Suunto's newest watch is the 5 Peak

No adaptive training, at least not in highlights.

Suutno 5 peak looks nice, pretty much like S9P, but if I were to choose a design, I’ll choose Ambit3 vertical design (with its monochrome screen ofc) but has function like Suunto 9 (WHR, ABC, BT LE, etc).
For me monochrome display has its perks, looks like basic sportswatch with some smart capability, and low profile too.

@isazi soo, what are the new firmware features included in the watch? Or are there none at the moment.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

It’s priced better (cheaper) than the original S5 on launch. But is there anything significantly better or new apart from quick-release and new HR sensor?

[isazi]

@dulko79 it is there, like on Suunto 5.

[isazi]

@dmytro for that we need to wait the new firmware announcement, next ******

@isazi OK, I missed it.

[DMytro]

@dulko79 it was there in S5 already, if I understand correctly, it’s nothing that special, but still cool. And last time I asked it wasn’t supposed for s9.

[isazi]

@łukasz-szmigiel software-wise I believe it is the same as the S5 (like the S9P is the same as the S9B), hardware wise there are multiple changes.

Monday or Friday.

Cool watch, thanks suunto!

I wonder if the S5P’s display is better readable than the S9P. The display of the S9P has a lot of reflections, which makes it barely readable in shadows on a sunny day. At least for me (with very good eyesight).

[isazi]

My very fast comment on the new watch: it is very light, very comfortable, perfect to wear for long time. It is the watch for me? No, I prefer to have a barometer because I am interested in mountain activities, but to each their own device.

@isazi I wonder though, what makes 260 euro difference?
S5p doesn’t have baro, sapphire screen and light sensor, but costs 2 times less.

[isazi]

@dmytro not sure I can answer, market does not always makes sense (no matter what Adam Smit says). But also the body of the S9P is metal, while the S5P is plastic. Also smaller screen.

[dulko79]

@dmytro maybe material grade/quality difference?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@dmytro compass + materials

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos is compass really that expensive?
