Suunto's newest watch is the 5 Peak

[DMytro]

@mountainchris it’s summed up only in the app. If you want to test, record an activity with SA itself and you’ll see, how exactly the metrics will add up in the app, but not in the watch.

@dmytro Can’t find in SA no sum recovery status right now, right? Never saw this in App, only watch. SA shows only recovery time of each activity…

Maybe in future Then maybe I’m getting a S5P

Of course additionally there is training peaks as second metric where I would expect everything is summed up…

[DMytro]

@mountainchris ah, that’s true! I forgot because I never pay attention to recovery time, more to Form and my own feelings.

Thinking of getting one. Does anyone know for sure, if SA does supports a second watch in following way: Is recovery and body battery synced back on watch? Or do these show different things on each watch? That means does body battery show the values which are generated with the other watch and is recovery summed up (S9P mountain running, S5P flat running)?

The data will not sync from one watch to the app and back to the second watch. However, if you switch watches, Recovery will be recorded in the app so there are no gaps, same for HR, etc. I have found recovery between watches to be fairly consistent. Back before the S9P, S7 came out I would wear an S3 for sleep as the baro was just too big. Now the Peak is perfect.
Since recovery time is not recorded to the app I doubt this will sync between watches. Just making sure you know, but I find switching watches not that big a deal.

Well since the begining that the S5P caught my eye.
I said to myself that when I could get one at about 170-180eur I would buy it, today was the day

Curious to see how it goes, specially compared to the S9P, and how suunto evolved.
Let’s see.

I was a bit afraid that on live the watch didn’t had quite the same colors.
But all fine, it is a stunner!
Will be testing it and give my feedback.

@andré-faria It is a highly capable watch. Where I live, with large hills the GPS altitude did a great job. With smaller rolling hills it is less accurate. Battery life is fantastic and it is so light, you do not know it is there!

[gerasimos]

@andré-faria same with S9… NO lock button in time mode man
But everything else… perfect

Maybe, I don’t have a way to test on large hills now.
Yes it is light but I am under the impression of being less confortable than the 9 peak ti.
A bit disappointed that I am still not getting accurate sleep measurements (go to bed time ) and still have the bug of 0% resources on middle of the day,same as I had in the 9 peak.
But maybe it is my specific case .and was not priority of Suunto to solve these issues (after I sold my S9Peak ti they launched some firmwares with good improvements , specially new algorithm for ascent/descent ) which is top.
The app is also improved and is pleasant to use.
And on running , the instant pace seems to be more accurate than my 945 LTE (the average values are somehow similar ).
If any suunto devs are interested in tracks with both devices let me know

@andré-faria experimenting with the resting HR solved it for me. If it’s too low your resources will drop fast and you would end up wit 0% in the afternoon, even when not doing exhausting activities. If it’s too high resources may be good but it will fail to recognise your fall asleep time correctly and you should lower it by one or two. There should be a sweet spot where you will find a good balance between ok resource tracking and correct sleep timing (mostly - sometimes sleep tracking fails anyway)

@chrisa my short tip, find your average sleep HR and then add 10 has your personal resting HR.

I have been comparing S9P and Garmin 745 during 2 weeks checking Resources vs Body battery, and this configuration has result has the best to match both watches with my personal feeling

@suzzlo how are you adjusting that on the FR745 cause as far as I am aware that is all automated and you can’t change it. you can only change your HR zones.

[suzzlo]

@jamie-bg I’m not adjusting on Garmin eco, since I think it works automatically and it seems to be ok. The adjustment is on S9P

Good input, maybe it can give suunto devs some hint.
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

[Jamie BG]

@suzzlo ok - that makes more sense using the FR745 as standard to get the S9 tweaked. Ok.

[ChrisA]

@suzzlo yes that’s pretty much my value too 8-10 beats above average sleeping HR.

[suzzlo]

@chrisa @Jamie-BG if it was calculated and updated automatically by the watch it will be perfect

One question that I cannot find clearly on my S5P. Is there an option to turn off the watch?
Normally I only wear the watch during my runs or other activities… I would like to just shut it off between the activities to keep battery level etc.

Is that an option for the S5P?

[Brad_Olwin]

@arnie82 No, but you do not need to turn it off. If you set it down on a table/desk, the battery will last a very long time.

[Arnie82]

@brad_olwin Understood… That’s the hibernation mode as explained in the manual I assume. Thanks for your prompt reply!
