What is going on with Suunto?
-
@BinoWorld-UK Honestly, if someone is missing functionality or thinks the price is too high they shouldn’t buy a device. I know updates are common, but I believe you shouldn’t buy something hoping it will get an update.
In the end if you don’t get an update you won’t lose functionality.

@el2thek We are going around circles here?
This discussion is turning rather pointless. I am seeing few here including you not liking constructive criticism of a slacking company. Do me a favour and don’t jump the on the last message and respond. You are totally missing the point I am making.
I am entitled to my own opinion and what I think of Suunto as a compnay. Btw, my response is based on the original question in this thread so for you to pipe up and tell me what I should do is silly really. I purchased the S7 and yes it did receive the update and so what. It all stopped there 15 months ago. Poor…

@BinoWorld-UK You bought a product that somewhat didn’t meet your needs. That’s fair enough. Though that’s what the product is. Sure there could have been updates, but you didn’t lose any functionality either.
As said before. I’m happy you found a watch that seemingly for now does meet your needs. Which, going by your choice, are quite different to what the S7 had to offer in the first place.
And to stay on this topic, the S3/5/9 (peak) all just got an update.

@freeheeler I actually have an Instinct, an S7, an S9 and a Forerunner 245. I use the Suunto 7 as my daily driver for work. It’s been outstanding. I use the 9 and the 245 for running and ultra’s, and the Instinct for hiking and bashing around. They can all co-exist nicely depending on your use case
The Instinct is actually just a better looking Fenix Suunto 7

@Jeffrey-Tillack I also use a S7 as my daily driver, it’s a fantastic smartwatch, and a S9P for training and such.

@Jeffrey-Tillack
absolutely, I didn’t question why one would use one and the other, or OR the other. I was just curious. -

Anyway - as with many opinion-based discussions: yes, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. There is just no right to shout out this opinion unopposed.
As this is an open forum anyone else can comment and have his or her own view on the topic.
By posting here, you cannot expect that everyone just chimes in. It’s a discussion board. You cannot control the way the discussion takes as well…my2c

@Egika Bottom line is my answer and views are directed to the person asking “what’s is going on with Suunto”
I cannot wait to see their reaction to this diabolical thread.
Nobody is shouting! Chill
Over & out
