Full titanium black

@freeheeler is this finally the 1.4 display size version?

[freeheeler]

@mountainchris
unfortunately no… if it was my everlong requested S9P XL, I would have pre-ordered right at the moment when @isazi has posted the link

[JorgeFD]

@isazi wow! Yesterday I bought a 5 peak at Suunto.com today it costs 50€ less

[krakra]

@freeheeler probably not. They are asking why nobody preordering it

[Brad_Olwin]

@jorgefd Contact support, I am sure they can work something out.

[isazi]

The preordering now works.

[Brad_Olwin]

@isazi Now available in the US for $1099. That is expensive, right in line with Garmin:)

@brad_olwin
…a bit off-topic, but I see similar things happening with Pixel slowly but steady approaching the price tags of iphones

@krakra Suunto confirmed the new titanium bracelet is DLC coated, which is far superior to the PVD coating on the current black model. It doesn’t specifically state that the watch itself is DLC, but I would assume it is or it wouldn’t match the bracelet exactly.

So yes, it should be far better than the normal black version as far as resistance to scratches / peeling. I have a few DLC coated knives that I’ve put through hell and haven’t scratched the finish yet… like all things though, you can get high and low quality DLC coatings as well.

Edit: provided the original is PVD, though I can’t find anything confirming that - just going by the complaints I’ve seen from people sayings its relatively easy to scratch, which wouldn’t be the case if it was DLC.

Want it! But I do not need the Ti metal strap. I hope black Ti also as custom option with silicone strap possible later…

[freeheeler]

@mountainchris
a silicone strap is already included in the package

edit: does anyone know anyone who has ordered a full titanium version?

[DMytro]

@freeheeler nah, pixels were expensive from the first model on. I think they actually have gotten cheaper over the iterations. By the way, who needs a regular pixel, if one could wait for an ‘a’ model XD

[Brad_Olwin]

@freeheeler Thinking about it…

[freeheeler]

@brad_olwin
alright

[sartoric]

a message for the Suunto WEB guys … customizer doesn’t work on Italian site

@brad_olwin said in Full titanium black:

@freeheeler Thinking about it…

that would be my choice if I could get rid of the expensive strap

[isazi]

Shipping starts today.

[markytarky]

@isazi yeah the site says “in stock”

[Chris Conway]

Just pulled the trigger… will update when it comes in… the DLC coating got me.

[Brad_Olwin]

@chris-conway Awesome. Let us know how you like it and show some pictures.

[krakra]
