@lexterm77 I went with Amazon, have more faith in their timely delivery, and I can easily return and change to titanium if the all black doesn’t work out.

Titanium looks great but those color insets on the sides under the bezel give me pause. Won’t go well with replacement bands.

I agree. That’s the main reason I might choose the black model.

The Blue is very dark so Black bands or very light bluish bands should be fine.

I never had any issue with Suunto web shop, never had a problem with returns. Prefer to pay them instead, more premium buying experience.

@lexterm77 It’s my first order from the Suunto webshop, but if their delivery speed is the same as for repairs then there is no complaining from my side.

I have no doubt that any combination will look aesthetically pleasing except the the pinkish red they released for explorer band on s9b.

I’ve ordered the new HR chest strap directly from the Suunto web shop and I received it within no time.

[Stefan Kersting]

@brad_olwin haha back to suunto essentials no discussions about battery capacity, updates, waypoint administration, turn by turn problems and the same nice suunto design

[lexterm77]

My power to hr ratio improved since I placed the order (due to unkown external factors)

I call this the new gear paradox

I am missing something I guess. How can s9p have sharper display?

s9P 1,2 inch display, 240x240 pix res. 30,48 mm /240 ppi = 7,78 pp/mil
s9B 1,34 inch display, 320x320 pix res. 34,06 mm /320 ppi = 9,39 pp/mil

@zvonejan You forgot a flat tire at the bottom, so S9B resolution is 320x300 if that. Same goes for the diameter of 1.34" that’s true only horizontally. Sharpness may also be due to a better brightness of the screen, better backlight tint, and better optical bonding between sapphire glass and the actual display.

Time will tell once these get into more people hands.

S9B has a fantastic display no doubt about it, but I’m not sure it beats 1.4" MIPS on Fenix 6X covered by sapphire. I think new Peak might have a similar, although smaller display. They all – Polar and COROS – seem to settle on that 1.2" size.
