Suunto 9 Peak Pro?

@fluca
I also expect that Suunto did a great job on readability and contrast of the screen.
The benefit of a smaller watch is less annoyance of it during the workout and I am also aware that bigger watches are disturbing e.g. during push ups.
I am absolutely not against the size of S9PP and might give it a try, too.
But I would appreciate to at least have a choice… coming from Suunto Core to garmin F3, A3PS and now S9B

@freeheeler I prefer s9pp size but would have liked a bigger screen. Maybe this can be achieved in the next gen by shrinking bezels a little bit?

freeheeler

@DMytro
I have no insights but have picked up that the bezel seem to bear the antenna. not sure how small the antenna can be or if it is possible to put it below the screen?
I think if it would have been possible nowadays Suunto would have already increased the screen for a better body/screen ratio.
with phones (always the phone example ), it also took some years before the bezel became smaller and almost disappeared

DMytro

@freeheeler I also wonder if that may be because of the display connector. In which case I would much rather prefer a flat tire display that thicker bezels.

@isazi I’m especially impressed with S5 getting new updates still. Only the battery is getting a little bit wimpy, but other than that it’s still going strong.

@Bogdan1921 next week may be busier

@isazi But I have a marathon this weekend… How the hell am I going to run it without the new FW for my S9P.

For those wondering about the battery modes.

@Ketoohs New FW before important start, almost like a new trainers… Sound a bit risky

freeheeler

@Kosta
only if it isn’t tested well enough

@el2thek

Note: “Good” GPS accuracy/Endurance mode use a power saving 1-second GPS fix setting. This means that you can still use the watch’s navigation features on these settings.

This is pretty neat!

@isazi Reminds me previous naming convention like Suunto Spartan Sport (SSS), Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR (SSSWHR)…

Seems like Suunto is iterating back to naming where abbreviation is as long as name itself, if not longer…

I wonder if it has a ‘Remember to lube your nipples’ prompt on it for when you are racing marathon’s

Let’s see if S9PP starts shipping before the release date as it happened with S9P

of course they do, you can find there are lots of review under S9PP already:

@zhang965
these are from field testers… and one (saw it by coincidence) from an unhappy S9P user

zhang965

@freeheeler WTF, you and write one review without actually buying one?

freeheeler

@zhang965
they declare themselves as testers, I don’t see anything wrong with it.
it’s reviews that helps potential buyers who do not read forums and don’t watch youtube channels to decide before shipment starts… only the unhappy S9P user, I don’t understand!
