New to S9Peak from S9B
-
@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?
-
@łukasz-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. I’d have to cycle all the way forward if on 9?
S9PP 2.40.44
-
@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?
S9PP 2.40.44

@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 -
@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- Lap Ascent
- Lap Pace
- Vertical Speed
Screen 2 - Ascent
- Vertical Speed
- Pace
- Distance
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.

@brad_olwin
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
