Reminds me of George in Seinfeld. 'When did you do this?' - 'I took the day off.' 😁

[@mlegrand]

I actually love that GPS snap feature. Not that I have tall buildings around me but it’s just nice to see Suunto innovating. Actually it’s nice to see that Suunto is still doing anything, alive and kicking. I was worried there for a while. 😬 Great video Ray!

[@DesdinovaCrux]

Nice to see Suunto still innovating. Looks very nice, but maps is still a killer have for me personally. But it's good for the whole sector for competitors to snap at each others heels with features. Stops any of them getting complacent.

[@georgelopez9411]

Snap to route is a genius feature. This actually makes me consider Suunto again for my next smartwatch. Will be keeping my eyes peeled for the HR accuracy numbers.

[@GodzillaGoesGaga]

Same. The mapping/direction/logging features and HR stuff is what I want. Most of the other stuff is just fluff. Needs: Accurate maps, accurate direction headings (where to go), pace, time on route, HR. That's it.

[@tomasz5274]

I dont think it have maps. I believe there is just breadcrumb navigation on the watch.

[@awaken77]

I wish it also has voice hints where to turn on the route

[@Ananasulm]

nice “virtual city” and the nice way to describe my favorite suunto function (route plan ) !

[@pavek]

Finally a non Italian which nails the brand for a chocolate cream (Nutella) and pasta (De Cecco). Definitely approved. Wait… was the video about something else? ^_^

[@Dcrainmaker]

Technically there was also some Italian olive oil, though, at the studio I don't have the good stuff. So don't judge there. :) And no - the video was definitely about Nutella and De Cecco!

[@anonymous134y]

snap to route is needed for the Suunto 7. My altitude doubles and got 4 replacements after sending them quantified-self statistics. No idea if it's a baro or cheap gps chip. I only use GPX files for my hikes / bikes so snap to route would be perfect for me.

[@djijomurdjevic]

Could you make a quick video or take some photos of different strap combinations? I'm interested if Granite blue watch looks okay with black strap. How visible are blue parts on the watch when wearing? Need this for different clothing combinations.

[@tomasz5274]

Great little watch! Cannot wait to see the follow up detailed review. 👍

[@zed9zed]

Hey look, it's Amsterdam Zuid 4:50. Thanks for the detailed review. Admittedly what most interests me about the Suunto is the comparative thinness. Most sports watches, Garmin included, are 20-50% thicker. It's absurd. You know, our arms are long... when is someone going to make a "landscape" style watch that can be quite long while also being thin?

[@monguzzle]

The hardware, particularly in titanium, looks beautiful. I just can't get past what happened when I was an early Spartan Ultra buyer. It took a *long* time for that watch to get features my 920XT had for ages. No ANT+ or topo maps either...a shame.

[@Coff33Grind3r]

How does this compare to the Garmin Venu 2?

[@romanliebl1914]

I really like the Design and the suunto Ecosystem. It's so good to see that suunto can still deliver something really new. And the Snap to Route Feature...to be honest most of the "innovations" of all the new Sportswatches aren't kind of a big thing. Coros - with it's Track Run Features, Polar - with it's Performacne Tests or Garmin - with their Ultralong Battery (on the Enduro for 899). So with this as competition, I think Snap to Route is pretty nice ;-)

[@JamesChung2000]

Thanks to your review, I bought my first sports watch! QQ, do you recommend screen protector? If yes, which one? Thanks! 🙏

[@awaken77]

I switched from Garmin 235, and for me touch screen is a BIG plus. in Garmin navigation with buttons is very slow and cumbersome. also, sometimes buttons are pressed during excercise, ruining the measurement. in Suunto 9 peak, buttons are very tight, and unlikely pressed by wrist motion. Also, snap to route is very nice feature for races on roads, where you know the track. Not so useful for trail running though

[@fabioverissimosantos]

Thank you for your review! I'm still using my Ambit3, the hardware it's amazing it just won't die.. does the Suunto 9 Peak supports L/R Power Balance?

I love the content and while I always come here for reviews on watches it would be awesome, if you could update your microphone. The sound quality is definitely not crisp and clear enough, which unfortunately negatively affects the enjoyablity of the video.

