@Fizzgig or only the vertical week !

@Tieutieu

What would you like to say?

[surfboomerang]

@Fizzgig
@Tieutieu is referring to Suunto’s yearly event “vertical week”

[Tieutieu]

@Fizzgig just that like every year the vertical week is here. It has not usually been linked to products or updates announcements, but, who knows !

Seen today on Instagram : “A sunny welcome to the newest addition to the Suunto Family - Suunto Vertical Solar ! […] Available for adventures from 18.3”

If I understand well, we should have a solar “non titanium” version of the vertical !?

It already appears on Suunto’s webstore : steel solar.

I take that as a very good news, meaning Suunto will bring new features and updates to the SV !

@Tieutieu Interesting! On the South African version of the website the Solar-steel version is listed as cheaper than the Steel non-solar. I assume the other prices will be dropping at some point to reflect this!

@LitchiMonster
Or maybe that’s just a price list ordering issue

[Tieutieu]

@LitchiMonster I assume @sartoric is right.
On French website it’s ok ! Prices well sorted.
Price positioning is cleaver :
For 100€ more than steel you’ve got solar
For 100€ more than solar you’ve got titanium

No Titanium without solar and without OHR? 🤭

@Mff73 said in Vertical : A special announcement?:

No Titanium without solar and without OHR? 🤭

I don’t thinks theres much of a market for a watch without HR nowaday, besides, you would only save less than 50€, on a 600€ watch that’s not “what matters” anymore IMO

As for Titanium non solar, you have the 9peak pro, or the Race that are already filling the gap.

In the podcast that was shared here a few month ago, i recall the Suunto dude saying that Garmin has a watch at every price point from 100 to 3000€, Suunto can’t afford that and all the costs involved and won’t try to compete like that

[Tieutieu]

@Elipsus I think that @Mff73 was just joking !

[Elipsus]

@Tieutieu ohh, that flew right over my head !
