Suunto 9 Peak (review and specs)

[Richard Thygesen]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos wow, the readability seems to be really good.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@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?

@pavel-samokha size difference is huge.

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!

[dulko79]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos that blue on white is beautiful

[northeast_trekker]

@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?

[isazi]

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

[northeast_trekker]

@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?

If you know where to look there are many already on SA:)

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

@brad_olwin please push me in the right direction. I’m especially looking for open water swim tracks as that is where my SSU is fooling me.

Oh for me this looks so good:
Titanium and black band
I wonder if there will be a future option to personalize:
titanium + black body (not blue).

@suzzlo altitude, in Greek

µ= 1/1000m?

[isazi]

@egika in English, in Greek that’s just an “m” (I assume, I only studied ancient and not modern Greek)

[Egika]

@isazi i know. just joking

[Bulkan]

Man I can’t wait to see the s9P for real. Looks pretty good and the screen… I love it.
