S9B chassis with S9 Peak technology inside
-
@litchimonster I think better HR may be partially because of lower weight and smaller size.
-
@litchimonster yes please to this idea
-
@litchimonster This really needs to happen. I’m finding it impossible to part with my 9 Baro. A new model that’s the same size of the 9 Baro with the same features as the 9 Peak would be amazing. I’d buy it the first day it was available.
-
@дима-мельниченко This is probably true, but when exercising I use a chest strap for the best accuracy anyways. I think it would be more accurate than the current S9B, especially for measuring resting and recovery when you’re not moving around too much.
-
@litchimonster yes, it would be great! I can’t wait for that!
I’ve both S9BTi and S9PTi at the moment. The new one is beautiful. Best accuracy, battery life etc., but I feel comfortable with the dear old chunky S9BTi. With the S9BTi I feel free to hike, climb, run and do whatever I want because it gives me the sense of strength and, in fact, I hit it lots of time without any damage.
The new S9PTi should be the same but the glass is so exposed and the titanium is so thin that I feel scared every time I’m going to do something potential dangerous for the watch.
I’m probably just being paranoid, but I still prefer the old one.
What do you think about this?
Is the new one good for outdoor activities as climb or trekking?Thanks
-
Have to agree. I’d like many of the extras that the Peak has but I just prefer the size and clout of my S9B; downsizing from 50mm to 43mm is a big jump to make, and as a runner I do favour a big screen
FWIW I’m not fussed on the Oxygen sensor, seems like it would rarely be required and I’d be surprised if the readings were overly accurate anyway
-
@miniforklift I’ll keep both for now. Maybe I’ll decide to sell one in the future.
-
@becco981 well, I had one S9P steel for three weeks in the Alps recently, hiking, mountaineering, running, mountain biking. No issues.
-
@isazi No watch is bulletproof. I managed to hit my watch on my surfboard, which is basically sanding paper on the top. The steel and glass don’t have any scratch, but the black coating did took a hit.
But hey, it’s an outdoor watch so eventually it will have some scars. Just a sign that you use the watch
-
@miniforklift I’d agree, I’d really be after the better battery life and high contrast screen an updated S9B with S9P internals could offer. The other stuff would be a ‘nice to have’. If they could also make the bezel smaller on the S9B the screen could be really big and easy to read.
-
@surfboomerang sure, my S9B is also very scratched from years of hitting rocks (and walls at home). I expect my black S9P to lose paint at some point.
-
What about a S9P with a more sporty and outdoor look? like S9B Ambassador Edition with new hardware
S9P looks like some Samsung Galaxy or Huawei smartwatch. -
@theguyfromthesummit I think it’s safe to say more looks will come eventually, just like with s9b.
-
Let’s put my 2 cents here …
The S9Baro
with the contrast of the S9Peak
and a screen that take all the size of the area (so 30% bigger)
but still with a huge battery life …
plus if possible some of the suggestions I proposed
… no … ALL
well well well … I will start to save money immediaelly for having the chance to buy it …
Are we not starting to imaging what a S10PeakBaro could be
-
@mister-pyc I think it was mentioned that one can’t avoid big bezels with current screen technology and I doubt suunto will drastically change the hardware in another S9 interaction ( if it will exist at all). But I’ll probably be improved in s11 or whatnot, so in a hugely new type of watch.
Of course, just my opinion, we’ll see what the future brings. -
Guess it may please the ones on this thread

@dmytro yes yes … the 9 serie might see some software upgrade, and let’s wait a 10 or 11 serie with a bigger new brighter hardware screen … Let’s be patient and for the moment appreciate this 9 baro which days after days I love more and more and more
