Suunto 9 Peak Pro?

DMytro

@Pavlas I doubt that graphics is necessary to keep watches alive. Just improvements of suunto guides and maybe smth else.
On the other hand, s9p has (probably) a similar processor to s9b and it would be a pity, if s9p doesn’t get the new UI. We’ll see:)

@Pavlas I agree, I think they postponed the june update so much because it’s a new UI and that comes with a lot of work and testing, more than just for some new feature. I also hope it’s more readable, I’m happy with my S9P and the only issue I have with it is that it’s hard to read the screen on the damn thing.

@DMytro I meant that an old watch might look more modern and up to date. But maybe I’m wrong.

Seems that we have to wait around a week:

@cosme-costa
that’s a mean teaser

@cosme-costa watchband just unveiled official

@freeheeler I really really hope there will be two sizes… Otherwise I go mad…

@mountainChris
not sure why this valid wish was down voted…

@freeheeler hope this does not mean that there are no 2 sizes

@mountainChris
I don’t know, but by the leaks we have seen, I doubt it

Doesn’t look like it does it. I’d have probably bought one if it was the same size as my S9B, the Peak is just too small for me unfortunately. Aside from that, nice job

DMytro

@cosme-costa then I assume we’ll see an update either shortly before (as with s9p) or on the same day.

@DMytro My guess is that we will get the upgrade at the same time of the presentation or even later. I mean (and all is speculation) if Suunto is keeping the presentation and mainly the new features/UI quite “secret” I do not think they are going to release the new features/UI beforehand in the older watches.

would be nice, but I doubt it. I’d be happy to be wrong though

@aroo7 it would be nice if they also surprised us with some decent updates for the older watches, they need to keep up with the competition. Garmin is pushing updates and beta like mad atm!!

Patrick Löffler

@BinoWorld-UK Yeah. They feel the Apple Watch ultra. They even added native running power measured at the wrist. That was only possible with Garmins‘ heart rate belts. But as the Ultra can do it - they followed. Competition is so good!

I also have a Wahoo Elemnt Rival in addition to my S9B, that usually gets some type of update at least every couple of weeks and they’re normally pretty decent ones too

@MiniForklift @BinoWorld-UK Rather then send out alpha and beta versions as Garmin does, Suunto uses a fairly extensive and diverse group of field testers to find bugs. Not saying one is better than the other but after having an Epix 2 for over six months, a lot of the bugs reported to Garmin are user-specific issues and not bugs. So, Garmin has to sort through them and figure out which ones are pervasive and which ones are not. That takes a lot of effort.

The fieldtest approach, while not perfect eliminates 99% of the bugs, leaving a small set for the consumer.

@Brad_Olwin that’s a great way of approving the topic of bugs…… what about the lack of added features by Suunto on many forgotten watches. Are they aware of market shift due to lack of updates to their devices? I have owned like you many brands and I must admit Suunto is the slowest and the least enthusiastic compnay when it comes to innovation and desire to improve and add additional features to the Suunto line up.

Yo dude, you can found an old topic we discussed on these testers.

For me , find the next generation testers, it’s a big challenge for Suunto,

Oh my god, Where did they found these … corny cocky testers… Suunto must to wipe them off.

Everytime you ask a new feature, they will jump to your eyes and saying "no I don’t need that!! I’m A ultra Sporter! Listen to me! Or I’ll cry!! "
