Suunto has launched its latest flagship sportswatch called the 9 Peak, boasting the Finnish brand’s thinnest and most powerful model to date.
“The 9 Peak draws its inspired from our by the award-winning Suunto 9 Baro, which has been designed for adventures and peak experiences, in a sleek form factor that fits seamlessly on the wrist for ultimate comfort,” says Suunto.
According to Suunto, 9 Peak can provide up to 170 hours of GPS recording capacity in Tour mode, blood oxygen measurement and a full battery charge in one hour, making it the ideal match for the user’s “high expectations for a sports wearable companion, training tool and adventure partner”.
“When we design a new watch, we start by assessing the desired user experience and combine that with our latest technology developments. We found that many people wanted all the features of the Suunto 9 Baro, but in a smaller, streamlined form factor, without compromising on battery life or the feature set. Our team of designers and engineers worked closely together to develop Suunto 9 Peak as an answer to this need,” says Heikki Norta, Suunto’s president. “Building on our heritage of 85 years crafting products for adventure, we are proud to release this watch with a new minimalistic Nordic design.”
The 9 Peak comes with all of the industry leading features the Suunto 9 family is known for, including 80-plus sport modes like running, hiking, mountain biking, skiing and swimming, customizable screens to show the most relevant data for your exercise, an intelligent battery management system, accurate wrist-based heart rate monitoring, in-depth weather insights and expansive on-watch navigation capabilities.
All-new upgrades for the Suunto 9 Peak include:
Additionally, the Suunto app integrates with the 9 Peak, enabling users to effectively plan routes with sport-specific heatmaps and popular starting points, which can be built and transferred to the watch for offline navigation. The mobile app also allows users to discover new locations, create points of interest and a look back on previous adventures with personal heatmaps. Moreover, the sync speed between the 9 Peak and the Suunto app is now doubled thanks to Bluetooth 5.
“You learn quickly while traveling that having gear you can trust can mean the difference between a life changing experience and a failure,” says Chris Burkard, Professional Photographer, Global Adventurer, and newest member of the Suunto Brand Ambassador Team. “The Suunto products for me epitomize adventure worthy equipment and that’s why I trust them in the harshest of conditions and for prolonged use. It’s been hard to find something that feels as comfortable on my hand as a camera, the Suunto 9 Peak may have just secured its spot.”
The Suunto 9 Peak will be available in two different styles with four nature inspired colors: Granite Blue Titanium and Birch White Titanium, made with sapphire glass and grade 5 titanium and All Black and Moss Gray, made with sapphire glass and stainless steel.
The Titanium models will sell for $699.00, while the Stainless steel models will sell for $569.00
