Suunto 9 Peak Pro?
-
@isazi this is very sad news. the outdoor watchface was IMO the only good watchface that Suunto had, other than the one launched with S9P. In 2022 its just not acceptable to have 10 watchfaces on a $500 watch with no option for the user to “build their own” or pick complications, data fields etc. I understand time needed to be spent on the Suunto plus store and I’m happy about the live segments and other improvements but still…this is disappointing.

S9PP delivered in France
first impression : really nice.
Outside is S9P, but screen, colours, responsiveness, menus (UI) is clearly nice.
I wouldn’t say “gorgeous”, but colours are real colours
Well done, next step is to go outside and run -
@Mff73 So the screen itself has better quality in color reproduction? Is it brighter also?

Yes, I can confirm it’s brighter.
-
How large is the screen compared to S5?
What exactly happens in endurance mode in regards to GPS? Does it switch to GPS only? Is running power metering working in endurance mode too?
Is titanium just a shiny gimmick or are there any benefits (apart from weight and colors)?
-
what is just really tiring
is to create again custom sportsmode. Yes, i have screenshots of them, but, what a waste of time 
-
@Mff73 same here, I’ve not started yet

@taziden
it is not a very fresh idea https://forum.suunto.com/topic/620/watch-customization -
@Łukasz-Szmigiel On the titanium question, weight is of course a big one, as well as its more durable. I have had steel bike frames in the past which can age quickly and rust in weird areas. Titanium does not rust ever. I currently have an unfinished/non-painted titanium bike frame which shows no signs of wear (live in Canada) which I’ve had for 10 years, and I ride it all seasons. If it scratches I can easily buff them out
For watches pulled this from the web:
Stainless Steel is not as strong as Titanium hence making stainless steel watches less tough than titanium watches. Stainless Steel watches are not as durable as Titanium watches. Stainless Steel watches are needlessly heavier than titanium watches, so if weight is a concern that this is a point to take note of.

@Mff73
it’s a feature to make us reconsider what’s important
-
It would have been really cool if you could combine a SunntoGuide with a SuuntoPlus feature. I mean the situation I’m most likely wanting to use the Plus feature is when I’m doing a structured workout which is 90+% of all my workouts. Also, I had hoped with the new processor, that would be possible.

Is it just me or the backlight is brighter than the S9P?
Agreed, I think much better too.
-
@Mff73 agreed, I think a major issue is a fraction of users make custom sport modes, So, this issue is likely not at the top.

Endurance mode will use fewer satellites I believe but still 1 s fix. Yes, power works in this mode.
-
@seanvk I think enhancements to Guides will come for the Pro. Make some suggestions to garner votes.
-
@Brad_Olwin also, restoring custom modes after a hard reset could be, theoretically, not that difficult. But moving custom modes to a different watch, with different screens, screen size, etc? That is more complicated for sure, and would probably require user interaction anyway.

It would really surprise me if that’s the case. Why buy a €500 watch to only use default sport modes?

Isn’t it possible to let SA do the conversion between models?
-
@surfboomerang I would not trust any automatic conversion without user interaction . What if a data field is not available? Put nothing there, put another random data field, ask the user? Eventually it takes time, maybe less than create everything from scratch, but how many times will this happen? Would Suunto see this as a priority?
I would like to have a backup of sport modes in case of hard reset of the same watch, I would also prefer said backup to be only restored if I want to, and not automatically.

@isazi i found a cosmetic bug when in hikih basic sport mode. If are on screen showing total distance in the midle you can move distance figure left and right on the screen. Also you are not able to move to next screen when you are doing that. Tou have to place fingers lower or higher on a screen to be able to scroll to next data screen
-
@krakra can you show us what you mean? I don’t see anything strange with the default hiking mode
