After much research & many reviews I decided to try the Suunto from my previous Galaxy watch. Mostly to suit my lifestyle. Battery life is important to me, and the Baro 9 lasts me at least 12-14days. The gps is phenomenal and can select diff satellites if you choose. Not to mention the watch has over 80 pre-programmed activities. The HR monitor is made by valencell, whom actually specialize in health & medical monitors. The only con I have personally is wearing it to bed, the watch is around 50mm. It also syncs with UA mapmywalk which I enjoyed using with the Samsung watch. Overall its very impressive, I’d purchase another Suunto in the future!

L’orologio è fantastico in modalità allenamento, anche se mi dispiace che Suunto abbia tolto la possibilità di aggiungere vari quadranti come era su ambite, qui ce ne sono solo 4 per sport e di cui uno adibito alla navigazione. Mentre in modalità orologio non mi piace per niente il quadrante da spento e praticamente invisibile mentre ambito 2 e visibilissimo. Non mi dilungo sulla batteria tanto è risaputo durata infinita

The 9 G1 Baro is Titanium is lite weight. I use the watch primarily for cycling and hiking. The battery life has been excellent lasting for over a week depending upon what I am doing. If you decide to buy this watch I would recommend only down loading the Suunto app to your phone and not downloading the Movescount app to your phone. I have issues with syncing the watch to Movescount on my iPhone particularly after i have synced with the Suunto App… If you link your watch via the USB connection to your computer, the Movescount page does come up and does summarize your activities. Suunto has made it known that the Movescount app will be retired by 2020… I have not tried planning a route on the Suunto app yet, but it does look easy to use….
i like the Suunto app on my iPhone and have had no issues with it. You get what you pay for… This is a high quality activity tracker…This is a great activity watch…

A much smaller screen, dimmer too. Also a very laggy interface. Definitely not worth $800 after tax.

The watch is built like a brick. Absolutely incredible. The routing and breadcrumbs feature is not great, it has no map overlay so if you go off the trail, or the trail and a bit off the route, It loses some of its usefulness. The software on the watch is slow and bit clunky. Battery seems to last well, the screen is a very dated matrix display but does what it’s supposed to do. I have a high end Suunto dive computer as well, it’s sort of the same…very utilitarian.

For Sunnto to even put there name on a watch like this is tribute to the crap produced today.
Look I can understand software issues, but this thing is a legistical pain in the butt. I guess its ok if it takes a measurement whenever it wants, if I wanted tgat kind of reliability I would have piad 300 less and got a Samsung.
Heattrate monitor worked great for three days, now. Barely works at all aand no its not settings. The compass cannot be accessed quickly..
The battery lasted longer ib my wind up watches..
The screen itself has the worst display at night ive ever seen. Turn it up to 100 yep you can see it good by batteru

The alt meter will probably get you killed if you hunt or fish, hike or are a gunner. Its so far off my duahter guessed better than the watch. And yeah it was reset three times, then set to my back up suunto watch. Within 10 minutes of by 100 ft two hours 1345ft.
So it bega to wonder if it that far off hows the gps keeping up.
Well its signal is just as bad it comes and goes works off and ob and never mind tracking back becuase the path was eatin by the watch.
This watch was nade for the desk jockey who acts like they use there watch.
The face bezel piant will flake off leaving a chrome underlining, part black part shiny. Yep thats what I want from a $500-600 price range watch.

Very Disapointed after using this watch for 3-4 runs. I previously had a Suunto Ambit 1 and Ambit 3 Peak was very happy with both. I upgraded to the Suunto 9 for the longer battery life and some other nice improvements. Unfortunately there seems to be some major issues with this watch.
1. On my first long run, which was actually a 100 mile race, the Suunto 9 registered 121 miles – more than 20% off in distance. This is wildly inaccurate and it seems the GPS function was not active for some reason although I definitely did not turn it off. I called Suunto and they promised to look into it, sent them the file etc and I haven’t heard anything in over a week. I called again 2 days ago and was on hold forever, the automated system said it would call me back and never did. Completely unacceptable. Strava thought I was on a treadmill for some reason although I had used the “trail running” activity setting. The battery did last more than 24 hours though.
2. On my run today, the watch seemed to work fine, and uploaded to Movescount accurately. I did about 90 minutes, 9 miles, or about a 10 min/mile pace with some hills and a couple stops to stretch for a minute or two. However when I uploaded the file to strava, it shows my moving time was 27 minutes and my pace was 3:06 per mile. I’ve never had this level of discrepancy with strava/movescount before.
did I get a bad unit, or am I just a beta tester? hard to know.

First off, I really love the look of this watch. Love the UI and the app, but I need a watch that’s accurate and can do basic functions for me. I returned this (after contacting Suunto support) within days because I wasn’t able to get smart notifications to work outside of normal text and calls. Also, the pedometer is wildly inaccurate. You can move your arms without walking and it will count steps as if you are walking. Least to say I’m pretty bummed out. After months of research nothing touches Suunto for the price. Maybe the kinks will be worked out and I’ll return in a few years. Gonna purchase a Fenix 5x for now.

Watch is great. It’s my 3rd Suunto. A bit sizable but exercise, not fashion.
For those with smaller wrists, and the band too ‘solid’, the band for the Suunto Ambit Vertical fits the Suunto 9, and is softer and more pliable. The pin holes’ position is exactly the same. The 9’s pin size is larger, so the smaller Ambit Vertical pin easily snaps in. And gives better HR readings.

I used this watch for five weeks. It was great. From indoor swimming to weight lifting and uphill running. It was there for all my training needs. Then the firmware update came out in June 2019. Crashed the watch so I sent it to be fixed. It’s been a month and a half and I still don’t have the watch fixed.
I called customer service and they are stating that I have another two to four weeks of waiting because there has been a spike in watch returns. Two months later I was finally mailed a new watch.
Save yourself the time and by a different watch or simply don’t do any firmware updates until they fix their mess up.

Totally not worth the $650 (incl taxes) I paid. Not a user friendly interface, poor software, dim unreadable screen, no customization in what you see and a hugely overrated battery life. I have a $75 watch that does everything this one does and more, and that one has a four day battery life and I tell it what I want on the screen.
This watch isn’t worth it. I agonized before pulling the trigger and wavered between this and the Garmin Fenix 6 which I’m guessing may also be overpriced and overrated. Do yourself a favour and get a cheap-o watch.

I’ve had my eye on this watch for a long time. I loved the outdoor functions, and wanted something to track heartrate, steps, etc. Finally decided to treat myself and bought it. Well, I was disappointed. You literally move your arm and it counts steps. The first time I put the watch on my wrist, it counted over 20 steps just in putting the watch on, while i was sitting down. I returned it and just bought an Apple Watch instead.
