@nickk agree. Same here. I tested coros apex pro for a few and ohr was better than the s9b but worse than the s3 and worse of course than the s9P.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I always use a strap for hiking. On my hike today, the altitude measurement was almost perfect. The S9P was only 2m higher at prominent points with official altitude information.

Just tried a first short and easy swim. I have the impression that the GPS is considerably better than my SSU. Total distance is quite spot on. Heart rate is still erratic.

Hiking today, will post a comparison against Polar OH1 if I can!

So first day in the French Alps, I think the Peak’s OHR is working very well for me. Here it’s against a Polar OH1 paired to the baro.

Hiking, no poles.

@isazi looks good. On the next hike I will test it with the hiking poles and see if it works that well.

Hey, where are you near in the French Alps?

isazi

@mff73 spending a week mountaineering in the Écrins!

@isazi
Enjoy, nice and perfect massif for this.

@isazi nice place to hike or trail
Less than 2 hours from my house but i don’t know there very well

@isazi How do make this comparison?

isazi

@wakarimasen quantified-self.io 🤟

@isazi I’m a user - just not sure about how to go about making the comparison

isazi

@wakarimasen record the activity with two or more watches, sync them to QS, then select and merge activities

@isazi Great stuff - thanks!

just a short comparison an my run today

S9P (violet) is also very good. the Vertix (blue) is a bit smoother and gets some curves a bit better, but this is only in detail.

Here is a tricky part because high rocks surround the steep path (UIAA 1). Coros smoothes it a bit more so it looks a bit better. Therefore the upper violet track is a bit off track but blue makes that “step backwards” below the upper right rock.

I don’t think in this detail you cannot say that anyone is better or worse than the other. Both do a very good job.

S9P is above. I would say that S9P got the elevation better today. Average over all my runs up to this summit is 997m.

But again the “zero-values/dropped values” on the S9P. Why is this?

Battery drain:
S9P 11%
Vertix 6%

I don’t test oHR as there is no watch that can measure it correctly on my wrist (only on a steady run with little HR-changes). But hiking, intervals, trailrunning especially with poles… no chance for me to get plausible oHR values.

Good job Suunto

@theo-lakerveld woah - that’s a HTFU effort. How often you doing 60 min straight at threshold?

Used mine for a couple of days and so far it’s performed impressively better than my 9 baro. Wrist hr is finally accurate (first suunto for me to do this) and ths GPS is very impressive. A worthy successor. I’ll post more once I get more runs in.

Pretty impressed also with the new OHR of the Peak !
Here under compared with a Wahoo HR strap during a gravel ride. Still some small bug but for the majority of the ride that was spot on !

GPS track is also very consistent. Only 0.3km difference for a 50k ride.

@v-sacre
I add also I first good impression for the OHR , I wanted to record the activity with my polar H10 HRM unpaired but forgot to activate recording on polar App.

Tomorrow I will record with my trusted HRM to study more thoroughly this small peak

I also tried snap to route feature although this is not specific to S9P but to firmware. It plots very satisfying tracks

This is a very good feature for regular pacing , now I can really trust the displayed pace during a workout

Just at the end you have to stop the activity at the end of your route . If not, the gps recording continues but not distance which remains blocked at the route length !!

Also if you have a foot pod the distance displayed on the watch may be different at the end as it is specific to calibration.
