New Suunto watch coming

@Tieutieu
To me it looks more like you “can answer” , not “having a phone call”

The Suunto Race looks like a great watch! As a Vertical Solar owner, I’m wondering how this would have affected my purchase decision if they came out at the same time. The Vertical, while made in Finland, is much more expensive!

I don’t see many people choosing the Vertical over the Race going forward, I think Vertical sales will take a big dive. That being said, I’m happy I didn’t wait and bought my Vertical when it came out. I’ve had a good few months with my adventure companion!

@Tieutieu Shokz Openrun has a mic, I don’t see why the Wing wouldn’t have one. It would be highly disappointing that at this price, you couldn’t have a phone call with it.

Not about this new race but about wings - sorry for digression => “answering call function”. That meens it has a mic ?

Yes, is actually has 2 mics built in.
Plus it has some other innovative features, like head movement control and built in LED lights.

This is what the SA connection is for: to configure those features

I can’t - am not a moderator.
But also not neccessary - additional information always is welcome

@Egika Oh, I didn’t know and I didn’t want to double posts.

So I understand that we’ve bought an SV, which is SUUNTO’s top-of-the-range model, especially in terms of price, and that we’re not going to get all the features (precise sleep and nap tracking, threshold detection) of the Race, which is a much cheaper watch. Do you who don’t work for SUUNTO understand this and are happy with it? I really don’t! If I want a complete watch, I have to buy the RACE, right?

I’m kinda bummed that this watch is made in China, In my point of view, the “made in Finland” thing really set apart Suunto from the crowd (and notably from polar, another Finish company owned by a Chinese company that makes sport watch) and I love that my S9PP is “kinda locally made” (I’m French)
I hope that they will continue to have a good lineup made in Finland, its really hard nowadays to find tech made in Europe

It’s what Suunto did for Suunto 5 vs suunto9, s9 was released without vo2max, but S5 has it.

Yes it’s a leisheng watch

@Frederick-Rochette If you weight eu salaries to china salaries I do not think SV is top of the line any more. Oh and about the lag… DesFit says they added more memory?! If this is true than the SV buyers were… well S9P buyers… (the one followed by the race the others by the peak pro). So teribble desicions there imho.

Nope. (And I have some kind of Deja Vu here (have to look the topic up later maybe).)

You WILL absolutely get all those additional training features (TSB, HRV, CTL in the Vertical and even in S9PP). Just give it maybe another month for ironing out those firmwares.

@EzioAuditore I bought the 9P and then a couple of months later the 9PP came out, then bought the Vertical and the same story happens with the Race…

EzioAuditore

@Ketoohs We human beings learn from our mistakes right? Fool me once, fool me twice…

nseslija

@Ketoohs why to change Vertical? Amoled?

EzioAuditore

@Ketoohs But appart of the crown which is quite cool I still would get the SV given we get the same metrics as the Race, except if the ‘they added more memory is true’ and the SV lags as before even after the FW. Then I do not know if there is future for the SV next to the Race.

Dude, I know, we, in this Forum, know, you can’t seem to be able to not say it in one different thread every other day, there’s really no need, especially when I said
" notably from polar, another Finish company owned by a Chinese company that makes sport watch"

That’s not the point, the point is that the Vertical (and before) where designed by Suunto in Finland, and made by Suunto factory in Finland, while the Suunto race, while designed in Finland, is not made by the Suunto factory in FInland, but in China
