        I want to send back mine but I really don’t want to wait a full month for it to come back, is it usually better ? for example, if I send it in September maybe ?

          You buy a new watch in France you have about 30 jours to return it.

          When your old watch gets repaired, return the new one.

            @surfboomerang Good point! Could be some anti insect DEET too. DEET is also very aggressive to some plastic.

                    SUUNTO 9 PEAK PRO WITH MILITARY-GRADE DURABILITY
                    Suunto 9 Peak Pro was tested according to the MIL-STD 810H military-grade standard to ensure maximum reliability and durability and it passed all of them.

                    List of the tests:
                    MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 500.6 Low Pressure (Altitude)
                    MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 501.7 High Temperature, operation
                    MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 502.7 Low Temperature, operation
                    MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 503.7 Temperature Shock
                    MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 507.6 Humidity
                    MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 509.7 Salt Fog
                    MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 516.8 Shock
                    MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 516.8 Drop
                    MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 521.4 Icing/Freezing Rain
                    MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 505.7 Solar Radiation
                    MIL-STD-810H - Test Method 510.7 Sand and dust

                    U.S. MIL-STD-810 is a United States Military Standard that emphasizes tailoring an equipment’s environmental design and test limits to the conditions that it will experience throughout its service life, and establishing chamber test methods that replicate the effects of environments on the equipment rather than imitating the environments themselves.

                      @zhang965 Sooo… no chemical tests.
                      DEET and suncream are still plausible

                              @macpen Look i sent my watch to service Center in Prague in 28.6. my unit arrived there at 30.6.

                                @GiPFELKiND Could it be that you purchased your watch from some idealo store or online (and actually it is CZ watch)? Cause I sent mine to Finland directly and got it back in Germany directly.

                                  @Hristijan-Petreski According to their website, H.S.H Sport is the authorized Suunto service centre for Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland 😁 , France, Germany, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden.
                                  But who knows how does it work in practice and it might also depend on how busy individual service centres are…

                                  SV: fingers crossed :D
                                  S9 (non-baro): died after 2 months, replaced, holding strong since 03/20
                                  Spartan Trainer: casing broke after 23 months, repaired, lost watertightness 5 months later, died
                                  Despite some pretty bad luck, I still love Suunto!

                                    Hmmh… maybe lost when Amer sold Suunto to China?

                                    But, this is what i am afraid of, i have had this watch now about 3weeks, and if i have to send it to warranty and it takes 4+ weeks, not so good thing to handle. Do i have to buy another one and sell this when it comes back from warranty or something similar. Dunno…

                                      Amer was already Chinese before selling Suunto to Liesheng.

                                        @isazi Yeah! Amer itself was sold to China. Suunto has just been passed around in China, although at lower valuations.

                                            Just sent my watch to CZ, wish me luck on the delays ^^
                                            On a side note, the DHL pickup at home is absolutely great, it feels nice to have things like that made to help you reduce the inconvenience, they grabbed my watch a 2 pm yesterday, and is already out for delivery in Prague
