Swipe up again to see sun and moon data. You can see the time when the sun rises and sets,

Swipe down or press and hold the middle button to go back.
Be sure to have your altitude reference value set correctly (see 3.16. Altimeter). The altitude of
your current location can be found from most topographic maps or major on-line map services
such as Google Maps.
Changes in local weather conditions affect altitude readings. If local weather changes often,
you should reset the altitude reference value regularly, preferably before starting your next
journey.
Automatic alti-baro profile
Weather and altitude changes both cause a change in air pressure. To handle this, Suunto 9
Peak Pro automatically switches between interpreting changes in air pressure as altitude or
weather changes based on your movement.
If your watch senses vertical movement, it switches to measuring altitude. When you are
viewing the altitude graph, it is updated with a maximum delay of 10 seconds.
If you are at a constant altitude (less than 5 meters of vertical movement within 12 minutes),
your watch interprets air pressure changes as weather changes and adjusts the barometer
graph accordingly.
