Difference between S9 baro black and titanium
-
@Stefan-Kersting Likewise, good motto, had to look this one up.
-
@Brad_Olwin have a A3P, too and did a run with both watches a week ago. You can feel the difference
-
Eye of the beholder … and in simple practicality …
Moving on from military black and more eye-gouging colors, the minimalism of this appeals to me:
I especially like the way the titanium bezel’s 12&6 notches, raised slightly above sapphire level, provide a usably precise sighting tool for bearing navigation.
-
@Fenr1r I really like the look of the SSU, loved mine and if I did not need the battery of the S9 I might still have mine.
-
@Brad_Olwin Your problem is that you need to bring home (or to phone) too much data, sir. All that biometric stuff … Had you been satisfied with only a GPS fix every half hour or so, you’d still have been happily sorted for days of outdoor funventure.
-
Love my SSU, too. I think the design is even better than the s9, but unfortunately there are no updates and there some functions the s9 has that I think are quiet interesting.
-
@Fenr1r Sometimes I miss those days of simply running with my T6c and a footpod…
-
@cosmecosta gorgeous looking watch. But the price ouch … WHy isn’t this Titanium bezel available on the Suunto 9 customization tool ??
-

@Brad_Olwin Interesting … I see this on the US site from the outside:
Titanium only on the older, bulging cardinal bezel.
-
@Brad_Olwin What deal dit the Americans made with Finland?
I was just curious about the configuratior and I noticed that the Suunto 9 Baro black would cost €619 when I select The Netherlands as country for the site. When I switched to US, I notitced the same configuration costs $433. At this exchange rate it translates to €368 !?!?

@surfboomerang
yes that does not make sense when I did understand the international trade news in the past couple of years correct… -
@surfboomerang It is on sale, the retail price is similar to yours. Is is it on sale as well in the Netherlands?
-
@Brad_Olwin Not according to the configurator.
On the “normal” webshop it is, but the price difference is still huge.
Suunto 9 baro black:
NL:€599€499
US:$599$359 (€305) -
@surfboomerang does US price include tax?
-
@dulko79 Good one! You were right. US price is without taxes.That makes the gap a little smaller:
Suunto 9 baro black:
NL: €599 €499 (€403 without taxes)
US: $599 $359 (€305 without taxes) -
@surfboomerang That is still a big gap!
-
Sorry to hijack this thread.
On the “normal” titanium versions (titanium, ambassador) is the bezel painted?
I saw some pictures and videos and it seems black.
Does it scratch easily?
I find the titanium leather very nice, but…regarding asthetics doesn’t seem to be much difference compared to 9 black. -
@André-Faria It does not scratch easily, bought mine when customization was first offered. Lots of miles/time and looks great.
