@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yes, but somehow I find it fiddly when running
-
@morskilav agreed its a “hack” rather a good behavour. However, just saying it out loud, I enable the backlight via options for night running.

@suzzlo I did not mean it is important but would be nice to have. I live at the sea, I am often going to sea and want to convey the message to other people what is the temperature. Certainly I can live without it but having temperature sensor onboard makes pitty not to use it
-
@morskilav @Egika just asked, because maybe I was missing something…

@suzzlo said in Pros/Cons of Suunto 9 BARO * ONLY * be fair and polite!:
@johann-fuehrer I could close it for you… if its what you want… and I don’t think is that you want
You’re right: NO! I don’t want it !!

hey guys and ladies that come from ambit and are happy with s9b now:
how did you get rid of your ambit apps addiction? didn’t you use the apps at all? or did s9b display values that made apps not required for you anymore?
or are there apps (hence values) that you miss now? -
@TELE-HO
I am not a former Ambit (Apps) user and do not have an S9 (SSU user) but would love to have a current hill gradient as a field in sports watch mode. I miss that value… -
@DavorP
yes that’s something I used to use last year on the road bike but removed it for the sake of (for me) more important apps (5 apps is the limit).
but I would appreciate to use it if it becomes standard in s9b -

On my A3P, which I still have, I used apps to have appropriate downhill stats for alpine ski, and also for HR-based recovery during interval runs. The SSU provides the skiing data fields out of the box, but HR-based recovery is only possible with the Ambit apps.

Really?
Do you run with headlight?
With my headlight, i don’t need to activate the backlight.
It’s perfect with my S9b and my A3P. -

It’s perfect with my S9b and my A3P.Yeah, I’d say complete darkness isn’t a problem because I usually run with a light. The problem is running in the afternoon when it just starts getting darker, especially when running into darker patches of forest.
I could still see A3P perfectly in those conditions but struggle to see Suunto 9 without backlight.

@silentvoyager
another question about watch mode as I sometimes see just black screens when I see people wearing S9ers casual…
is this a setting to save battery? or does it only appear to be black? or do you need to activate the screen to see the time? -
In watch mode there is no black screen saving battery.
There is this option during an activity. “Screen time out”. 10sec after you do not press any buttons, goes off -
@Saketo-Nemo
but no need to activate it… because when I want to look at the values I don’t want to touch my watch every time first.
and I understand that battery lasts around 30 hours with HR chest and display on setting.
I think all these are pro’s for me
-
@Saketo-Nemo there is a black screen. When not moving my wrist after some time it is activated but deactivates easily upon a light move

is this a setting to save battery? or does it only appear to be black?Yeah, the screen gets very dim when it times out. It appears to be black. In fact often I can hardly see the screen and have to activate the watch even to see the time.
That bothers me because on all F6 photos I’ve seen so far the screen appears way more crisp.
-
@morskilav
ok, same as a3ps -
@morskilav
Of course, if the watch remains immobile for a certain period of time, it turns off the screen, but I doubt that it is the situation that @TELE-HO talks about.
In everyday life, the screen, in clock mode, turns off right during the night. or if we take it off our wrist. Not while you’re out and about. -

@Saketo-Nemo
with a slight wrist motion I guess?
