Short update, sent my watch to suunto on 12/07/23. DHL Express shipment was pretty fast. Repair would take about 20 Working days, but nothing happend since then… on 27/07/23 I´ve got a mail from suunto because of the delay of the repair:

“Due to a high volume of repairs, we are unable to repair your product at the time agreed…” but no details about how long de delay will be.

Not really happy with it, but yeah…

Suunto proud to be an européen company, and you should respect their summer holiday.

@zhang965 what are you talking about ? I’m proud to be French (and thus enjoy around 37 days off per year) and regularly take 3 weeks together during the summer (its even mandatory to take at least 2 weeks in the summer), but when I do, its planned, and If some project are going to take longer because of my holidays, i, at the very least, give an rough timeline to my clients/project manager…that’s the usual for most people I think, european or not

The problem here is the lack of date, and lack of warning, just sending “sorry we’re late” after 25 days is not a great communication, but at least they gave an update ^^

@Elipsus we usually say Finland is closed in august. Summer is short there, the schedule is tight to fit everyone’s holidays.

@halajos Finland is mostly closed in July, not August. Right now there are lots of sad people returning to their normal weekly routines. Even the public swimming pools are opening again after being closed for the July.

I have also this problem with my S9PP watch. Quality of watch seems to be little “questionable”

@Felttie if you have this problem contact support, they may replace your watch.

You buy a new watch in France you have about 30 jours to return it.

When your old watch gets repaired, return the new one.

@surfboomerang Good point! Could be some anti insect DEET too. DEET is also very aggressive to some plastic.

@Martin-Wozenilek DEET a military proofed watch is braking while DEET!? Bad point

kek, your military proofed watch comes with full of bubbles on sensors, that’s a true good point
