Suunto 9 Peak software update?
-
zzzZZZZZZ
-
@HankWang it’s coming, not sure when but it’s coming. It will have to come to bring Strava segments and all other S+ compatibility to older watches.
-
@isazi , what about running power?
-
@Theo-Lakerveld Sadly, no running power for S9P. I read it in the S9PP thread somewhere.
Yay for Strava live segments
@isazi Any other features you are allowed to reveal for the update?

No running power for S9P… we were screwed
(have to put some steam out) I would not have bought a 500€ top end Suunto watch if I knew that it is going to be replaced in a year.Now the race is on S10 or new firmware for S9P
-
@Ketoohs it is not being replaced, is getting all new features that the hardware allows it, and continuing its life parallel to the other models. I bought one in July 2021 and still use it every day as my main sport watch.
-
I have a fear that this will be the last firmware for the 9 series. Judging by the reviews suunto will develop the peak pro and will not bother with the firmware for old watches. Somewhere we have already seen this with the Ambit and Spartan series, where the firmware was flawed, but the watch continued to sell.
-
@isazi I bought one this year.
As I said, I needed to let some steam out.But I bought it because it was the best hat Suunto had to offer and was expecting it would have been the focus of development for the time being.
Now I can not just sell the S9P as the market for used Suunto watches does not exist in my country (tried to sell a used Spartan WHR for 80€ and no one wanted it). And can not justify to buy S9PP for the new functionalities.
But waiting eager for the S9PPP or S10 or SX.
-
@Stas-Varazhbit You could counter that with the S9 getting updates 4 years after it’s release.
I have no doubt that there will be features that won’t come to the 9 or 9 peak. But that won’t make them less functional than they are now.
Plus with the development of Suunto+ you won’t need a firmware update for added functionality.

@Stas-Varazhbit
I don’t worry about that too much. S9 series is relatively new, especially peak.
if it doesn’t receive new features, we still have more than what we paid for in the first place.and of course, if Suunto decides to focus on the pro only, it’s fair enough. it’s business and resource management.
I’m happy with my S9B and don’t miss much today
nice things like quick charge, multi gnss, better baro sensor position and much more are tempting, but totally hardware related. if I want that, I need to upgrade anyway
-
@Ketoohs
SX would be a nice name
-
@freeheeler until you think how it’s pronounced XD
-
@DMytro
yeah well…
…that’s life … and how it continues 
-
I am happy with my S9P but it is possible to increase the size of the characters.
For me in the middle of a split session, it’s very difficult to read the screen. -
@Frédéric-Fiandino I would like to have an additional fw too, just because I’ve recently bought S9P and would like to update it at least once
-
@gi0vanni one coming soon I guess, Strava segments are expected for Fall 2022.

Fixed

@isazi thank you for making my day
! -
I guess S9P, S9B, S9, S5 and S5P here will go quite in parallel having the same UI and seems that same processor as well.
I guess we will have the soonish update all of us. Later, if I recall well, we could receive another update on which seems Suunto is working on.
@isazi , does the S9PP need a firmware update to receive the Strava Live Segments or when the app is published it would be sufficient?

The S9PP has already Strava segments I believe. If not, it does not need a new update. For the other watches we need an update because Strava segments are built on top of S+ guides technology.
