Suunto 9 Peak

@surfboomerang a separate topic just for “watch face issues” would be better, so we can keep track and forward everything to Suunto.

@omunoz
Feel the same, charging is really fast.
I imagine that with little powerbank, one could charge on the go during some pauses in long expected activities.

[surfboomerang]

@isazi Good idea. I’ll open one soon.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@mff73 yes but mind the activity capacity.

Some people abuse this function to record like 200h of data. The watch can hold up to ~50h of 1s data (belt pods etc).

The S9P looks like a toy compared to the SSU… now I just have to hold out at job somehow

[aroo7]

I think I’m unlucky, the backlight in my S9P has a shade of magenta, I compared to my old SSU and I can clearly see the difference, especially with the green color
someone had the same issue?

[sartoric]

@aroo7
Maybe a comparison picture would help

[aroo7]

@sartoric
Green is not green more like blue

[A Former User]

@aroo7 Truth be told, green in S9 is also kind of like aqua. Did you make those photos in neutral light?

[sartoric]

@aroo7
Same issue outside in the sun ?
Could be some reflection due to artificial lights and sapphire glass

[Stas Varazhbit]

Guys, I figured out what the S9P is like. Suunto Lumi only with new hardware

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@aroo7 all transreflective screens have a little of those issues. If this is under a lot of backlight it’s ok. If it’s under little/none it depends

[aroo7]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos the white dial is highlighted in pink light. It looks a bit like night mode

[aroo7]

@sartoric and @NickK it is not a reflection. the dial is highlighted in pink light, it is not visible outside in the sun

First impressions on the S9P replacing my S9Baro titanium:

DESIGN

• It is really very very beautiful but I find it too small as its screen. I think that for my wrist size the ideal would be a watch of about 46mm with a bigger screen for my eyes
  On the other hand, for my wife’s wrist who also ordered one, it is perfect!
• Very pleasant to wear
• The screen is of much better quality than the S9B

FUNCTIONALITY

• During my test, I left at an altitude of 84m and I made 5 accelerations of 30’’ with recovery of 45’’ on a small circuit to test the GPS precision and with the OHR:
  - When I came back to the starting point, my altitude was 82m
  - The GPS track (GPS+QZSS+BEIDOU) seems to be really good as you can see on the circuit training I did 8 times. - The pace curve shows the accelerations well
• My heart rate was a little higher than usual at the same pace, about 5-10 beats above normal, which is too much. On the other hand, the 5 accelerations are clearly visible and the watch seems quite responsive. I will continue to test this because it seems promising but there is still room for improvement in terms of reliability. It’s useless for me if the accuracy is not improved.
• SpO2 is not regular enough and the fluctuations are important when comparing two measurements one after the other, which makes this feature not very useful if it lacks reliability…
• I’m waiting for a feature to do a recovery test based on heart rate variability.-
  I don’t know yet if I’ll test the ORH on my run this week end because I don’t trust it… to see

Same. But I find the display clearer to read, it has more contrast and coating on sapphire is less reflective compared to S9B.

Mine arrived today. I like the screen! It’s much crisper than the S5: here are some pics side by side. It’s really a „light“ watch compared even with the S5

With backlight

Without backlight outdoors

Comparing „the green“

Will do some walking now- running and cycling at the weekend is planned .

I don’t mean light reflection ON the screen but through the screen due to backlight and indoor light.
Check the images up here … do you see the same reddish colors on natural (sun) light ?

You like it tight, isn’t it ?

[ChrisA]

@sartoric yes - it was a bit tight Just got it a few minutes before the pictures and I still “struggle” which hole in the strap to choose. But I like the new “pin” to fix the strap - kept it a bit looser on short first test walk. Really very readable display and almost not noticeable on the wrist!
