S9 is the top model

@Yannis-Belouris From Suuntos webpage:
“SUUNTO 9 SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.1.64
We continue to build on the robust Suunto 9 solution as this release brings GPS and Wrist heart rate performance improvements.”

Hopefully true. Running tracks are good but my hiking tracks have been pretty average thus far (even after changing from the default recording and tracking intervals).

@Brad_Olwin that’s a good point.

The update on the ohr fixes slow moving activities and there is mainly a few more fixes left to come in the following months.

One is the warmup, more apparent in cold envs.

I have seem the next to come fixes and its going to be awesome. Also this one (fw) is great improvement

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos spartan watches left behind?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@SlaSh the same ohr is on s9. I can confirm that the same and even more new ohr is coming to Spartans as well. No worries pal. Its the same fixes and better coming to you. Cheers.

Based on a walking activity this morning, the OHR got worse, much worse, with 2.1.64 for me

Track looks good though.

Interesting that the average was just about the same between the two.

Regarding your track, interesting altitude decline early on. Did you actually walk down a hill or was the watch just catching up?

@stromdiddily the watch was catching up. The last time I used it was on Saturday at a 12 hour race at higher elevation. It had been sitting on my desk since then.

New S9 are out. As far as I understand, the higher end is 100€ more expensive for…some titanium. It’s not much so where am I wrong ?

Now you can find S) with altimeter (“BARO”) or without it

@miniping Ti, and, it looks fancier. Now my 9 looks stupid and ugly… I jest.

Time for a “sell and buy” move

I guess the band makes a lot for this fancy look. Wait a bit and you’ll be able to find it on chineses websites very soon

With useless pins

@Ze-Stuart from the titanium I only envy the buttons. The bezel is not my personal thing and so far my s9 has no scratches etc. Survived 1 month at full salt with no issue.

If there is customization available at some point Ill consider this to be honest

Now MY S9 is no longer the top model…that was fast.

Did you notice the S9Ti dimensions are larger than the S9? Mistake or real?

SlaSh

@Brad_Olwin finally watch for my wrist

SlaSh

@Brad_Olwin your black at least is having barometer and sapphire glass:

“Meanwhile, Suunto 9 Black, White and Lime will retail for 499 € and feature mineral crystal glass, stainless steel bezels, silicone straps with quick release, and GPS altitude.”

@SlaSh right, I understand the only difference between S9 original and S9Ti is Titanium bizel and new strap
