Great Job guys Suunto Team,

I understand that “Snap-to-route” is only by Suunto 9 Peak because is new Sony Gps Chipset .

Thanks

There is no new GPS chipset. There is only a new antenna design with obviously better SNR.
The snap to route feature is done in the watch software and it is perfectly easy to make this available to existing S9 watches as well.
I am just wondering, if snap to route also snaps to altitude of route (which could be beneficial if the map data has good altitude and the S9 without barometric sensor is used)

@egika I wondered that too, would be way easier to do hill repeats with my s9

What a stunner!
Glad Suunto comming with such a watch.
The specs look good, now the hard questions:
Regardin sensors (Cadence) do we still have to use cadence+speed combo sensor?
Power meters for cycling, do they work ok?
More than one sensor of same type supported?
Regarding locking buttons, still not present right? Are the buttons easily to accidentaly click (on F6S I never needed lock)

Looking forward for info.

@egika Yeah, I’m asking this myself too.

I’m also guessing that the S9 and S9P will receive some of the new GPS goodies because its is the same chip.
I also think that we could receive the OTA upgrades, watchfaces and probably more things.
From what I can see in Suunto’s web seems that the S9P will co-live with the S9 and S9B some time, so I hope they will have aligned software during this time.

@egika we dont have anymore any watch without a barometer up to…

However I think the chip is changed. (GNSS)

DMytro

@cosmecosta not OTAs, it listed on the website to be exclusive for s9P, which is likely due to bluetooth 5

isazi

@дима-мельниченко yeah, unfortunately I think the S9 non peak was not designed for this.

But now the 2 questions for people running with Stryd: Are all metrics in the FIT file now and do we have structured intervals? Best case sync the trainings from Stryd to Suunto App or watch directly…

Snap to route is nice, Garmin has this feature based on the underlying maps. Works great if you have that use case.

DMytro

@isazi fine with me, it doesn’t matter where the watch cannot be used during an update. On my wrist or near a laptop.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@marcus-0 its not the same feature.

Stryd mertics are not imported. You can view those on the powercenter.

In regards to training sync (TP stryd) there have been some rumors / dicussions here in the forum (romain)

in7ead

Is Stryd supported?
Can I manually set the stryd calibration factor?

freeheeler

I like OTA, oximetry and the position of the baro holes! well done

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@in7ead 1. Yes
2. No

Look very nice The one thing that I miss is a Amoled screen. I hope there maybe be a new Suunto 7 in a similar design

suzzlo

Thanks for the info.

Unfortunately I need to work, and have no time now to read everything… but it seems to be amazing, and seems like a huge progress in Software and Design

CONGRATULLATIONS SUUNTO!!!

@in7ead I asume like the s9. If you expect a full integration with all the metrics Stryd broadcasts I think at this point you won’t have LSS, GCT, Poweratio… in real time. You will have it in powecenter later but not in the watch.

This is a big thank you to all testers that made this happen.

Special thanks to @Saketo-Nemo @isazi @Joaquin @Hecke and @Brad_Olwin (our own guys here )

I would have loved being one of them

@mff73
for the next one: me, too

Congrats on really nice look. The only thing that I don’t like is the huge bezels. I think watch would look much nicer with smaller bezels, or they could have used this space to utilize the solar charging.

As of the new features… Few nice additions but personally I don’t think it’s something that would make people buy it instead of S9B if they own one atm. I do hope that some of the new features come to s9 with the firmware update thou.

I consider this watch a nice refreshment in suunto 9 line. Evolution, but not revolution. And I hope that means that All suunto 9 models will get updates for years to come, as it’s still essentially the same watch more or less.
