Suunto 9 Peak
-
@surfboomerang larger ? People like designs as well…
-
@saketo-nemo hmmm, but S9P has probably all S9B features + different GPS chip, different HR sensor, BT 5.0, fast charge, etc. In my eyes it is next model. Why would new user buy B instead of P if P is better hardware to start with. Im just hoping suunto will not publish some next flagship S11 or whatever after some of us buy S9P
-
@surfboomerang
Exact. Bigger, cheaper, more proven, more … who knows what else. Without knowing S9P it is impossible to understand its differences with S9B. We’ll see -
Hmm… all true.
I guess time will tell -
Let me just say that we do not have any sign that the S9 (non peak) has been abandoned. Actually, we have plenty of signs it has not been abandoned, and this after 3 years from launch.
-
@saketo-nemo it is confirmed that the Peak version will be smaller than 50mm?
-
@markytarky Nothing is confirmed in this thread
-
@dušan-ković
Let’s say that were asked to us not to comment on the leaks because the watch is still under embargo, but I think I have seen data that are comparable from some points of view.Then, it’s just my thought, maybe Suunto will prove me wrong, but that design revolution of the three S9Bs (charcoal, blue titanium at x-alps) suggests to me that they will be sold (and supported?) for a long time to come.
It wouldn’t make sense to put them on the market a few weeks before the new watch was released.
-
@surfboomerang I know
just thinking…as that would be a huge disappointment for me. The size for me was and is just perfect. I cannot imagine they will make a smaller watch. Or well, if they do, they better keep also this “big” version -
@markytarky
I don’t know, I only know what you have read in this thread too -
@saketo-nemo I see your point, it is just that new S9Bs (2021) got me confused. Release same watch with different design really close before new watch (S9P) release. Also, all the info we got is from Chinese page, although it looks legit, could be faked. But also, if that info is correct, we have watch that has all hardware components updated and modernized. On paper it is better than S9B but we will see when it gets released. It is just weird to release new S9B and than release new better watch. Maybe to empty S9B parts stockpile with just new case design. Who knows… Just analyzing.

If it’s another generation but still in the same “S” line and the “old” devices are not marked as EOL - this is great news for everybody. One ecosystem (SA + “S” devices), more sizes and materials to choose from and the latest inclusion of S7 to the party. That is, if after S9P release “old” devices suddenly won’t go EOL (but that would be rather weird move). If the firmware is unified and there aren’t any super-dramatic changes to the platform that make old hardware obsolete, there’s nothing bad in going for S9B rather than S9P if one’s into larger watch overall.
-
@łukasz-szmigiel no EOL
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos yeah I’d be surprised
-
@łukasz-szmigiel EOL?
-
@aroo7
End Of Life.
I suppose -
@aroo7 end of life.
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos that’s actually great! There are not a lot of devices on the market that isn’t eol 3 years after release.
-
@łukasz-szmigiel just one possible catch, at some point older hardware will have difficulties catching up with new features, e.g. the S9B does not have SPO2 hardware.
It does not mean the baro is eol though.
-
@isazi I thought so too btw. Probably most of updates will be bug fixes and s+ stuff, which is shared by s9p
