speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches

fluca

@Umer-Javed I am actually a relatively big guys with a relatively large wrist. Up untill some month ago a watch case smaller than 47mm was impossible to buy for me. I thought for instance, the S9PP @ 42mm would have looked too little and weird on my wrist and was one of those guys ‘waiting for the big model’. On the other hand I was intrigued by the snorkeling functionality (Yes I like apnea too) and wanted to give a try to S9PP. At first, coming from A3 and S9B, S9PP looked too litle weird and almost embarising on me, felt like a toy. A forced my self too keep it 4 days and see if I could get used to it. And actually it was the case. When I tryied to get back to S9B it looked too big and uncomfortable. So I choosen to stay on S9PP and sold S9B. Not a regret since then. It looks fantastic on my wrist and is conforrable when I do crossfit, weight training etc…
So I am an advocate for relatively smaller watch now and do not feel the need for a bigger one, if it does not introduce any ground-breaking functionality.
But to be honest, S9PP does satisfy me completely as an selft-trained athlete and almost completely as an adventurer.
But I am extremely happy that suunto is putting on the table new watches and hope it enlarges its customer base.

There is still Space and time for more dreams
A lot has been revealed already, but it is very different from the paper to the use.
I believe and hope that if Suunto took the time to implement certain features is because they did it differently and in a way they think it is not a gimmick but truly useful.

@isazi no more leak hunting, no more guessing, just facts and nice photos

Suunto news make us anything else but sick on the other hand, it could be defined as an accident: “…an unforseen circumstance that prevents you from being able to work…”

I am guessing if I can pass this as a training/conference. So working without working and afterwards the networking with people (this forum) where we state what we learned (about the new watch)… Oh and the preorder would be the Gala of the evening

isazi

@Hristijan-Petreski let’s see, I’ll watch this announcement, check the forum, and if it is a new watch and it fits my requirements, I’ll also hit the preorder button on day 1.

Suunto IG reposted stories of testers I guess, hinting new watch is just before the release. Does a cool looking bottle come with a new watch?

isazi

@dulko79 oh Suunto is teasing us now

dulko79

@isazi it seems so , those boxes look really tempting.

isazi

@dulko79 I believe that the boxes with a bottle are for the ambassadors, not us

Tieutieu

@dulko79 it killes me…I see a looonnnggg week of suffering waiting for final specs !! and very likely ordering/pre-ordering !!
