S9P review from a non-target audience
-
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
-
@nickk for sure.
-
@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.
-
@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. -
@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. -
Thanks for this in depth data and review, really appreciate you taking the time to type it all up

-
@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.

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

@zhang965 Thank you, @zhang965 . However, that frontend is extremely subpar. It does not compare at all to Movescount.
yes I know, but it’s a good signal that a web interface could be developed after all.

@jsuarez have you tried quantified-self or runalyze? You can link both services with Suunto - sync will be automatic and you can also sync older workouts.
-
@zhang965 I’ve seen that you’ve managed to put the amount of GPS devices on QS charts - I don’t see such data with S5, is such data available only with S9?
