speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches
-
@Ivan-Vasilev The last watches had been military tested… I would like Suunto continue that path
-
Yes, it’s look like the bezel will turn but in fact i can’t understand why. There isn’t segment in the bezel.

I hope that, if a new watch comes, it will have long battery life and good accuracy for GPS/altimeter. And it needs a screen that I can look at easily. If it has this, I’ll order one on release day. If not, I will keep my S9 Peak for a while longer.

@isazi My guess is something similar to polar maybe where the central timekeeping info is static and you can ‘rotate’ screens based on what you want to see?!
Contrary I would love for the bezel to half-rotate as someone said (like zoom on camera). Just imagine scrolling through screens while training with the bezel - cool
-
Whatever the shape, weight, or material, I hope Suunto keeps maintaining a simple and effective user interface, which is the main reason I love this brand…
-
Did I miss anything or why are we talking about rotating bezels? That’s a feature that didn’t even cross my mind when thinking about new Suunto watches.
-
@Ivan-Vasilev I suspect the bezel is rotating. For me, your arguments against having a rotating bezel are totally valid.
-
@skifun I don’t think it will rotate because I don’t think Suunto will be adding such a complication to a newly designed uX (if think s9pp has this new UX ) plus adding a moving part (rotation) would mean a very difficult hardware implementation to maintain waterresistancy at 100m …
but let’s see -
So much buzz today, it has not been like that I do not remember
-
@dulko79 it’s the spring buzz!
-
@isazi since when 5cm is huge?
-
Did I live under a rock lately?
New watches, rumours, rotating bezels… -
I think this is the long awaited successor of the Ambit series. IMHO the S9 needed nearly 4 years to come to the same feature level.
I hope we will see maps with routing capabilities and dual frequency GNSS. I would like to see at least 3 S+ apps at once and the possibility to upload a gpx track during an activity. Maybe something like ClimbPro and a PacePro feature which works better for trailrunning with a slower pace on steeper climbs would round up my wishlist.
A nice to have is autodetect uphills and downhills and set laps based on this natively (not as S+ app) and location based laps (e.g. a set waypoint in a tracks triggers a lap). TBT navigation but ETA/ETE/distance/elevation to the next set waypoint (not TBT direction) would also be very nice.Let‘s see what we will get soon
-
@thanasis I hope it will not rotate.

@trailcafe said in speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches:
the possibility to upload a gpx track during an activity
you can already do that
-
I hope Suunto don’t make as Garmin with a lot of models like titanium or stainless steel, solar or not…

@Mi_chael
Don’t you like being able to choose? -
I prefer Suunto do what they always done:
Quality
Fiability
Accuracywhat answer to the marketing rules.
-
@Mi_chael
We agree. I choose Suunto for the same reason. Having more choice doesn’t always mean sacrificing those values
