Suunto 9 Peak Pro?
-
@Brad_Olwin I have to agree with you the S7 mapping capabilities on that quality screen is the best however, the S7 hasn’t received a single additional feature since the release. No suunto plus or virtual partner…
-
@BinoWorld-UK I do think Suunto considers the S7 as an Apple Watch equivalent and not a dedicated sport watch. Hence, no Guides, Ghost Runner, etc. For this type of watch the sports features are equivalent or better than competitors. If an updates comes, I would expect different hardware.
-
The best thing about s7 is the screen and I still waiting for a new Suunto watch with a amoled screen
I don’t now if it comes but I hope for it -
@isazi The whole Ant+ thing is still an issue with Garmin. In order for me to use external sensors like the STRYD foot pod, I have to use my Suunto 9 Baro because it has a way better connection via Bluetooth. I literally disconnected my STRYD from Garmin because it was always behind. STRYD also seems to make excuses for Garmin in this regard and they refuse to disclose any information as to why the connection with Garmin products is so bad. They literally tell you not to connect to Garmin via Bluetooth. Garmin’s Bluetooth connection is apparently useless. Suunto may not have a ton of features, but it works the way I need it to work…every time. My only complaint with Suunto is the terrible OHR and the lag. Other than that it’s a reliable product.

In next days, someone will explain you Suunto has the best ohr, it’s parfait for himself, blablabla
-
@zhang965
OHR in S9B is basically useless (for me, my opinion).
I couldn’t do sports without my verity sense. -
@freeheeler btw, after I changed to an elastic hook and loop strap, my ohr improved by much. Not to say its good, but not terrible. So I use ohr for the activities where I care little about instant HR and more so about the average. I coud indeed get rid of huge spikes and drops and cadence lock, so I’m satisfied.

@DMytro
the way I like to wear my watch doesn’t help for good OHR reading. I know that a better watch with better OHR will improve, but still isn’t up to my verity sense I simply don’t like sitting a watch too tight.
I like my watch like I like my ski bindings: relatively loose at some parts -
@freeheeler still, I’d suggest you give it a shot. It is tight but doesn’t feel like it.
-
@DMytro
do you have a link? you can also pm me -
The OHR doesn‘t work on tattoed sleeves since the last update. Really terrible SW-work from suunto. I will give them one last chance with the next update….or i will start a new adventure with polar
-
@cosme-costa Less than 24 h now if this teaser was the real deal
-
OHR is terrible for me also, in running in particular. It tends to read around 20/30 bpm more. I have tried many times with different positions, configurations… No success. If I wear my wife’s Apple Watch, the readings are almost perfect.

@Efejota
which model do you have? -
@Efejota yes S9B useless most of the time, especially if it gets slightly colder or during running… S9P little better, but still makes me use smart sensor. Tried Garmins new 4th gen. This was for me complete different thing… Very reliable. But don’t want a Garmin watch (altitude accuracy, app, style, love SUUNTO brand…). Let’s see if S9PPro gets updated sensor…
-
@freeheeler S9P
-
This is going a bit off-topic
I obviously don’t know if there is a watch coming or not, but if there is one, many people in this forum will be able to answer all questions after release.
-
@isazi
I thought the same… but since there is no S9PP, we could discuss anything here -
I’m betting that our speculation and conjecture will be over very soon
-
@freeheeler Exactly, do you know what the market share of Suunto in the wearables industry?
I am guessing it’s minuscule and probably crying out for a cash injection for future development. Competition is good but it’s a bit too much for Suunto to handle the Chinese influx of wearable offering shit loads of features for half the cost of any Suunto watch……
