Suunto's newest watch is the 5 Peak
-
I really like it! I don’t do mountain sports l and really like a lightweight Suunto for training and all day use. The old S5 is my all day companion but is a bit “heavy” and the new S5 really looks better in the office!

Congratulations to suunto team, another piece of art, just like the 9 peak was/is!

@ierisch A lot to like about the monochrome screen

For those of you discussing the lack of the barometer, the 5Peak does a much better job than the 5 for ascent/descent. On larger hills I found it works fairly well, on small hills it is not as good. This is the first watch without a barometer that I would be ok with in the mountains. I think Suunto did a great job working on extracting the vertical data from GPS positioning.

@brad_olwin is this algorithm coming to S9 via firmware update?

I was excited when i found out about S5Peak. But now when i read specification, i am disapointed. With name peak i expected S5 hardware + at least barometer. But it looks like only benefit compared to S5 is OTA updates and lower weight. But battery in in-time mode is 2 days less. Glass material is plastic. And price is higher than S5. Water resistance dropped from 50 to 30m rating. So in the end it is just worst watch for higher price. Really good work Suunto!

I agree, I am a Suunto fan, but I think “peak” is raising expectations.
For me it is somehow like a branding, like cars have with AMG, M-Tech or Cupra. -
@dulko79 To be fair, most (or maybe all) of the photos in his review are the lifestyle images supplied by Suunto, so they probably look more professional than a typical reviewer taking shots with his camera phone.

@traileyes Sorry, not right, @Saketo-Nemo took his photos and used some of Suunto’s. To be fair. And he has the best photos.

@bulkan Apologies for my mistake. I hadn’t sorted through them well enough to realize he had so many of his own shots. Sorry.

@traileyes I remember he had beautiful photos also in S9P review. It did not come on my mind he could have taken them from Suunto, but also I don’t remember seeing the photos elsewhere.

@tomas5 but wouldn’t that what you asking for actually be the S9 Peak (barometer, Saphire glass, etc.) I find it’s a good decision to offer a S9P like version of the S5, even if there are no real new hardware options. I don’t know if you ever wore such a light sportswatch, but I really like this, since I made the experience that especially wrist based HR readings are usually better with lighter watches (not to speak about wearing them while martial arts training, where heavier watches like the S9B are not suitable). And I really like the “normal” easily swappable band of the new S5 Peak against the bulky band of the old S5

@andré-faria it’s even not that bad as I thought XD
