On the far right of that pic it does not have those small circular holes

@ianpet
So it’s a non baro S9, not a 1st gen (1st version sold)

[ianpet]

It says gen 1 black

@ianpet
@sartoric has very good knowledge about Suunto, but I honestly have not heard of a second generation S9… maybe sartoric can explain?

[ianpet]

If ye look up the model number I sent u will c the one I have ow183

Maybe post a picture of your watch?

[Egika]

What’s the point left here?
Poster has a non baro version. He cannot find pressure or altitude information in the watch.
That’s pretty much it.

@Egika I’m afraid you’re right. I clearly have the text Baro on the back of my watch so if OP is missing the holes and the text… No barometer.

[ianpet]

Tanxs all for yer help that’s cleared that up

[freeheeler]

@ianpet
it’s not only a disadvantage to have no baro… ascent values might be a bit off, but you also don’t have the risk that you cover the sensor and the ascent values get even more off

[ianpet]

Even if I was out tracking with God on wud I get any of these feature like altitude

@ianpet
hmm I didn’t understand this… but alti readings are there anyway, aren’t they? just from gps instead of baro

The very first S9 version sold was a baro version, even if the name was just “S9”
Than, after some months the “Non Baro” came out

That’s what I meant for 1st gen , but in fact it’s more “1st version” as it looks like GEN1 is printed on all the models

differences :
