Upgrade from "9 Baro Titanium" to "9 Peak"
-
@surfboomerang oh true yes, I just sold my S9B I had minor paint scratches on the bezel but the scratches stopped at the sapphire glass
-
@matthias220841 i looked at the video carefully which confirms good results in run activity but Not in bike (indoor and outdoor)
for my bike rides I have no such good results I think there is some tuning and filters to apply into the firmware but the lifeQ sensor has proven his ability to report accurate HR measures.
-
@chrisc92 for bike I have better results not wearing it like for running, i.e. lower on the wrist and not as tight.
-
Hi @chrisc92, thank you for the info! Very valuable (I am mostly running).
Cheers

@chrisc92 I got 9 Peak Ti last Friday.
Today I accidentally scrubbed the nightstand (made of plastic) and the titanium ring got scratched a lot (see photo). I’m very disappointed
I can’t imagine what will happen when I’ll bring it with me doing climbing
-
@becco981 don’t do that!! It’s a lesson every tech inclined climber learns the quickest - watch and climbing don’t do well together. Just attach it to your harness, ideally in some cloth pouch to protect from dust and chalk, and use an HR belt.
-
@дима-мельниченко yes, of course I avoid climbing wearing the watch but it happened with the S9 Baro Ti that it crashed on the rocks without any damage, both on the titanium ring and on the sapphire glass.
The 9 Peak has been scratched by a light scrub on a plastic surface! -
@becco981 I looked up hardness of Titanium and it’s supposed to be a relatively soft metall. But it’s often improved by applying a coating. Was your previous watch a coated version or not?
Btw steel is more scratch resistant that titanium, but you’ll have to pay with extra weight for that. -
@дима-мельниченко the old 9 Baro Ti was black, I don’t know if it was a covering. Thanks for information about titanium, it makes sense. I’m just negatively surprised that at the first “incident” a 700€ watch got damaged.
-
You can even damage a Rolex that’s much more expensive
-
@becco981 black is not “natural” color of titanium, so our investigation has reached its end.
Now “built as tough as you” moto for the s9 series sounds funny XD -
This post is deleted! -
@becco981 we had issues with some units having already scratches. Are you sure you scratched it so easily ?
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos yes. Absolutely. Just rubbed on a plastic surface moving my arm while I was getting out of my bed. Nothing more.
-
@becco981 I’d give it a try with support. This does not look normal to me, but others can say also.

HOHOHO, I hope you can get us an official answer, (because I’m buying a S9P now)
Winners Wear Winners

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I already asked to official support but no answer yet.
Let’s see what happens next days. -
@zhang965 you can see from here that a few units (but not uncountable) had such issues. Directly from the factory. Now to scratch this on something soft does not sound normal to me. That’s why I suspected it might have been already like this.
Let’s see

Oh, that’s a lovely explication, can I have a discount code to buy a S9P
? -
Here the answer from the Suunto customer care (via Twitter):
First of all, we feel very sorry to hear that your new Suunto 9 Peak is scratched. While titanium does scratch, of course, but unlikely possible to be made by plastic - we use Grade 5 titanium that is rather hard and to be scratched it needs an equally hard material. Not plastic. It needs to be hard stones, some types of tempered glass, gemstones, some types of steel, maybe some sandy debris (that is made of particles of hard stones - this is something that can happen in the house).
