Upgrade from "9 Baro Titanium" to "9 Peak"
-
@matthias220841 nothing too good to be true, the OHR of the peak is the best I’ve used so far. It was actually better than the Polar OH1 in few occasions in my tests.
-
@surfboomerang thank you for your reply!
I also have the S9B, and the OHR is for the garbage bin. If the good OHR sensor results on the S9P are firm, it would be a reason for me to upgrade…
-
@matthias220841 Keep in mind that OHR accuracy can vary for people. Place on the wrist, skin type, tattoos etc can influence the result.
Your mileage may vary
-
@chrisc92 The screen on the S9B is also Sapphire Crystal
-
@surfboomerang oh true yes, I just sold my S9B I had minor paint scratches on the bezel but the scratches stopped at the sapphire glass
-
@matthias220841 i looked at the video carefully which confirms good results in run activity but Not in bike (indoor and outdoor)
for my bike rides I have no such good results I think there is some tuning and filters to apply into the firmware but the lifeQ sensor has proven his ability to report accurate HR measures.
-
@chrisc92 for bike I have better results not wearing it like for running, i.e. lower on the wrist and not as tight.
-
Hi @chrisc92, thank you for the info! Very valuable (I am mostly running).
Cheers

@chrisc92 I got 9 Peak Ti last Friday.
Today I accidentally scrubbed the nightstand (made of plastic) and the titanium ring got scratched a lot (see photo). I’m very disappointed
I can’t imagine what will happen when I’ll bring it with me doing climbing
-
@becco981 don’t do that!! It’s a lesson every tech inclined climber learns the quickest - watch and climbing don’t do well together. Just attach it to your harness, ideally in some cloth pouch to protect from dust and chalk, and use an HR belt.
-
@дима-мельниченко yes, of course I avoid climbing wearing the watch but it happened with the S9 Baro Ti that it crashed on the rocks without any damage, both on the titanium ring and on the sapphire glass.
The 9 Peak has been scratched by a light scrub on a plastic surface! -
@becco981 I looked up hardness of Titanium and it’s supposed to be a relatively soft metall. But it’s often improved by applying a coating. Was your previous watch a coated version or not?
Btw steel is more scratch resistant that titanium, but you’ll have to pay with extra weight for that. -
@дима-мельниченко the old 9 Baro Ti was black, I don’t know if it was a covering. Thanks for information about titanium, it makes sense. I’m just negatively surprised that at the first “incident” a 700€ watch got damaged.
-
You can even damage a Rolex that’s much more expensive
-
@becco981 black is not “natural” color of titanium, so our investigation has reached its end.
Now “built as tough as you” moto for the s9 series sounds funny XD -
This post is deleted! -
@becco981 we had issues with some units having already scratches. Are you sure you scratched it so easily ?
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos yes. Absolutely. Just rubbed on a plastic surface moving my arm while I was getting out of my bed. Nothing more.
-
@becco981 I’d give it a try with support. This does not look normal to me, but others can say also.

HOHOHO, I hope you can get us an official answer, (because I’m buying a S9P now)
