1 week on, bugs i found.

thanks @NickK for the LED kick in timing. I now have a better understanding of how this works.

@surfboomerang thanks, I’ve went thru the link, its for Suunto 9 baro i suppose and have an additional “Display in full-color mode”, Brightness %, vibration, bluetooth.
S9P dont have a feature to turn off sound in this menu.

For the passed few days, I’ve played with the top button before i start my activity. Yes, it toggles to a different mode and the amount of battery % indicates which mode I’m currently using.

similarly to @sky-runner , after pressing the top button, I was immediately asked to calibrate my compass. I assume my compass was calibrated once before, and the watch should not ask me again.

yes, I have color blind and I do have difficulty looking at the color. I need to look at the screen for a longer time to determine the color.
I come from a garmin watch background and the green is fuller.

The battery mode that I’m currently using is custom with “Best GPS”, so I notice its blue color at the “Start” button.

@lamp21 I have reported this issue with the battery modes and as @sky-runner said , I do think that’s not good UX

In my experience using S9B compass calibration is lost every time when magnetic charger is attached. I don’t know if that is the same with S9P, but based on your experience S9P may have the same issue.

@sky-runner yes same with S9P.

I encounter intermittent charging since the first time I got my watch. but I thought its a small issue and did not take notice.

what happened:

plugged the dongle to my watch to charge. from 18%. takes a few second but not immediately. watch beeps watch is “charging”

after a few minutes. the watch notifies me, “are you going for a training soon? please remember to charge your watch” at 20+%
charging stops.

few seconds later, watch beeps. watch shows “charging” message. and this repeats.

at 60% right now, i saw this thread, to switch off the watch and try to charge again.
https://forum.suunto.com/topic/6866/s9p-did-not-charge-anymore-reboot-helped/11

this did not help. from 60% to 61% charging stops. watch beeps, “charging”

61% to 62% repeat cycle.
62% to 67%. charging stops. watch beeps. “charging”
67% to 69% charging stops. watch beeps. “charging”
69% to 71% charging stops. watch beeps. “charging”
71% to 73% charging stops. watch beeps. “charging”
73% to 76% charging stops. watch beeps. “charging”

the cycle stops.
I realise when the battery is reaching towards 100%, I dont have anymore beeps. and I’m now with 100% battery as i type.

is my dongle having issue? I dont have a friend with a same watch to test this.

I understand that this watch takes about 1 hour to charge fully. but during 1 hour, so many stops and beeps happen at the same time. probably about 10 over beeps if I really notice it.

@lamp21 interesting. Just happened now?

@lamp21
This looks like a connection/disconnection issue
Maybe it’s due to the cable or the dongle or the pc (is it a pc right ? ) sometimes related to some stand-by feature

you should try a different cable, than maybe a different source (another pc, ac brick)

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

This is a cable magnet issue. I have that with some old cable.

I would ask for a cable replacement support.

lamp21

@isazi nope, since day 1. just that I thought it not a concern. but realised it is after 2 months of use. I got this watch from Amazon, will check out how the replacement works.

update
After sending my watch + cable for servicing at my local service centre, I received a new cable.

I had this issue once again, charging stop and charge. Happened 2 times on my charge when I got my watch back. start charging from 20% to 100%.

1 week later after draining, I charge my watch and it did happen 1 time on my charge, from 40% to 91%.

I will continue to monitor this.
