        @babychai I also have no issues in the open, but OP seems to be referring to sitting inside a hut. In such cases the GPS signal may be shaky, and the watch considers this crazy signal as you moving around.

          Outside it is OK but happens indoors, unfortunately this is common scenario for us (and I suppose others) when hiking/crosscountry skiing etc. Stop in the middle for a bite or a drink in a hut and continue. Pausing the watch is an obvious solution but one has to remember to unpause it later 🙂 Anyway, mainly wanted to point out that F7 does not have such issues (maybe stronger antenna/different antenna position in watch) and therefore I don’t have to think about it - one of the “just works” examples there and the small quirks my SO needs to be aware of with S9P.

              you can set auto-pause on.
              You also have the options to manually pause the watch and there is a resume later function which if used temporarily stops GPS while pausing your activity.

              Its possibly more likely that due to multi-band (and or just the GNSS chip in general which is excellent) may have had a better fix, enough that it had a good enough signals.

              I have noted that my Epix when using All GNSS setting can get significantly better fixes than my F6x (Sony GNSS chip) including in places where my F6x cannot get a fix.

                @awinkel I have decided to go for the Garmin. There is a lot I like of the Suunto (design!) but the map functionality is a big advantage of the Garmin.
                Garmin also has a website instead of only an app.
                And…I got the Fenix7 for only 50 euro’s more than a Suunto9 PP.
                That small price difference makes the Garmin theoretically the better choice.
                And I haven’t forgotten Suunto’s digital transformation…
                That was a big fuck you to their customers.

                  @awinkel Glad you were able to find a solution, F7 is a great watch. Happy trails!

                    ok, I also had to go thru the famous house of change. but I did not feel the same way about the digital transformation.
                    but it’s good that you could finally decide and made your choice 🙂

                      @awinkel Only 50€ more? For the non sapphire version i suppose? 9PP has sapphire…big difference in my opinion!

                        @Ultrawalker Yes, the non sapphire version. I read a few reviews and that wrote that the glass of the Fenix7 silver edition was already of very good quality and that paying for just the sapphire glasses wasn’t needed. Time will tell… 😉
                        The glass of my Ambit2 wasn’t t sapphire glass too and has no scratch at all.
