speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches

[Wilson75]

I will not downgrade from my s9b ti. So Vertical Titanium sand colour will be my precious for sure…

People in Canada or who would like to have it shipped from Canada* can pre-order:

https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=suunto+vertical

Apparently, official shipments begin a week from now, on May 16, with deliveries in Canada starting in early 20s. You are welcome!

• Apparently Amazon Canada won’t ship anything outside the country.

@NickK Thanks Nick! What do you think of the pricing…goes from $708CDN to $896 to $922 but the descriptions are all the same:

SUUNTO Vertical: Adventure GPS Watch, Large Screen, Offline Maps, Solar Charging

What do you think?

UPDATE: never mind, I think its just more for the titanium model. Its the small print (solar - only available in the titanium version).

Official release May 16th ?

[A Former User]

@mikekoski490 $800+ are clearly titanium versions. You know… If it’s really expensive, it must be unobtanium titanium.

[Tieutieu]

something I was thinking about and that we didn’t discussed that much : will it have a power sensor as 9pp does !?

[A Former User]

@vlado Meaning when it actually starts shipping. Tomorrow it’s gonna go up for pre-order and reviews will get posted I suppose. Not unlike S9P was released.

[vlado]

@NickK ok, that sentence got me worried

[mikekoski490]

Well…I did it. I didn’t think I would, but I did…:

@mikekoski490 Titanium?

[dulko79]

Has anyone noticed if titanium version comes with black strap besides sand and orange?

[Ultrawalker]

60h gps without solar? Will that be in dual band mode?

[mikekoski490]

@vlado Yes. Titanium

I usually regret not getting the titanium model if its available. Solar I’m not yet sure about, but just consider it comes ‘bundled’ with the titanium version.

Plus Im a huge sucker for orange watch bands.

The price was $50 less than a Coros Vertix 2 here in Canada, and Suunto is a much superior brand in my opinion. It’s also $400 less than equivalent Garmin Fenix 7X Solar/Ti, which is a huge plus for Suunto’s pricing model from my POV.

@dulko79 the black straps all stainless steel (at least those shown on CA Amazon)

[DMytro]

@Ultrawalker appears to be the case

@aroo7 said in speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches:

something known about the thickness of the new vertical ?

[Likarnik]

@zhang965 thiccc

[Mitch9]

Flashlight is a “new” feature for me. Let’s see how this is implemented.

It’s time to bid farewell to my Spartan Ultra Titanium, which has served me well over the years.

Hello Vertical!
