speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches

[Frederick Rochette]

From what I could see, on the Titanium solar, the circular band around the screen (not the bezel) is a bit grey whereas it is black on the Black. It looks strange and seems to penalize the aesthetics of the watch. Let’s see what it looks like in reality. An intermediate titanium version without the solar would be interesting.
Let’s wait to see the quality of this screen, especially in terms of readability.

We will all know in 24 hours. I understand the many reasons to being skeptic of solar, I was also very skeptic until not too long ago.

@isazi Do you know if there will be video presentation and link that we can view it live? Thanks

[isazi]

@Hristijan-Petreski I do not know of any presentation, at 10:00 the product page on Suunto’s website will go live, and reviewers will publish their reviews.

@surfboomerang said in speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches:

@Freezer according to the leaks it does make a huge difference in watch mode: 60days vs 1 year.
In GPS performance mode much less difference: 60hrs vs 85hrs

Just by how things were written I interpreted this difference to be down to whether you are using single or dual band GPS?..

• Up to 60 hours in the most accurate dual-band GNSS tracking mode
• 85 hours of workout tracking with accurate GPS setting

I can’t see how solar would be able to provide an additional 15 hours, I think that’s way too optimistic

You’ll probably be surprised then

@Frederick-Rochette if you look on the solar versions of the Garmin instict you can see the same. They have a very vissible “redish” tint, while the non solar are quite black/dark. I guess that’s the same with all solar watches…?

…so far…

Since we are interested in new things in this topic, will Suunto be coming up with new version of the HR strap? One that can connect to 2 or more devices? Maybe include some running metrics like the Garmin’s HRM?

[Frederick Rochette]

And nothing about HRV test…?

[Brad_Olwin]

@MiniForklift As you are aware Suunto has a group of field testers and does extensive internal testing. Once you see the official release information don’t forget what I wrote in the first sentence.

something known about the thickness of the new vertical ?

[aroo7]

what I’m most curious about is whether communication with bike trainers will be improved, and whether it will eventually be possible to pair more than one hr device

Seems on sales on rakut… With pictures of the maps. Looks very nice

I dont see anywhere some kind of announcement or countdown, strange.
Are we sure for tomorrow?

[v.sacre]

Putting everything in place for tomorrow:

• F5 touch operational
• enough money on bank account
• champagne in the fridge

[surfboomerang]

@v-sacre do not forget to tell your boss you have VERY important meeting and you cannot be disturbed,

[EzioAuditore]

@surfboomerang I don’t know about the rest but I am really coming down with something today

[v.sacre]

@surfboomerang almost forgot that one but I luckily had a meeting cancelled 🤩
