@zhang965 me ? I never leave home without my lubricant. You never know what happens.

Explanatory comment to my previous post. I was in the store today and compared the displays of others S9P. It turned out that this model has such a display. I mean backlight has a slightly pink tint. It is not visible when we are outside but it is noticeable in the low light conditions.
Is it a defect? I do not think so.
Maybe I’ve been working with colors too long
Anyway first run tomorrow, yeah!

@s1ngletracker agree when it comes to pushing the pin into the holes. It looks much more elegant though

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos HR below 50 while sitting is nothing impossible, I think

@andré-faria 'dat cardboard laptop stand is money.

@aroo7 certainly not impossible, 43 for me while sitting/resting

@chrisa Is is possible to take out the spring bars from the supplied strap? I’m thinking of using a different strap when my watch arrives but can’t work out from the videos I’ve watched if it’s possible to take out the spring bars from the supplied strap. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

@iowboy
straps that fit usually come with the quick release bars

@freeheeler Hi. The hook straps I use don’t. I’ve always had to use the spring bars that came with my watch.

@iowboy I am not sure… have never done it. There is a quite big metal part on it of which I am not sure if it will be difficult to pull it through the “hollow part” (don’t know if this makes sense in English ) here are some pics:

@chrisa Thanks. Your pics were brilliant and really helped.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos no 40 is common among trained people

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@chrisc92 isn’t that 45 ? I get 48-40 but not 40 at the middle of the day

33 beats per minute
Sleeping only seven hours a night, Kilian Jornet seems almost superhuman. His resting heartbeat is extremely low at 33 beats per minute, compared with the average man’s 60 per minute or an athlete’s 40 per minute.

I wanted to say that 40 while it’s an athletes resting hr it’s not all times from at least what I have seen in my close circles. I might be wrong.

I’m bradicardic and I don’t even have an S9 so I won’t reply

@andré-faria it is slower and the screen not quite as vivid I am afraid .

Compared to a 645 I feel there is little to be justifying the price . I don’t really get it but it is indeed nice looking

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos

I get a very high resting rate after mowing a lawn.

@thanasis Re you sure the screen is not so vivid ? Afaik compared to most FR (and the lastest) according to users it’s more vivid.

Regarding snappiness of the ui all suuntos have the same. It’s the dma engine that is set for stability not performance.

@chrisa
I agree: the quick release bars belong to the strap. it sounds silly but IMHO they are a simple “system”.

Thanks for the answer regarding snappiness.
Regarding the vividness compared to FR245 I think the fr245 is more vivid. But when compared to f6s sapphire the s9p is more vivid and we can see much better.

Regarding this comment, from one side I understand it well.
There are some handy options/customizations missing from Suunto s9p to most FR series.
I think the price of S9P is justified by its weight/quality/design and stability. We can’t forget that the s9p has metal casing and sapphire glass also.
Unfortunately, regarding product point of view not everytime these things can be transmitted “in the paper”.
Also regarding the snappiness, although I understand the decision, sometimes it gives the impression of “old hardware”/“badly optimized”. I think it is a thing to take care because in the end it is a 700eur watch, not a 150eur one.
But yeah maybe it was not reported by testers as an “issue”.
Fortunately with recent actions from suunto we can expect continuous improvement on the watch regarding functions and Hope performance.
