9PP Appreciation in 2026 / Things to fix before it's orphaned
-
@isazi Understood. Thanks for the reply and for all of your input across the forum. I guess this will now just be a 9PP appreciation post, which is just as well.
-
Maybe we could start some sort of crowd founding campaign for a LTS 9PP
Further I think it would be cool if older products - not specifically Suunto, could gain a 2nd live by community driven development.
There is something similar around with cameras like magic lantern for Canon EOS: https://www.magiclantern.fm -
Love mine too ! Itâs the perfect watch !

9PP user here!
Great watch and amazing updates for a 3-year-old device, but the sound/vibration issue (with the latest update) is very annoying.
Also, in Trail mode with the Polar H9 heart rate belt, the heart rate zone indicator (the frame in each window) doesnât work. I switched to Run mode and it started working again.

possibly you changed intensity zones for your trail running to something different? Check for this in the options. E.g. If you changed this to ZoneSense, it will take 10 minutes to actually show somethingâŚ

@2b2bff you perfectly right! Iâve checked and I had zonesense for trail mode. Thanks a lot!
Instead yesterday night the ohr does not work and this cause a bad recording info for the sleeping data. I think itâs the first time after a lot of correct night!I would like to add the usually the data ara incredible align with the real info (Iâm a father and when my son wake up in the night and I bring him in parents bed, the watch are able to capture this awake time)

Iâve been wearing my titanium watch daily for three years. I love its look, its size, and its battery, which allows me to go on expeditions to mountain huts for several days without recharging. Unfortunately, the heart rate tracking during activities has never been very good, but itâs worse than ever lately and is almost completely unreliable. This is too frustrating, especially since my Suunto Smart chest strap just died. I dream of the performance of the Race 2, but the size and look of my 9 Peak Pro. Who knowsâŚ
-
@mercierml in size and look Race S comes closest to S9 Peak Pro
-
@mercierml I wonder if there would be at least bugfix releases for the 9PP while it is still on sale.
But I think that train is gone since the last update
-
@Ecki-D. yes, for clear watch bugs there still can be fix releases.
-
@Egika this is likely only the âeveryone has their time offsetâ type though, as happened in 2020, right? Suunto has no prior history of issuing bug fixing only updates after FW updates are done.
If they do, I will absolutely make an effort to catalogue the myriad little bugs. But I canât believe that to be true based on previous evidence.
Suunto Spartan Trainer Wrist HR / 9PP Refurb

@The_77 I canât remember the details atm, but I am quite sure there was a bug fix for watches that didnât receive any regular updates anymore. I think it was related to security.

This is just wrong. One example is Spartan Ultra receiving bug fix 2.8.32 long time after active development had stoppedâŚ
