After the plastic bezel on my Garmin Forerunner broke for a second time in under 2 years, I decided that I wasn’t going to pay another $150 for a third refurbished one.This watch has a metal bezel so that won’t happen again.After having it now for nearly a month, I’ve noticed a number of things.• The satellite connection is faster.• The GPS tracking is more accurate.• The heart rate monitor is more accurate (the results are nearly identical to my Polar H10 Chest Strap)• The end of the watch band has a post that keeps it in place against my wrist,• It has a combination of buttons and touch screen• The battery life is on par with Garmin• The app and stats are easier to read and navigate.• It has a much smaller profile against my skinny wrist.Any questions?

I’ve had this watch for a year now and logged well over 700 miles. GPS and route snapping are fantastic, has saved me numerous times having to double back. The weight to the watch is non existent ( I got the titanium model). Lots of great training apps.My only complaint is that the touch screen can be a bit finicky, but all in all not that big a deal because you can navigate with the buttons pretty easily

The step counter is a bit glitchy. I’ve noticed while laying on my couch moving my arms normally it will count as steps. Also while washing dishes it will couch steps. My tip if you want 10000 steps per day, just shoot gor 11000 to counter any ghost steps

Used this watch for a year before writing a review.First off, it’s smaller than the normal size Suunto watches (e.g. spartan ultra), and that unfortunately results in a substantial reduction in battery life – it is about 1/3 to 1/4 of the normal large size watch. You can barely get 5 days out of this battery after a year. It used to get about 8 days new.Compared to the larger watches, the display of this watch is really round (no notch at the 6 o’clock position), but unfortunately the resolution is lower and the software isn’t really well adapted – e.g. reading notifications is considerably harder as Suunto kept the icon size the same and text is only in the lower half of the display.The display is also a fingerprint magnet, but fairly easy to read. The new watch face introduced with the 9 renders properly both in standby and in active mode on this watch (in contrast with the big one on which is horrible). Colors are still limited and for example you won’t get the yellow color used in all marketing materials.Also the bezel around the display is ridiculously large for something from 2021.The leash while on the shorter side has a space saving locking mechanism with a socket and pin that seems to be adequate and the material is nice.Sleep detection is somewhat inaccurate, some days up to a couple of hours and complete lack of detecting/tracking naps.O2 saturation detection is complete and utter joke. It is broken – it works once in a blue moon, like literary I have it set up to do constant during sleep but when I go to see it, the reading is often over 20 days old. Trying to trigger it manually is unreliable, as there is no interaction – it’s up to the watch to show you an old inconsistent reading or try to obtain a new one and fail. Even when it somehow manages to get the O2 reading, it would be disturbingly low – often in high 80s, while other watches and medical devices would read 97-99 at the same time.The resource measurement is also inaccurate – you remove the watch and put it back on after a minute and somehow you have “gained” 15-20% of resources. You also don’t get to see the details of why the watch decides what your current resource level is.On iPhones the Suunto app won’t sync your heart rate data with the health app.The sports features work adequately and well most of the time, and the watch is quick to get a fix if it was recently synced, but if not, getting a fix can take more than 30 minutes, even when both gps and glonas have been enabled. Compass works well but it’s harder to see on the smaller screen (mostly due to how large the bezel is). Navigation on the current track could have also benefited from a slightly narrower bezel.The interface and accessing different features is very easy to use. There is only one function overload which is the long press of the center button and you get a great visual feedback for that.Something that Suunto has broken on this watch is the ability to select time zone by name – you only have the time zone offsets, and while it has gps, it can’t sync the time with the gps or figure out the time zone automatically.For the price of this watch, I wish it worked a little better, especially with sleep and o2 and had better battery life. Correcting the other minor annoyances would have been good as well.

GPS does not work or connects. Even with assisted GPS on with latest locational update. Reset the watch multiple times with no luck. Suunto support is horrible. I’ve always owned or had Suunto watches from the Core, X-lander, and Spartan and they are all good watches. Unfortunate that the most expensive watch on their line is the worst. !UPDATE! So I ended up using the online customer service instead of the chat in which I was able to send my watch back and have it replaced. Plus they added 3 more months of warranty. This type of service bumps up the rating.

I haven’t been impressed with Suunto in recent years but the 9 peak pro is truly amazing. Battery life has been absolutely amazing even using GPS. The android integration was seamless, notifications work perfectly coming from the phone, and love the details given in the suunto app. Some may complain about screen resolution and contrast but for me it’s all about function and battery life and this watch doesn’t disappoint. The watch is the most comfortable watch I’ve owned and the watch is crazy light weight. If you’re focus is function, you won’t be disappointed, the watch looks like a work of art, but if you areAfter the best graphics, look to samsung or Apple, but you’ll sacrifice battery life, function, and quality. Menu system is also very easy and intuitive. It’s smaller than most other comparable smart watches which is a plus for me and would work for women seeking a smaller profile

I’m a Suunto guy… the 9 Peak is my third one since 1998? My Suunto Core continues to work, except for the band which has been changed 10+ times maybe?This watch is NOT evolutionary it is a revolutionary step beyond my “beloved” Core. Why the change … the bands were not good. And Peak 9 has “way” more tools packed in a light watch which you can sleep with. Many exercises but NOT golf😖 but since this review is based on three weeks of use I’m continuing to search its secrets. My cycling intel is great, with speed and distance, the walking tool provides good intel also. The sleep, bpm, and ambient temp., alt, do not SEEM to be great at this point. I hope to make these functions work to my satisfaction.

I really, really wanted to like this watch, it looked great and solid piece of smartwatch but once I powered it up I noticed a few things right within the few minutes of trying to set it up, my very first impression was, “Wow, for a $600 smartwatch it’s awfully slow scrolling through the menus, settings etc.. secondly I noticed the screen was not edge-to-edge, it had a black ring on the edges making the screen viewing smaller and I was expecting sharper images and vivid colors, but no. I also think it came as an open box as if someone else did the same thing, didnt like it and returned it to Amazon and it ended up being shipped to me, it didnt have that right-out-of-box brand new feeling. The watch is heavy, feels tough but honestly I also thought it was clunky in design. Would I pay $600 for it? NO. Would I pay $60 for it? Maybe, at best.
