Suunto 9 Peak Pro?

@Mff73
it’s a feature to make us reconsider what’s important

[seanvk]

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.

[Brad_Olwin]

@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.

@Łukasz-Szmigiel said in Suunto 9 Peak Pro?:

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)?

Endurance mode will use fewer satellites I believe but still 1 s fix. Yes, power works in this mode.

[Brad_Olwin]

@seanvk I think enhancements to Guides will come for the Pro. Make some suggestions to garner votes.

[isazi]

@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?

[isazi]

@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

[isazi]

@krakra can you show us what you mean? I don’t see anything strange with the default hiking mode

[Dušan Ković]

@Mff73 Not agaaaaing… Come on Suunto, add few Megabytes of cloud storage for sport modes…

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Brad_Olwin so basically endurance can be used for cycling or running in the open. Which means 70+ hours when used with external HR?

[Brad_Olwin]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel Should go 70h with OHR. I have not tested enough to determine benefit of external HR

@mikekoski490

Main point of titanium watches beside weight is when you have a person allergic to nickel which is in all stainless alloys. Allergic reaction occurs at random, to some people and to some never.

With titanium or gold you just have much smaller chance of getting an allergic reaction, but it is possible still.

Yep. Thx. This one is already known in Suunto’s bug database

First trail run yesterday with the new beast. OHR seems to suit me better than with previous model (to be confirmed). Power looks also to work great.

BUT, indeed, what a pitty to have to customize again all sport mode

[Martin Vrska]

@v-sacre That’s a joy .

@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.

i just hope that not all developpements are always done according to usage statistics.
is there any survey which could measure how many people would create a custom sportsmode, IF it would be “easier”/“quicker” ?
If Suunto would propose an option just to change one field from a standard sportmode, and create then a custom one, i imagine more users would try (but just my guess).

i, for sure, can’t imagine how difficult each situations could be.
But from far seeing (comparing SSU, and S9PP), screens logics are the same (3/4/5/7 fields, laps tabs, etc…), and saving/restoring screentype, data fields choosen in which position, there should not be that much exceptions inside Spartan/S watches lines. And in case copy/paste/backup/restore into other watch, would not match 100%, yes, a warning message that in this particular case, could be enough.

but too much offtopic now

@Mff73
I’m thinking out loud now… if I put Suunto in my professional situation, I can imagine that a task that takes 30min for a customer maybe once a year has not highest priority to solve if the solution cost me 4 or more weeks to develop…
It’s just what I started thinking when I look at my stack of work after vacation.
I can imagine the stack for Suunto developers isn’t smaller
I voted for backup and also gave feedback about it in surveys, but if I rate the pain compared to other issues and new developments it is minor. not during the setup of a new watch but the rest of the 3-4 years

…same with any new android phone, by the way
