      I was wondering if it matters which wrist you wear the S9PP on. From past experience with Garmin and Coros, each requires the user to indicate which wrist the device will be worn on, but Suunto does not have that option/choice in the settings.

      Does it matter?

      Past Suuntos: X-Lander/Observer/T6/X9/X10/X6HR/CORES/Ambits/Spartan/9P/9PP Ti/Vertical Ti

      Current: Suunto Race Ti

      Past other GPS watches: Polar Vantage V; Garmin 6X Pro Solar; Coros Vertix 2

        There used to be a left / right setting in previous watches, but it’s no longer present in S9PP.

          @Łukasz-Szmigiel afaik it only was in smaller models like S5P only.
          9 series never had this selection. The 5 series has a different step counting engine.

          t6, S6, Elementum Terra, Ambit 3 Sapphire, Spartan Ultra Copper, Traverse Alpha, S7 Graphite LE, S9B Ambassador, S9P Granite Blue Titanium, S9PP Titanium Sand, Vertical All Black, Race Titanium Charcoal,
          Race S All Black - TI Canary - Titanium Courtney

              @Egika OK so it must be just an S5 thing.

                It’s only an s5 s3 thing that actually accounts only for steps

                  @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in Left vs right wrist?:

                  It’s only an s5 s3 thing that actually accounts only for steps

                  But why wrist will impact the steps counter ? It should ask you which leg you move first for walking.

                    Or maybe it should ask to put it on your ankle 😁

                    I guess it has something to do with front/back movement(swinging)
