@cosme-costa thx.raise to wake is active ut it was active as well with previous fw veraion.

[cosme.costa]

@Djordje-S Yes, an now is brighter so maybe here there is more comsumption and as I have said, if before was active only during activities now is always active, even in watch mode.

[fluca]

@jthomi yes haapens to me as well

[Djordje S]

@cosme-costa that was my assumption as well initially but did nit expect that it will consume that much.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

I have limited rise to wake to a dim light with this update and my feeling is that the battery lasts longer now (9PP).

@Łukasz-Szmigiel We are all beta testers now…

[Djordje S]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel did that already.Set it on Low and for now I do have a feeling that it lasts longer but will see

[inkognito]

@Djordje-S My S9 usually consumed ~15% per day (with HR and notifications on, low backlight, no Raise to wake, no Standby backlight). Now (after several calibration cycles) it is ~20%. It definitely feels like an increase… Battery consumption during night seems the same as before, so I would really blame the newly increased low backlight level (during notifications or any other interaction with the watch) in my case…

Damn, are you able to identify your watch is S9PP or s9p ?

[Highlands]

@zhang965 Mine is 9 peak pro.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Highlands you want to beta test, yeah, you want to? Ok, we’ll make everybody a beta tester now, that’ll show you!

[Highlands]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel Yeah, they learn fast the old Garmin tricks.

Hey guys, has any of you figured out mermaiding and snorkeling? What’s the difference? Is Mermaiding about the dives mainly? And the snorkeling is about diving too but the distance gets measured as well?

That’s basically how I understand it and what the manual says.

Basically I’ve been using Mermaiding weekly at my friend’s pool because it’s shorter than the minimum pool swimming length and GPS fix is not great. At least I can capture my subsurface dives well lol

@Umer-Javed

Isn’t mermaid8ng snorkling with a monofin?

[Umer Javed]

@Croatoan that’s correct. I just culturally appropriated the sport because my friend’s pool is too short to use any of the other modes

I still have no Strava segment on my Suunto 9 peak, I tried both IOS and Android. The Suunto 9 peak is updated via beta link.

Has anyone happened to this in the guides?

In dark mode, all good.

In light mode, the screen is dark and the data labels disappear.

I have the same issue on my S9B with the latest official software version. I hope it will be fixed.

[auxina]

@halajos Thanks for sharing your experience

I’ve just noticed that my girlfriend’s S9P still does one extremely illogical thing when it comes to backlight during exercise:

• If you use Raise to wake and use Display timeout (in custom sport mode), backlight turns on even when the screen is turned off (after the timeout).

I can’t really believe this is still a thing… This just drains the battery totally unnecessarily…
