ReAlly ?! (aka SuuntoSmartWatch) (aka Suunto7)

Wear OS? No thanks. Very few are gonna toss their S9 or any other Suunto/Garmin/Polar/Coros watch for one of these things. All day battery life. Wow! Impressive. Meh.
-
I started a thread for Suunto7
-
@Brad_Olwin thanks, yea, saw that after I had already posted. Moved over there to whine
-
finally, Suunto had to compromise with the market,
It’s not my type of watch, but well done! Smart move.

@zhang965 you are very very clever (I had said this again)
-
@zhang965 with a competitor like Garmxx, it’s hard not to. Revenues are driven by the consumer end of the models

@vr2udt
cashcow is more important than flagships -
Suunto can make a power bank as ACCESSOIRE !

and a little forearm bag to carry it -
@TELE-HO said in ReAlly ?! (aka SuuntoSmartWatch) (aka Suunto7):
@zhang965
and a little forearm bag to carry itWHAT?! You haven’t had the power bank surgically implanted in your forearm yet? You are lagging behind.

@fejker
I know, I could have done that while fixing my elbow in September… but I’m still old fashioned -
@zhang965 or a special power bank cover with belt like apple do with their powerbank cases for iphones :D.

You guys have seen the GPS watch out there that’s powered from your “Neo” (Matrix reference) body? So…Not too far fetched. Don’t think it can keep up enough charge for long GPS tracked outings, but still using your body to keep it charged under normal watch use. I forget the name, but I think they just released a V2 version.

@chrish
I think they are advanced in developing the technology but will they be able to meet the athletes high demands? most likely not. that’s why some bold GPS watch maker should get in a joint venture with Matrix and make it happen.I like the idea of infinite “energy” in a watch and that was the reason why I bought my Victorinox Airboss Mechanical… but I’ve got SA sync issues with it

@TELE-HO Maybe you can help: I just can’t find the step counter on my Alliance Automatic …

@Fenr1r
I can say so much: it is not the white square that goes x+1 at midnight -
@TELE-HO Hang on, let me get a pen and paper: this stuff is gold …

@TELE-HO
Yeaaaaa. Don’t think I want a company plugging me into the grid to power their watches.But yea, i think this tech is coming. Garmin with the solar thing, recouping power expended by the body, etc. and battery tech will eventually jump forward at some point.
I’ve never been interested in a “smart watch” like the Apple Watch or WearOS devices because I loathe keeping stuff charged. Headphones and iPhone are plenty. I barely tolerate my Ambit3. I wear a Suunto essential as my daily and only use my Ambit for outings. Definitely don’t want to have to daily charge my watch. Blah!!!
