Suunto 9 Peak (review and specs)

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

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.

@prenj some new things coming to our beloved S9 in June. Some of them not even talked about yet.

@isazi
…like… ??

Rob33

@prenj yes, the screen measures 30 mm. it is very small! (fenix 6S equivalent). I find the reduction very important (34mm on S9B)

@isazi Looking forward to these, and receiving my (used) S9B!

DMytro

@freeheeler let’s hope for training plans support, that would be great!

So same GPS chip but a new and optimised antenna, right?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@vr2udt *somewhat the same chip. Not the same model if I am correct but also not the dual freq one that costs a lot of battery

vr2udt

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos thanks mate, given the smaller battery but the same if not better endurance capabilities, some juices need to be squeezed somewhere

I like what I’m hearing and I will do deep analysis of your moves for more clues

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Damn, son! You had me at OHR2.
And great job Suunto – that’s a sweet-talking design language whispering in my ear (and wallet).

Frederick Rochette

New! During the night:Sp02 and deep sleep analysis ?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@frederick-rochette yes but not when you get the watch in June unfortunately. Later… That is why it was not announced

andrejsg

Really excited about this one - can’t wait to my hands on it! Great job

hopefully we’ll get the that nice vertical line watch face from the S9P on the S9B

This isn’t a watch for me. The three main factors that make it a no-go are:

The limited battery life. I need it to last at least 35 hours, preferably 40 hours, reliably without having to use extended battery modes.
The screen size. My eyesight is declining and I have hard time seeing small text even on a larger 1.4" display. 1.2" display of S9P is just too small. By the way, has Suunto addressed the limit of having only 3 user customizable data screens? I want to have fewer data fields per screen.
Lack of customizability of the app and the watch, which I assume remain mostly unchanged. For example, I really have to have Monday as first day of training week, but I am unwilling to change my phone’s locale for a number of reasons. I also really prefer to have mixed units. These are all small things that should be trivial to make more customizable (Ambit / Movescount had that), so I really don’t understand why it is so hard to do the same in the new platform?
