Well done, but I won't buy any more.

I bought it when I decided to take on my body, because I had serious obesity (so far, I haven’t completely parted with him, but the process is new .). I decided to approach the process thoroughly - with tracking indicators in training, examination before starting a "new life". In general, suunto 9 baro helps me a lot to maintain the regime and track progress. TSS indicators very reliably characterize the state of the body - when you need to take a break, and when, on the contrary, increase the intensity of training. In general, I am satisfied, although the device is more for advanced athletes than for me, but I will strive to match it.

Pros

Excellent autonomy, excellent functionality. For sports, especially in the open air, it is the most. Many write about the dim screen - I do not know. in the bright sun, it is probably dull, but I have never had problems with this. In the training mode, there is a good contrast - in general, the illumination is enough for me to get the necessary information. In fact, the brightness of the screen was sacrificed for the sake of autonomy and durability - after all, sapphire glass . For a year of active wear, it was not possible to scratch. For example, Suunto 7 - with a gorilla is much brighter, but the screen has been slightly rubbed over the year, but not critical. At 9 baro - not a hint of scratches. In general, for a sports device enough. We are pleased with the strength - this is a kind of armored personnel carrier among watches. On trips I don’t take it off my hand - salty, fresh water, diving, swamp, forest - I never got confused so as not to break / drown / scratch. In general, as a sports watch - there are practically no questions for them. This is the second watch from suunto - the first ones were 7. I took these because of the greater functionality and reliability. In general, I use both 7 and 9baro. Everyone has their own niche - 7 is more likely to travel (NFC, Google applications, navigation - consider a minicomputer is always in your pocket) + fitness, 9baro - more for fitness / sports, moreover, for training for results - it tracks more parameters. For athletes, nice buns in the form of strava partners and others. Special thanks for the V0max rating. This is the thing you need

Cons

The pedometer is set up so-so - the usual waving of the arms, even driving a car with active taxiing cheerfully winds up the steps. In this regard, a banal fitness bracelet (I had mi band of different generations) is much more accurate. Sometimes weird with a pulse. Someone writes that it lifts up to 220 - it’s the opposite for me - if the hand is very sweaty, they begin to lower the heart rate, after breaking contact / wiping the hand without even removing the watch - everything returns to normal. But I think this is the problem with all wrist-based heart rate monitors. I will take the breastplate. So far, sleep tracking has not been finished - if you took off your watch before going to bed - it can decide that you are already sleeping and if you then put it on, the sleep assessment will be, for example, sleep 22:00-7:00, sleep duration 6 hours, wakefulness - 3 hours Somehow crooked, but I think they will finish it. Sometimes the assessment of sleep and my own feelings do not match: it happens that the assessment of sleep is good, but you feel overwhelmed, and vice versa - you are completely rested, and the assessment of sleep is bad . In general, I have not yet understood whether this function is useful to me or not, just talk about her and everything. When finished, it will definitely be useful .
