I can share my experience with athletes from my athletics club.
Most have a garmin. Hardly anybody uses the metrics that their watch provides. If you tell them a Suunto is way cheaper than a garmin and even the lower tier models have maps they are interested. People aren’t busy with heritage or leica comparisons.
For me it’s simple. I like to record my activities, keep an eye on pace and heartrate during races, and use navigation a lot, preferably in a small formfactor and don’t have to charge very often. Any watch that provide that with a minimum of annoyances is great. Forerunner 965 had loads of annoyances, race s considerable less.
The rest is a discussion about how Suunto should make a watch that is 100% trailered to that person’s wishes. Maybe nice for the discussion but for commercial reasons not going to happen.
