S9P review from a non-target audience
-
@jsuarez it’s not only Suunto. Coros also does not have any web frontend. If web front is very important to you, only Garmin and Polar still have them.

Nice review!!
I could see myself buying a S9P but the lack of an official Suunto web frontend comparable to movescount is totally unacceptable to me at such price range.You can use sport tracker as the web front-end, you can log in with your suuntoApp account
-
@kk1n76 That’s what I did almost 2 years ago.

@zhang965 Thank you, @zhang965 . However, that frontend is extremely subpar. It does not compare at all to Movescount.
yes I know, but it’s a good signal that a web interface could be developed after all.
-
@jsuarez have you tried quantified-self or runalyze? You can link both services with Suunto - sync will be automatic and you can also sync older workouts.
-
@zhang965 I’ve seen that you’ve managed to put the amount of GPS devices on QS charts - I don’t see such data with S5, is such data available only with S9?

the data comes from the raw GPS data, you can find it on your SuuntoApp folder, in a Zip file, unzip it and upload the samples.jason on QS
-
@zhang965 cool, thanks, I’ll take a peek.
-
@zhang965 True. But also shows Suunto’s disdain for a web frontend solution after 3+ years from the beginning of the transition.
-
@łukasz-szmigiel Thanks for the suggestion. Runalyze is great and I use it regularly. QS seems great too, but haven’t used it because it’s been a long time I haven’t used my Suunto watch. Big kudos to @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos because it looks like it’s a very well rounded web frontend.
However, the lack of a proper official web frontend is unacceptable to me for a half a thousand euro price range watch. On top of that, I don’t want my personal data (such as where I live or where/when I usually go out) spread across multiple 3rd party service providers.

@jsuarez its not 3 y , its like ended about 1y ago. Transition to the mobile app.

Thanks for this review.
Curious the tittle. I am curious what is the target audience of the S9P, and who are the buyers, and if they match -

I did the same complain as yours. And I still request a web fronted.
After seeing their improvements, I know they are working on a lot of requests, but maybe not with the priority that you think about.
I love to see a web interface, but some of my friends are not thinking in my way, for them(sport amateurs), a beautiful APP is a most-have, a web-interface is not.
Suunto Dev is a human powered team, they do have some bandwidth limits, (as your wallet has some limits as well) some requests could seduce more customers than a web interface.
I bought S9P (actually all flagships since Ambit3PEAK), just want support Suunto Dev to finish more requests, so maybe one day a web interface will come true.

That’s a great perspective, and no, I don’t work for Suunto!

Nope: genuinely thought it was a good way of thinking. Just wanted to point out that I don’t work for Suunto, as I had agreed with you!
