@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.

[DMytro]

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?

[DMytro]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos oh, so no compass either?

Couple of thoughts/questions:

• On the back of the watch, one can read 30M water resistance only… Wasn’t S5 50M?
• One can also read OW175 there, which is the Suunto 3 label, right? Perhaps graphic designers weren’t careful enough?
• Is it the same Valencell OHR sensor again that many people were complaining about? Or did it get any better?

The real watch has OW202 on the back.

• Is it the same Valencell OHR sensor again that many people were complaining about? Or did it get any better?

The HR is pretty good, not as good as the S9P, but pretty good. Usually few bpm difference from a chest strap. I only had issues in very cold weather where all OHR sensors tend to struggle.

@inkognito is the version 2.0 of the sensor.

Is pretty good reading.
