Many wearable and sports manufacturers emphasise sustainability and circularity nowadays, which is great news, as the planet’s ecosystem is indeed in danger. And while we aren’t trying to pretend that a low-carbon emission GPS watch is going to save the planet, it’s certainly not a bad thing that the new Suunto 9 Peak Pro only generates 7.5 kg of CO2e during its whole lifespan!
The Suunto 9 Peak Pro is built on the design of theSuunto 9 Peak, a stylish multisport watch, but the new version hones in long-lasting construction and repairability to “minimise waste and the impact on the environment”, Suunto says. People criticised the Suunto 9 Peak for being a bit sluggish, and Suunto listened: the new Suunto 9 Peak Pro was engineered with a new, more powerful chipset architecture that “boosts the performance of the watch to a new level”, Suunto adds.

Thankfully, the improved performance didn’t negatively affect battery life – as a matter of fact, the Suunto 9 Peak Pro has the best battery life of any Suunto watch yet, with three battery modes: Performance, Endurance and Tour. The battery lasts for 21 days in daily use, 40 h in Performance mode, 70h in Endurance mode and 300h in Tour mode. There is also fast charging: the Suunto 9 Peak Pro charges to 100% in 1 hour or 10 hours of training time after charging for 10 minutes.
As for GPS performance, the watch can connect with up to four satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU) and up to 32 individual satellites simultaneously! It’s not clear whether it can connect to multiple satellitesystemssimultaneously, but the GPS stats look promising nevertheless.
