Suunto 9 Peak

Bulkan

@_marcus_ Billat would say… 30/30 or even 2m/2m. I’ve done that workout with no problem at all. 30/15 plus 2:45 recovery is achievable right now.

My Previosly posted workout was almost exactly that:

Does anybody have any wild guesses on how long will it be before we have the S9 successor? basically need to decide if buying peak now it’s the smartest choice (coming from S9B )

thx

@herlas That’s Suunto’s little secret I’m afraid.

@herlas
it’s the same for everything: you buy something new and 2 days later you’ll see the presentation of the successor. Some companies have release patterns.
My wild guess is: Suunto just did release a very nice evolution of S9 with the peak. They have taken a lot of our feedbacks into this design and I celebrate this fact It might well take some time before they’ll release the next flagship. I bet they’ll first release other further developed watches first. Maybe for the low budgets or maybe for the smart segment.

How others said everything now is our speculation.
My speculation was that suunto released the s9p , specially in pre order to test the acceptance of the market for the size (before most suuntos were big), design and features.
And also they implement some if not most features of s9p on S9B via firmware.
And by that they will then have customers feedback on how that is enough or they need to tell release an update S9B (similar design to s9p?better lhe, etc etc)
If an updated S9B comes I think it won’t be now.
But that is just my guess.
Also I think the S9P “alerted” to the fact that in watch , sometimes the features on the paper are not the most important, but also the confort, readibility of the screen, etc

@andré-faria
just thinking out loud: when Suunto checks for the acceptance of the new design and size, maybe they could also consider doing what most smartphone manufacturers do: create a “plus” model. S9P with 43mm and S9P+ with 50mm
I think it’s important in that case that Suunto does clearly highlights the use case and not like historical watch makers promote the smaller watch as the ladies version

It is needed that they have resources for that

I’m skilled in Creo, I can assist

herlas

so be honest guys, how many of you pre-ordered from Mexico store? LOL pre-order button is not available right now, dang!!!

Adam_Warburton

@herlas an S9B or S9P with the missing back and view toggle buttons like the A3 had. The option for a light theme in watch mode and ability to lock the screen also when in watch mode and I’d buy without a moments hesitation.

DMytro

@adam_warburton a light theme is there.

@_marcus_ no I dont think adding some guide for such a workout would be so bad.

yes i agree it would be very easy to add an UI in SA and then send the steps to the watch. Then even a complex workout is basically a set of intervals with objectives . I do not understand why Suunto is stucked with training every new player can add workout or sync with Trainingpeaks

freeheeler

@chrisc92
Suunto does already collaborate with Trainingspeaks… maybe, and that’s just my very personal guess (!), structured workouts might come eventually.
Suunto has managed to surprise me some times

@chrisc92
It has been said some times ago that it should come through S+ feature and TrainingPeaks partnership.
One is there, the other might come (or not, no insight from my side )

Adam_Warburton

@дима-мельниченко true, the Peak has it but the Baro not so much. Hopefully in June maybe. Oh structured workouts as implemented on garmin would be grand as well

chrisc92

@adam_warburton I hope not only a TP partnership, but also SA. For bike I had to buy an “edge” competitor’s device because it’s not possible to have serious interval training with a suunto watch and manipulate LAP buttons on a bike, particularly with short sprint reps . For structured workouts I plan also to buy an additionnal used “forerunner” device because it’s becoming a boring job. Just grab a workout from TP or your own library, and then go out run and bips. If you own a pod, pace and distances on track are accurate.

Any info if there will be S9P 50mm?
