopoulos how does the tilt to wake work…does it unlock the watchface using the arm movement or do you still need to press a button to unlock the watchface?

                                      @northeast_trekker it turns on the backlight for a few seconds.

                                        @isazi nice so it essentially removes the requirement of a button press. That was what I had hoped would be the case. Can you then touch the screen to cycle through data elements/complications?

                                            No, it just activates the backlight. You must press a button to cycle through screens.
