      Hello, i would like to know is there a dislpay protection on the display when buying a new Suunto 9 Baro?
      My display backlight is allready 100% and everyting seems very dark and very difficult to read.
      I don’t want to scratch on the display on a new watch ;o))
      Thank you very much. Regards DM

        @dead-mailbox I ordered a set of 2 screenprotectors on eBay a long time ago. They fit perfectly and are invisible. They also stay in place under water.

          @dead-mailbox at 100% the screen of the S9 is very bright. I don’t remember if there is of not some film on the screen when in the box, it was too long ago I bought mine.

            @dead-mailbox it’s sapphire. It does not scratch that easy. Compared to gorillas glass and mobiles and oled screens is much more resistant. I hit my first s9b in the wall so hard that the bezel scratched but the glass didn’t have anything.

                @hristijan-petreski True, after more then 2,5 years of intensive use I don’t have a single scratch on my screen. Looks brand new. Nice work Suunto! 👍

                  @surfboomerang yup 🙂 That’s why people complain about readability because sapphire is less translucent than glass and more reflective. But I will never replace sapphire screen with anything else. I mean it’s the next scratch resistant thing after the diamond 🙂

                    @dead-mailbox So, everything is dark even when the backlight is set to 100%? Can you make sure you don’t have “Do not disturb” mode enabled? Because this darkens the backlight regardless on the settings.

                    Spartan Trainer: casing broke after 23 months, repaired, lost watertightness 5 months later, died
                    Despite some pretty bad luck, I still love Suunto!

                        @dead-mailbox I see. The only thing left that comes to my mind is to try to soft reset the watch (press the upper button for ~ 12 seconds).

                              @dead-mailbox Can you post a picture of the watch with the backlight on and off?

                                do you have power saving enabled? this dims the backlight, too.

                                  @dead-mailbox SUUNTO Sapphire is awesome! No protection needed…

                                    I can confirm that. Normally my watches have scratches pretty quick… after more than 1.5 years with my awesome X-Alps: not a single sign of a scratch on the glass 😍

                                      Thanx to all of you.
                                      I got in contact with the Suunto support.
                                      There is noch protection film / label on new watches.
                                      The support told me to check the same points as mentioned here.
                                      Even a reset changed nothing.
                                      i’m so sorry - but i have to send it back ;o(

                                        @dead-mailbox you mean to check whether it’s ok? You may have gotten a faulty unit, so try another one maybe. I’ve heard that s9 screen is a tad dimmer than fenix 6’s but I never had an issue with is, my setting is 20% brightness or so.

                                          @dead-mailbox Maybe we can tell you if the unit behavior looks ok if you post some pictures of it.

                                            it’s not so easy as it is dependent on the lights around us. But you’re right, I start here with my comparison pics: 100% backlight and no backlight.
                                            Maybe this helps @Dead-Mailbox ?
                                            I am very happy with the readability of my S9B’s screen 👌
