@Brad_Olwin I am sorry about the duplication. If this post is not contributed anything useful for the forum, please remove it.

@Kzznv You have a vote up, I will leave it to your decision. If you want I can remove it or if you like I will leave it up.

@Brad_Olwin Let’s keep it up, thank you

To me Suunto watches should be thinner and that’s what I have voted for. Although this should help in WHR reading, in that area there’s still ways to improve.

So those are my two main areas of improvement.

@Kzznv Suunto don’t have to change anything in principal design. Ok, concept a new bezel for commercial tone, a new wrist HR sensor with solid results, investigate the potential graphene batteries to provide mV to new generation GPS chipsets dual frequency and invest in software developing more and fast.

@Luís-Pinto The OHR on the Suunto 7 is awesome, I think that one will work for just about anyone.

[JorgeFD]

@Brad_Olwin yes but this is due to the s7 design: thicker and lighter. S9 is bulky and heavy so it is impossible (at least for me) to get consistent readings. Only when I used the velcro strap I get consistent readings (more or less)

[Brad_Olwin]

@jorgefd78 It is not the bulk, the S5 does no better than my S9 for me, the S7 is completely different hardware.

@jorgefd78 s7 70g vs s9 74g (Ti version). Not big difference

@Maryn my S9 Ambassador weighs 68 grams

[Kzznv]

@Luís-Pinto Agreed. The current design of the S9 is nice. However, there are definitely spaces for improvement for the wrist HR sensor, graphene batteries, GPS, and step counts.

[Kzznv]

@Brad_Olwin if the OHR is working well on the S7, hope that Suunto will upgrade the next gen S9 with this new OHR sensor.
