Suunto 9 Peak (review and specs)
-
@brad_olwin It all then depends on how precise we want it to be (I agree it may not be that important).
Regarding the “degraded” GPS modes, from what we read, the Fusedtrack Suunto is really much more precise than the degraded mode of Garmin (I forgot its name). This is the strength of Suunto.
But for my part until now, on my S9, I prefer to use the 1s mode and reload during my race (as I said above the experience in fusedtrack not having convinced me).To return to the Peak (or the next Suunto), an autonomy of 30-35 h in 1s mode would be ideal for me

@fazel Interestingly enough, anaerobic load per Garmin/Firstbeat isn’t necessarily what many people think it is, i.e. it’s not necessarily working at or above one’s LTHR.
Another interesting aspect is how Garmin/Firstbeat determine what comprises high vs load aerobic load seeing only LTHR can be tracked in Garmin.
Last but not least, the recommended mix of activities is proprietary but is tied to an individual. For example, they did bring down anaerobic requirement somewhat and increased low aerobic requirement for me after a month or so, as my fitness kept improving and training load went up. That is, the watch seems to be learning from your intensity distribution preferences and adjusts recommended ranges.

Not trying to convince you the Peak is the right watch for you, maybe it is not, but I often get estimate battery life of 30/31 hours with GPS and optical heart rate enabled with the peak. I think Suunto is being honest saying 25 (I think in the default configuration they use Glonass) but more juice can be extracted from the Peak.

@isazi 25h with GPS 1s and OHR ?
Great news
(at least for me), enough for my trails -

I concur with @isazi, I am getting estimates of 30 to 31h but that has yet to be tested in a long event…I have one coming up starting on Sunday this week. Stay tuned.

Great overview of Peak + nice photos by Suunto tester Saketa Nemo. Link was posted on Facebook Run4IQ: SUUNTO talks by Andrew Nugged.

@isazi 30 hours with OHR ! Interesting.
and without? or with an HRM belt or optical armband with bluetooth? -

and without? or with an HRM belt or optical armband with bluetooth?More or less 28/29 hours with external heart rate monitor. Have never tried with no HR at all.

Does anyone know when the pre-orders open up?

For France they are open. Shipping on 17th of June.

@andré-faria Same goes for The Netherlands
-
@andrejsg If you are asking about US and Canada, my guess is after the Memorial Day weekend. On one hand, there’s a big sale going on on existing models. On the other, Suunto probably wants to give the rest of the world an opportunity to pre-order theirs before people like myself lay claim to the entirety of the first few production batches…
-
@nickk Yeah I guess it makes sense for it to go live after memorial day. Here’s what I’m seeing:
-
@andrejsg We are seeing exact same thing
So, the reality is… real. Hopefully, that nice pre-order button is finally shown in coming days.Also, I remember Suunto 7 could also be pre-ordered on Amazon, if it helps.
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos What are the correct Measurements? The description says 43 x 43 x 10.6 mm but from the picture the thickness should be 13 mm link text.
-
@nickk just pre-ordered mine yesterday
-
@wotus I am not sure
-
@wotus According to The5kRunner review, it seems to depend on whether the OHR sensor is included or not.
