Thumbs down Ugly M9

My M9 totally shut down again.

I got M9 after 1 year waiting last year.

I found it takes at least 5 minutes for GPS start up under unblocked sky. GPS takes lots of battery power. I wonder the battery can last more than 20 minutes when GPS on.

After 2 battery charges, it shut down. I called Korean dealer and it refused to fix it because they don't import M9. I called Niche Retail and it refused to fix it because they only sell. I called Suunto America and it refused to fix it becuase I am not living in the USA. I called Suunto Headquarter and they can fix it if I pay round trip.

In the mean time it suddenly started to be charged.

The cover seperated twice, however, I can put it back. I was lucky not to lost the cover. Otherwise I would have to order to the Headquarter.

After 2 more charges (perhaps 4 - 5 charges after purchase, about a year after purchase) it shut down again. It was 2 months ago. From time to time I hook M9 to the charger expecting to revive it. Not this time yet.

I hope prospecting M9 users understand its limitation and possible Suunto support.
