      @fleshymutant I also still hoping to get glonass soon. Got the deepest canyon of the world race coming up and there things get wanky.

        After 2 tests I’m very happy to with Suunto 9, yesterday a run and today a hike.

        With the run OHR works like a charm, only I tightened it up, not moving up my arm as Suunto suggest.

        This is the workout

        Today the hike in the beginning (from 08 to10) I have some up HR without reason but I tightened it up more, and moving up and everything starts to be correct and logical.

        Today workout: http://www.movescount.com/es/moves/move228295684

        Yesterday we start a discussion with @SlaSh on suunto app that perhaps the kind of strap goes with Suunto 9 mades OHR acts so well, encapsulating more the watch and avoiding noise, but today that I have some noise and wrong measures in the beginning, I understand that today behavior will be the habitual

        With GPS what I expect, i some scenarios, specially into the cities, is less precise than the Baro, but in the forest and the country I acts perfectly and FusedTrack works as I expect.

        Here a comparision between my Baro and Suunto 9:

          @aldnet @SlaSh My experience with OHR has not been good! Most of this run was in Zone 1/2 HR with a bit of Z3 climbing. Most of the time I looked at the S9, my HR was 180 or above. My max is in the mid 180s. http://www.movescount.com/moves/move228337309

            @brad_olwin mmm, interesting, that was the behaviour I had sometimes with Baro

            Do tou tightned up the watch to the wrist?

            But it seems that in the case of OHR seems S9 is like Baro.

            Today measures with walking workouts are good

            Tomorrow I will test with treadmill

              @aldnet yes, done all of that. Walking is fine so is sitting. Not running.

                @aldnet it depends what your hands are doing during running and on what kind surface you running and ascent or descent 😉 for stadium run ohrm will be just fine, for trail running don’t know 🙂

                    Based on what I have read so far ut is hard to justify an upgrade from SSU to S9. Or are you able to convince me?

                        @aldnet kinda, I know one weird runner who is barely moving his hands and elbows are tucked to his ribs, for him any ohrm is sufficient 🙂

                          @marius-jacobsen-eggerud Same here. I do not see any advantage to replace the SSU for the S9. Of course if I need to buy a new watch, S9 will by my first option but to change from the top model to the new top model I do not see it yet.

                          BATTERY: In my case I usually run between 9 and 14 km and my longest runs are 20-25 km (mainly trail running). With that I am able to do 3/4 runs and recharge the watch every 7/8 days. If you do ultras maybe I would be tempted to get the S9.

                          OHRM: For the type of runs that I do is quite useless from what I read. Of course If I have it I will use it, but not for exercise monitoring.

                          GPS: I haven’t read any comment saying that S9 is better that the SSU. Probably it will be in the future but not right now. In my case I am not a track freak neither, I want that the stored tracks are real but I do not mind if I move 3 m and the GPS doesn’t detect it.

                          If Suunto continues improving the SSU, and adding nice features like battery management, etc. I do not see the advantages of switching from one to the other. (SUUNTO do not stop improving the Spartan series 😉 ).

                          Don’t get me wrong, I like a lot the S9. If I had any other Suunto model probably right know I would be writing about my new S9, but having the SSU and with the prices of the S9 it still isn’t my watch.

                                  Just to be clear, I think and from what I see so far, Suunto does not fragment SW.

                                  Except the S3F the rest of the models are on the same line of features SW wise of course…

                                  S3F is an exception due to the Firstbeat FITNESS stuff (not ahtlete stuff)

                                        @slash hehe I can post screens if you like. Both my baro and SSU have all these thingies and some more great stuff to come 🙂

                                        I think, next update has to be a big one, so it might take some time. (from my experience with Suunto updates)

                                          @dimitrios-kanellopoulos suunto needs to speed up as many people are having races and etc during summer which is busiest time and would benefit from such thing a lot, I mean A LOT 🙂
