Suunto 9 Peak Pro?

Brad_Olwin

@skifun I use the silicone straps for skiing and use the extended for outside my jacket. With the 9P and the 9PP I do not have to lock the buttons as they rarely get accidentally pushed. I typically wear the watch on my sleeve above where my gloves end so the watch is on my forearm. If the watch was closer to my wrist then I might get inadvertent button presses.
I do not like wearing velcro while skiing, it is too easy to lost the watch.

Yesterday, when I pushed the middle button to start a strength activity I got a long beep. Never happened before. Is this expected behavior?

@skifun yes, it happens now and again. I think it’s because of piezoelectric buzzer.

Does anyone know whether this band will fit to 9pp, so that I don’t lose my watch? Wish there was strap like this one from Suunto.

@skifun
my wifes pro did that, too, couple of weeks ago… nothing bad happened since.
also happened to my S9B couple of times. also wrong sound pattern. never happened again.
I wouldn’t worry too much

@freeheeler @DMytro Thanks for your replies. I guess I didn’t worry as much as I’m annoyed by the lag when pushing the buttons to start an activity. So, impatiently waiting for the next update.

@skifun welcome to the club, waiting for updates is my hobby.

Now that March is over, where in the iOS app I can see how much CO2 I saved during my walking commutes in March?

I wish Suunto would publish the change log of the upcoming update as Garmin does. I like that you know what to expect:

@skifun Suunto does not provide public beta builds. The change log is published when the update is released.

@Brad_Olwin That’s why I wrote wish they did.

There are a large number of reasons why they do not. I can give you more information if you want. PM me.

@Brad_Olwin Thank you but I’m not that interested.

I’m just not interested in the reasons they don’t publish upcoming change logs. It is what it is. But if they publish the change log itself, I’ll gladly read it.

Part of the reason is testing involves features that may or may not make a release depending on the amount of testing that is done. Sometimes a feature breaks the firmware in unexpected ways or simply does not work well enough. Or there are other unforeseen problems. So publishing features being tested will only disappoint as some features may be cut from a firmware release. Suunto does a lot of field testing to ensure new hardware and new firmware is as bug free as possible.

@Brad_Olwin Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense to me.
On a side note: let’s hope the maps won’t break the firmware of Suunto Vertical
