@prenj I think he browsed thru sports in exercise menu. Anyway, when people get and test watch with final software, performance will be more clear.

Regarding snappiness of the peak, it is my impression or sometimes it renders laggy?

(Non production firmware? Issue with the Instagram video ?)

I can’t access the story, but as you can imagine there is no “production” firmware for the S9p yet. Should come at the same time the product begins shipping.

Story is not there anymore.
Thanks for clearing up. As the shipping is on 17th of june I would believe the firmware is already from prod.

Have any of the testers present on the forum tried S9P with bigger winter gloves? During skiing or mountaineering? I’m interested did any of you had any problems with smaller watch and smaller buttons? Tnx

@andré-faria Read @isazi post, it is correct.

Yes, I have used the Peak extensively for SkiMo with heavy gloves. The buttons are more difficult to press than the S9. But having said that, I had issues using the same gloves with the S9, I could often hit the wrong button and pause the watch. With lighter gloves or liners the buttons can easily be pressed. I did not find it as much a problem as I thought it would be.

Smaller watch? No, in fact, the ambient backlight on the S9 Peak makes Winter use much easier as I do not have to fiddle with backlight settings to see in predawn starts. Also, the higher contrast makes the watch easier to see even though smaller. When wearing both my S9 baro and the Peak I wore the Peak on my left hand (normal for my watch wearing) because it was the screen I wanted to use the most.

Okay let me clarify that properly. The device will arrive with a production firmware, but there will be another “real production” firmware already available when watches start arriving at people’s homes. After pairing the watch with the app it will download this firmware, that will have all functions announced in June.

@brad_olwin Thanks! S9B was fine for gloves that I have, I hope S9P will be fine. I expect it will be harder to press or find buttons under multiple layers and similar.

@brad_olwin How do you compare vibration strength between Peak and Baro?

I can barely feel it on Baro when running, no pun intended

Brad_Olwin

@nickk I think I answered this on another post, I agree with you on S9b, I miss the vibration all the time. For me the Peak may be a bit better but it is not strong enough. Others may have different opinions.

What is the memory-size for logbook, POI and routes?

Hi,

Quick question, is this watchface available in S9P?

People of the US of A and Canadaaaa… Pre-order floodgates have been opened!

Also available on Amazon, under same June 17th shipment starts conditions.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos but not the baro?

A Former User

My biggest question after thinking about the watch for a couple of days is, why didn’t they produce an updated version of the Baro with OTA updates and PaO2 sensor. I understand that Suunto clearly has a software trajectory which everyone has different expectations of, but with the production of the Peak the Titanium is relatively obsolete.

@zrumlow
good question. I would say they want to reach another, wider group of users. With all the surveys we have received, this must be the essence. In my opinion this watch is the offroader that can go 250km/h and hence meets the requirements for mountaineers as for track and field athletes and you don’t need to change it after you shower put back on the suite and go back to meetings with customers

Like i said - I’m waiting for Suunto Armor - Tactical Edition With all the features there is… Praise the lord…

@freeheeler right, so they basically created a spinoff or just moved the watch in a new direction entirely. I know I’m not necessarily in the majority, but the smaller watchface looks a little ridiculous on my relatively large wrist, so that alone would make the watch one which I could only really wear for exercise. Though, I’m more concerned though that the 9 titanium has essentially baked in obsolescence, which I think was somewhat excusable with the OG, but we’re now three years out from that point. Unless there is another update coming, I just don’t see a reason for the 9 titanium to have been produced other than to move new product. Which, if the case, I guess we should respect the hustle(rs).

One last gripe, this naming system is so stupid. I cannot think of another consumer product which is strictly named numerically. Currently, it’s not an issue, but I would imagine that we should expect biennial updates (considering last year was so weird), and eventually, naming something the Suunto 9 Peak Titanium 2 is just going to be nonsense.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@zrumlow the 9 baro and non baro and the 3,5 are not obsolete. We continue with this collection.

The s9P if it feels small, that’s something to tell you to stay with your 9

@fazel maybe
