speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches

@sartoric I’d guess that text says “Rotary Mode” and may be a way of interfacing (zooming?) the map.

Few more days, few more days… Enjoy the weekend!

[sartoric]

@jasoncuddy
To me it looks more like “Battery mode”

[jasonc]

@sartoric You know what, that makes a lot more sense.

So since we are speculating what do you think the internal memory will be? Will it fit more regions if maps are supported?

[Tieutieu]

@Hristijan-Petreski good question…probably large enough for further evolutions !

I was wondering : and if map were also added to S9pp afterall ??
The range would be awesome :

• big screen with maps => new watch to come
• big screen without maps => S9b
• small screen with maps => S9pp
• small screen without maps => S9p

That would explain why « new » S9b was recently added (black titanium version) ?

This is pure speculation indeed !

[isazi]

@Tieutieu unfortunately S9PP does not have enough memory to store maps

[dulko79]

@isazi if maps are the only difference and other functions are the same, that would be great.

[Egika]

@dulko79 I think some more added features would be more than welcome. 5krunner is hinting a superb GPS accuracy…

I wasn’t able to find the information of memory avalaible on S9pp, but I tought it was unfortunatly so !

[EzioAuditore]

@isazi Any hint or speculation if the rest of the internals are upgraded (enough for maps, etc.) or same as s9pp?

[nseslija]

@vlado nice…

[Egika]

@Tieutieu maps would need memory in GB size (like 16/32/64GB or so) to store some regions.
I am very sure, that S9PP does not have this capacity…

[Tieutieu]

@Egika @isazi do you know what is the memory size of S9PP ? I didn’t find the information anywhere (includind on S9pp thread)

[fluca]

Based on what I could see we are gonna get weather forecast into watches. Hope this will be back rolled to S9PP and fromer models.

[DMytro]

@fluca likely just new UI watches in my opinion.

Fenix 1 already had “hacks” that enabled maps. If suunto could come up with a “newer” version of that hack, maybe it would help: like just download a small zone from the app, and then delete it.
For sure it seems easier that it is to implement, but…

[DMytro]

@André-Faria ‘hacks’ are not reliable are presume?

[A Former User]

came across this one

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@André-Faria its 2023 and if we learned something from hacks is that they don’t work eventually. (development wise)
