Suunto OW202?
-
The sample of the model OW202 is a Sports watch with GPS for tracking outdoor trainings, optical heart rate measurement and BLE connectivity to connect with a smart phone and the Suunto App for recording training logs and analyze training and 24/7 data
-
I’m curious, though, what’s the OW-20* series? Does anyone know the answer to that? If no other watches exist with that model number, this suggests a new line (eg Suunto 11), else, new version of existing line.
-
@ze-stuart I always thought those numbers were relatively random.
-
@ze-stuart
the ones who know keep it a secret, unlike phone manufacturers who fancy leaks in order to push customers desire
-
@freeheeler in the end they all leak it, just timing must be right.
-
@aleksander-h with the 9 Baro being OW-193 and the 9 Peak being OW-194, I don’t think they’re random at all, we just don’t know the pattern Suunto uses to assign them.
If there’s already an OW-201, eh, updated thingy, that’s nice. If there’s no OW-201, it’s exciting.

@dulko79 well said.
-
@ze-stuart a new watch combining diving computer and an outdoor watch maybe?
-
Speculation ONA completely new line of sport watches?
From OW194 of Peak until OW202 you have 8. In other hand you can get big discounts around the world on Suunto products, around 30-40%…
Can be possible?
-
@дима-мельниченко I’d love that.
-
I think it’s a new watch with all the changes from mr-pvc
-
The Suunto 9 got smaller and sleaker. The Suunto 7 got a titanium edition. I’m guessing it’s the Suunto 5 turn to get a new improved version.
-
Suunto 7 with newer android wear?
I think that or a newer 9 with same hardware as the peak, it would make sense for the fans of big watches, for the range…to have a “competitor” to the F6/F6X Sapphire just like the S9P “compeats” with F6SS.
Let’s wait to see.
Honestly I am more curious about software news than the “hardware”. I think with the peak, regarding hardware Suunto is already doing very good. -
@andré-faria said in Suunto OW202?:
Suunto 7 with newer android wear?
Doubt it. Seems like Wear 3.0 right now is an exclusive club consisting of Samsung and Google. Obviously others will get access, but seems they are putting the spotlight on Samsung for now.
-
@andré-faria I doubt it, as no WiFi is listed in the spec: I can’t see an Android Wear not having WiFi. Its only connectivity is Bluetooth and GNSS.
@Aleksander-H your logic is sound, but the 5’s model number is OW-186, and based on the other model numbers I’d expect a new 5 to be OW-187. (Interestingly the 7 is OW-185, making me think OW-18* is mid-tier.)
I’ve done some heavy Googling - and I’m open to have missed something - but I can’t find a Suunto product line that starts with OW-2**. I can’t find a photo of the back of the D5, though.
-
@ze-stuart " I can’t find a photo of the back of the D5, though."
I think its DW-182 -
@t1sugar so it’s not a diving watch then. What about s3? It’s the oldest in the lineup, isn’t it?
-
The 9P was made for adventurer, maybe a new watch for runners ? Is there a baro in the spec ?
-
@ink357 I don’t think the FCC cares about a manometer: only devices that interact with radio waves, so only the Bluetooth and GNSS components are listed.

So, have you found something new?
I’ve checked someting and I think it could be a new suunto 5.
the spartan trainer is ow 163 (released about 2017)
Suunto 5 (Suunto trainer 2) is ow 186 (released about 2019)
and OW 202 could be …?spartan ultra is ow 161 (2016)
S9 is ow 183 (2019)
S9P is OW 194 (2021)Winners Wear Winners

@zhang965 Reading tea leaves and bone cracks, here’s a thought though: a big reason for people to pick up S5 was the size, no? Apart from baro and a few other things, I’d say S9 and S5 are totally equivalent. Now S9P takes the size argument away.
Where does it leave S5? What can it possibly offer over S9P other than price? And what’s gonna get removed feature- or hardware-wise to make said price?
Also, if all recent models of the past few series were codenamed OW-1xx, under 200, wouldn’t it suggest 200+ is something quite new and not a continuation of existing lines?
My bet is a mythical S11, with LifQ OHR sensor package, a new processor and expanded memory capable of running multiple S+ fields and perhaps structured workouts plans from places like TP and FinalSurge. Maybe, a Fenix 6X like 1.4” MIPS display, with ALS similar to A9P. Who knows? Ambit like user programmed data fields via S+ public API and such?
Either that, or a new diving watch that, like Garmin Descent, will combine both daily tracking/sports and diving.
