@hristijan-petreski , but to me an error below 10% from GPS watch on a wobbly hand not in perfect satellite reception conditions is totally acceptable.

I agree with you, wobbly hand is a difficult problem.
When my suunto 9 is attached on the bike the tracks are really near perfection .
On the other hand suunto has a strong experience in fused track and should take into account the accelerometer and compass to filter GPS temporary loss like when you are under trees . A sort of permanent fused track

@freeheeler so does this mean you have to use Suunto straps? Because the pins are a fatter 22mm pin

[freeheeler]

@tgvic210
for the peak I don’t know. for my S9B I’ve ordered from an “alternative” supplier because orange was not available at Suunto…

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@dulko79 for me it worked okish. I have no refernece.

[lexterm77]

I have all bells and whistles enabled on peak, backlight medium raise on wake and training 9-10h a week with performance gps, battery needs recharging after 5-6 days. I wonder what would happen if I send S9b for battery service. That 3 yr old eats battery in 2 and a half days with same workload.

Fiiiiiiine - dropped by REI on the way home and they hade one so now I have one

This thing feels tiny compared to the 9B but I am excited to try it out. Buttons are good, like a Polar but crispier for sure.

First started it I got a SERVICE! message, which was a little scary but went away after the standard 12s top button hold. Screen looks awesome, watch face is pretty cool.

Few annoyances that have absolutely nothing to do with the hardware of this watch.

1. Can we please save sport mode settings in the cloud? I am really not looking forward to recreating all my custom modes
2. Can we address zombie notifications at some point
3. Can we sync fitness/daily stats back across different devices?

[Brad_Olwin]

@stromdiddily Agreed. Would like 1, 2, and 3!

@dulko79 Tested this quickly the other day. OHR seams really good on swim also

On this really small and covered lake the location of the track did not “peaked”. This is understandable because my swim technique was not good (hand below water level mostly).

Office acceptance test validated : the 9peak fits well under a shirt and is much less thinner than s9 baro

[edit] I didn’t see before this two painting defects on the wrist support. I will have to return.

One question/remark about the VO2MAX estimation providen by the watch. As we all know, that estimation is always very bad once we run on trails or with a lot of elevation.

One solution would be to:

• either not calculate vo2max once watch detect too hilly or too technical paths
• either let user decide if we want or not an estimation during the following activity.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@v-sacre just make it a switch similarly to how OHR switch is implemented. “Calculate vo2max” on/off, per activity.

Just got mine, it is so small, light and thin compared to S9B. I’m thrilled. Still have to try it in the field, but first impression is great

Lol… you have to drink a beer with the suunto factory worker…

[surfboomerang]

@dušan-ković You’ll get used to the size. I’m wearing mine for1,5 week now and I think I already love it more then the S9B.

I agree one week for me but only if you have not your s9B any more

[chrisc92]

@zhang965 yes with the painter for a quick paint touch-Up

[Dušan Ković]

@surfboomerang yup, I like it better than S9B. I forget that I’m wearing it.

I sold S9B the same day.

Faster sync with SA is great. I lost all my custom sport modes, that is real shame. I hoped that I won’t have to setup everything again.

[isazi]

@dušan-ković backup would be nice (it has been requested in the forum). However custom modes between different watches is a bit more complex, as screens are different and may support different custom screens.

[ink357]

@dušan-ković completely agree for the customs sports mode
I had to create them in Movescount (!) to not forget them… and then re-create them in SA… ‍️

[bnorthrop]

@dušan-ković I’ve had my S9P for almost a few days and have a few first impressions, questions, and feature requests. I’m relatively new to the forum so I don’t know if this is the most appropriate place to post these. My apologies if it would make more sense to mention them somewhere else.

First impressions:
• The watch and build quality is wonderful. I love how thin and light it is. Coming from a Spartan Sport (non WRH) I’m still getting used to the smaller screen but I love how sharp the screen is.
• The buttons are better than I expected when I saw first pictures. They’re easy to press and crisp. They’re also click louder than I expected.
• The optical heart rate is (so far) much better than other optical heart rate watches I’ve tried (over the past year I’ve bought, and returned: Polar Vantage V2, Polar Vantage M, Coros Apex Pro, Suunto S9B). It has done very well running and riding the trainer, though not as good strength training.

Questions:
• Is there any way to have the first day of the week set to Monday? I already have the first day of my week set to Monday on my iPhone but can’t seem to have the S9P start on Monday. Any tips?
• Does the resources algorithm adjust over time? The watch apparently thinks I’m active or stressed all the time. My resources are at or close to zero pretty much all day. Does the First Beat algorithm get a better feel for me over time and adjust?

Feature requests:
• I think it would be great to be able to rearrange the order of the screens available when pressing the down button. I.e. the current order is: heart rate, resources, steps, training, altitude, sleep, fitness. I would love to be able to reorder those.
• The weather data page in Suunto Plus is awesome. I would love for that to be available as a screen you can access by pressing the down button (meaning an option within the list in my previous comment).

Overall it’s very nice!
