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

@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

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!
