Suunto 9 Peak Pro?

@suuntastic it’s a fantastic watch overall.
It’s just mind boggling how can such thing be a non-issue while field and quality testing. The watch is assembled well, materials are premium, it looks and feels premium, and it buzzes like a 5 bucks child’s toy.
It was noted in field testing. The testers do not have decision making power, they simply report issues. Suunto decides whether or not the issue is fixable/ worth pursuing/etc.
-
@Brad_Olwin regardless. It went to production, I’m not blaming testers personally.
-
@Łukasz-Szmigiel and has been rendered unimportant to be addressed since.
-
@altcmd but at last we have brand-new brightness controls, every other firmware release.
-
@Łukasz-Szmigiel As much as I love Suunto and would not wear any other watch, unfortunately I would say this is obviously a design flaw. Not adequate to superior build quality of watch. Why be comfy with a lot of sendings back (if I read comments here and Amazon) and also with the situation sitting close to a couple of people and they are laughing about the watch because of noisy buzz…? In my mind this is not Suunto adequate and Suunto should fulfill also this premium requirement. Why shouldn’t Suunto not? Suunto is high level good with most other things…

Today saw the Vertical. Wow what a watch! Great job! Will skip S9PP definitely and go from S9P straight to Vertical
it seemed vibrations are good -
@suuntastic Yes, I agree vibrations are great on the Vertical.
-
It seems that the watch is using performance battery mode when the navigation screen is displayed, regardless of setting the battery mode to endurance.
I remember that we’ve talked about it here. Did anything change with latest firmware or is it intentional in the same way as eta/ete used to work?

@Łukasz-Szmigiel
I had a similar experience running a 51hr race in April (so on previous firmware).
Checked my watch battery after about 35hrs and it was down to about 25%. I had OHR & sensors turned off, so this battery burn rate is consistent with what I’d expect in performance mode. But the watch was in endurance mode and recorded data consistent with that.
I had fields for distance/time to waypoints on one screen and route navigation active (watch was mainly on the breadcrumb screen).
I’ve not used endurance mode with the latest firmware, so I don’t know if it’s changed. -
@MKPotts it seems that the watch is indeed switching to performance when in navigation view. I wonder why, if the user decided explicitly that the battery life is a priority
-
@Łukasz-Szmigiel I guess because for navigation a 1 sec GPS fix is necessary. Endurance mode on the S9 series is 10 sec if I’m not mistaken.
For the SV this is different. Performace is 1 sec fix with dual band. Endurance is 1 sec fix with single band. -
@surfboomerang I know. It’s just that 9PP has 1s fix in performance and endurance. And if the same behaviour is present in SV the difference can be even bigger if it’s switching to the best battery mode on navigation screen.
Imagine that you’re going on a long trip when you want to use navigation and you set your watch to most energy efficient battery mode that provides 1s fix only to notice day later that the battery has run dry.

@Mff73 I have seen that it is possible to change the order of the widgets on SA but if I visit the widget menu on the watch the order is not congruent with that of SA.
Not a problem of course, just saying -

400€ for a 9PP Titanium.
-
@Highlands I paid 320€ for my 9pp titanium
-
@Felix-0 I remember in June/July prices were even better. These days I haven’t seen a better price for the 9PP.

For those that don’t mind being refurbished they are usually available at 359eur

@André-Faria I like to sell mine for 250euro, used for 6 months, it is just too small for my eyes

@Ultrawalker it’s a known bug that should be solved in next update