[@davidlynch9049]

I didn't see a Nutella town, Ray. I saw one Nutella building. Accuracy is important. 😎 Thanks for another great and honest review. Why can't we get a badass close competitor to Garmin?

[@teammorio]

Have you tried assuming with it? Literature says HR monitoring will work while swimming. Is that true?

[@NathanBudd]

How does it work with a diversion say that is over 100m? If I'm going on a planned 10k, and the road I planned the route on is closed... so I end up doing 11k. Does it show as 11k on Strava etc or 10k?

[@Dcrainmaker]

After 100m, it snaps you off the route to regular GPS, including your added distance/etc... So it'd show 11KM.

[@NathanBudd]

@@Dcrainmaker Cool. I did hear that in the video, I was just unsure if you returned to the route again, whether it would resume you at that point, or allow for the addidional distance covered.

[@i.p2088]

How accurate is the HR?

[@Dcrainmaker]

Mostly OK thus far in testing, but it'll dig deeper as the firmware gets finalized in the coming weeks.

Does this have a feature to find/ring lost phone?

[@michaelgallegos2114]

I have a daughter with a shunt that is effected by magnets. Can you please let me know if the Suunto 9 watch, itself, has magnets? I am aware that the charger has magnets. I appreciate your help.

[@BartBroeckx]

I bought it but sent it back the same day. I didn't even bother to turn it on and set it up. Reason: The bracelet is way too small for my wide wrist, I don't understand why Suunto doesn't have an option to offer a wider strap. I'm certainly not the only one with this problem. Tsss....

[@sascha9320]

Suunto has various other watches on offer that are much larger. They will certainly fit you better. This watch has finally been "designed small" by Suunto. I like small watches and bracelets, for example. That way everyone is different.

[@johnnijohnni2556]

Are they completely going away from the old design? I liked the rugged look, hope they keep it...

[@tomasz5274]

I wont be surprised they are hiding there big GPS antenna :) Although no indication so far it have greater accuracy than the rest of lot :D Other possibility is getting bigger battery with smaller screen == better battery life. IMHO Suunto watches have nicer and more minimalistic UI vs other too colourful ones packed with 100 info on one screen. But I’d like to see greater responsiveness in their UI and maps! All the best!

​@@phillipcsandoval9094 I am getting a refund from Amazon. After 10 days of usage...both the hardware and the software including analysis appear to be 3/4 baked. SUUNTO 9 Peak Granite Blue Titanium looks good, light, fast charge, lasts long...and GPS looks good. But the rest of the features...they are sexy but not useful or practical for everyday use. Like, sleep capture, rest estimate, temperature, (I don't even know the weather alert will even work...haha, I'm in California), HR is way off...had to pair my chest Polar H9 to be accurate, brightness and raise to wake don't work consistently, notifications don't clear (Android), and sleep analysis is wonky.

It wasn't quite complete. What about phone notifications? Kann I receive calls on the watch? Meening, I have my phone in my pocket and my headset in my ears. Do I have to take my phone out to accept the call or can I press a button on the watch to accept it?

[@liljemark1]

You can read texts, Facebook messenger messages, MS Teams messages etc,and see who is calling but you can't answer the call. Personally I use headset that allows answering the incoming call if I'm commuting. With Suunto 7 (WearOS) you can answer call.

[@touchtm5534]

@@liljemark1 Thanks for the answer. I turned off the touch controls on my headset because I always accidently touched it when I adjusted the ear piece. That's why it would have been interessting to accept incoming calls with the watch. But it seems like no (good) watch is able to do it.

[@djijomurdjevic]

How's performance in terms of speed? Not sure if it's due to recording, but animations seem to be stuttering?

[@Dcrainmaker]

Yeah, it’s not super quick. But mostly Ok enough.

[@JamesChung2000]

Got the S9P and it's "okay." It looks good. But... temperature is 15'F off (I know I didn't buy it for that... but either do it right or don't do it at all). I'm above average multi-sport fit 50 yo., S9P says I'm fair and keeps saying I'm losing fitness. 🤪 And the HRM has me clocking 190 bpm (yes, I have it snugly placed up). I am constantly stressed. I need 103h recovery time after wearing it 10 days. Not all notifications disappear. Sleep sensor does not track the duration properly. Screen brightness is not that bright..it is not consistent even after setting as bright and fixed. All in all, S9P features and analysis feel half baked because various measurements are not good enough. Battery life and charging time is great.

