@Luís-Pinto you are the one that made the most useful observations

It has external gps antenna like Spartan Trainer and Ambit.
And it has BAROMETER!!!

@johann-fuehrer Hm, user manual and photos to be available at the end of September? Bummer. So much for imminent release.

@ColdBeer
Very nice. How about movescount?

Barometer? Really? This could be very good add, since my SSSW is totally inaccurate in terms of altitude (it’s always between 50-20% of the real accumulated meter gained)

@NickK I suppose, it will be released before, the end of September is already passed high season…

@NickK If you check for other models (like Suunto 9) for when the permission for the documents were set and then later when the device was released, ist sometimes months earlier. It’s different to Garmin, which have 45-90 days after approval for the documents and then present the stuff some 1-5 weeks earlier. The date from Suunto for public availability is not realy useable for such an prediction, it seems that they always use 6 months … Also check Suunto 9, which was released some months before the User manual was approved to be shown in the public at the FCC webpages…

@johann-fuehrer I hope you are right. If I remember correctly, S3F was announced around April, so we are getting into “news from Suunto” territory. Still, the dates are there. Hopefully, Suunto was just being conservative.

April will be 5 months since last firmware… Crossing fingers
