Suunto 9 Peak Pro?

[deserthike20]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel Yes, i have been experiencing sometimes up to 10 seconds delay at the start of exercise. For me it’s mostly when I don’t wait a few seconds to start the exercise. Mostly non GPS exercises like Pilates/Yoga where I don’t wait for a solid GPS fix.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@deserthike20 whoa, 10 seconds is a lot!

@Brad_Olwin, I don’t recall having this problem with S5.

I noticed the gps is getting worse. Like S9B s9p did

@Brad_Olwin FYI my ‘gps’ isn’t slow, and still tracks very accurately. I did an approx. 30km gravel ride the other day and compared my Suunto and my Hammerhead Karoo 2 (both on autopause), and both were almost identical for speed and distance and GPS track afterwards. I did though just now power down my Suunto and power it back on again - sometimes this can clear out old files? I’m not 100% sure that it is still useful with newer gen devices, but I know Garmin advised to do that occasionally.

@deserthike20 I also get about 7-8sec delay at start of te exercise sometimes. It did not happen when watch was new, it happened gradually over time. Now when I start Weight training watch plays beeping sound but it just sounds like one looong tone fore 6-7 sec and than the exercise starts

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Dušan-Ković cool! In a couple of months it’ll grow to a minute or two

[deserthike20]

@Dušan-Ković That sounds exactly the same as mine. I also occasionally get that long tone. Hopefully the next update addresses this.

@Dušan-Ković said in Suunto 9 Peak Pro?:

watch plays beeping sound but it just sounds like one looong tone for 6-7 sec and than the exercise starts

This is exactly what mine does when I start an indoor cycling training session.

@mikekoski490 just indoor cycling? Anything special?

[Set_218]

@Dušan-Ković same story by my side since 3-4 weeks. Running, Cycling, indoor or outdoor with or without GPS…. Just a looooong beeptone and a delayed start over 7-8 seconds

[mikekoski490]

@isazi Just indoor cycling so far. Only diff to other outdoor workouts (cycling/snowshoeing /running) is speed/cadence pod and GPS disabled.

@deserthike20 Same here, long tone instead of suunto dongle. I noticed this happen just when using custom sport mode

[Dušan Ković]

Just another thing that I really started to hate is new charger. I did not liked it from the beginning, but design is really bad. Contacts need to be aligned perfectly, and magnet holding connection is super weak. Just a slight vibration or similar will stop the watch from charging. Somebody mentioned that magnets need to be weak because of the watch hardware, but why Suunto did not left circular connectors like on S9P? Charger from S9P is much better compared to the new one

[deserthike20]

@fluca That’s interesting. In my case it happens with the standard sport mode. Both circuit training and Pilates/Yoga do it.

Also had a one time watch freeze up starting the exercise which needed the upper button hold to reboot.

[mikekoski490]

@fluca Another same to Indoor Cycling - Indoor Rowing. Loooong sound bleep for about 6 seconds before starting workout.

@Łukasz-Szmigiel After a few months of using the watch, it doesn’t look so good. A bit like the old windows machine
The sound at the start of the exercise is a drag every time. That’s not the worst of it, however, I’m more annoyed by the long time of saving the workout. The hourglass spins for me for about 30 seconds. The longer the workout, the longer the save takes.

It also returns to the first screen after manually pausing the workout. Annoying especially when you have navigation screen on.

I hope the upcoming update will correct this.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@aroo7 it seems slow, I have to agree, and I too hope that the firmware will be polished, as it seems rushed.

[Janne Leppamaki]

I don’t have any sound in the beginning on the excercise, bur long delay is there. Delay is about 6-8 seconds. I don’t remember this kind of delay from last autumn, so some FW update included this bug. Maybe 2.22.56 worked still fine, but hard to remember.

Received the all black today. Very small, very light. I think it’s a keeper. So far, I like it. I find the watch faces useless and boring. I’m taking it for a hike this afternoon.

I also have long beep while starting any indoor activity (red symbol sports). I was playing around with exercise menu settings before starting them and notice that turning Media control off caused normal Suunto jingle more often. Can someone else also try it?

Is there some correlation between long beep and resource drop? Walking and running starts much faster anyway.
