      @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 you’re 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 I’ll 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 don’t like to switch between screens.

          How can you need 7 fields??? Mostly I need ascent and distance, I don’t 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 it’s 6 fields already. But that’s 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 😊

                  @łukasz-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 it’s 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 there’s no dedicated back button?

                        @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. I’d have to cycle all the way forward if on 9?

                          @łukasz-szmigiel sadly so. It’s fine with me as I rarely look at the data other than hr and duration, map - so only two screens basically.

                            @łukasz-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:

                                1. ascent
                                2. altitude
                                3. distance
                                4. pace
                                5. heartrate
                                6. vertical speed, barometer, ETA, sunrise or sunset.
                                7. 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

                                  @łukasz-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.

                                    Screen 1

                                    1. Lap Ascent
                                    2. Lap Pace

                                    The altitude profile will show altitude and HR is in the zone ring, I don’t need exact HR, just zones. The second screen will show duration at the top. I have alarms set for Sunrise/sunset. If needed I run SuuntoPlus Weather, which has sunset time and ETE/ETA.

                                      This actually is a completely different but nice approach!

                                      I have to test it. 👍

                                      thanks

                                        I use the lap intervals for aid stations so I know whether my timing is ok and when the cutoffs are. I make a jpeg/png of a spreadsheet for aid stations/timing and use that as the Lock Screen image on my iPhone. That way, I do not have to open my phone but just turn on/pull out of my vest and I can check times against the watch.

                                          @theguyfromthesummit Well for me it’s just too much info all on one screen. When I’m running long distances or an ultra and my brain is not as sharp as usual I don’t want to be looking at a 7 field screen and have to work out what is what

                                          My main screen for hills/ultra races has ascent, distance & duration (in that order from top to bottom). For flast or faster training/racing I have average pace, current pace, distance & duration. Those are all the metrics I need - I do have another couple of screens loaded but I rarely scroll through to them
