Software update 2.18.18 Sept 28 2021
-
Hello,
I’ve got a problem updating my Suunto 9 Peak.
Application (installed on Android device, V4.45.3) tells the software package has been downloaded.
When trying to update it through the watch itself, it tells there is no update available
I’ve just tried resetting the watch and reinstalling application, there is no change.
Any idea ?Thank you.

Sounds amazing!
does anybody, if the new vertical-meter-algo is included in this update?
-
@theguyfromthesummit for s9p only
-
@theguyfromthesummit what kind of function is that?

@dmytro Thanks! Wasn’t there a discussion about an improvement for the S9B as well?
As far as I can remember, the S9P is already better in terms of "small up and down"s adding to the ascent -
@stefan-kersting Is a new algo to count more precisely the ascent, for large uphills shouldn’t make a difference compared with the existing algo but for small hills and hill repeats should be more accurate , the existing one tend to underestimate the total ascent.
-
@theguyfromthesummit it was mentioned as well, that s9p will be sorta used to test run the algorithm + position of baro holes on s9b makes it much more difficult to implement, so it might come eventually, but it has not been decoded yet.
-
Good work! Really smooth update process. It will be interesting to check all new things.
-
So it’s not a major update. The good news is for the fix update.
A new watch face
Improved sync speed with Suunto app
Improved Altitude readings
New Ascent/Descent algorithm
Music control is useless because we can control music on all headsets and it’s much more convenient when we run. The only interesting thing would be to have the possibility to synchronize music via spotify and play it off line. I would like to have your opinion on this point especially since I tried by launching an activity and it does not work (freez…)
wait for the next one… -
@dmytro thanks! too bad, then I have overlooked that small but important detail
let’s hope -
@frederick-rochette For me it’s major because of the modified algo regarding acsent/decsent. Really don’t need any more functions like music control.
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Awesome update! Do you know if fixes include:
-
Zombie notifications?
-
Fix to ETA in Ghost Runner, where it was calculating ETA based on the current pace and a total target distance, not the distance remaining?
A separate question: do you know how fat/carbs are counted? I’d imagine it should be off my heart rate, but then the watch would need to have my aerobic threshold somewhere? Perhaps, anchored as one of the zones?

It should improve this, at least for most use cases.
- Fix to ETA in Ghost Runner, where it was calculating ETA based on the current pace and a total target distance, not the distance remaining?
Yes.
-
@nickk I would bet it uses zones for the estimate.

Yes.
This would be super-useful! Will definitely give it a whirl!
-
@dmytro The devil’s in the details then. Polar recommends anchoring aerobic threshold as top of the Zone 3, in addition to supplying it in the Polar Flow settings. Hence, they can do things like FuelWise to calculate fat vs carb burn and give you personalized eating reminders.
Suunto will have to have some specific instructions as to how the heart rate zones should be set up in order for it to be more than a guesstimate. I don’t think simply a % of max HR or even HR reserve would cut it. Yes, you can drive it off that, but it would be a very generic solution.
-
@nickk btw I hope suunto will release a short article on nutrition when using s+ burner.
-
@nickk I personally dont really think this is so much related to z3. Especially now that BG meters come out.
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I’m not saying it is related to Z3, I’m saying the watch has to have a way to get your aerobic threshold somehow. As per BG meters… I’m not sold to say the least. I think there was even a pretty good article looking into this latest fad.
-
@nickk maybe this one?
