@thanasis we are trying to make these new settings come to you guys even if that means loosing something else.

Any infos about the wrist ohr on the s9pp? does it work with full sleeve tattoo arms or not ?
otherwise is there an update for the s9p in the pipeline about that big problem ?

Not sure if anyone saw this but DCRainmaker has a first look at the Suunto 9 Peak Pro up on his website:

@seanvk Thanks for sharing this article, this watch looks promising. I do hope Suunto throw a massive surprise to people with older watches and bring some news features out. I know probably wishful thinking

Everything sounds very promising and the fact that Suunto produces in Finland attracts me very much. I just have to think about whether I like a small watch or whether I’d rather wait for a larger one

@Kurt68
Suunto watches have never been available in different sizes, unlike phones or eg garmin where you had the choice with some compromises…
I support bigger watches entirely and always mention this at the end of surveys but it seems that the majority prefers smaller watches.

S9P/P are beautiful watches, why not scaling them, be proud and show off a bit

@freeheeler think Suunto knew exactly what they did with peak. Maybe top wish before was to make a smaller watch. From athletic point of view, size is perfect. But of course are there some left who want a bigger watch for mountaineering or just for style. Would be very interesting how sales figures are over the years and between S9 and S9P. We will never know… but the smaller the group for bigger watch, the later it will be there or never… nobody knows… also 1.3 inch in peak future could be a possible way.

@BinoWorld-UK S3/S5/S9 are getting an update this month, with new features and bugfixes. They get 3/4 updates per year, since they were released years ago.

@freeheeler This topic is important also for me. I am a little bit toward big watches but… my first big watch was A3. At firsts, wearing it was awkward. My eyes were not used to such a big watch (I was coming from POLAR RCX5) .
Over the years I have also had other watches ,smaller than A3 like S5 (4 mm smaller) and POLAR GRIT X (3mm smaller).
I have to say that in the end my eyes got used to both of them so much that when I was back with S9B, it looked awkward at first. Same goeas for the band (24mm vs 22mm)
That’s why I am genuinely considering to buy the S9PP. I know I will get used to its size and I will not have the asshole of the big watch moving around and pushing into my wrist when doing crossfit-weight lifting and so on.
Because I am getting old and my eyes do not work any more I care a lot about contrast and size of the screen.
S9PP promises better contrast and notably the screen is 0.3mm bigger than S5 and 0.3 smaller than S9/B.
and same size of Polar Grit X 1.2".
All in all I think is a matter of time, but I will give S9PP a try.

@fluca
I also expect that Suunto did a great job on readability and contrast of the screen.
The benefit of a smaller watch is less annoyance of it during the workout and I am also aware that bigger watches are disturbing e.g. during push ups.
I am absolutely not against the size of S9PP and might give it a try, too.
But I would appreciate to at least have a choice… coming from Suunto Core to garmin F3, A3PS and now S9B

@freeheeler I prefer s9pp size but would have liked a bigger screen. Maybe this can be achieved in the next gen by shrinking bezels a little bit?

freeheeler

@DMytro
I have no insights but have picked up that the bezel seem to bear the antenna. not sure how small the antenna can be or if it is possible to put it below the screen?
I think if it would have been possible nowadays Suunto would have already increased the screen for a better body/screen ratio.
with phones (always the phone example ), it also took some years before the bezel became smaller and almost disappeared

DMytro

@freeheeler I also wonder if that may be because of the display connector. In which case I would much rather prefer a flat tire display that thicker bezels.

@isazi I’m especially impressed with S5 getting new updates still. Only the battery is getting a little bit wimpy, but other than that it’s still going strong.

@Bogdan1921 next week may be busier

@isazi But I have a marathon this weekend… How the hell am I going to run it without the new FW for my S9P.
