speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches

[Highlands]

@André-Faria One has to act fast when a good offer is available.

Among all potential specs that have leaked, I’ve seen only one that would disappoint me a bit : mention of screen resolution 280x280. It would be less than S9b. Really hope it will better than that.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Tieutieu doesn’t that depend on the screen type ? (Display). Also wortht to consider that displays factor is not the resolution for transreflective screens and small screens aka watches.

Hd is ok for smartphones but not for your tv

Fair enough, was just a tought and considering S9b resolution is « better », I’d hope it would have been at least the same

And it won’t protect me from spending my money anyway !

@ChrisA excellent prices considering the leap in quality, gps etc …
It seems little to me since Suunto 9pp is “slightly” cheaper.
My money will fly

French reseller boulanger listed Suunto vertical and revoked the page.

If it offers “infinite” battery life, like the Instinct 2(X), I consider buying the Vertical.

Rakuten’s page is still up. 599 non titanium non solar

Livré entre le 9 et le 11 mai

Auchan page is up

@zhang965 599 € I take it the same day

86g - ouch! That is gonna be heavy relative to the 9PP.

[zhang965]

Titanium version is 74 g

[altcmd]

@zhang965 both significantly heavier.

[surfboomerang]

@altcmd It’s also a bigger watch. Compared to the S9B it is roughly the same weight

[surfboomerang]

@twekkel I think this should be possible if it is in watch mode. I don’t know why a watch should draw a lot of power in that mode, but I don’t know the details.

[altcmd]

@surfboomerang Point taken but looking at Coros watches, they are quite light relative to the Garmin F7. I think the F7 is a tad bit lighter. Not a weight weenie but just not a fan of wearing heavy watches.

[surfboomerang]

@altcmd Same for me. Lighter = better, but only if does not compromise the robustness of the watch (or has a huge price tag). Last thing you want is cracked cases, scratched glass, broken straps etc just because of some weight saving.

[vlado]

@altcmd mine 7x solar is 89g, i wear it overnight without feeling it. So this 86 wont be any problem for me. Btw 7x solar is on sale if anybody is interested:)

[altcmd]

@surfboomerang Ofcourse, hence Suunto instead of a plastic, overpriced Garmin 965.

[altcmd]

@vlado Different people, different tolerances. My tolerance is 65-70 hence felt 9PP was perfect but was too small in size for my above-average wrists. Either way, best way to figure it would would be to get both and choose one.

So curious how people say something is over price by a spec.
Hence why maybe Suunto is making a good move speaking about precision and materials, maybe they understood their client type values much more it, than for example other features.
One more leak: https://www.sport-conrad.com/en/products/suunto/vertical-titanium-solar.html

Super beautiful, voice feedback and what is seems to be a light sensor. Very interesting. Curious for the full presentation and some debrief of technical choices.
