I'm I the only who believes Suunto 9 is more of a SIDEGRADE than UPGRADE to Ambit 3 peak?

I´ve been so close to buy and Ambit 3 because the apps… I’ve reading and playing with the simulator…
Drills when I’m swimming are missed… yes and nobody’s swim here… or what?
This being said, today exploring a new zone, created a route in the suunto app, transferred to my watch (dreaming about the POI but knowing that are coming), the navigation was perfect, ETA… When I’m traveling I don’t carry the laptop… so it is very easy to use.
The UI of the Suunto 9 is very clean, the screen is gorgeous.
I hope one day we could have, even vía partners, synced plans of training and structured workouts.
But I agree with the statement “Ambit is over, Suunto 9 is the present and rocks”I swim, and the absence of “drill mode” is unacceptable.

@zhang965 Seems like most of you do not run ultras. FusedTrack is the most amazing feature since having GPS track runs!!! It does not matter if I use Performance, Endurance or Ultra mode. I don’t have to charge my watch ever during a race and it will last for the longest single event I may attempt (70h) or 3day fastpacks! Plus, the watch is easy to use and I like the UI, my zones for HR or Power allow me not to put those fields on the screen.
#2 and this is a biggie. Do you forget that in navigation the ambit went as the bird flies??? The S9 has the distance based on the route, another major deal.
All the others that we get with SA! Immediate route drawing and transfer from the phone. Offline sync.
This is a really old one lol
Do you use hiking sport mode + endurance for the fast packing trips? Or do you consider that a trail run. I’m sure it’s been answered before just not sure on the GPS behavior between hiking and running sport modes for the alternative GPS settings.

I typically use a Trail Run mode, as I will be doing jogging when on trails with FastPack trips. I am often off trail as well but moving as quickly as possible (can be considered very slow 30 min/mile or worse) but I view these as similar to Ultras so “Trail Run” mode. I do not go on trips with a heavy pack where I cannot jog unless an overnight SkiMo, which is neither a run or hike.
I do use Hiking modes but those are for hikes only with friends or family where there is no running involved.

Awesome, thank you
