Suunto 9 Baro total ascent vs. other watches
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Thanks. I knew you would answer that but hoped for e.g. 2nd September.
I am super excited about that one. Looking forward to the better total ascent algo and hopefully a fix for the body resources. -
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos will this new algo bring some update on quick elevation change? personally I see calculation of elevation gain (finding local minimal/maximal elevation) OK for walking/slow running, but for fast cycling on “wavy” roads/trails it cuts out a lot. also vertical speed is kinda delayed and averaged too much for me.
-
@dombo I think so.
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos is the algo update valid for baro-enabled devices only or non-baro as well?
-
@łukasz-szmigiel only baro
-
@dombo yes
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos perfect! I can not wait for new FW, even it will take some weeks for me to recover from injury to test it
-
Suunto World Vertical Week is near…
-
@sky-runner Good list, interesting that the Sony chip is common to all under-reporting. As @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said there are improvements for gain/loss coming.
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Glad to hear that and a strong reason to consider a Suunto watch again.
Now, while we are there, please allow first day of week to be changed from the locale default too.
-
@freeheeler I don’t know, but this is an established race with 23 years of history. The way I’ve done that in the past myself is that I loaded an elevation graph, zoomed to it, and manually added ascent from all climbs. That takes time but produces the most accurate result. That requires an accurate altimeter and a calm weather without a strong wind when recording the run.
-
@sky-runner Agreed, I’d love to manually be able to change mine to a Monday. Not particularly a big deal but would be nice!
-
@dombo it is even worse when downhill skiing.
-
@sky-runner first day of the week as a setting is now being tested on Android alpha. So that will come in eta 1 month in beta.
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Perfect! Any plans to release S9P with a larger screen and larger battery? Although I understand you aren’t supposed to share that kind of information. But that is a watch I’d buy in a heartbeat if it has the two fixes mentioned above.
-
@sky-runner even if I knew I cannot answer that.
I know that Fenix 7 comes January most probably though.
I am sure that in 1y -2 -3y we will see another good model from suunto if I judge from prev releases.
Spartan 2016 , s9 2018 , s9P 2021, then maybe 2023?
If we are talking about something new.
But I think now it’s Garmin’s turn over a flagship.
-
Here is 24x41.5m (last rep was a little higher to reach 1k up) .
No stopping , storm coming in etc.
With the old algo due to 41m it would have been around 940m
The algo will come in for the s9p in the next release.
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Thanks for the sneak peak.
When? -
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I hope also S9B…
-
@dombo
me too
…and maybe @sky-runner is re-joining Suunto
