@silentvoyager I’ve read again your post and checked your solution about pressing the middle button enough to not change the screen but before entering the menu and I think that’s not bad. You have to get used to press about 1 second and you have to press about 4 seconds to enter the menu, so you have a 3 second range, which is not bad at all.
For me now all the mentioned solutions are good enough, depending on the situation.
If I remember well, all the sport modes related to mountain (not only “mountain mode”) should have the barometer automatically set to “altimeter” and FusedAlti ready to kick in, to give priority to altitude changes measurement
I up this post because I too often face the issue of FusedAlti that doesn’t work, and this option will save us going on a move without being able to correct altitude.
This week-end I did hike with so many altitude panels on my path, altitude on my SSU was always off and no way to calibrate during move.
Thanks to quantified, here is a comparison of GPS altitude vs Altitude recorded by the watch.

No fusedalti and always 55/60m offset.
If some specialist can help, eventually here are SNR data recorded. enough good to expect fusedalti to work ?

I love a statement from suunto Facebook community,
A suunto user said suunto has answered the features requests.
Another suunto user said the answer is just a mechanical reply, if you request a rocket launcher from suunto’s social media, you will get the same reply.
All suunto users laughed.
I do no manual corrections and FusedAlti works extremely well. Here is a link to last Sunday’s climb/SkiMo in another forum. Some of our climb was quite steep 50°
The more research I did when deciding to get a running/hiking watch, the more it pushed me in the direction of deliberately getting one without built-in HR. My dainty and hairy wrists ultimately tilted me to the Spartan Ultra, and I don’t regret that decision at all. There was no sense for me to spring for an extra feature that would probably never work well on my wrist.
Ironically I’ve ended up using an optical HR monitor for workouts, and I have total trust in it now, but it’s worn against my upper arm on an elastic band. Optical HR can be very reliable; the problem is the wrist is pretty much the worst place to put a monitor, but that’s where watches have to be worn.
Well, it is not even a new feature to ask. The compass watch face is already in the watch in the navigation menu. It only has to be included in the list of watch faces you can add when creating a custom sport mode. Seems not too complicated, but I’m no software engineer.
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yep, saw that, so well, with this watch, due to the 3m threshold, Suunto Baro 9 doesn’t count those ascents. I wrote to support@suunto.com about this, and also I’m gonna get a Fenix 5 fit file to compare.
Thanks again buddy.
Same here with my Suunto Spartan Sport, sometimes I am wondering why it is making any sounds out of the closet.
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in Suunto 9 energy saver:
I am quite sure it picks up vibrations. Mine 6 watches all do it. I have to really keep them somewhere not affected by waling etc.
