@bulkan yes, but how many are there? I’d say you need pretty high cardinality to test all the functions the way you need to discover bugs.

I think someone said once:

“The first rule of field tester club is you do not talk about field tester club”

[isazi]

@bobmiles that would be cool, but needs an amount of resources to manage that maybe Suunto does not have. Garmin is a billion dollar company.

I forgot to mention the second rule:

2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about FIELD TESTER CLUB.

Oooooh say what?

@isazi
under commit and over perform

@surfboomerang
I think this club we don’t talk about needs a telemark skier

[surfboomerang]

@freeheeler You’re totally right!
Now that you mention it, I also didn’t see a windsurfer in the video

@darxmurf I fully agree to this concerning features that are not revolutionary new. So if Suunto would release Structured Intervalls, they could announce that and I don’t think that this would be a drastic drawback - just for example: Polar announced in spring of 2021 that they would bring a major firmware update to the Grit X (non Pro) towards the end of 2021 and detailed what features the update would bring (nothing new, but features that were formerly not available for the Grit X) - and they released this update in January now. You can read posts of a lot of happy Grit X users in Facebook now because they eagerly awaited this update - and therefore kept their watch and stayed with Polar as a brand.

The Telemark skier in the club moved on as you can clearly watch.

@brad_olwin
now that you mention it, I can recall …but there’s a gap to be filled now

[darxmurf]

@isazi it’s todaaaaaaaaay where is it, where is it?

Depending on the Timezone in use, it can be today for a long time

[freeheeler]

@darxmurf
even tomorrow can be today
but it will be within reason, since Suunto is a European based company

I’m in New Zealand and there’s less than 4 hours until it’s Wednesday

You know, those days with headquarters in Europe, IT Support in India and production chain in china, things can turn complicated

Go for a burger at Ferg in queenstown

Go for a burger at Ferg in queenstown

Last time I went there I waited over an hour and it was okay, nothing amazing and TBH not worth the wait time. But now thanks to COVID there’s no tourists so it’s nearly as quick as ordering at McDonalds

I’m in Queenstown every other month, one of my favourite places in the south island but I can’t say I ever visit Fergburger

[darxmurf]

@miniforklift well I have to say I was there in 2011 but I keep a good souvenir or this rib eye burger

[isazi]

Postponed to mid week, sorry… But this is why Suunto does not announce updates usually

[markytarky]

@isazi the FW update?
