Suunto 9 Peak (review and specs)

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@suzzlo

-10meters (my house altitude in NL)

1 meter = 1 μέτρο.

Μετρό = meter and I think that’s the root of word (probably coming from ancient Greek)

Fun fact.

Taxi = taximeter = ταχύμετρο = to meter the speed

@theo-lakerveld said in Suunto 9 Peak (review and specs):

@brad_olwin please push me in the right direction. I’m especially looking for open water swim tracks as that is where my SSU is fooling me.

Dcrainmaker posted today on Instagram that he is testing the s9p vs 945 let on open water swim, may worth to check if you are interested

@andré-faria Ray’s in-depth review of the Peak is not out yet though.

Theo Lakerveld

@andré-faria yes, I’m aware that he’s comparing them. That’s a nice starter. The 5k runner also did a brief swim test in his review with good results. I’m looking forward to the indepth from Ray.

Taxi = taximeter = ταχύμετρο = to meter the speed

From which comes a Russian derivation тахометр… Meaning exact same thing and sporting some letters surely familiar to your Greek side. Curious how languages evolve.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos casi todas las cosas vienen de vosotros (los Griegos)!!!

suzzlo

@suzzlo Upppssssss writen in Spanish. Sorry

“almost all things come from you (the Greeks)!!!”

Frederick Rochette

Is it planned to have the possibility to do a HRV test with the watch?

suzzlo

@frederick-rochette do you mean something like Polar’s orthostatic test?
I cannot remember to see in the forum as a Feature Suggestion, but seems to be a good idea. Can you elaborate a bit more?

suzzlo

Since my Spartan can do it, I think this is an error, but just to be sure. Can S9P record HR in swimming (pool/open) using wrist sensor?

surfboomerang

@suzzlo My S9B can do it too.

isazi

@suzzlo yes it can, I have seen results of OHR in OWS.

pavel.samokha

@suzzlo Yes, it can, misleading info on the site

sartoric

So people cannot complain if the watch is loose and it’s not working properly

Frederick Rochette

@suzzlo the goal would be to be able to run an easy-my-HRV test with the watch every morning and that it be compiled in a graph on the SA (ideal) application or/and in a type HRV4Training or other app via a partnership.
the idea is to have a better idea of our physical form, avoid overtraining and adapt our training sessions.

@frederick-rochette The Ambit had a recovery feature. I have asked Suunto for this and I know others have. It would be nice to see something implemented. However, one might say Resources is a good framework to estimate recovery. For me, my morning resources and Avg sleep HR are a good indicator of how a hard workout will go.

@theo-lakerveld I did an S9P OWS test against F6S Pro.

@pavel-samokha Keep using Garmin - it makes you use only half the energy for the same workout

(plus they got the unit wrong - so better stay with Suunto )

Theo Lakerveld

@pavel-samokha That looks promissing, no zig-zag profile! Did you crawl (free style) or did you swim breast stroke? I suppose crawl is less challenging due to the watch not bing submerged all the time. How do you percieve the accuraccy compared with the Garmin?

pavel.samokha

@egika Nah, it took me a couple of hours just to pair the F6SP. Even though I used to be a Garmin user. It failed and failed and failed until I got the cable and good old Garmin Express. And UI is … complex. But ofc I’m biased.

@Theo-Lakerveld front crawl, no watch can handle breaststroke well due to how GPS works. I wrote my experience here https://forum.suunto.com/post/87196 Results matching quite well, I guess this is due to the fact as Dimi mentioned that they use similar GPS chip from Sony
