Suunto 9 Peak Pro?

isazi

@wakarimasen S9PP has more features than the S9P, not less.

wakarimasen

@isazi Good to hear! Would be good to have the website corrected

Question to all the early testers: do you know if the watch lugs (the protrusions that the strap attaches to) are made of metal (steel or titanium) like the bezel?

not an early tester, but S9P housing (incl lugs) are made of metal. I bet a lot, S9PP is the same.
btw. old S9B with plastic lugs lasts for +3 years on a tough lifestyle, too here

@Ivan-Vasilev This.
And as a S9P user I can tell you that the case and the lugs are very well made and are very solid.

The lugs are the same metal as the case

Just pre-ordered my S9PP all black , looking forward to enjoying all the benefits of the new processor, and even better GPS and OHR.

I guess I’ll keep Stryd as my primary power meter, works great for pacing in GPS challenged routes. but I’ll compare and see how much discrepancy is there.

btw, Stryd is also coming up with a new pod in November with new/updated sensors that they claim make it 5x more responsive.

It’d be interesting to see if new Stryd pod features can be used with S9PP (e.g. Run profiles for better results in trail runs or track workouts ) or at least help reduce the standing start issue (currently we don’t have power for the first 8 secs of a run)

The top of the titanium bezel looks less shiny in compare to S9P ti. Different finish or just on pictures?

I really hope that broadcasting HR will come with some firmware update down the road. I can see connecting to devices is something happening with the glasses, I hope broadcasting to Karoo is next.

I hope the dual frequency gps will come with some firmware

@zhang965 if I understand correctly, s9pp doesn’t have the hardware for it.

Suunto 9 Peak Pro GPS Accuracy & the new GPS Chip

Suunto’s new GPS chip is one of the latest generation multi-constellation chips from Sony. Suunto will not enable its multi-band/multi frequency capability and there is only one mode of operation which simultaneously looks at all available satellite systems (GPS+QZSS, GALILEO, BEIDOU & GLONASS) potentially enabling the 9 Peak Pro to use 32 satellites simultaneously.

MoeJito

@DMytro At least one review discussed this and concluded that while the chipset would actually allow dual freq GPS, the size of the watch is not suitable for it. What we got instead in the S9PP is the ability to connect to multiple satellite systems (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BEIDOU) at the same time.

I preordered it also, All Black. I have S9P but that was a small incremental update over S9B. I wish S9PP was the next iteration after S9B, it would look like a serious upgrade.

just a few questions for S9PP

multiple S+ at the same time?
HR zones on navigation screen?
SpO2 finally works well?(it is useless one S9P)
Daily constant HR measurements or 20min intervals?
SpO2 during activity? (I know user has to be still when measuring, but I’m just hoping)
Resources finally work well?
Any polar-like measurements like resting HR, fitness test or similar?

dulko79

As mentioned in previous post, is RHR for resources calculation measured by watch or is input from user? In the past there were some difficulties with resources due to FB algorithm. Was this addressed with new software and hardware?

@MoeJito whats the advantage? dual is as far as I know only for very few special situations. Under rocks… when you have gps Access S9P is super accurate! S9PP will be even better.

@herlas Isn’t the new Stryd already available?

TyreseJ4

@TyreseJ4 Never mind, I’d see the website says they won’t be shipping until November.

Not now, under discussion at Suunto. Could be possible with new hardware.

HR zones on navigation screen?

Navigation screen(s) will be probably updated, not there yet though. I actually hope also previous models will get the updated screen(s).

SpO2 finally works well?(it is useless one S9P)

Not sure, for me the S9P works well.

Daily constant HR measurements or 20min intervals?

Intervals, but this is a software thing that can change. I think also for S9P (stay tuned).

SpO2 during activity? (I know user has to be still when measuring, but I’m just hoping)

No.

Resources finally work well?

I honestly do not think the algorithm changed, it’s still the Firstbeat one.

Any polar-like measurements like resting HR, fitness test or similar?

Fitness tests are available with S+ apps, also for older devices.
