speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches

[mikekoski490]

@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 ?

@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:

[Likarnik]

@zhang965 thiccc

[Mitch9]

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

[Hugo Renaud]

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

Hello Vertical!

[Soojong Moon]

@surfboomerang your boss will say the same thing Don’t dare to bother

[MiniForklift]

Does anyone know what the release date (or even month) is likely to be for New Zealand or the UK?

[mikekoski490]

@Mitch9 Does it have a flashlight feature? I didn’t read anywhere about that. Hopefully it does!
