@dimitrios-kanellopoulos without a WHR with a strap it could turn out.
-
Can any of the users say if the HR belt works well, or if there are mistakes with heart rate, my sport wrist HR goes crazy and I want to replace it with Suunto9
-
@michał-muszyński take you’re pick: there’s plethora of Bluetooth heart rate monitors you can use! And they’ll all work with your WHR, saving you the price of a new watch.
(Reasons to get the S9: it’s new, it’s fancy, and it has that inertial tracking thing if you’re running a long way, but I think that’s it.)
-
@michał-muszyński how hr belt can be related to the watch itself, maybe cheaper is to change old belt with new one instead of new watch and realize that old belt was faulty

I love the signature you put for the profile

Now I had time to analyze the first experiences with the Suunto 9. I think the design is well done. The watch is certainly a good evolution of the Ultra. Who trains after heart rate should rather take a strap but that’s my opinion in all watches so. The new GPS chip delivers good values comparable to the Spartan Ultra. I’m curious if the GPS recording in the mountains works so well.

My moves are virtually all in the mountains…the S9 is working well

After a few runs and a couple gym workouts, I am very happy with the S9. The tracks are as good or better than the SSU and the battery life is unbelievably good. It seems smaller than the SSU and is comfortable. I did not wear two watches to compare tracks, I leave that to the experts! The OHR works for daily tracking and sleeping, it is ok but not great for me for running…I will be wearing the belt for runs. The watch looks great and the intelligent battery monitoring is very nice. An example with OHR here and with the belt here.

@brad_olwin
my training is pace based so the pulse is not that important to me. but the example below with WHR shows that the results do not always have to differ greatly. -
Here is a track from this weekend. The recording is very good for what I would consider difficult GPS conditions, deep walled canyon with a lot of tree cover in some areas. Optical HR was great once I tightened the watch a little higher on my wrist (note that I have little arm hair and light skin.)

Note that I’m using a Stryd for power and distance as well.

@fleshymutant I also still hoping to get glonass soon. Got the deepest canyon of the world race coming up and there things get wanky.

After 2 tests I’m very happy to with Suunto 9, yesterday a run and today a hike.
With the run OHR works like a charm, only I tightened it up, not moving up my arm as Suunto suggest.
This is the workout

Today the hike in the beginning (from 08 to10) I have some up HR without reason but I tightened it up more, and moving up and everything starts to be correct and logical.
Today workout: http://www.movescount.com/es/moves/move228295684
Yesterday we start a discussion with @SlaSh on suunto app that perhaps the kind of strap goes with Suunto 9 mades OHR acts so well, encapsulating more the watch and avoiding noise, but today that I have some noise and wrong measures in the beginning, I understand that today behavior will be the habitual
With GPS what I expect, i some scenarios, specially into the cities, is less precise than the Baro, but in the forest and the country I acts perfectly and FusedTrack works as I expect.
Here a comparision between my Baro and Suunto 9:
-
@aldnet @SlaSh My experience with OHR has not been good! Most of this run was in Zone 1/2 HR with a bit of Z3 climbing. Most of the time I looked at the S9, my HR was 180 or above. My max is in the mid 180s. http://www.movescount.com/moves/move228337309
-
@brad_olwin mmm, interesting, that was the behaviour I had sometimes with Baro
Do tou tightned up the watch to the wrist?
But it seems that in the case of OHR seems S9 is like Baro.
Today measures with walking workouts are good
Tomorrow I will test with treadmill

@aldnet yes, done all of that. Walking is fine so is sitting. Not running.
-
@aldnet it depends what your hands are doing during running and on what kind surface you running and ascent or descent
for stadium run ohrm will be just fine, for trail running don’t know -
@slash so, it’s a lottery? XD

Based on what I have read so far ut is hard to justify an upgrade from SSU to S9. Or are you able to convince me?

@marius-jacobsen-eggerud same for me to replace baro
maybe some day when it is going to be discounted to reasonable price. -
@aldnet kinda, I know one weird runner who is barely moving his hands and elbows are tucked to his ribs, for him any ohrm is sufficient
