Suunto 9 Peak Pro?

[DMytro]

@isazi If you can answer this: will there be some grade of testing/approwing of apps from the side of suunto? So that users can rest assured the 3d party apps wont brick their watches or drain to much battery, etc.

[isazi]

@DMytro I myself tested the development tools and made few apps, so from my knowledge of how they work I believe they cannot brick a watch (but they may make it crash, thus loosing an activity, as some users experienced yesterday enabling new apps on unsupported firmware), but they increase processing needs so some battery penalty is to expect.
Suunto will control the store though, so all apps from third-parties will go to Suunto one way or another to be published, so there will be some kind of check.

[DMytro]

@isazi ok, great to hear that, thanks! Depending on how much apps there’ll be in total, a sort of rating/commenting system may be useful, to help both users and developers. Of course, what we see today is just the first beta.

[DMytro]

@isazi oh and btw, will there be some sort of tool available for users? I might want to develop a bouldering app, since suunto still doesn’t let one count number of routes climbed (and maybe even to differentiate the grades).

[isazi]

@DMytro as of today, I think there is no plan to open the development to single users (Suunto does not have the resources for this). On the bright side, the bouldering app is the example in the S+ apps documentation, so it may eventually come.

[DMytro]

@isazi fingers crossed

[Patrick Löffler]

@isazi Thanks. Surfing app sounds good to me. Where can I find it. Maybe you know: Will there be breathework apps?

@freeheeler Oh, I wouldn’t say Amazfit GTR runner or Huawei low quality watches!

The Chinese wearables are taking the market by STORM

Well I was thinking about saving some money for new Pixel, but now… It’s complicated

[DMytro]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel the 7?

[Frederick Rochette]

Not interesting enough to upgrade from the S9P to the S9PP. I’ll wait for the next one with map guidance and a slightly larger interior screen, hopefully soon…

[Wilson75]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel you are not alone…

[Brad_Olwin]

A lot of Testers here using this watch for quite some time. Feel free to ask us. The battery life is indeed amazing. I cannot remember when I last charged it. I do 15-20h a week of exercise and don’t charge more than once every two weeks or so.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@DMytro yeah. I enjoy the photo quality of Pixels and their portability since hm, Nexus 5 but what I really miss is a useful tele lens. It seems that Pixel 7 Pro has a nice tele, but I’ll have to wait for some real-world RAWs to judge if it’s worth the absurd price.

@Brad_Olwin this is really impressive. How does the new interface work like when compass is in view? Is it as slow to refresh as it used to be, or quicker?

[DMytro]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel only the pro has a Tele lens

@Mff73 no fused track. We use a different method that still pings gps every 1s

[trailcafe]

Is it possible to run several apps like TrainingPeaks Run to have NGP and Stryd app together? Or even to configure e.g. NGP as one Datafield so I do not to switch between my main screen and the app screen?

[aroo7]

@Brad_Olwin how sound notifications (and vibration) look like compared to the S9P ?

[Egika]

@dulko79 here you get an impression of watch face (the old ones have not changed), pre-start screen and exercise fonts:

[Tomas5]

@Brad_Olwin battery life looks great. Is it true that S9PP doesn’t measure average and min. HR during sleep, openwater swimming distance and adaptive training guidance? At least in suunto website watch comparision it looks like it.
