@altcmd said in speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches:
@André-Faria My experience with Garmins have been that their watches are very susceptible to scratches. I had the 945 and 955 and they scratched pretty easily. For a watch that costs over €500, this is quite unacceptable, I feel. I like to focus on the doing part, but more importantly, I want things to last. In today’s world, we cannot take a use-and-throw mentality to things, nor can be afford to keep replacing our tools annually (looking at you, Apple!). F7 had a weird display that would make it look cloudy. So yes, if Suunto offers better durability, materials and above all, made in Finland (factory 10k from where I live), then I would choose this any day. I know feature-wise Suunto is ages behind Garmin, but Garmin is effectively ticking boxes for features that to me are half-baked. Your mileage may vary and you may very well have had a very good experience with Garmin devices, but not for me and hence, Suunto is an easy choice. Glad to see the app has now evolved, so we are getting there.
Totally agree on the sustainability part. I am not hardcore sports guy, the watch is for some runs, light hikes and tracking.
Most suuntos are for me on the league of usage of fenix line not forerunner (durability/materials).
Although durability plays heavy on decision, having features that make me use my watch more also plays. No company or product is perfect . I had s9p ti that just scratched using it at home, and I was not the only one. What I meant to say is just because of a “feature” one brand is heaven and other is hell.
But…I am also very curious on this new watch! -

voice feedback
I also wonder in what situations voice feedback is used. Just navigation or smth else as well.
Might be also feedback on target pace, hr etc. when you do a structured workout.

So based on the French retailer and the music section: what does 3200 MO means? 3200 songs?
Suunto watches: Ocean (Sand), Race (Titanium Charcoal), Vertical (Titanium Solar Sand), 9 Baro (Ambassador Edition), Spartan Ultra (Copper Edition), Ambit 2, S6

@Hristijan-Petreski according to google translator 3200 MB
-
@Hristijan-Petreski Could it be megabyte? So 3 Gb. If there is possible to download music I hope it supports Tidal.
-
@Jugger Guess you are right. It might be Mb. Except if this is music only reserved memory its a bit low for full maps support.
-
@Hristijan-Petreski I guess we are wiser on tuesday. There seems to be quite a lot new things coming up. Solar, maps, music etc. Can’t wait
Do you guys think we can buy and get it already next week? It seems shops already have them in stock.
Suunto Vertical Titanium Forest

Well, well, it looks like a bigger brother to S9PP - design wise. Battery life seems absurd, and I believe that users eternally dissatisfied by the GPS track quality should be happy
It also seems that the tour mode will be more useful than in previous watches (well, it’ll be actually useful).
I hope that Suunto will stir the market a little bit with this release

all the hints seem to lead to this conclusion
-
@Jugger Yes looking forward to what color I will be spending my money on. The sand looks gorgeous so that is my first choice for now.
-
I highly hope music will NOT be a feature. My phone do it very well…
-
@Tieutieu
Music is one feature that lots of people wanted … but that no one really need -
So, what happened with rules in this topic?
-
@Likarnik
At this point, with official leaks
and the upcoming event, well it would be like emptying the sea with a colander -
@Likarnik I’m just speculating
I only know what internet tells me. Like I wrote previously we know the truth on tuesday. -
@Jugger We haven’t been this excited in years

It’s a compliment, it must be a compliment right?
