Pros/Cons of Suunto 9 BARO * ONLY * be fair and polite!

@TELE-HO
This is exactly what is missing in the new watch line from Suunto: Choices.Different people, different sports, different needs.
Everyone has its own set of datafields and setting for their sports. The only thing Suunto has to do is to give me the choice of selecting a certain settings and data field so I can combine them to a setup that is useful to me. Another person could have a whole other setup for the same sport because it is useful to him. -
@TELE-HO I try to not get my hands under the water when paddling
-
@TELE-HO BTW those almost instantaneous 10 meters drops (or raises) are strange. And I just mean strange to be happening in the real world on a lake
-
@isazi
my assumption is that the sensor measures pressure change and FusedAlti says: no not possible and tries to correct itā¦ but Iām not sure if FusedAlti is reacting that quick?Iām 100% with @surfboomerang the watch must be more customizableā¦ also a gym workout with ascent is not really what I want to seeā¦ yes I do jump lungesā¦ but not that highā¦
-
@TELE-HO for the gym workout, just make your own activity and remove all the fields related to speed and movement. Itāll work.
-
@isazi
you mean custom activity?
I donāt record gym workouts frequentlyā¦ on Sunday I didā¦ but more because of testing the OHR once again.Letās hope Suunto gives us more customization on the sport modes. I donāt go paddling in the lake so oftenā¦ and for surfing (letās call it surfing when I try to catch some green and immediately end up in the washingmachine ) I never use my watch. It is a minor issue for meā¦ but I donāt know how swimmers handle this? Do they get the result:
1ā000m distance swim while 500m swim-ascent? -
@TELE-HO yeah meant custom activity. Would be really nice being able to customize also default activities, but custom activities are already a very good workaround (theyāre more than a workaround, but a workaround for this specific issue).
-
@isazi
this means for synced 3rd parties that I need to change the activity there manually?
I think Iāll give this a try, thank you -
@TELE-HO customisation begins with a base activity, and the type is derived from that. I made only one customised activity for indoor climbing and Strava and QS both see it as climbing.
-
@isazi
just looked into it and of course I have all my sport modes customized. Or did I get it wrong now?
I have selected the screens I want and the datafields as I wantā¦ thatās what you mean by custom activity?
Because the only fields I have for e.g. SUP are: distance, duration, avg speed, speed, max speedā¦ but after the activity it shows ascent in meters and the comment HR reading was not optimal (Iāve put the watch over my wetsuitā¦)
And for gym workouts I use the customized activity cross fit with PTE, duration, avg HR, HR and % of max HR
ā¦I think I miss something hereā¦ thanks for your help! -
@TELE-HO using MC or SA? Iām not sure if thereās a difference. I just used this trick for indoor climbing and other people found it was working for them too. There are one or two other threads about it.
-
@isazi
yes, I know, I saw them recently.
strangeā¦
Iām using only SA (in combo with QS) -
@TELE-HO now that I think about it, I also use the standard āstrengthā and āyogaā activities and they also donāt register any distance nor ascent/descent.
-
@isazi
then it seems thereās room for improvementā¦ not all outdoor activities require GPS and/or altitude -
@isazi
I just noticed that Suunto has no problems with this as SA does not show an ascent value for e.g. SUPā¦
and SA has no annual total ascent or something like thatā¦ since I mainly check my activities in QS, this issue comes to the surface. I have now manually corrected it in QSā¦ so to say reasonable cheating for good. -
@TELE-HO went to QS to check. I have no distance and no ascent/descent for yoga and strength activities, and the same for my indoor climbing custom activity. Also no ascent/descent for openwater swimming (but of course distance).
-
add the possibility of creating specific training(intervalls running mode)
i.e. 2x (200-300-400-500)ā¦. 2x(3x300-2x400)
sorry if this topic has already been asked -
@Maxime-Raemy
search the forum for āstructured intervallsā and do not get scaredā¦
hope never dies -
@TELE-HO sad that this option was not renewedā¦

Hi guys, do you think that Suunto will release any other significant update for our S9B?
