Suunto 9 Peak
-
@jsuarez interesting to hear. As my opinion is the exact contrary. I don’t like manufcturer proprietary solutions that keep me tied to their ecosystem.
I never installed the software bundle that came with printers and allowed for picture editing, scanning etc. I’ve always preferred the independent software that would work also with my next printer from maybe another company.Same holds true for sport watches. If I changed brands I’d like to keep my data and just use the new hardware to record activities into the same platform of my choice.
QS and Strava and Trainingpeaks and all others are this kind of independent platforms that I choose according to my needs. And then every device I use just needs to be compatible.But that’s just my preference.

Regarding snappiness of the peak, it is my impression or sometimes it renders laggy?

I want Suunto heat maps on a big 5K monitor. It is very simple to do, make SA available for Apple Silicon, just opt in like many other app developers.
No other third party can come close to it. I have premium subscription for Komoot, TP, planaroute. They don’t compare with Suunto heat map visualization. -

I can’t access the story, but as you can imagine there is no “production” firmware for the S9p yet. Should come at the same time the product begins shipping.

@andré-faria there is one short chinese review of peak on youtube-u. For a short period he browsed through menus, browsing was smooth. Software version is not clear.

Even when scrolling pass HR screen? (haven’t seen the video) The slowdown at this screen is killing me. I hope they did something to speed it up or to let us disable it or move this screen to the last place or something…

@prenj I think he browsed thru sports in exercise menu. Anyway, when people get and test watch with final software, performance will be more clear.

Story is not there anymore.
Thanks for clearing up. As the shipping is on 17th of june I would believe the firmware is already from prod. -
Have any of the testers present on the forum tried S9P with bigger winter gloves? During skiing or mountaineering? I’m interested did any of you had any problems with smaller watch and smaller buttons? Tnx

@andré-faria Read @isazi post, it is correct.

Yes, I have used the Peak extensively for SkiMo with heavy gloves. The buttons are more difficult to press than the S9. But having said that, I had issues using the same gloves with the S9, I could often hit the wrong button and pause the watch. With lighter gloves or liners the buttons can easily be pressed. I did not find it as much a problem as I thought it would be.
Smaller watch? No, in fact, the ambient backlight on the S9 Peak makes Winter use much easier as I do not have to fiddle with backlight settings to see in predawn starts. Also, the higher contrast makes the watch easier to see even though smaller. When wearing both my S9 baro and the Peak I wore the Peak on my left hand (normal for my watch wearing) because it was the screen I wanted to use the most.

Okay let me clarify that properly. The device will arrive with a production firmware, but there will be another “real production” firmware already available when watches start arriving at people’s homes. After pairing the watch with the app it will download this firmware, that will have all functions announced in June.
-
@brad_olwin Thanks! S9B was fine for gloves that I have, I hope S9P will be fine. I expect it will be harder to press or find buttons under multiple layers and similar.
-
@brad_olwin How do you compare vibration strength between Peak and Baro?
I can barely feel it on Baro when running, no pun intended
-
@nickk I think I answered this on another post, I agree with you on S9b, I miss the vibration all the time. For me the Peak may be a bit better but it is not strong enough. Others may have different opinions.

What is the memory-size for logbook, POI and routes?

Hi,
Quick question, is this watchface available in S9P?
-
@suzzlo yes
