Suunto 9 Peak Pro Features New Processor, Battery Life

The Suunto 9 Peak Pro GPS multisport watch, created with 100 percent renewable energy, features a new processor for better data collection along with longer battery life.

The watch is the first from Finland-based Suunto to have its carbon footprint calculated and fully compensated with Verified Carbon Units*. During its lifespan it creates only 7,5 kg CO2e — the equivalent of driving a fossil fuel car for 44 km.

The Suunto 9 Peak Pro offers rugged durability and elegance. Building on the award-winning design of the Suunto 9 Peak, it’s extremely tough. Yet it is one of the thinnest (10,8 mm) and lightest GPS sport watches in its class. It blends in everywhere, suits smaller wrists and can handle any environment.

Tough, and Tested

Suunto 9 Peak Pro is designed to be long-lasting and repairable to minimize waste and the impact on the environment. Made with the highest grade of materials, Suunto threw everything at it to test its mettle – ice, sand, drops and shocks, pressure and salt. Athletes around the world tested it and it met the military standard of toughness**.

“The Suunto 9 Peak Pro was engineered with a new, more powerful chipset architecture that boosts the performance to a new level while having the best in class battery life compared to similar sized products on the market,” says Vice President of Product Sami Männistö. “The new user interface, with bigger icons and digits, as well the use of white and color background elements, make the watch easier to operate and read during sports, allowing sports enthusiasts to focus better on what they do best.”

Battery Life?

The Suunto 9 Peak Pro offers the best battery life of any Suunto watch, with three battery modes: Performance, Endurance and Tour. The battery lasts for 21 days in daily use before requiring a charge, 40 h in Performance mode, 70 h in Endurance mode and 300 h in Tour mode.

The Suunto 9 Peak Pro can connect with up to four satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU) and up to 32 individual satellites simultaneously. This results in greater accuracy when exercising in challenging GPS conditions, like below tall buildings or in deep mountain valleys.
