      @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

                  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

                      @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…

                          Don’t you like being able to choose?

                            I prefer Suunto do what they always done:

                            Quality
                            Fiability
                            Accuracy

                            what answer to the marketing rules.

                              We agree. I choose Suunto for the same reason. Having more choice doesn’t always mean sacrificing those values

                                As far as solar goes - I think it might make sense on something like a bike computer, where you have a larger surface for the solar panel, but also constant exposure to sunlight due to its static position.
                                With watches you lose both of these advantages - I think any benefit from the solar charging is going to be marginal and it wouldn’t make sense for Suunto to invest resources in something, I would consider mostly gimmick.

                                  @Ivan-Vasilev DCRainmakers tests of the solar variants of Garmin’s bike computer does not show significant battery loadings from the solar power. The only watch that benefits of it is the Instinct solar as far as I know.

                                  Anyone can judge if solar is an advantage or not. I think it’s a nice to have, but battery itself is definitely enough for my needs (Enduro 2).

                                  I use GPS with automatic settings, so it switches between single- and multi-band depending on the signal quality which should end up somewhere between 70-80h of GPS recording…never tested it 😅

                                    If there will be solar charging, it does not necessarily mean “solar like others do it”…

                                            Hello all!!

                                            I only ask for a little respect with the leaks or else I will delete the post… a lot of work and a lot of enthusiasm from a lot of people who are playing behind this… so please wait for official news and respect the work of so many people.

                                            Have a nice day!!
