Suunto 9 Peak All Black Sainless Steel quality

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

Stainless steel, Glass fiber reinforced polyamide is on the back. The back you see is stainless steel.

@ricardo-marinheira like @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos says, it’s a mixture and feels extremely durable. Made a quick picture.

I had many sportswatches in my hands and the S9P is surely on of the ones with the highest built quality

That light gray area around the sensors is made of what material in particular?

ChrisA

@ricardo-marinheira I can’t tell you exactly, looks like some kind of plastic, but it’s very hard

Ricardo Marinheira

@chrisa Any visible damages on it, like scratches or dents from attaching the watch to the charger?

@ricardo-marinheira The back is mainly facing your wrist and if you take it off, just let it rest on the strap. It won’t scratch.

With all respect, I do get your concerns but I think if you want to keep your watch in mint condition you have to keep it in the box. Watches are meant to be used and occasionaly they will get a hit. As many already told, it is a very sturdy watch, but it is not bulletproof.

@ricardo-marinheira I didn’t use Suunto’s strap a lot as my preference is nylon loop bands, which also make the watch considerably lighter.

@ricardo-marinheira it’s almost like new. Like I said, the S9 Series is among the best built sports watches out there.

S9P All Black ordered. It wil lbe delivered Tuesday.
One last doubt I hope I can clarify with you guys: between the sapphire crystal on the watch face and the stainless steel bezel is there any plastic buffer, or the saphhire crystal is directly in contact with the stainless steel bezel?
From the photos and reviews I’ve seen, regarding the All Black model I can’t really tell, but in the Titanium/Stainles Steel gray versions it seems to have a black plastic ring between the sapphire cristal and the bezel.

@ricardo-marinheira I don’t possess one, but I think there is a plastic ring. It’s for shock absorption, phones have that too.

ChrisA

@ricardo-marinheira yes there is :

Can’t tell the material but seems to be some kind of plastic. And there’s a little space between this ring and the glass, in which little particles love to stick

Ricardo Marinheira

Do any of you guys manage to track a gym session with it?
I guess it is not that practical anytime you move from one exercise to another, to have to select exercise, choose time(/or other parameters, and so on.
Is there any easier way of doing it?

isazi

@ricardo-marinheira I record the full session, and use laps for different exercises or repetitions.

surfboomerang

@ricardo-marinheira A multi-sport activity?
Press and hold the upper right button during an exercise and select another sport mode.

Ricardo Marinheira

@isazi Can you elaborate a bit more? Total newb here.

StefanoMorgan

@surfboomerang but in the app it only showed multisport for the whole activity and not the selected sport type’s. So that’s not really helpfull at the end…

How many days took your order to be shipped by Suunto?
I’ve ordered my Suunto 9 Peak All Black Thursday evening, and after chatting a few minutes ago with Suunto, it is not certain it is shipped today.
Simply can’t understand, by today’s standards, why do they take 2 whole days (or more) to ship an online purchase.
It’s a complete absurd!

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@ricardo-marinheira a friend in Gr got it tuesday from ordering in thrusday.

There is high demand on the product atm

Ricardo Marinheira

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos That might have impact in the stocks, but given the fact the watch is in stock for quite some time, it’s hardly undersantdable to have to wait 2 whole days (or more) to get a watch shipped.
It happened a couple of years ago, when e-commerce was on its first days.
By today’s standard it’s not that usual.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@ricardo-marinheira you ordered from Suunto.com ? What country ?
