S9P review from a non-target audience

@nickk ai ai let’s not complicate it but let’s see what can be cooked

But don’t expect anything soon

I know that zombies are for sure contained under the umbrella ️ corp

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I don’t really expect that soon, but just wanted to leave it out there It’s really a quality of life (daily wear) kind of situation.

With S9P:
The GPS trace for my first run with S9P is amazing, I could not beg for more, I still notice some speed drop, but generally it’s perfect.

Hi, Interested to know what GPS Combo you used?
I have tried GPS + Glonass: so so results - I get quite bad offset even though I run with watch face mostly facing the sky rather than facing the side

and GPS + Beidou: slightly better results for Northumberland UK - less offset noticed, very similar if not the same as S9B tracks

I know many variables / daily conditions can influence etc but still interested to know your sat combo used.
Many thanks

Have you tried GPS only?

I use GPS + Galileo

No! I haven’t or indeed the galileo combo, both of which I will try
Many thanks

@zhang965
nice summary

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@nickk for sure.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@tonyg I think that the offset may be because of fused speed - as long as it stays constant until you change direction. But that’s just my hypothesis.

[TonyG]

@łukasz-szmigiel interesting hypothesis; the offset does appear at random times after a 90 deg. turn, then sometimes corrects after another 90deg turn, not consistently; so may be coincident. My next run will be using Galileo combo, I will keep a closer eye on the offsets if any.
apologies @zhang965 for the slight hijack of your review.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@tonyg I’ve observed this with previous firmware on S5 too (it hardly ever happens on current). I suspect that when running constantly if fusedspeed is at work, such offsets must happen in order to avoid discrepancies between pace and distance.

So when you turn and there’s an offset compared to your real location but you continue running, the offset will remain as correcting it would change pace.

I suspect there’s a certain speed and angle threshold for when it can be corrected.

Update a GPS test

Nice review!

Have you tested the OHR during an activity?

In the beginning I used my S9B without a HR belt and the HR always was 46-60bpm, but my HR was 135-140bpm.

Nope, I only use HR belt for sports…

@zhang965 thanks!

Nice review!!
I could see myself buying a S9P but the lack of an official Suunto web frontend comparable to movescount is totally unacceptable to me at such price range.

[MiniForklift]

Thanks for this in depth data and review, really appreciate you taking the time to type it all up

When Windows 11 comes out later this year the Suunto Android app “should” run on it. We’ll see. Of course, that still won’t be a full web site.

@jsuarez it’s not only Suunto. Coros also does not have any web frontend. If web front is very important to you, only Garmin and Polar still have them.

You can use sport tracker as the web front-end, you can log in with your suuntoApp account

[jsuarez]

@kk1n76 That’s what I did almost 2 years ago.
