I’m thinking that will be a cheaper version (materials) of the S9
S9 Baro can do everything if they allow it to do it.
With the HRV tracking & using a proper algorithm can tell your stress, regeneration, sleep quality, fitness, etc.
It must allows 24/7 hrv tracking && export ALL the data…

From Suunto’s legal perspective it should be definitely better to note it on manuals (and I guess they pay attention to this) and that’s why I supposed it was ok to press it
I still use Movescount. Suunto App is getting better but I am not ready to switch for a number of reasons:
a) Lack of a good web interface like Movescount.
b) Lack of support for POIs and Waypoints
c) Lack of some metrics like cadence, temperature, EPOC, etc
d) Can’t easily copy dozens of my routes from Movescount
e) Would like to be able to sync with two watches
In general I tend to use the app only for the sync and do all the analysis in desktop browser on the web. So the functionality of the app doesn’t matter that much to me, but the platform matters way more.
Touchscreen or not on a watch was never really a factor in my purchase decision, but as a left hander who wears a watch on the right and for whom every button push always involved that awkward hand contortion, now that I’ve had a touchscreen for a while I’d never want to go back to nothing but buttons.
Typically it should be faster. It searches for satellites, and needs min. of 3 for position, 4 for elevation. The more satellites, the faster the gps fix.
Elevation in non baro watches is derived from GPS positionning, vertical precision is much worse than horizontal one, and can be greatly affected by the surroundings (tall buldings, tree cover…). Elevation at the beginning of my activities is often wrong (like 30/40m above actual value)… If you share a link to your activity (or at least some screengrabs of the elevation profile), maybe we can see better where the error comes from.
Regardless of what garmin writes, I just looked at the s9 manual and there is no reference to it.
You might be right eh … I’m just saying that there’s no warning about not pressing the keys under water
I’ve received an answer form the support:
“Thank you for reaching our Suunto support channel and sharing your inquiry with us. Our apologies about what happened with your D5.
Your safety is our priority during diving. We highly recommend to have us check the dive computer for you just to be sure.”
So I have to send it back. Maybe they can find out what the problem is.
@ianpet if
More features = better
Then yes.
The Kailash is a piece of art and the accompanying app as well. It’s for the pleasure of this art - not for a feature killer watch.
My bet for a potential S6 would be a refined version of the SSSWHRBaro. New gps chipset and other minor under the hood upgrades as with the S9.
The differences between the Ultra and the Sport-lines are essentially the battery capacity and the materials used. Can’t see a reason why they wouldn’t go with the same strategy again, but this time making the only model available the “HR + Baro”, as these features are the standard amongst the competing brands and models.
They might also opt for more clear separation between their top end and mid range products by not including software features such as the intelligent battery and FusedTrack on the S6. These are mainly related to battery consumption and wouldn’t be paramount for the “mid-range consumer”.
@Yannis-Belouris said in Suunto Smart Sensor. Help... defect?:
Bought myself 5 straps (blue is very nice color) before I ended up if buying a polar H10 that just works without any excuses.
I went through probably 8 replacement straps and 2 sensors before giving up and buying Polar H10. Each strap would only work reliably for 3-4 months before starting to glitch.
Well, for one I was scared a lot by reading some stuff online and especially here on forums. I’m new Suunto Ambit 3 Peak user. Been used watch for like a week now. But now that I gathered how:
the watch works
how online platforms work
how to pair it
how to analyze/share workouts
I can only say that I’m a happy customer. Watch really can and does everything I would ask from it. I can customize it the way I want. Never really wanted anything apart from metrics on my watch, I’m retty old skool user, don’t really use earphones etc. while exericising so that’s another + for my Ambit as it is really bare to the bones, no nonsense type of watch.
And all I want it to remain this way. In which case I see myself sticking to the brand in the future.
