New Suunto watch coming

[seanvk]

Well, I thought my Suunto Race was arriving on Monday. But it turns out the DHL shipment notification was for the watch band I also ordered. And that came early on Friday.

I ordered the Suunto Race Titanium on the 17th but do not have a shipment notification. Just an order confirmation. I confused the shipment notification of the watch band. So I messaged Suunto on Facebook to see what’s up.

@seanvk The situation is not complicated, the Titanium version was a paper launch, not real. No one has managed to get a Titanium Race until now, maybe some samples in the US.

Perhaps Suunto was a bit surprised about the new Polar, and the release of SR was accelerated because they they didn‘t want to loose customers to Polar? And now, they have problems with the availability?

[isazi]

@SuperFlo75 Nope, launch was planned for that date already during summer, something must have gone wrong with production or shipment from China

[GiPFELKiND]

@isazi do you know if suunto race will also available in other colours? I saw Pictures where the Titanium is in a purple colour named Amethyst, in steel version a blue colour named midnight, and a white Option named birch! Any infos If this is real or fake news?!

[Tieutieu]

@GiPFELKiND not yet, It will come later

[GiPFELKiND]

@Tieutieu thank you

[Marius Jacobsen Eggerud]

@SuperFlo75 and probably loose customer due to lack of communication. They must have known the Titanium version would be delayed, why not update availability date on website prior to launch?

[isazi]

@GiPFELKiND not sure these pictures were part of Suunto’s planned launch, and we’re kinda leaked by media Maybe next year there will be more colors, for now it’s black or titanium.

[SuperFlo75]

@Marius-Jacobsen-Eggerud Yes, there is really a lack of communication… it would be better to tell the customers ‚this product will be available at xxx‘…

No rush guys! Santa Claus will bring it to you

@craigeggleton That is exactly how mine is going. Mine went OH, GA, FL, back to OH, and is back in ATL GA. I live right outside Atlanta.

[Lechamoix]

@Tieutieu Too bad you didn’t take the Update option

[Frederick Rochette]

@GiPFELKiND Don’t know but waiting for the Birch one…

If you would have the chance to buy the Suunto vertical solar version for the same price as the Suunto race. Which would you buy? Is it a no brainer or is the race the one you would nevertheless buy? Thanks
