Suunto 9 Peak

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

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

@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

Green is not green more like blue

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!

Looks realy « mini » this new peak ! It must be bizar in the first times. We got used to having Ambits, Spartans or S9 at wirst but in there are thick.

Tell me: if i link a S9P with my SA, will i lose my customs sport mode ?
Can i create a new custom sport mode if i haven’t a Suunto watch linked to SA ?

Yes

No

And if your watch is busy syncing or so SA warns you that you that your watch is busy and you can’t save your sport mode customizations.

@chrisa The new pin at the strap doesn’t function so well with bike mount. It’s hard to push the pin on the hole and it to stay there during rides.

Wondering how Suunto planned this to be used? Or do I just need separate straps.
I think I got my first excuse for shopping

freeheeler

@s1ngletracker
I might be odd… but I prefer my watch on my wrist. It’s just a feeling, but I think it’s less likely that it gets damaged…
…nice bike, what I can see! … by the way

A small remark, when pushing down to see the HR on the watch, there is of course a delay before getting the first correct value.
On S9Baro I think that we had something visual to tell that watch was searching for the HR, in the current version of S9P, it is not the case (but the case for SpO2).

freeheeler

@v-sacre
the heart icon with a running circle during the search, yes.
Speaking about the delay: would it be possible to flip thru the screens more flowy? when I scroll down it always stops at the HR for few seconds before I can fluently scroll further down.

Regarding the delays, also for starting activity.
Is this due to animations?
Right now it is the only point I find in the watch a bit annoying, in some circunstances I find it “slow”.
I remember in android times there was a trick to disable animations and make it faster, I hope that is “possible” on the suunto s9p.
Or we are on the limit of the hardware?

Maryn

@andré-faria delays are longer than in S9b?
