Suunto 9 Peak Pro?

aroo7

@Łukasz-Szmigiel After a few months of using the watch, it doesn’t look so good. A bit like the old windows machine
The sound at the start of the exercise is a drag every time. That’s not the worst of it, however, I’m more annoyed by the long time of saving the workout. The hourglass spins for me for about 30 seconds. The longer the workout, the longer the save takes.

It also returns to the first screen after manually pausing the workout. Annoying especially when you have navigation screen on.

I hope the upcoming update will correct this.

@aroo7 it seems slow, I have to agree, and I too hope that the firmware will be polished, as it seems rushed.

I don’t have any sound in the beginning on the excercise, bur long delay is there. Delay is about 6-8 seconds. I don’t remember this kind of delay from last autumn, so some FW update included this bug. Maybe 2.22.56 worked still fine, but hard to remember.

Received the all black today. Very small, very light. I think it’s a keeper. So far, I like it. I find the watch faces useless and boring. I’m taking it for a hike this afternoon.

I also have long beep while starting any indoor activity (red symbol sports). I was playing around with exercise menu settings before starting them and notice that turning Media control off caused normal Suunto jingle more often. Can someone else also try it?

Is there some correlation between long beep and resource drop? Walking and running starts much faster anyway.

I am using the S9PP since release. I don’t have the long delay at the start of an exercise. But saving takes a very long time. Even if it’s just 10s long, it takes 20s to 30s to save. The watch also gets stuck in saving sometimes (the spinner keeps spinning and spinning and…). After 30min I usually give up and press the upper right button for 15s to make the watch usable again. The exercise is lost in this case. Great user experience.

I will try a reset and see if this helps. Of course all my custom sport profiles will be lost. Again: great user experience.

@Jugger
does this long beep happen every time?
I’ve tried with pool swim and it long beeped only once, the other couple of trials were normal.

Jugger

@freeheeler For streching, yes. Only today when I disable media control I got normal Suunto sound few times but mostly only long beep. After beep it might take up to 10 sec before exercise screen shows up telling 10 sec already passed. Walking and running activities works just fine. Maybe I try soon soft reset and see if it helps.

I have a stupid question, if you disable the sound what will happen? Will it have a long term vibration?

freeheeler

@Jugger
very strange. yes, please try a soft reset and keep us updated.

@wmichi I suffered that issue (stucked while saving) two times (in three days) past summer with S9P.
After a factory reset it didn’t happen again.

Reading this post I find coincidences with issues in S9P so softwares seem not so different after all.

Jugger

@zhang965 I did shut down sound from general setting leaving vibration only to only hear again long beep Strange enough when changing battery settings to tour, jingle is back but now it took 12 sec to get on exercise screen. I also changed language to english because with S9Baro finnish was causing crash on altitude menu.

I do soft reset and try again. Never had to do it before after last FW update.

Jugger

@wmichi Funny how problems differ from watch to watch. Mine never crashed during saving.

jjpaz

@Jugger No, funny is that long term issues/behaviors seem very similar for different hardware devices.
So, or new hardware is not so powerful or is not optimized by software (that derives from old softwares as well).
That’s my actual reason for not buying a S9PP and keep training with S9P and B, I don’t find sustancial improvements and seems that S9PP behavior after months of use is very similar to S9P.

Since Spartan, all Suunto watches are getting the same behavior after months, my s9p’s gps was very good at the beginning, then I got the speed drop months after.

… not (at all) true for every Suunto watch. Did not have it with the Spartan, and still have not had it with my Suunto 9 Non-Baro. My wife and two friends with non-baros did not have any issue like that at all. Speaking for me and my wife only: I usually do not even have any soft-resets between the firmware-Updates.

I got a Spartan ultra and a S9B, then s9p (I had the lag issues), s9pp(so far so good), could it be an issue on the barometer?

How do I lock the buttons and the touch during activity and out of activity?

freeheeler

@skifun
long press lower button in activity. in watch and pause mode, not possible.
touch is inactive by default during an activity, but you can activate it in custom battery mode
