speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches
-
The bezel is still a bit too prominent, IMO.
-
@altcmd Could you share a link of the website? The bezel doesn’t bother me. The watch looks very good imo.
-
@Highlands 48,8 mm case?
So i think 1,3 inch screen?Suunto Spartan Ultra
Suunto 9 Peak Pro All Black
Suunto Vertical -
@altcmd I did see one cache with titanium that had a higher price. So assume the one you saw will be steel.
-
@Ultrawalker I’m ok with the size. I like it.
-
@Highlands if we really get a solar variant, maybe the “black bezel” is for solar charging --> bigger than the Garmin one --> more solar energy
-
@Ultrawalker if you have the photo, it’s actually quite easy to compute: measure the whole profile of the watch in pixels and measure the screen size in pixels. You know the length of the watch profile, so by a simple ratio you can obtain the screen size.
I’m too lazy to do this tho, but maybe someone will.

Let’s put the huge bezel nonsense to test: https://youtu.be/9xaidb98fDs?t=106
Therefore I think the new watch will hide it a bit better and/or introduce solar under it? (given the white line markings though, wouldn’t this affect solar?) -
@Hristijan-Petreski The size of the bezel doesn’t bother me at all as I’ve seen the pic. I’m more concerned about a rotating bezel. I hope it doesn’t rotate.

Just a kind reminder to you all
So the rule is: no leaks. No pictures, no names, no links, just discuss what you look for in a new watch, what you don’t want, what you expect.
-
@sartoric is it still a leak if the details are on a retailer’s page and ready to purchase?
-
well, to me it’s a leak if there is not yet an official announcement.
shops marketing strategies are devilish
… “whooops, that page wasn’t supposed to be published till xx/xx, sorry” -
@sartoric agreed and noted.

I wonder if OHR is gonna be any good because of similar weight as S9B…

One expectation we didn’t discussed yet, and important to me : hope this next watch to come will be “made in finland” and with the same sustainable concerns it was for the previous models (9pp espacialy).
Also hope it will be supported as long as my S9B has been so far !
I’m personnaly fully confident it will be !Suunto’s devices at home :
Vertical titanium solar
Suunto Race S
S9pp titanium sand

Also : if maps are coming as it seems to be, I’d be glad if there was an option to enable/disable maps “on the flight”, to save battery. For instance while following a track, I’d like to choose to navigate with maps, or only with the track as it is today with S9 series, and having a shortcut to activate/disactivate them !
