Suunto 9 Peak
-
@fazel maybe
-
@freeheeler That’s exactly why I ordered it. Besides the technical improvements.
I use the watch in all my sports, but also on working days. The S9B is quite thick and doesn’t always fit neatly under the sleeve. I think the S9P meets all my demands, in both technical and fashion way. Although I wouldn’t mind if the diameter had stayed the same and only the thickness was reduced, but I think I can get used to the smaller diameter. -
@surfboomerang the S9B is not bulky. It’s a statement
-
@surfboomerang
I totally understand this, I would immediately vote for an S9P+, same height, Ø50mm and a bezel with few design details, similat to S9B Titanium and THIS would be my next birthday present
I see @zrumlow 's point. I don’t have small wrists either. I am small, but to scale I would look like a viking
S9B Ti just looks right on my wrist.And yes, while I don’t have any info and can only tell my impression: I don’t believe S9 will be obsolete any time soon. I believe @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

@stefan-kersting
it does not appear bulky… at least on my wrist
but in mountain biking, it has the tendency to be a tad branch catchy… and when out in the powder, the velcro strap of my hestra lobster glove is pushed to its limit.
same diameter but a tiny bit flattisher would not hurt my design taste -
I think that everybody needs to choose using their needs and their likings. Now we have a newer model with different size, it is good because we have more options. It is normal that the new S9P has new hardware and functions, in fact if it hasn’t we would be talking about the lack of evolution instead of if we like it more or less.
I do have small wrist, when I run I use the 3rd hole of the strap and I do not think that the S9B is big or bulky, in fact I like its size very much but I never tried the S9P so I can’t compare if it is better or not. What It is sure is that I’m not going to buy a new watch when I’m still very satisfied with the S9B and it will have new functions and additions, anyway I’m open to presents from Suunto or other generous users
.I like that Suunto continues with the development of the S line as it is, and, for me, the longer is the gap between the new models the better, better for the planet, better for a healthier life style (less social pressure to have the last/newer model always), better for our pockets, better for the company in a long term, …

I remember I wanted to buy a new GoreTex shell two years ago, and in one of the review the reviewer said he could not wear it over a S9 baro

@cosmecosta
100% agree!!@isazi
I would say, it is the jackets fault
…this should not happen with an Arc’teryx… they are developed in line with Suunto, aren’t they? -

@isazi
2016? So it’s still almost new
I think I bought my alpha sv back in 2015… still ok, I did not yet have a look around for a new one -
@stefan-kersting Here is a statement, a fully manual Suunto:).
-
@brad_olwin
At least no lock button is required -
@brad_olwin
I see it’s already beer o’clock on your Suunto 
-
@freeheeler @Brad_Olwin @surfboomerang I think this get OTA updates, right?
-
-
@suzzlo True. if you get a magnet it updates the settings of the watch without touching it
-
@lexterm77 What’s with the price? I see $699 on every site…
edit: except Canada I see
-
@lexterm77 WOW fuck! are this USD?
-
0.83 for USD with taxes.

Maybe a dumb question, do we get any advantage when we pre order?
At 17 june there won’t be “normal stock” ?
