Suunto 9 Peak

@дима-мельниченко Those bracelet looking trackers? I just saw them, but never explored more.

@surfboomerang Maybe ECG for HR tracking and optical for SpO2? Not sure if you can track SpO2 with ECG.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@surfboomerang remember that EGC needs both hands on the watch. Its for a single / focused reading. Like Spo2 works in many. (You have to stand still etc)

I had a Jawbone UP3. One of the best sleep tracking devices ever. And the app was the best of them all, pity it bankrupted. The limitation to the HR with the Jawbone was that it was measured only while sleep or rest. It couldn’t measure while running you need optics to do that I guess.
The metallic things on the s9 peak IMO are more like the polar’s one. To charge and to better detect when off wrist?!

DMytro

@dušan-ković yup, exactly those.

Theo Lakerveld

“remembering” the images from the Chinese site that leaked everything, it seems that there are no contact points for charging on the back of the device. Will this then be suitable for wireless charging only? That would be quite unique for sports watches, wouldn’t it?

Dušan Ković

Just wondering if the watch body will be 43mm did the screen stayed the same size as on S9B and they just made bezels thinner or the screen is also smaller?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@dušan-ković bezels are there for sure. Screen is different though (from what I see)

isazi

I for one would love a smaller watch. The S9 baro is awesome, but I have small wrists so it definitely looks huge.

Dušan Ković

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I hope one day suunto will have almost bezeless screen. But let’s hope new screen has more contrast and better visibility. I also don’t mind smaller watch. I got used to S9Bs size, but it is a big watch

@dušan-ković said in Suunto 9 Peak:

has more contrast and better visibility

Dušan Ković

Nice

Just stalked LIFEQ a bit, because of the new HR sensor. Is it the same one like in S7? I saw S7 picture on their webpage

Bulkan

@isazi I love bulky watches but not heavy. The new line of Titanium is pretty good on that.

I remember reading @Brad_Olwin how in ultras a heavy watch can be uncomfortable.

Saketo Nemo

Size also means weight, weight means less accuracy than the WHR.

Therefore a smaller watch with those characteristics is welcome

surfboomerang

@dušan-ković I think the size difference of the screen is not so big.
The titanium/stainless steel bezel of the current S9 is relatively big. If I measure my screen (incl the black bezel part, but without the stainless steel bezel) it is 43mm.
If I see the stainless steel bezel of the new S9, it looks much smaller so probably the screen size is almost identical to the current one.

The watch itself however will look smaller on the wrist.

Mi_chael

I see the screen is 1.2p compared to S9b is 1.4p.
But apparently it has a better contrast.

Saketo Nemo

@mi_chael
only a clarification: S9B is 1,34", not 1,4"

zvonejan

Am I the only one who likes big watches 50 or 51 mm diameter .Looks like only one ‘player’ stays with this dimensions

A Former User

made my decision: I will buy it

Question: I think bezel is good, or? Isn’t there GPS antenna and bezelless design today has disadvantages referring to GPS accuracy?

zhang965

since the Chinese seller page is still up, I can translate something if you need.

Btw do you know which gps chipset it is?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@mountainchris you will be very please about the GPS