[@liljemark1]

Did you report your findings to Suunto support? As a 40yo distance runner I'd never expect Garmin or Suunto analytics to tell me where I am in my fitness or running shape. I keep hearing from Garmin users that they'd need to go all-out every day to have the watch say their fitness is the same or improving - have easy days and Garmin will say fitness is dropping 🤣

[@JamesChung2000]

@@liljemark1 Thanks for the suggestion. I am going to contact Suunto support today. I took pictures. I am resetting it now hoping it behaves better. Otherwise, I am going to return it. Maybe get the cheaper Suunto 9 Baro (features are practically identical I think sans wired sw update, but bigger screen, etc.). 🤪

[@tomasz5274]

@@liljemark1 In Garmin it heavily rely on min and max HR -> HR zones. And people can set whatever they "believe" is true and then the watch outputs trainings that it "believe" as to be true... :D HR zones are changing with your SpO2max (probably most quickly for beginners or "returners" to fitness) and I guess not much people are updating their min/max HR and zones. It's pity there is no way that Garmin watches can calibrate this values itself... I agree that the best solution is to listen to your body instead of watch suggestions, I'd rather consider them as inspiration :) All the best!

Dear DC, Could you show a bit in more details the map on the new 9er? Obviously I am interested to see or know if its the same as on the Suunto 7? (outdoor map). Main reason of interest is, yes I like the map function in the 7 but the battery is so sad that I think it makes sense to move back to the 9er, with out OSwear. Thank you, Patric

[@tomasz5274]

I'm afraid that most probably there is no maps on this watch just breadcrumb navigation (showing planned path and your actual path, but now other paths around, topo etc.) Suunto 7 was different story as it was different watch OS - not Suunto own one.

[@夏强洪]

Is Chinese in the language setting?

[@charlesoutthere]

So: - New feature useful in less than 5% of your runs (stick to map), at best, and only on road (not trail) - Nothing really new with the HR sensor, hopefully better than the S7/S9 where it's really bad and inconsistent - New sensor that isn't really useful (Pulse O2) - Wireless updates (3+ years late) - Smaller screen, meh - Ambient lite sensor, about time (5+ years late) - Another change of charging cables, thank you for the environment (never had issues with the S9) - SuuntoPlus is still one by one, and cannot be enabled by default Yeah, will pass. Appreciate the very fair review, where you don't try to oversell the watch, just speak about the facts (although a pros/cons comparison with the S9 could have been nice). It's a good update from Suunto, just at least 18 to 24 moths late. Won't get people back to / switch to Suunto, and the ones who are thinking about leaving will likely do it.

​@@charlesoutthere im not a serious athlete but im undergoing rehab from a football injury and need something to help me measure improvements (endurance, drills, etc). i never thought about buying smart watches in my life had it not been for the football injury. What i care about is that it is something i can wear all day (not put on and take off after exercise), and I do not have to think about battery often, and that it is not bulky.. would be nice also with some other general health measurements as well such as calories, sleep etc. budget is virtually unlimited. thanks man!

[@charlesoutthere]

@@threedeafears Cool thank you for the details! Just so we're clear, I'm not saying the S9 peaks is a bad watch, just not worth the upgrade for someone who as the S9. As per your listing, I think I would recommend the Garmin 945. I don't think you need the LTE which is more suited for multi day adventures, and that the Fenix would just be throwing money, so you can stick with the non LTE 945 which is on sale right now. An alternative is the Polar Vantage V2, which has about the same features (although the Garmin platform is recognized has being better). Third option is the Coros Apex. A lot cheaper, but doesn't come with as much features as the two previous one, so would recommend if you want something simpler.

[@threedeafears]

​@@charlesoutthere thanks man! btw i tried Suunto 9 Peak at the shop, and it is crazy how big the bezel is compared to the size of the watch. How is that possible in 2021? And it pissed me off more how much Suunto tries to hide that in its ads / marketing.

What features are you talking about?

