Suunto 9 Peak
-
@chrisa I also have vision problems due to age (strong presbyopia and glasses but not always for running), hence my doubt about this Peak model and my preference for the S9B.
It would be necessary to test in real conditions …
I specify that I only use the watch for sport and therefore not really interested in a small “all-purpose” model. -
@rob33 Yes you’re right! One must really „see“ it by oneself! @Brad_Olwin wrote, that the display is better, sharper and with the ambiance light sensor it might be a really good choice for people whose eyes are getting older or are weaker due to eye problems. Mine are „just“ the normal deterioration after you reached the 40s, seeing small and low contrast not sharp anymore.

I have 53 years
without glasses I need big numbers, I use 3 fields max 4.
I also have sunglasses in my sight and there no more worries! But I also like to run without (bad weather, night etc …) -
@chrisa I am 45 now and my eyes are not longer the same… Have already som problems with the S9B when moving fast. Thinking of the further evolution of watches Suunto should have the following in mind. The users of this premium segment are getting older and older
it is important to remember that. And it is often these group that has ressources to buy watches in this premium segment -
@stefan-kersting Totally agree!
-
@stefan-kersting Yes, completely agree. When you’re in your 20s and 30s you might not have the money or you need it for other things like building a house and the children. A friend of mine sells cars and he sells a lot of new VW Golf GTIs to people 40+ whose dream car that was when they were 20, but they could not afford it back then…

@dulko79 in a couple of years there will be a voice feature that tells you your pace because we can not see it on the watch
-
@stefan-kersting And folks will complain about the volume, accent and tone. “These young folks don’t enunciate clearly enough for older ears …”
-
@fenr1r Laugh, laugh, you’ll see when you’re over fifty …
If you continue to play sports … -
it is through these exchanges that we see that not everyone has the same expectations …
-
@dulko79 we will probably have cyborg eyes, before the lock button is implemented.
-
@rob33 Wry joke from experience, not mockery. Fifty indeed in rearview, and not as close as it sometimes seems.

And in 2031 “waiting for blink lock” became a Forum signature … In the interim.
-
And what about a Suunt’Optic online shop? We have beta testers (50’s bad eyed sportsmen), we have designers (too much lock button focused but…) we surely have some marketing guys
What do we miss? -
@mff73
that’s why I start to free myself from certain ideas -

It’s already here. Named Garmin. Already tells you your pace and heart rate. Long-press a light button and you can even call for help. “I fell and I cannot get up!”
-
@nickk Strava and RK had that. AVG pace per KM. Then its usefull
