On the Suunto 9, as noted all units include a barometric altimeter. You’re simply paying for the bezel/weight/case/strap differences here. All models have a barometric altimeter, and identical battery/feature specs. Pricing wise, there’s two simple pricing tiers – one at $699/699EUR which is for the titanium models, which are 15% lighter (54g vs 62g), while the $569/569EUR models are stainless steel. – All Suunto 9 units include a barometric altimeter (previously, the lower-end Suunto 9 didn’t)

– New SuuntoPlus Ghost Runner screen option – New Suunto App first use pairing (to sync in your profile + date/time) – New light (white) watch face themes (as opposed to black only) – New ambient light sensor for automatic backlight illumination
#STEVEN SLATE TRIGGER 2 PACE ERROR BLUETOOTH#
– New wireless firmware updates over Bluetooth Smart – New Tour Mode (this technically was added to Suunto 9 Baro two months ago though)
#STEVEN SLATE TRIGGER 2 PACE ERROR FULL#
– New fast charging (1hr to full, versus 4hrs to full previously) – New magnetic charging cable design (doesn’t need to be precisely placed anymore) – New optical heart rate sensor from LifeQ (same company as on Suunto 7) – New exterior design, far thinner at 10.6mm (compared to 15.4mm on the Suunto 9 Baro) However, there are a pile of things that have changed, and I’ve tried to consolidate all of them into this simple bulleted list:

If you’ve had a Suunto 3/5/9 watch in the past (or a Suunto Spartan series watch), you’ll be pretty familiar with the core of the Suunto 9 Peak – most of it hasn’t changed. Thus it’s a full-featured multisport watch that connects to Bluetooth sensors and syncs all that data to your phone via the Suunto App, and then onwards to TrainingPeaks, Strava, and countless other partners.

The Suunto 9 Peak is in many ways still the same software you’d find on a previous Suunto 9 unit. You can hit up the links at the bottom if you find this post useful. Also as usual, they’ll get their media loaner watch back after all this, and I’ll go out and buy my own. So as usual, this isn’t a proper final review, but rather a first look. Since the device isn’t slated to start shipping until later in June, I’ll save my full review for then – and hopefully by then I’ll be able to get in some more mountainous workouts with it too. Though, I’ll mostly focus on the outside workouts.


This has included a slate of runs, rides, and indoor workouts too. In this post I’ll dive into my first week using the watch and all the new features. But the original Suunto 9 has seen various firmware updates along the way itself, including a new Tour mode that was introduced back in March, and of course consistent app updates to the Suunto smartphone app – to the point where it’s getting viable to use (compared to the now-retired Movescount). Sure, it’s not a vastly new watch when it comes to features.

Plus a handful of other smaller software tweaks. As I’ll explain later in the post, while this technology isn’t without its caveats, I’ve gotta believe it’s something that would be hugely beneficial to large numbers of marathon runners – especially for races like the NYC Marathon or similar.īeyond that and visible hardware changes, the Suunto 9 Peak also includes fast charging, a blood oxygen sensor, a new optical heart rate sensor, and wireless firmware updates (no more desktop computer required). Potentially the most innovative thing to hit GPS watches in years, Suunto’s new ‘Snap to Route’ functionality will keep not just your GPS tracks perfectly aligned to your plan route, but also ensure that your pacing and distance data matches that of the course, especially useful for urban/city races with poor GPS signals. So perfect that you’d think they might be fake.Īnd, in a way, they kinda are. While other differences are only seen after a run: Absolutely perfect GPS tracks. Some differences are glaringly obvious, like the sleek new watch design – throwing away the often chunky Suunto exterior style, while somehow feeling distinctly Suunto. Yet in other ways, it’s like everything Suunto has before it. In many ways, the Suunto 9 Peak is unlike anything Suunto has ever introduced before.
