    @traileyes i think i have to agree with you. I have posted as well in gps-stuff thread, that after latest firmware update, 9P gps accuracy totally went downhill , unfortunately. Something must have changed. It used to be super accurate.

        I put my hands on the S9P yesterday.
        The buttons really feel nice to operate. But I can absolutely forget about pressing them even with my lighter gloves 😞
        …and it definitely is too small for my wrist 😞
        so please, Suunto… surprise us 😍 ✊

          For me, lighter gloves are fine, heavier ones are not.

            I did the same. The screen on the Peak is IMO too small for folks who like to see lots of fields when running, etc. Looking forward to an XL version of the Peak. What I’d really love to see is a watch that can do res/brightness like the 7 as a daily driver and then as soon as you switch to exercise mode, you get the current resolution of the 9 peak. That would be really awesome for readability vs battery life.

              @surfboomerang 30% to win !!!
              The problem is more … is a such big screen with such a size and same battery consumption available on the market … may be not yet but to come soone …
              so without changing hte external size it will change the display and so the readibility also …

                    More seriously … the succeed to have this solved in the S9PEAK … so a bigger screen in a bigger watch is the same, isnt’it ?

                    I imagine with no constratnts … I will haev done something like this …but it’s just a drawing …
                    so out of any constraints … easy to do …

                      @mister-pyc GPS antennas are not just a piece of wire. To receive any signal at all from a satellite sized like a medium fridge that covers the whole earth with it’s transmission, is an art in itself. Bit rate is super low, but still a lot of cross correlation calculation is necessary to extract any data out of the noise.

                      So you can be sure that Suunto is not waisting any screen space if it would not be necessary.

                        @egika we are on the same page … my point is super simple : if they succeed to place the screen into teh S8 PEAK that take all the watch, I’m sure they will succeed to place a bigger screen when it will exist into a S9 baro … may be will it be a S10 baro …
                        So antena should not be an issue

                          @mister-pyc what makes you think, the screen in S9P takes the whole screen? Your assumption is wrong in the first place. S9P has similar antenna space as the other models.

                            @egika Hey Hey !!! YOU ARE RIGHT !!!

                            I wrongly though that the 9 Peak was keeping the same screen as the 9 Baro but inside a smaller watch
                            Most of the time when I was looking to a S9Peak watch the dark background was the same as the external part so I got confused …
                            After your comment I went to search for some comparison pics and found this one where we see effectivelly a slight different color on the S9Peak external circle …
                            so I was totally wrong !!!

                            Well … let’s still dream that there will be in that case some solution for Antena in future whch could allow a bigger screen … I dream of it … 🙂

                              I don’t care about the size of the screen… it is just the watch that has to be BIIIG 😂

                                @freeheeler I actually prefer the smaller watch. It is by far easier to take off backpacks/ jackets etc with a smaller watch + I can wear it to work without feeling weird 😂

                                    I see the benefits for having a smaller watch, too…
                                    …but: I want it BIIIG 😂
                                    …similar with the skies… I feel I should go even wider than my 105… would it be good for pow?! absolutely! would it be good for the slopes? no way… that’s why I stay on that size 🙂
                                    everything within reason 👍

                                      @bulkan Ah AH HA !!! for your info, with my wife we both went to eyes surgery 15 years ago to remove any glasses … and … we were super happy to not wear them anymore any glasses whilst skiing … the sole problem … now we have 12/10 on both eyes … but to see far … not to see from near …

                                      Ok I know the next joke …

                                      More seriously … the watch is perfect to read in perfect conditions … but in mountain or in refuge the conditions are never these ones … also when you are still asleep your vision is far from beign good 🙂

                                        @freeheeler humm humm … I have some ZAG H105 and ZAG H95 … I can ski in powder the same manner … my daugther who was in competition for many many years is abel to ski perfectly in powder even with her slalom skis (which for me is creasy) … all is a question of technic 🙂
                                        best compromise in the alps is 95 mm 🙂 bigger … you cannot ski super short turns on the slope, smaller it’s technical in the powder … 95 … perfect everywhere …

                                        PS : I dream of a bigger watch … not for adding more complexity of more information, just to see it much easier …

                                          Hi

                                          @egika, I have the solution for the antenna : the ambit 3, Spartan Trainer and S5 design : Screenshot_20220110-155011_Chrome.jpg
                                          Unfortunately there’s still the black space between the screen and the bezel…
                                          By the way, remember the outdoor model for the Spartan Trainer with the «minutes scale» to fill the black, perhaps not so useful but I love the idea :
