speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches

trailcafe

@Ivan-Vasilev DCRainmakers tests of the solar variants of Garmin’s bike computer does not show significant battery loadings from the solar power. The only watch that benefits of it is the Instinct solar as far as I know.

Anyone can judge if solar is an advantage or not. I think it’s a nice to have, but battery itself is definitely enough for my needs (Enduro 2).

I use GPS with automatic settings, so it switches between single- and multi-band depending on the signal quality which should end up somewhere between 70-80h of GPS recording…never tested it

If there will be solar charging, it does not necessarily mean “solar like others do it”…

So the rule is: no leaks. No pictures, no names, no links, just discuss what you look for in a new watch, what you don’t want, what you expect.

@skifun Suunto Pro Club price will be just too tempting to resist

Is this a new rule? With the 9 peak pro there were links etc. well before it was released.

@el2thek I think there is no need for further questions and answers on this. We just stick to it. Be happy to be able to catch a glimpse already

@skifun

I hope the price that i see is little bit high but i’ll buy the sand’s model for sure !

@Mi_chael I had no idea that price is already known.

Like little kids making trouble and parents keep telling dont do this, dont do that but kids dont listen But I understand rules, it is bussiness strategy and it involves Suunto staff’s effort and knowledge. I also think most people are happy for Suunto brand for bringing something new to the market and sharing leaks and speculating are part of excitement before the release. No harm is meant on purpose.

This really sounds like you are ashmed about the photo and the name…

Will various models/versions and colors be presented?
For example, one model/version with maps, other model without…

And, what will be the price range? Assuming current prices of S9PP, S9P ans S9B, new Suunto would be in Fénix 7, discounted Epix and Apex Pro 2 price range so competence will be high.

@el2thek I know, in the past only pictures were deleted, but let’s just be positive. If Suunto is going to release a new watch, you all know users of this forum are going to get first hand reviews on release day.

@isazi What I would like is to maybe replace Garmin’s firstbeat with Polar’s (as Casio did). I would like in-house but if that is to high cost to support I would look into replacing the only place Sunnto is a bit off at least for me (the fitness analysis such as resources, sleep…).
