Suunto 9 Peak

@egika or a watch that bothers you less

@egika said in Suunto 9 Peak:

So silence of mind is a way of selling a watch with no features

Maybe a slap band?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@egika or a watch with no screen or any output to the user. Not even the time

[wakarimasen]

@egika Still miss this feature. I loved my Saab

[surfboomerang]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Just selling an empty box? No worries about battery lifetime

[DMytro]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos oh, thats like nophone! They were selling a phone shaped slab of plastic to help people with phone addiction. You feel the weight of a phone in your pocket, but can use no feature.

@olymay
Suunto Latvia might have the 25th already?
…it would be really interesting to test and feel how these buttons work with gloves!

Good morning ️

Thank you very much @sky-runner and @olymay

[wakarimasen]

Crap! I keep missing the revealing posts.

@freeheeler well, I’m sure you can think of a person that uses gloves for skiing and is very active here, and that may be comment on that in the future

@wakarimasen there was a youtube video this morning, you could clearly see the watch, I will only say that i really like the quality of screen

[wakarimasen]

I’m just curious about whether or not the existing 9 Baro will become a legacy model. Thinner and smaller doesn’t do much for me, and I’m happy enough with the screen on my Spartan. A longer battery life would be welcome (which the 9 brings) and from what I’ve read, the existing Valencell sensor has enough tricks up its sleeve to be unlocked via firmware. Tempted to just buy the S9 Baro anyway…

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@wakarimasen what tricks does the Vallencel have?

[wakarimasen]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Only what I read on the DC Rainmaker review:
‘This unit contains Valencell’s latest sensor, version 1.2 That means that Suunto actually has a bunch more that they can do in terms of biometrics down the road if they wanted to via firmware updates. Again, it’s in there – but that does require software be written around it and then software on apps and websites to support it as well.’

Valencell 1.2

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@wakarimasen but what more todo?

[wakarimasen]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Sleep tracking for me: I’m interested in the light/ deep/ REM sleep thing. I don’t get that at the moment on my Spartan, and it’s one area where the Vantage V really shines.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@wakarimasen got it. The s9 has no REM phase detection though. It only has deep/normal sleep classification.

I saw the video, "and if it is real " I have to say that some doubts that I have regarding the design are already erased from my mind. The watch in people wrist looks really nice and gorgeous. As @freeheeler says, I would like to hear comments about the buttons but I’m sure this has been properly tested.

Seems that the barometer has a new position, in the video there where two holes under the Suunto logo, so now the holes will be in the internal side of the arms, so more difficult to block them with the arm movement.

Regarding the screens shown, besides the new watchface, that I like, nothing that we haven’t seen yet…but I’m sure Suunto is going to surprise us with something.
