S9B chassis with S9 Peak technology inside

MiniForklift

Have to agree. I’d like many of the extras that the Peak has but I just prefer the size and clout of my S9B; downsizing from 50mm to 43mm is a big jump to make, and as a runner I do favour a big screen

FWIW I’m not fussed on the Oxygen sensor, seems like it would rarely be required and I’d be surprised if the readings were overly accurate anyway

@miniforklift I’ll keep both for now. Maybe I’ll decide to sell one in the future.

@becco981 well, I had one S9P steel for three weeks in the Alps recently, hiking, mountaineering, running, mountain biking. No issues.

@isazi No watch is bulletproof. I managed to hit my watch on my surfboard, which is basically sanding paper on the top. The steel and glass don’t have any scratch, but the black coating did took a hit.

But hey, it’s an outdoor watch so eventually it will have some scars. Just a sign that you use the watch

@miniforklift I’d agree, I’d really be after the better battery life and high contrast screen an updated S9B with S9P internals could offer. The other stuff would be a ‘nice to have’. If they could also make the bezel smaller on the S9B the screen could be really big and easy to read.

@surfboomerang sure, my S9B is also very scratched from years of hitting rocks (and walls at home). I expect my black S9P to lose paint at some point.

What about a S9P with a more sporty and outdoor look? like S9B Ambassador Edition with new hardware
S9P looks like some Samsung Galaxy or Huawei smartwatch.

@theguyfromthesummit I think it’s safe to say more looks will come eventually, just like with s9b.

@dmytro

Let’s put my 2 cents here …

The S9Baro
with the contrast of the S9Peak
and a screen that take all the size of the area (so 30% bigger)
but still with a huge battery life …
plus if possible some of the suggestions I proposed
… no … ALL

well well well … I will start to save money immediaelly for having the chance to buy it …
Are we not starting to imaging what a S10PeakBaro could be

DMytro

@mister-pyc I think it was mentioned that one can’t avoid big bezels with current screen technology and I doubt suunto will drastically change the hardware in another S9 interaction ( if it will exist at all). But I’ll probably be improved in s11 or whatnot, so in a hugely new type of watch.
Of course, just my opinion, we’ll see what the future brings.

@dmytro yes yes … the 9 serie might see some software upgrade, and let’s wait a 10 or 11 serie with a bigger new brighter hardware screen … Let’s be patient and for the moment appreciate this 9 baro which days after days I love more and more and more
