Feeling very confused of the quality of my watch

So I got a 9 Peak pro some days ago and now that I've had time to experiment with it I can't help but to feel extremely disappointed;

  • The blood oxygen meter is so off it shouldn't exist. Currently posting this with a 81% spo2.

  • The HR monitor is better but still off

  • By extension, the HRV must be off since the HR is more of a vibe

  • The HR sometimes just doesn't work and the watch has to be reboot

  • VO2 max doesn't exist. Although it might need more data points to show something, but tbh at this point I wouldn't be surprised if that too simply didn't work.

  • The watch insists I live subterraneanly at various depths below the sea level, suboptimal, considering I live by the coast.

  • Sleep monitor is ridiculously bad, my 8ish h of sleep is 1h 42m by Suunto standards

  • The strap on this thing is so short it's making me question whether I don't know how to wear a watch or if Suunto doesn't. I don't even have a wide wrist yet it has to sit tight in the narrowest part at max length, how the hell are people supposed to wear this thing?

  • I don't know how they count calories or steps, and I don't have other ways to reliably monitor them, but I am going to assume they too are off.

Am I missing something obvious? I feel like I got scammed buying a watch with a random number generator? What do people use these things for if not for the things they're supposed to measure? I'd love to love this but I'm just left confused, is this the quality to expect from a sports watch?

Edit: thank you for the comments. This market ended up being simply something I wasn't expecting. I have started the refunding process and deleted my account on Suunto. Very unfortunate, it's a local company and I'd love to have loved it.

Hello!

Just got my 9 Peak Pro, happy with it so far, trying to get myself used to the UI. Never had a sportswatch - or any type of watch before.

I have one concern. I assumed the watch would track my sleep sort of "automatically", sensing when movement stops and HR slows down. But in order to track sleep, the watch asked me to input my "usual bedtime".

See one of the main reasons I got the watch was to track my sleep as I work a rather demanding 3-shift and for all intents and purposes don't have a sleep schedule. It's very common for me to stay up for about 36h and sleep for like max 12h, I simply can't tie it to a rigid time of day.

Will the watch just go along and figure out I'm not sleeping when I "should be" and accept that I just might take a 10h nap starting in the afternoo? Or will I have to re-input my expected sleep times every day?

I hope I didn't make my simple question too convoluted! Thanks in advance.
