@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Just selling an empty box? No worries about battery lifetime
-
@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
-
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
-
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…
-
@wakarimasen what tricks does the Vallencel have?
-
@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.’ -
@wakarimasen but what more todo?
-
@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.
-
@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.

Maybe put it next to a loud speaker so it can measure the pressure changes (bass) and the light of the HR will blink in the rhythm of the music?
-
@wakarimasen Interesting, the datasheet states that the average current consumption is about 1.5 mA. You would think that would be low enough for 24x7 continuous HR tracking. Maybe Suunto uses a customized design with more light to improve accuracy on the S9.
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I think I remember reading that heart rate, HRV and motion is used to estimate sleep stages. From what I’ve seen, the S9 Baro has all of this!

I did not notice that… I have to watch it again. But basically: new baro hole position would be very nice! IMHO the position of the baro holes is crucial and I would absolutely appreciate when the Suunto Team does recognize and optimize it for all use cases.
yes, I’m waiting about his comments once he’s allowed to officially talk about it, right @Brad_Olwin
Edit: too bad, not only the post was deleted but also the video itself from Suunto Latvia… but that’s alright, I’ll wait for the officials in 4 days, 1h 14min
