      @dimitrios-kanellopoulos I¡m sure you will succeed!! 😉 😉

      As @freeheeler I can test an alpha/beta version, I live in an area where I have small hills, and to have some decent ascent I have to run lots of ups and downs.

        me too
        …and maybe @sky-runner is re-joining Suunto

        I have never left Suunto. I still have my old A3P which I use occasionally to compare Garmin F6X against. Surprisingly, I also sometimes use Suunto App to make routes for F6X, which I can do all on my mobile phone (export from SuuntoApp and import into Garmin Connect). But I don’t think I’ll buy S9B again after selling it 1.5 years ago. That would be silly. S9P is too small for me. If Suunto releases a new watch with S9P internals, a larger screen, and a larger battery, I’d be very tempted.

          @dimitrios-kanellopoulos i am a s9b user, i hope you can bring that features to S9b cause is fair for All the users to have the best and new options in ours watches; that is the best way for us to feel that Suunto is protecting our investments and taking our needs seriously.

          Thanks

            @tfm1973 this is not a matter of will, but a matter of “is it possible”. The S9 Baro has a different sensor, and a different positioning of the sensor, so it is not the same as the Peak.

            Already some testing (of different nature) on the altimeter of the baro showed too much ascent/descent being recorded. We hope in this new algorithm to improve things for the Baro too, but it’s not this simple.

              @isazi any improvement is welcome. We await the new algorithm to do the tests.

              Hopefully it can be during this month.

              Thanks!

                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.

                That is fantastic…

                Always carry a flaggon of whiskey for snakebite; and furthermore, always carry a small snake.

                  Fun fact, loading the tracked file from Suunto App tracked with S9B into Garmin Connect, the ascent also changes.

                  Suunto App: 3400m
                  Garmin Connect: 3700m

                  Total ascent of 2021 in total is also completely off:
                  Suunto App 83k
                  Garmin Connect: 100k

                    I posted this in another thread but I think it’s interesting data so will repost here. My training partner has a Garmin Enduro and I use a S9B, pretty much weekly we’ll do a hill run of 20km(ish) with 500m or so of vert. Here’s how things usually line up at the end…

                      Interesting that the pace is off by 0.05, which is what I’m seeing on my sb9 vs ambit 3 peak/ timed event, because the sb9 always overestimates the distance slightly.

                        @jokeen2020 Yeah it always records slightly longer, but I hate all of the elevation I lose out on!
