Suunto 9 Peak Pro?

[herlas]

not even the newest Sony GPS firmware will save you from cloudy sky and semi tall buildings around when locking GPS signal ? I did wait for green arrow to be fixed and it was, however my S9PP took me for a ride around town. All you see in yellow circle is plain wrong.

Even it affected stryd pace and distance at the start, which I wasn’t expecting as those are set to come from Stryd pod rather than GPS.

This GPS issue got me all these pace achievements as per ICU

Best 100m for the season: 0m3s at 0:30/km!
Best 200m for the season: 0m8s at 0:40/km!
Best 400m for the season: 0m23s at 0:58/km!
Best 800m for the season: 1m24s at 1:45/km!

any ideas to overcome this? like checking navigation screen before starting to make sure it’s locked at right place?

thx

@herlas Its a pretty typical GPS pause scenario. Those 2 straight lines are what I usually get if I pause my GPS during a trail run (to change or get some food out of my pack) and then forget to un-pause. When I notice my gps is still off a few KM’s later and press start again, it just draws a straight line from when it was off to when on again. Wonder if STRYD and GPS are interfering with each other, OR you might want to NOT have auto-pause on.

@mikekoski490 Thx, I don’t use auto pause at all, it’s turned off, it was a GPS issue and I suspect cloudy sky and high buildings the main contributors dispite the GPS green arrow locked on my watch, it was so bad that even affected stryd, which is my go to for avoiding GPS pacing issues.

I’ll be reaching stryd support because my pace got bad due to this and I was under the impression it shouldn’t affect stryd.
Not sure if it’s something to do with Stryd + S9PP combo maybe? Never had this issues with S9P though.

Look at the graphs for pace and speed

Now that we have 1s fix in endurance mode, would it be possible to get rid of forced performance mode when ETA/ETE screens are present?

I believe that already done.

@freeheeler I’d also rotate the 9 so that it’s the right way up, just rotating it 45° clockwise. Much better and true to an original watchface. Other than that I think it looks great, nice job!

[freeheeler]

@MiniForklift
but 45° looks odd, not 90°?

Yes, you’re right! I’m drinking my first coffee of the day and clearly it hasn’t kicked in yet

[freeheeler]

@MiniForklift
all good, I thought so have a good day and enjoy the weekend

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Brad_Olwin hm the manual isn’t so sure about that.

@Łukasz-Szmigiel I also heard that you can use navigation fields with endurance and it stays in endurance mode.

My s9p takes long time to catch the gps after the update, I’d hold awhile before purchasing s9pp

[mikekoski490]

@zhang965 I know Ive already posted this but Im having a really positive experience with S9PP and gps acquisition. Again, sitting at my desk on the 2nd floor of my house, about 2 feet from a window, and in a large city, I just got GPS lock for ‘Running’ in 8 seconds. Sorry others are having mixed results. My usual trail run gps tracks are also much better than Coros or Garmin, especially if I return the same route. Yesterday I actually thought Suunto had forgotten to track the return part of my run but it was just the gps tracks had completely overlapped each other it looked like one track.

S9PP only or also for other watches?

[fluca]

@Umer-Javed i never used analog watch face but the one you drafted looks fantastic and I would use. I have currently the S9PP black and I am missing a touch of red. Red arrow is fantastic.

[fluca]

@mikekoski490 Same here. GPS is spot on in the urban environment. Unfortunately I still can’t get a decent OHR reading while training. Just doesn’t work for me.

[isazi]

@surfboomerang S9PP only, it’s the new GPS chipset that allows this.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

Are there any plans to make custom battery modes more configurable? Like setting backlight %, turning off vibrations and bt, etc.?

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

Is it by design that workouts default to performance battery mode? In S5 the watch used to remember last battery mode used.

[freeheeler]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel
if you use custom mode it should remember to select custom mode again. I don’t know the behavior when you use default modes only. I assume it always goes back to performance mode. I just tried ultra and with the next activity it goes back to custom
