My 2cent opinions on 9 Peak
-
Ok, now been using 9 peak for several weeks, and i am very impressed.
Good:
-
GPS accuracy. I live in singapore, with concrete jungle and my place is near the water canal, so combination of water bodies & high-rise usually kill a lot of sportwatch GPS. 9 peak is one of few (the other is 9 baro) that actually have very good track under steel canopy (excellent fusedtrack, i suspect?). The tracks and distance measured under high rise with water body is uncannily excellent
-
Instant pace = very very good.
-
OHR. 9 baro main weakness is its OHR is nearly unusable with cadence lock. With 9 peak, i can finally ditch strap for most of my runs (or maybe all). I think only rowing and weight lifting will still need straps (to be fair, all other OHR in other watches also fail to track OHR for rowing & weight lifting)
-
Build quality , i love the button click
and btw, No Scratch at all until today and i’m the person who once scratched sapphire glass of other watches and turn aluminium & steel watch to scratchy and rusty. -
Vibration motors = Finally, vibration that can wake me up haha… 9 baro vibration was quite weak that for alarm, is also unusable
Not so good (yet, i hope)
-
Indoor Rowing , the distance calculation is way off and i cannot have way to calibrate (this is same as 9 baro issue too)
-
Still cannot add more than 1 sensors of same type.
That’s all that i can think of now… overall, excellent Suunto watch

@kk1n76 oh, I used to live near Tanjong Pagar and did run a lot downtown at night with my S9 baro!
Watch: Suunto Vertical Ti

@isazi that’s nice. tanjong pagar is in central of singapore and also one of area that can sorely test the watch gps capability (with all the high rise office buildings). This is where i saw suunto gps algorithm makes a lot of difference (fusedtrack?)
