Suunto 9 Peak (review and specs)

[northeast_trekker]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos how does the tilt to wake work…does it unlock the watchface using the arm movement or do you still need to press a button to unlock the watchface?

[isazi]

@northeast_trekker it turns on the backlight for a few seconds.

[northeast_trekker]

@isazi nice so it essentially removes the requirement of a button press. That was what I had hoped would be the case. Can you then touch the screen to cycle through data elements/complications?

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos thanks for explaining that. I’m looking forward to seeing some reference tracks from the testers when these get available!

If you know where to look there are many already on SA:)

No, it just activates the backlight. You must press a button to cycle through screens.

@brad_olwin please push me in the right direction. I’m especially looking for open water swim tracks as that is where my SSU is fooling me.

Oh for me this looks so good:
Titanium and black band
I wonder if there will be a future option to personalize:
titanium + black body (not blue).

@suzzlo altitude, in Greek

µ= 1/1000m?

[isazi]

@egika in English, in Greek that’s just an “m” (I assume, I only studied ancient and not modern Greek)

[Egika]

@isazi i know. just joking

[Bulkan]

Man I can’t wait to see the s9P for real. Looks pretty good and the screen… I love it.

[surfboomerang]

@bulkan Normally before you know it it’s Christmas again, but when you wait for a new watch time seems to slow to a crawl

[suzzlo]

@bulkan me too

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@suzzlo

-10meters (my house altitude in NL)

1 meter = 1 μέτρο.

Μετρό = meter and I think that’s the root of word (probably coming from ancient Greek)

Fun fact.

Taxi = taximeter = ταχύμετρο = to meter the speed

Dcrainmaker posted today on Instagram that he is testing the s9p vs 945 let on open water swim, may worth to check if you are interested

@andré-faria Ray’s in-depth review of the Peak is not out yet though.

[Theo Lakerveld]

@andré-faria yes, I’m aware that he’s comparing them. That’s a nice starter. The 5k runner also did a brief swim test in his review with good results. I’m looking forward to the indepth from Ray.

Taxi = taximeter = ταχύμετρο = to meter the speed

From which comes a Russian derivation тахометр… Meaning exact same thing and sporting some letters surely familiar to your Greek side. Curious how languages evolve.
