Suunto 9 Peak (review and specs)

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@surfboomerang if you talk about the sea level pressure that wont come to windsuf. We have turned off the sensor as wind etc can really mess it up

[surfboomerang]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I was talking about the sun icon color of the weather widget, but good to know that pressure is not measured for the exact reason you mentioned. Does this also mean that altitude is no longer recorded for watersports? Because that metric was quite useless for those sports

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@surfboomerang I am not sure if this applies to all water sports. But I would assume to most yes. I know there are a few misalignments here and there reported.

[surfboomerang]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos You’re right. Maybe it is interesting for downhill kayaking (or how is that sport called?)

[inkognito]

@surfboomerang The green line between the data fields is the progress bar of your target distance/duration. I think this was implemented at least a year ago

Edit: damn, too late

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@bulkan this will become better

[surfboomerang]

@inkognito Thanks anyway

[Bulkan]

@surfboomerang is the same data and course. But looks like it will be improve.

[isazi]

@bulkan yeah at the moment the alti profile on the Peak is a bit flattened, probably due to difference in screen size.

White water kayaking. The problem there is you get a lot of water on the sensor, sometimes submerging it etc.
You still get a good idea of the altitude profile and that is the reason why it makes sense to keep altitude data for kayaking. This is the way it is

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@egika I have to check with the S9P sensor and water. To me it looks it works better as the sensor doesn’t get water stuck in

[isazi]

@egika yes, what I would do is similar to what already happens with other sports such as MTB, where you have different specializations. When choosing Kayaking I would like to have two profiles: flat water, white water.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos the screenshot above is from S9 - i am happy with this given the challenging conditions
@isazi : good idea

[freeheeler]

@egika
for white water kayaking uphills could be filtered and maybe there’s a reasonable algorithm to detect submerging the watch: unless you take a huge waterfall drop, there’s no reason to suddenly rise the pressure.
Maybe it sounds a bit ignorant as rivers follow a certain topography and I bet some kayakers would like to record this, too… but what if only start and end alti is recorded and delta is the descent?

we do do that. But water sticks and influsences

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Last update and charge of the watch was 6 days exactly ago, the morning of 26th May.

• All on (24/7 tracking etc) except notifications. Standbylight always on, on adoptive mode. No raise to wake as it’s not needed for this config.
• White watchface
• 4h of GPS with Gallileo (consumes more than GPS only)
• 2 FW update on the 26th and 28th of the month (transfer FW via BT + install )
• Several checks on the watch and playing around for pics etc
• DND from 22pm to 8am
• Several pairings with SA due to development

I am now at 29% battery left

I suppose its good.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos how often does sensor check daily heart rate, every second or within certain time interval?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@dulko79 some time interval not every second. I dont know the specifics but it should be around 5-10mins. It does have somewhat a cleverness there. Also it will change this a bit in the future.
But I dont think that OHR is the main drainage in battery on the s9P.

[dulko79]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos cleverness, like if you are sitting still at the desk working, then you get up and start walking. Peak then changes sampling rate for hr based on movement?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@dulko79 Unfortunately I dont know the specifics. What I do know is that atm there are a few features missing. For example “sensing” that the watch is not worn / tight (sensor skin contact). That should come asap.
