speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches

DMytro

@Jugger I’ve done some rough estimates of the battery life somewhere above. It was something like 30h with multiband and 50h with all-sat gps. Reasonable I think.
Probably it’ll be either the same hr sensor as in s9pp but tuned to this new watch or the newer sensor.
Barometer - isn’t the one in s9b/s9p/s9pp already quite good? It’d be interesting to see, where they put the hole tho.
It seems like the new watch comes with a new watchface and there were some rumours about the weather - I guess both should come to s9pp at some point. A more interesting question is that whether suunto will make their play on widgets with the reveal of this watch or whether they’ll come in some forseeable future (by widgets I essentially mean more customizability of the watchface).

Jugger

@DMytro Battery life seems ok then. About barometer I ment that S9PP can also measure under water. I think it’s also in new watch.

Weather watchface would be nice. I miss baro watchface from S9B. If there would be possibility to sync outside temperature to it, it would be perfect.

I just hope that new watch has all the capabilities of S9PP and more, not missing something out. Not counting weight/size, that is more personal preference…

Can’t wait to have a look at the new Suunto.

DMytro

@Likarnik what I could imagine might be missing is snorkeling ready baro sensor and ambient light sensor.

I expect new OHR, so HRV can be measured… hopefully

DMytro

@suzzlo can’t hrv be measured already?

Andi Buzer

@DMytro according to a blog article about the sleep tracking it’s measured and taken into account for the sleep quality score. But we have no values over the whole day or at least while in activity, which if you use certain partners is really a pitty

DMytro

@Andi-Buzer I mean, according to some old surveys we should eventually get it in suunto coach tab. Maybe in the next updates. Like nightly hrv or smth.

Dreaming of a “bare” Suunto without internal OHR, sleeptracking, resources… But of course with Suuntos advanced accurate outside features (fusedalti, accurate distance …). I am aware that I am pretty alone with this, because everybody wants wellness features. I always use external HR and know how to train and to pause… training peaks app plugin is useful…

@Andi-Buzer But does it make sense to measure hrv with ohr during the day and sport activities? Are hrv measurements reliable? I understood it makes sense to measure hrv during night when you sleep still for recovery assessment.

The ambit 3 peak?

suuntastic

@André-Faria Yes, but I think S9P (which I use and enjoy very much) is more precise (distance, fusedalti) and has more recording time (battery), is lighter, less bulky… Isn’t it? Think also navigation is litte bit better now. But I do not have experience with A3P… just guessing

Efejota

@André-Faria Yes, if they have not decided to get rid of the wireless sync

Andi Buzer

@dulko79 I don’t know if the lifeq sensor is reliable enough, but I know that some Garmin watches offer it and that their values seem to be plausible. So I guess it depends on the sensor.

Jugger

Any idea about price range? Will there be steel and titanium version?

Until it will be officialy released, hard to tell…
But, if we get - as we all hope - the new flagship, the price should be above the 9pp. According to what happened for all the previous models, It seems reasonnable to think that there will be either steel and titanium versions…this is my bet.

DMytro

Btw, I wonder how much newness will trickle down to s5p successor.

@Andi-Buzer The FCC drawings show what appears to be the same sensor as the S9P and S9PP
