S9/S9B/S9P & Temp POD
-
I do most of my mountaineering & bivouacking in the winter time, so i need to know what’s the outside temp in real time without taking the watch from my wrist & waiting a fiew min for the resoults (especially when it’s too cold -15°C & under). Taking the glowe off in that kind of cold is a pain in the A… Where can i get a temp POD? Didn’t see any on Suunto site… I know that Garmin has one…

@mountaineerx don’t think it is supported. There are some that collect data and you can see temperature on your phone in real time or after the event.

@isazi Most of the time the phone stays in the back
pocket somewere under the fifth layer
️ It would be a nice addition for Suunto to have one Mini, Micro or Nano Pod

This is something I’ve wanted ever since the first Ambit came out, and wouldn’t talk to Garmin’s ANT+ Tempe sensor.
Over the years of using a Tempe, though, they have their limitations: when direct sunlight falls on them, they run into issues with absurdly high data. I tried painting one silver once to see if it would improve things, sadly not! On the whole, though, they’re decent, as is the data they provide, and additionally they have a log of the high and the low for the last 24h, which I like when I’m camping (can be retrieved from a widget, ie not during a sport mode). It’s not logged anywhere, but it helps with adjusting insulation choices.
I do question the benefit of showing temperature data on a device that doesn’t have an external sensor: unless the instrument is worn outside of a jacket, or something to keep it away from body heat, that data is contaminated.
Mostly off-topic, but if you want some fun with temperature recording, have a look at https://corebodytemp.com. It’s a device that records skin and core body temperature, and is capable of recording HR too. A harder workout seems to push my core temp up by as much as 1.5C, and a fast descent, even a short one, is enough to show a big drop in skin temperature.

@ze-stuart yeah, I had my Tempe measure temperatures above 50 degrees just because it’s black and gets super warm when in the sun.

@ze-stuart I agree with the issues with temperature when you wear the watch. Something also present in previous generations. I ended up adjusting the temperature. I found out that in normal situations, my Ambit 3 Peak offered around 7/9 degrees over real temperature if the watch was not covered by long sleeve. It is not perfect, of course, but a was very close according to my observations.
