Suunto 9 Discounts
-
@Brad_Olwin i don’t like maps in Garmin watches. Navigation must be simple to read in a small screen like a watch. And like navigation implementation as there is in S9. Maybe the only missing is distance made and distance to be reach on a route in same screen. I love auto router programme in Suunto app. Very intuitive. I hope Suunto Plus give important things like auto intervals detector.

If A4 would be released with same screen, same functionality like A3 (intervals on MC app, but now on SA) , same high gain antenna that pick up signal under 2ft thick reinforced concrete ceiling, even an old two year old sony chipset that S9b and has, extended lap data like S9b does, I would buy it in a heart beat.
I don’t care about size, I want robust, good contrast glare free screen that will clear when you glance at it in heavy rain, snow or extreme vibration environments like piston powered single engine powered vintage ww2 airplanes.
I used A3Ps backlight to run on single tracks at night.This cannot be done on a single watch. I like S series for every day, and for which S9b minus sw bugs is perfect for me.
But I also need something like Ambit, a military style robust in every way, big screen no nonsense expedition style gps tank with lockable buttons.

If there is a product with S9 battery and a offline map like S7 I will immediately buy it …

I am so passionate about these watches that I can be honest with myself and already be sure that I will buy suunto 9’s successor, whether it is an evolution of the current one or something truly new.
Having said that, I don’t see any major hardware innovations on the horizon other than the new generation batteries, for which I fear we will have to wait two (?) Years.
I am among those who like browsing exactly as it is now, but it is only MY use. When I am in the mountains in places unknown to me or already my exact track to follow, it is really very unlikely that I follow others and often I still have a plan B or C for the return, originally thought.
If suunto gave us the opportunity to create an itinerary even in the absence of data connectivity to synchronize it immediately with the watch, for me it would already be the top.
(cartographic) Map navigation can only worsen autonomy, other brands teach us.
Rather than investing in being, I would like Suunto to bring new software features aboard Suunto 9 or its successor, without me indicating which ones.
The key to keeping current users and “stealing” them from competitors is that: investing on heads, on programmers. But even this is a speech made many times.

@Saketo-Nemo the only three major hardware innovations at corner that i ser are: Less consumption processors to accomodate amoled screens, graphene batteries much better than lithium, and gps chipsets with dual frequency with low consumption.

@Luís-Pinto
the problem of amoled screens I don’t think are the processors, but the technology itself, very energetic.
graphene batteries? Are you sure it’s close technology? As long as I don’t hear about it on cell phones, I’m afraid there will be no hope for us sports watches -
@Saketo-Nemo but if you reduce a little more processor energy, more battery you will have. But the real game changet will be graphene battery. Yes Samsung will launch new models with this technology.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos serious? Well in smartphones sometimes you have issues in seeing so is logic what you say, yes.

In the future, I would still like to see transreflective screens in sports watches

We have been talking about the successor of lithium for years, but there is still nothing on the market. -
@Saketo-Nemo this pandemic is delaying everything.

Yup. I just hate amoleds. Even cannot see my smartphone.
I run with the s7 in Greece with polarized glasses, couldn’t see a thing.
