9PP Appreciation in 2026 / Things to fix before it's orphaned
-
@2b2bff you perfectly right! I’ve 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 it’s 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 (I’m 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)

I’ve 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 it’s 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 knows…
-
@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 “everyone has their time offset” 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 can’t believe that to be true based on previous evidence.

@The_77 I can’t remember the details atm, but I am quite sure there was a bug fix for watches that didn’t 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 stopped…

I guess the question is what would Suunto consider a bug? Like @the_77 mentioned we could probably make a pretty long list of things that don’t quite work as expected. But I’m guessing the nit-picky things won’t ever be addressed.
What about some of the big picture things, though, like the clearly broken activity navigation screen (touch doesn’t work, can’t scroll back to previous data screen, old/ineffective zoom function) or the constant phantom notifications? I would qualify these as bugs, but does Suunto?
-
@Egika this was exactly the bug I referred to in my post.
Anyway my point is that there is a difference between fixing watch breaking busy and niggles, so it would be good to know what to expect…
