Suunto 9 Peak Pro?

@herlas known. S+ guides should work though.

I run with a few different guys who all wear Garmin’s of various description, elevation is usually slightly under theirs with my S9B but my distance always comes out a little more. Over the course of a 20km run I’m usually around 300-500m ahead of them, but I’ve never really known whose readings are closer to the real distance.

When I had Garmins (early 2021 and prior) before switching to the S9B, this was my experience too. Garmins showed more elevation and less mileage than what other watches showed, but for me, that always translated into positive surprises come race day when I finished courses quicker than expected because of the distance undercounting

More recently, my best example of measurements is an 8.4-mile bike-odometer-measured trail race I did this past March. It’s a very winding course, and the race director said under normal conditions, watches will show about 0.1 miles less each mile. We didn’t have “normal” that day – we had blowing snow and heavily clouded skies.

• My wife’s Coros showed 7.62 miles
• My 9 Baro showed 7.60 miles
• A Coros friend showed 7.53 miles
• Every Garmin watch I saw showed between 7.00 and 7.20 miles.

I feel comfortable telling people that Garmin wearables released prior to 2022 tend to undercount distances more than most others.

Did my first intervals workout with S9PP, and faced issues with my custom lap table missing interval avg power and interval avg pace, see attached screen configuration and photo of the issue. Executed workout via a TP guide with power targets and STRYD, BTW this was okay with S9P.

@TrailEyes The Fenix ​​7 is the first Garmin I’ve tested in 10 years. Compared to a Vertix 2, the distance at Garmin was always longer. Of course, the S9PP needs more tests, a single unit has no meaningfulness.

@Mff73 Oh, that’s interesting!! Presumably, the magnet will be weaker, which is a great plus for me. Because the strong magnet for my S9P often decalibrates the compass. Maybe that issue will occur less with the new charger.

[Simon]

@freeheeler The bigger number of Likes for your post seems to confirm this thought I do hope (and guess) that new S9Ps will be delivered with the new charger, at least. Or will they stop producing the S9P…?

The run today S9PP 8.06km Fenix ​​7x 8.11km and Vertix 2 7.91km. I also have to say that the Suunto shows most precisely where I actually ran on the map, the Coros the worst.

Just finished trail run ~22km. New Ui readability is great! Better fonts, faster switching between screens. I think that gps track was more precise than S9P or B. I am really pleased. The only thing that will need some getting used to is new pause/end screen. I got used to end activities with top and bottom button. All in all I’m really pleased

I did a 20k run with the S9PP, it was not faster. It was even a lillte bit slower.

I don’t spend 650€ to be slower.

I’m asking for a refund.

Oh no, do you have any video to show how slow it is?

[Kowalski]

@zhang965 Sadly no, the race was over since one hour when I arrived at the finish line.

I don’t get you now, what do you mean by slow?

[wakarimasen]

@zhang965 guessing that @Kowalski ran slower

[freeheeler]

@wakarimasen
normally new gadgets make you 10% faster …at least it feels like

[seanvk]

@freeheeler One trick I use on my speed days is to wear the Orange mount for my Stryd sensor.

[wakarimasen]

@freeheeler that’s because your wallet is lighter

[taziden]

After today’s run, I’ve had a message with a green background and a check mark saying : “Marche étalonnée”.

Does anyone know what this means?

From a quick search, it seems related to FusedTrack and the Endurance mode on S9 models.

(Sorry if I’m being too curious :D)

[freeheeler]

@taziden
did you use running activity for the first time today? I think the watch does that when you first use activity by feet

[dulko79]

Yes, if used first time for running it could be stride length calibration.
