@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.

@cosmecosta well said. And updates wont stop. SSu gets the same bat management.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos how about baro and battery management?
-
@slash same
-
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)

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos This is very good and nice from Suunto!! Lets hope this policy lasts!!
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos good to hear such
-
@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
-
@slash yeah but it’s summer pal. Lots of people on vacation.
-
@cosmecosta Even thou I do ultras, I fully agree with what you mention. With the battery management coming to SSU I think it will be good enough (at least as long as the price point is today).
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos said in S9 is the top model:

It’s a good news that Suunto update all Spartan with the same function!
-
It seems that we continue in closed circuit … lots of ideas, suggestions, bugs reports but almost stopped… for vacations.
So, until September.SR

@luís-pinto in our contry we almost do not have vocations
but for me it is as well quite strange explanation for slow development, do they struggle with Human Resources? In current company in which I work developement isn’t impacted by vocation period as we share workload by covering each over. -
@slash everybody have rights. No question. This is a confirmation that at some point develop of app stopped. No comunication at all. We still now in close circuit.

@luís-pinto we will see if waiting was worth with next release
let’s be more positive -
@slash As I live in the Nordics I can confirm that it is usual that things “slow down” during summer, so this is not only Suunto.
Remember we only have summer for 2-3 months a year, the rest is wet, dark, rainy and cold. -
@marius-jacobsen-eggerud same in our country with summer
but you have 3 months to spread between team members. We cannot afford to let everyone out at the same time so all are scheduling their vocations -
@slash yes, but it is still fewer resources available.
