      As I understand, all Titanium models from Suunto seems to suffer from this,
      Its a pity they didn’t learn anything between the Titanium 9 peak pro and the Race S.
      c’mon, its not that hard ? no ?

        Maybe all the models mount the same vibration unit, but the effect is bigger on the titanium versions, which are lighter.

          @Elipsus @Stefano-M64 So, you are saying that it is known to be less of a problem on the stainless steel version? 😮

            @Elipsus My titanium Race S vibrates with less intensity than the SS model. What the OP describes I observe on 9PP but not on any model since.

              Maybe my perception of the vibration is just different but I’ve certainly not found the vibration overly loud or intrusive on my steel Race S. I’d personally say it’s pretty spot on for my needs because it’s noticeable enough to feel during an activity while the watch is worn over a long-sleeve top in winter but not so loud that other people would notice in a meeting when I receive a notification.

                feel about the same with my steel race, for me it could be a bit less strong when at home or in office, but during outdoor activity it’s of the right intensity. So, overall i would say it’s ok.

                    @Elipsus as I wrote, IF the vibration unit is the same for all model (but I don’t know if that is true or not), then the feedback would be greater on the titanium models since they are lighter.

                      I would recomand for the developer, if posible, a “volume” for the haptic with some steps in between, like what was initially in the first software release and what is now in the latest updaes. After the software update on Race Titanium (not S) the haptic sound is very low for me, almost imperceptible. I do have the felying that something maybe is broken. I will need something in between and to have all the people happy, a “volume” slide or 3-4 points predefine will be fine.

                        @deliu-b definitely, the level of the vibration should be customizable in every suunto watch, I use Vertical and alerts, notifications should more power by vibrations and by bips sound
