Suunto 9 Peak
-
I am so excited. There must be a new firmware update just around the corner? At least I very much hope so. Next week maybe, just before World Vertical Week?
-
@patrick-löffler oh, the new ascent algorithm before vertical week you say?

@isazi Now that you mention it
would make an awful lot of sense. What else could be in it? Resources fix, open water swim improvements…? -
@patrick-löffler for the peak I would say ows, elevation, hr fixes/enchancements.
I also think we might be getting an improved map screen and maybe an s+ feature. -
@dmytro Oh yeah! That would be amazing! Can’t wait to get my hands on that update! What do you think on timing? Is next week a good guess?
-
@patrick-löffler I think @isazi hinted at it already:) Seems plausible to me and best timing ever - I’m going on a mountaineering trip if all goes well.
-
I know nothing about dates, the only thing I can talk about is the ascent algorithm because it has already been talked about in this forum

@isazi Thanks anyway. I thought I tried super subtle and smooth as 007 to get some information. Didn’t work! Damn.

So if we start talking about dates on this forum, you can too?

Hi, I recently received information from the service department that my watch has been replaced.
I have a question, what does the term “SUUNTO 9 PEAK CHINA SERVICE MODULE ALL BLACK” mean on the service card? The original watch had the designation:“SUUNTO 9 G2 ALL BLACK” and its being replaced with this “Chinese” one…
It scares me to see this inscription in the designation, because when paying the premium price for the watch the added value for me was that the watch is made in finland. Do I have anything to worry about? I don’t want to pay the same price for a Chinese , non European product.

@mff73 yes but mind the activity capacity.
Some people abuse this function to record like 200h of data. The watch can hold up to ~50h of 1s data (belt pods etc).
I currently have about 78 hours of training data with 1s gps data and until now no unit has been overwritten in the logbook.
It seems that the memory is enough for more than 50h 1s of gps data.Now the first units in my logbook are overwritten after about 165h of recorded data in performance mode.

@mlatej
I think it’s better if you ask suunto support … -

I don’t want to pay the same price for a Chinese , non European product.I am not sure, but I believe electronics are still made in China, so if they replace only the module it seems normal to me. But better ask the support.
-
@mlatej I don’t know any details about service/repair procedure, but can reassure you that all Suunto 9 Peak are made in Finland, Global and China version have only software differences.
-
Ok, so today I received the watch.
And here an interesting fact, I have the feeling that moving around the menu works much smoother than in the previous version. This immediately caught my eye.
It is written on it Designed and made in Finland uff

@mlatej Faster operation of the watch! That‘s definitely awesome as this has been criticized already! How could that be possible? With my S9P there is always a lag when I press the lower button to display the heart rate. I always get a blank screen for a little more than a second until the heart rate screen is displayed.
Apple Watch Ultra (currently on my wrist)
Thinking about going back to Suunto 9 Peak -
@patrick-löffler same here!

That has not changed, it works the same as always, there is a small lag of 1, maybe 2 seconds.
I’m talking more about the overall smoothness of the animation when scrolling through functions and menus, it was framing before, now it looks much smoother. (But it may be placebo, I don’t have an old watch next to compare :P) -
Regarding snappiness:
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos said in Suunto 9 Peak:
@andré-faria go to settings and try to touch and scroll. The performance should be quite ok.
When the rest of menus are loaded for example when in the watchface and going up it should also be ok.
However when going down to see ie the live hr view it takes some time feels choppy and the same applies as going more down. Suunto is aware of this. Actually if the live hr view was lower it would have been better.
The activity start screen is slow. It might show data after 7s max even if recording before.
That is merely due to the way the streaming of sensors is initialized and aggregated. It’s a heavy job and to be able to initialize all components calibrate altitude yadi ya at one has this effect , trying to keep the gun time right. You might find some watches showing the data asap , while the gun time being wrong. Actually it was like so at some fws and it was changed to be able to keep gun time ok. I don’t think that toggling then among the data screens is so bad.
That said that is the HW that Suunto has. Remember. The hw is in-house almost. At least in terms of coding / FW. Yes we write fw for most of the components. Could it be better ? Sure.
Suunto is focused on a sportwatch experience not a snappiness experience so this is not top priority although known and desired. What do I mean with that ? I bet Suunto can spend an iteration making things snappier but then they would delay features that are down the pipeline.
That said we also have the s7 which is very snappy much better than any competitor out there (kinda) , but still , it’s not a performance sport watch.
Enjoy your watch and it’s quality of materials design and software and let those minor annoyances behind. Remember your ambit that was slow to even show pixels. Still then was many moto360 much snappier cheaper and would die at day one when visiting the 40c Greece for vacation.
Ps a ccuracy of sensors is also consider a price thing or for example the tuning and software of those including antenna design testing , hw iterations strap materials and so on.
Ps2 we are not Garmin , we are way smaller company. We all put our effort to bring what you get and the materials we choose for hw have to be able to be assembled by hand as your watch is basically made / assembled by hand by a guy that gets well paid and works under eu conditions. You can drink a beer with the factory workers. Oh and they also don’t waste any material. Your coros (ask me for proof) or Garmin goes to garbage when it’s out. We have a whole sustainability squad and we work towards a better ecological impact each day. If you know me personally from my channels you might understand I am a sucker for eco.
If all the above don’t make your watch premium I don’t know what to say… Try a simple china based watch with snappy menus such as Amazfit.

Does anyone know if there is any trade in initiative from suunto in order to get the 9 peak on a discount ?
Last year there was an initiative on ambit 1-2-3 for instance getting a 30% discount on 9 Baro but for us that didn’t make it do you know of anything similar for 9 peak ?
Thanks
