@tomahawk5000 true. The sensor on the S9 is quite expensive on the battery, more than Bluetooth.

@Chriisii21 Regarding heart rate, and having also a S9 baro I do not have face problems using a Polar H10 strap or Suunto Smart Sensor. Are you sure that is tight enough or wet? Could be that when you are in the MTB it moves and loses contact? Is the battery new? Regarding the fitness level, in my case is quite reliable but a few hints: Define correctly max heart rate and rest heart reate. As far as I know it only works with “running” activities (running, trail running, etc…). Besides if your heart rate is not measured correctly it will give bad/false values.

Thanks for sharing! Good to know. I will ask if it is possible to report to Suunto.

Just to inform . Suunto repair service works very quickly. The watch was repaired in 7 days (with transport both ways!). Well done Suunto!

@gazaman77 mine also worked indoor in the past, but for big storms, i.e. those that get names.

@Matteo-Danelli let us know if you have other issues.

The suunto 9 BARO as it is called now seems to be a very good sports watch but it is not perfect. I recently spoke to the guy who wrote this suunto 9 Baro review and he was telling me that he loved it but he is still unconvinced with the apps. He loved the extended battery life and metrics. I am toying between buying this one of a Garmin 6X Pro. Lening more towards the suunto as I have an ambit 3 already and the 9 Baro looks like a solid watch all-round.

OP changed the title to, I assume, only talk about the S9 and not all watches.

@michaeldwilson The best I have found is to have both the tone and vibration on. Typically one of those will get my attention.

@Brad_Olwin It could definitely be more efficient I think. A quick check sees 12 button presses (from time screen) required to begin a hike and disable wrist HR (assuming it was the last activity used). I was hoping a workaround would be a custom battery mode, but no wrist HR option here. Lets hope we see some improvement here.

@Mff73 Thank you for your advice! it has now worked with reinstalling the app!

Hey all, I don’t want to create new topic so I’ll write here if you don’t mind. What if I have 2 different watches and two HR belts, if I pair one belt with one watch and second with second. Is there any option that first watch will read HR from second belt or it cannot happend? I just want to avoid situation that I’ll record HR’s partner

Perhaps I experienced a fluke. Subsequent runs went without a hitch.

@jpsycho78 Have you attempted to connect to Suuntolink and perform a hard reset?

@vr2udt Yes from Facebook, but the same in some place in this forum. https://forum.suunto.com/search?term=shipping mode&in=titlesposts Thanks to @sartoric who have shared this search link today as well
