S9P review from a non-target audience

@jsuarez said in S9P review from a non-target audience:
True. But also shows Suunto’s disdain for a web frontend solution after 3+ years from the beginning of the transition.
I did the same complain as yours. And I still request a web fronted.
After seeing their improvements, I know they are working on a lot of requests, but maybe not with the priority that you think about.
I love to see a web interface, but some of my friends are not thinking in my way, for them(sport amateurs), a beautiful APP is a most-have, a web-interface is not.
Suunto Dev is a human powered team, they do have some bandwidth limits, (as your wallet has some limits as well) some requests could seduce more customers than a web interface.
I bought S9P (actually all flagships since Ambit3PEAK), just want support Suunto Dev to finish more requests, so maybe one day a web interface will come true.

Thanks for this review.
Curious the tittle. I am curious what is the target audience of the S9P, and who are the buyers, and if they match

That’s a great perspective, and no, I don’t work for Suunto!

I don’t get you, do I work for Suunto?

Nope: genuinely thought it was a good way of thinking. Just wanted to point out that I don’t work for Suunto, as I had agreed with you!

web interface?! crazy idea… could attract more customers!
-
@freeheeler I think there’s plenty for suunto to implement apart from web interface. And I imagine it was given up for this exact reason. It’s difficult to sustain both web and app at the same time.
-
@dmytro i would prefer a bad app in combination with a neat website/ web app like Garmin Connect
-
@theguyfromthesummit that is what we had and that is where suunto thinks different. I actually never gotten to use movescount so it’s hard for me to justify the need for desktop app. With widows 11 around the corner one should be able to open android apps on desktop anyway. If suunto would be kind enough to consider landscape mode or something similar, it would be a great workaround in my opinion.
-
Let’s try to not derail the conversation to the web interface. The decision from Suunto is pretty clear and the topic had been locked already.
-
@dmytro or let us wait for a discount on a fenix.

2 what? 2 pe(nn)ies?

I didn’t make any complaints since this topic, I’d say S9P is nicely done.

The GPS quality has been dropped since 2 months,
It comes my concern with s9b as well, the GPS quality drops after a period of use.
-
@zhang965 if this was really the case and is not just perception, then there is absolutely no technical reason for the watch being the reason for this.
GPS quality can depend to the GPS system settings, weather, season, solar activity, and so many other things…t6, S6, Elementum Terra, Ambit 3 Sapphire, Spartan Ultra Copper, Traverse Alpha, S7 Graphite LE, S9B Ambassador, S9P Granite Blue Titanium, S9PP Titanium Sand, Vertical All Black, Race Titanium Charcoal,
Race S All Black - TI Canary - Titanium Courtney -
@egika It depends on what @zhang965 means with “GPS quality drops”.
I agree that there are so many variables, but the watch can be one of them because it receives firmware updates. So if algorithms change during the lifetime of the watch it can be that the watch behaves different (better or worse). This can be interpreted as GPS deterioration.
-
@surfboomerang there has been no GPS firmware update for the S9P since it was released, though.
