speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches

[dulko79]

Suunto IG reposted stories of testers I guess, hinting new watch is just before the release. Does a cool looking bottle come with a new watch?

[isazi]

@dulko79 oh Suunto is teasing us now

[dulko79]

@isazi it seems so , those boxes look really tempting.

[isazi]

@dulko79 I believe that the boxes with a bottle are for the ambassadors, not us

[Tieutieu]

@dulko79 it killes me…I see a looonnnggg week of suffering waiting for final specs !! and very likely ordering/pre-ordering !!

[dulko79]

@isazi haha I know. But some small accessories could be added to watch. After all, this forum users are also mini ambassadors.

[dulko79]

@Tieutieu it will be quick and based on the leaks it seems the stock will be available at the lauch.

Nooooo

Guys I am super excited
Btw the mid button of my s9b is not working properly (after a press the button doesn’t get back). I want to send it to Suunto support to fix it but I don’t want to have a free wrist. How long does it take from pre-order to ordering/shipping for new watch?
Thx

@dulko79 and on at least one of the (previous) IG posts from the various ambassadors the new Vertical can be seen worn.

Some time ago I sent my A3P for the same reason and iirc it took less than a week from .it

[Andi Buzer]

@Freezer so you mean someone who’s name starts with a p ?

[Freezer]

@Andi-Buzer, actually no, one with a g. But the one with a p is also flashing it. Soon it will be the whole alphabet.

[Jurjen]

Maybe the bottle is some kind of external barometer that is required by the watch.

[Ketoohs]

Got my finger on the trigger.

Hope it’s a worthy upgrade over 9p.

[isazi]

@Ketoohs I hope it is. What I would miss is just the size, I really like the size of the 9P (and 9PP), it is so light, barely noticeable, and all rumors point at a larger watch.

[Ketoohs]

@isazi well I really hope the size iz 49mm and the screen is bigger. It is one of my biggest drawbacks with the 9p. Especially when I run a structured run I can sometimes barely see what it says.

The other thing is lack of power.

On the wish side there is treadmill accuracy, and hrv,sleep, life analytics.

[mikekoski490]

@isazi I agree. I have always had larger watches - from Suunto to Garmin to Coros - but I currently have the 9PP on a grey Suunto microfiber strap and it’s only 46 grams. It is easily the most comfortable ‘wrist device’ I have ever had, and the best looking. Hoping the upcoming announcement has a few upgrades and bug fixes for the 9PP too, since I bought it for its improved internals and ability to update to more advanced features!

[isazi]

@mikekoski490 the 9PP is not forgotten, it has a substantial update coming (May? June?) to the firmware for what I know, and if there is a new watch coming I would bet that all features that are not hardware dependent will also come to the 9PP.

[Steven Limmer]

@isazi what about us poor Peak neighbours? Any hardware updates in the pipeline? It’s been 6 months since anything? The app improvements have been brilliant, especially the Suunto Coach feature, but would love to know if you can get more out of the older watches.
