Suunto 9 Peak Pro

Pretty happy with it so far. I do wish the maps were a little more detailed but I guess that's with the more expensive ones. It handles everything else I'm interested in: pulse, exercise tracking, even time of day!

I absolutely love this watch! It's my first smartwatch that tracks tons of things (I used to have a Garmin Forerunner 35, so you can imagine how basic I needed my watch to be, haha). I use it to track my runs, open water swims, hikes, and walks, and I've also been tracking my steps, sleep, and HR. I haven't had any issues except for the unexpected notification when I have to recalibrate the compass. This watch has truly helped me understand my training sessions better and stay on track. I'm in love with Suunto!

Replaced my old 9 peak pro. Like it so far!

Already did

A robust watch with more features than I know what to do with. I bought this watch because of the Tier One Series books, and I have not been disappointed .

One of the best watches I have ever owned. It has everything you need for whatever you need, right on your wrist. I Have used it for Training, Climbing, Hiking, and Paragliding. Like I said it has everything. Route finding, Altimeter , Variometer, Weather, etc...etc..

Really nice watch that’s built like a tank. The app took me a little while to master. VO2 max didn’t register as quick as my Garmin, but each finished exercise is labeled as aerobic, anaerobic (or both), VO2 max, etc. depending on your heart rate. Once you perform enough hardcore VO2 max workouts, the number is revealed.

Coming from a Fenix 6X Pro Solar I had big expectations. Literally. That watch is huge. So for starters, the 9 Peak Pro is definitely tidier in terms of size and appearance. However, it doesn't really feel too small. It's actually very comfortable and looks good on the wrist. Suunto did a nice job of fit and finish, and the sapphire glass gives it a clean appearance.

At first I was quite "meh" about the 9 Peak Pro and it wasn't 100% in love with it initially. I didn't really care for the way it sits "above" the band, and the bezel is unnecessarily large, making for a smaller MIP screen. However, after 2 days with it, my criticisms were overshadowed by praise.

For starters, it's a watch that is meant to be worn 24/7 and it is comfortable every step of the way. Running, training martial arts (which is one of the sports listed too... cool), sleeping, and just wearing it as an everyday watch, has been a bigger pleasure than initially thought. It's a good watch, and the Suunto App is clean, light, and is honestly a better day-to-day experience than the Garmin Apps. I especially the way it tracks my runs/walks, along with the provided metrics.

To me, the big selling feature of this watch was the Mil Std rating. Having a Suunto Core Alpha, along with several G-Shocks (and the Fenix), being rugged and tough is a big requirement as I am naturally tough on my watches.

Overall, I really like the Suunto experience (once you learn how to hust some notifications). Just remember what you are getting with an MIP screen. It's never going to be as clear as an AMOLED, but you'll certainly get good battery life, and I'll say it's quite clear and easy to read overall. The only other knock I have on this watch, is that customization and apps are a bit sparse especially when compared to the Garmin's, but that's not a bad thing, in fact, I think that's what I like best about this watch - it's very easy to live with.

So in conclusion, if you want a solid watch that's smart enough to give you good data to base your work out off of, along with solid ABC functions for in the field or wilderness, give this watch a look. In fact, it's even getting me to consider pulling the trigger on a Suunto Race as well.

So far so good. Great tracking for Xc skate skiing

I've had the watch for over a week now, took some getting use too.. I had the suunto Ambit 3 for 10 years before this one.. Very happy with with the switch and the sleek look.

Awesome! Such an upgrade from the Apple Watch.
The MTB feature is very accurate (why I purchased)
I love the plethora of stats it provides after a workout, too!
Only reason for 4/5 is because the blood oxygen measurement is very off. Like, it says my blood oxygen is at 70% (I would be de*d).

Very pleased with the watch. Size, thickness, etc. Easy to set up with the app. I gwt notifications from my phone. Quite pleased at present. Happy woth battery life. Started using the watch with battery at 82%. Day 7, I am at 22%.

I’ve had Apple Watches, Garmin, and Fitbit's.Nothing compares to this Suunto watch in my opinion. It’s simple to use, made of quality material, looks great, and the Suunto app is fantastic.Battery is amazing I typically run 35+ miles a week, surf 3+ hours a week, lift 3 days a week, and that will usually only use 50% of the battery. So, I get around 14 days of battery, which for me is amazing. I know it may advertise 20+ days of battery life and I’m sure I could get it if I wasn’t so active.Running is my top priority for watch use and it’s on point. Pace is perfect, distance is perfect, everything is just great! It’s a smidge bit heavier than a Garmin but it’s because it’s quality.Personally I don’t like the Garmin app, workout modes, etc. they offer but that’s just my opinion because I don’t need my reps counted, I don’t dive, I don’t need a song and fireworks show for every mile I run. Some people do and I totally get why you like the Garmin then.Suunto is simple, I get texts & phone calls when near my phone (can’t reply or pick up) which I love. If it’s important I’ll grab my phone.App allows you to track everything and it’s simple. Download different watch faces if you’d like (I did, as shown in photos).I haven’t done any tri’s or Ironmans so I’m not sure how it works for that. But if you’re just looking to track activities, distances, and calories I recommend.Hooks up to strava as well! Just takes a min to figure it out. Strava will make you connect Suunto app. Not difficult if you follow directions.Last but not least, can’t beat the price! Hope this was helpful, cheers.

Love the watch, great looking lots of applications
Pretty easily to learn, O2 reader could use update as it sometimes is wildly off While wearing another one that reads 96% while sitting still?
The band is great, every band should use the pin design

I managed to put this watch through a wood chipper on accident yesterday and was shocked to see no damage to the body let alone find it again. The build construction is nuts, stoked on this model!

I used it for my first hike today in Mammoth, so far it is working great. It has a bit of a learning curve as I am used to my Ambit Peak 3. Have to learn how to adjust a few screens

Haven't figured out why I get miscellaneous beeps. Battery life is great. I think the fitness metrics don't work that well for cross sports participation; e.g. mountain biking, skiing, paddle boarding, hiking.

Like the exercise features, but having trouble keeping it synched to my droid watch, unless I restart it.

It was a gift for my son and he loved it! He picked it out.

It is a great upgrade from my Sunnto 9 I purchased several years ago. I am very happy with the watch, and its performance.

No complaints metrics seem accurate and the battery life is fantastic

Great

I love this watch. I originally got it for the heart rate and step count features, but now I find myself using every function it offers. The app integration is seamless and i have nothing bad to report so far.

Happy with Suunto 9 Peak Pro,

Nice upgrade to my Charge 6. Smaller size fit well. Has all the fitness and tracking features I need at a good price point.