[@liljemark1]

Depends on what you need from your tool, no? As a random 40yo distance runner training with Stryd pod I want support for the pod, intervals and autolaps. Spartan Ultra has been my choice since 2016, now switched to 9 Peak after found one in the 2nd hand market. Awesome watch. Not a very "smart watch" and I don't wear it 24/7 but even the displaying of emails, texts and phone calls is useful if my phone is in the backpack or pocket - and yes, I already had that feature with SSU. But of course it's personal preference as it is with anything these days which watch suits you... some want structured workouts, Spotify etc. and then you'll probably want to consider Apple/Garmin/Coros ecosystem.

[@tomasz5274]

@@liljemark1 Agreed. I see Garmins packed with features but when I've tested Instinct Solar it appears that despite great GPS tracking much of other stuff which looks so nice on paper were just unreliable. Sleep tracking kick off whenever I just lying on sofa and watching movies (apple watch much better here). I saw YT movies complaining for Fenix 6 pace accuracy. Apple watch have better HR sensor etc. etc. and Fenix is not cheap toy, but I guess it have better marketing and more positions in specs. ;) I still would like to see better UI performance and maps in Suunto watches. I was getting double notifications sometimes on old Travers Alpha, I hope Suunto improved this in newer watches as it was annoying (getting ~10 notifications in a row for messages that was already notified in the past). All in all there is no one gold solution! All the best guys!

I bought the Suunto 9 last year and lost the power lead. I was promised a replacement by Suunto and then after 15 communications with them (most of which were not replied to) I had to give up and buy it new. Los of apologies and no action- really poor for a $900 watch. Really poor service has coloured my judgement on Suunto

[@leonidasleontis]

Have been wearing the Suunto 9 Baro for almost 2 years now, before that had a Garmin Fenix 3. Suunto's operating system and user interface is just obsolete. Not only it is badly designed, but it also fails to utilize the full capabilities of the hardware on the watch. Example of that is the screen, although it has much better resolution even compared to newer Garmin watches, just put the two side by side and you will know what I mean. The watch faces are static and wrongly designed, meaning they fail to be info-dominant, it's like somebody was lazy to design the full thing and stopped somewhere there... While the whole interface, charts, bars, widgets, all lack multicolor execution. These are just to name some, others are lack of gesture controlled illumination, lack of over the air updates, lack of automatic activity start stop. Just go to Garmin, believe me.

Well from a material perspective it's on the level of a Fenix 6 Sapphire Titanium, wich is - after 3 years on 700$/€ and started with 850. But the Lifecycle of the Fenix 6 is near by an end with speculations since beginning of 2020 that Garmin will bring a successor to the market, this may be considered when comparing thoose 2 prices. And Coros with the Vertix, wich was also released 2 years ago, is also by 600-700 - and even without movescout, Suunto has a better Ecosystem than Coros.

So if you're running a marathon, it'll correctly snap you to your location on the course, rather than a bad GPS data point running through Manhatten. Don't get me wrong, Suunto is clearly far behind at this point, but this is - by itself - a cool feature for specific purposes.

So let's sum it up - except blood saturation there is nothing new. What a shame suunto! I stick with my old spartan ultra until it wears out and buy something new, but not from Suunto.

[@Dcrainmaker]

The snap to route is new, and pretty big.

[@matus69sk]

@@Dcrainmaker it is a nice feature I agree.

[@martinseitlinger2649]

@@Dcrainmaker I agree, but "snap to route" is a software feature, so that's nothing unique for a new watch, they could give it to the 9Baro as well.

[@martinseitlinger2649]

You are right, unfortunately - I miss features like the map (on my Fenix 6x Pro) - that's really useful . I did like the style of Suunto for long time and I used my Ambit 3 peak with passion. As soon as I heard "peak" in a new model I thought yeah... but, hmmmm. Other features like Solar on Garmin are nice, but not the main point, but maps. And they don't need to be huge like Garmin ones, but lets assume a top map 300-500 km around you - that would be perfect even for a longer hike or bike tour and will not take that much memory.

@@martinseitlinger2649 I was also thinking today about this snap to route (while running 😊) - this looks to me like software thing - they should be able to put in in all watches with their environment

I waited for new Suunto watches, but design is ugly. Guess i switch to Garmin Phoenix.

[@tomasz5274]

I think 9 Peak is more like Fenix 6S and if you like something that look more beefy and rugged like Fenix 6X but from Suunto offer then look rather to Suunto 9 Baro.
