New to S9Peak from S9B
-
@theguyfromthesummit for me there is looses a bit readability.
-
@theguyfromthesummit Cannot say. I hardly read 5 in both 9B and 9P
-
@theguyfromthesummit depends on the sport type.
For hiking I do use 7 field screens, but running (or other sports which involves arm movement) I donât. -
thanks for the replies!
It looks like, I stick to my S9Baro
-
@theguyfromthesummit similar to @surfboomerang I only use the 7 data fields in mountaineering cause I am not going to fiddle with my watch, and want everything at once. I find the readability good, but my speed is low.
-
@isazi Same, I only really use 7 data fields for when I am climbing or if I am doing an activity where the speed is going to be slow. Most of my main screen have 3 fields or 4 at the maximum, easy to read when youâre flying down the side of a mountain
I just find the thought of dropping from 50mm to 43mm a bit too much of a jump. One of my friends is waiting for their S9P to arrive so Iâll check theirs out once they have it

How can you have enough with only 4 fields
I always use 7, no matter if biking, trailrunning or hiking, I just donât like to switch between screens.

How can you need 7 fields??? Mostly I need ascent and distance, I donât understand how the data are of any use when running/MTB. When road cycling I would use cadence, speed, distance and power, not much else. I have 4 fields and one screen for everything but races where I use 2 screens with 3 fields each on both S9P and S9b.
-
@brad_olwin etas perhaps. I use ETA / ETE for end and POI, sunrise, sunset and itâs 6 fields already. But thatâs for hiking or a second screen for long trail runs in case I get lost or something unforeseen happens.
-
@brad_olwin In my case, in addition to what you use, I also put sunset, temperature, average pace or speed, vertical speed and things like that depending on the sport. In most of the cases (unless sunset, TBH) I must confess that I could live without those data . But, what the heck, I have a S9P, I must have tons of information at any moment!!!
-
@theguyfromthesummit I rather switch screens than having my watch constantly reminding my age when trying to read those tiny numbers
-
@Ćukasz-szmigiel So if you engage SuuntoPlus Weather and have a route loaded, an ETE/ETA field and Sunset is already there. Why I try to keep the data in the watch simple.
-
@brad_olwin valid point. But itâs unavailable in S5 and besides - one might want to limit screen switching and S+ requires to shuffle the screens.
Btw. is it possible to switch screens to the left in S9 series as thereâs no dedicated back button?
-
@Ćukasz-szmigiel only via touch
-
@dmytro well, I would have to change my habits and redesign the screens if I had S9 then. I often jump between navigation and the screen before it. Iâd have to cycle all the way forward if on 9?
-
@Ćukasz-szmigiel sadly so. Itâs fine with me as I rarely look at the data other than hr and duration, map - so only two screens basically.
-
@Ćukasz-szmigiel No, it is easy to customize a battery mode with touch so you can scroll back and forth on screens.
-
@brad_olwin but you have to enable the touch in custom battery mode, right?
-
@brad_olwin Usually I have:
- ascent
- altitude
- distance
- pace
- heartrate
- vertical speed, barometer, ETA, sunrise or sunset.
- duration
Field No 6 is more or less just to fill the field. But sometimes sunrise and sunset for multi day tours
But playing around with the peak might get me switching to 2 displays with 5 fields.
this watch is so light and small, it is amazing -
@Ćukasz-szmigiel Correct.
I use it for a couple of sport modes, but I would rather see that Suunto implement this for buttons too.
The big problem is probably the number of buttons available All the buttons already have dual actions assigned to them for press and press-and-hold.
