I gave my Core to my godfather He must be a happy person if reading this. (dont think so reading this though)
I am a godfather to the person I have given black core and ultra copper
@MrCUBS yes, I have noticed that on the rare occasion that I have to open turn instead of flip it will always detect it, but if I have a very streamlined flip, it cannot always determine what happened.

The Ambit2 and Ambit3 series of watches do let you edit the POI during the process of adding one on the watch itself. I had a Vertical model before switching to a Spartan. I thought I remembered doing this and recently reconfirmed this with an Ambit3 owner on another forum just to to be sure. I’m thinking of switching back to an Ambit3 Peak from my Spartan. Never been totally happy with my Spartan and it seems Suunto is never going to add back some of these features I consider critical for my use. I’ve been waiting 2 years now and still can’t do this on the Spartan. Not that they ever promised they were planning this feature, but for backcountry use, it’s kinda important if you ask me. Now with an impending move to SA from MC in the next 12 months, and zero indication that I’ll even still be able to do POI from a phone or web app…well, I might as well pick up a Peak that can function standalone if I have to.
Garmin is not an option. Their GPS accuracy on the Fenix line of watches is questionable. And Garmin evidently can’t get altimeter accuracy figured out either.
So it’s back to the Ambit3 Peak I guess for the most functionality. Better GPS over both the Vertical and Spartan, and I can manually enter a destination right on the watch from a map or mapping software on my phone. And if Suunto ever gets off the pot and does this right, maybe I can move back to a newer model.
For me it’s okay. I pause the activity with the upper button. Then there are a green field at the top of the screen with “continue” and a red field with “stop” at the bottom of the screen. It’s clear what will happen after pressing a button.
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.
@aroo7 said in New watches:
@Egika What’s wrong with asking questions?
Just like @dennisdemennis said there are a lot of people who have spartan watches
I don’t see any question in the post I answered to. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.
People with Spartan watches can coninue using them. Or they can sell them/put them into the drawer collection and get a new watch. If you now get an S5/9 etc. as replacement, you know what you get. It will not become useless or degraded if there was a new hardware at the doorstep. That’s why I could not follow the OP.
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
