Suunto's newest watch is the 5 Peak

[TrailEyes]

Hey, if Garmin can drop new devices this week, then so can Suunto!

I haven’t physically gotten my hands on Suunto’s 5 Peak, but as an editor, I got a sneak peek at pics and details on the new device, as well as having some (but not all) of my questions answered. Had to hold off until today to release the news, though: https://www.actionhub.com/news/2022/01/20/suunto-5-peak-sport-watch-is-released/

@traileyes I knew it for quite some time, didn’t know the pricing. I was interested in it. And I am pleased to see the $329 label. I think this is for Suunto to sell more. Good looking watch with S9P features (well, almost all of them) and this price. Bravo SUUNTO

@traileyes
interesting… as a completely uninformed person I am very surprised. Especially about the naming… what does “peak” actually mean now?
This watch has no barometric sensor and I could understand that this is basically an S9P without baro, hence an S9 (nonbaro) successor and sibling to the S9P as S9 was to S9B…?!

@markytarky awesome - thanks. The S5 is my favourite Suunto and this seems to be a great successor

[Mff73]

Cool, thanks.
No baro ? not for me
Wait for next, next one.

@traileyes is there any release date known? I couldn’t find anything on Suunto website, nor any other source.
I wonder if release of the watch will be aligned with release of some cool new features, like those that S9p introduced.

@freeheeler peak maybe stands for all the things that can not be measured… peak moments… I would say also lightweight, thin… feels comfortable… Also old 5 didn’t have a Baro

[TrailEyes]

@dmytro Suunto’s PR firm told me that the launch of the 5 Peak is today (Jan. 20), but yeah, I hadn’t seen anything on the site yet either. I def wanted to link to it in the article.

@traileyes this 5 Peak isn’t on the Suunto website yet. Does that mean that you’re a bit early with your anouncement?

[freeheeler]

@mff73
as mountain men we need baro
I am really curious about next releases, too

[A Former User]

@freeheeler maybe S11 or S9 peak max

[wmichi]

This is a nice looking watch and very lightweight - great! But where are the innovations? Look elsewhere. Maybe next time.

[markytarky]

@freeheeler it’s shame they didn’t include the baro sensor. I think it will be worth it, even if the price will jump to $349 due to its presence. But they know better. I’m still wondering that Coros pace 2 for $199 has everything inside. How the heck they are doing it?

Cheap labor?

Let’s wait for full S5P specs, but if S5P had baro I’m not sure if I would need S9P anymore

[A Former User]

@markytarky 245 doesn’t have a Baro also. I like the idea of a minimalistic watch (lightweight) for flat running…

[freeheeler]

@markytarky
I don’t know any details about that watch and I might be on thin ice here… but if Suunto had added a baro sensor to S5P it would be an S9P, or am I completely wrong?

[TrailEyes]

Looks like at 4:15 am U.S. Eastern Time, there will be a video premiere of some sort spotlighting the 5 Peak, for those who are eager to see more of the new watch: https://youtu.be/u-bg-fNg-t0

Maybe there‘s not only the adaptive training plan on the watch, but finally also user defined structured workout support introduced. If so, Suunto would make me very happy

Let me guess: there’s still no compass.
