Suunto 9 Peak

@brad_olwin oh in trail I think it’s difficult for all products, it depends on elevation but also from the nature of the terrain : sand , mud, rocks have consequences on Running Efficiency. Also woods cause temporary GPS losses, and altitude causes oxygen limitation and hypoxic conditions, more HR for same VO2 consumption.
Vertical speed is more important than pace and specific algorithm should be developped. With Barometer Suunto would have a good platform to make a specific trail sport mode, maybe spO2 could help to determine your acclimation to altitude (Garmin has developed such an index)

@stromdiddily I fully agree with you, keep the same thickness but maybe a bigger screen, maybe 48 mm ? Kind of lighter S7 formfactor ?

Is it too early to ask for a Suunto 9 Peak XL?

I really dig the form factor but it is WAY small compared to the baro…sorry

I’ll be in for 50mm, a customized bezel and bigger buttons

…I’m skilled in Creo, I could also give a hand there… just to mention it once again

The custom mode remains the default one once used it for the sport mode

Not if you undo the changes in the custom mode to match performance profile. After this, Perfomance will be the default again.

isazi

@surfboomerang well, should not happen that custom remains the default even if you switch to something else

surfboomerang

@isazi I agree. Last selected would be better.

@andré-faria swipe to go back to the watch face.

@дима-мельниченко said in Suunto 9 Peak:

@andré-faria you could hold down the middle button to quickly return to main screen.

Thank you guys, I didn’t know of this tricks.
Although they solved the “issue”, I think it would be more natural to just continue moving the menu (and maybe less complicated to implement).

@andré-faria long hold the menu to go back from some places as well

I set intervals 12x(30s int + 15s rec) it is same problem as baro, when you finish interval and reset and press start again it stays at start interval screen until first interval expires. Not that is a big bug but sort of annoying.

isazi

@lexterm77 using Suunto+ also?

@lexterm77 using Suunto+ also?

S Plus Weather Insight, Itensity zone set for power, no itensity target set, Target: distance.

I rememered same type of interval on May 21st on Baro, press start, shows interval 1 on screen, then instead of going to interval screen goes back to start screen where shows start pointed at start button but it actually starts counting. If you just keep going it eventually returns to interval screen.

isazi

@lexterm77 I think this bug is already known, not sure if the issue is S+ now. I’ll check and get back to you.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@lexterm77 could you try without s+?

lexterm77

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos

I can try without s+, on first interval is fine, it is when you reset interval and do a second one, and a third one. I can try again tonight on my easy trail run.

isazi

@lexterm77 so the issue should be the S+ now, and it is known to Suunto (so we hope in a fix).

lexterm77

@isazi

I tried same without S+ There were no problems this time.

Question for anyone who has the titanium 9 Peak. The body of the watch is brushed titanium but the thin top rim around the watch face looks like polished titanium. I’ve now had my S9P for about 1.5 weeks and in just the past couple days I’ve noticed that one side of that top thin rim is scratched. It’s easy to tell the difference because the rest of the rim is very nicely polished.

What I’m not sure about is whether the watch actually came like this (like a manufacturing defect) and I simply didn’t notice until now, or whether the polished rim actually scratches pretty easy.

Have any of you with the titanium version noticed this polished rim getting scratched/scuffed already? Or is it likely that mine came this way any it was scuffed from the start? Thanks!

Brad_Olwin

@bnorthrop It does scratch easily, my test version was scratched quite a bit and so is the one I purchased. It doesn’t bother me much, they are not that easy to see.

bnorthrop

@brad_olwin Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m not that bothered as long as the screen doesn’t also scratch, which I suspect (or at least hope) won’t happen nearly as easily.

Plus, I assume at some point the thin polished rim will be scratched enough it’ll just match the brushed look of the sides of the case
