      @Dušan-Ković Some previous Suunto models were also made in China… Like my Spartan Trainer… Which ended like this:

      😬 🙄 😂

      SV: fingers crossed :D
      S9 (non-baro): died after 2 months, replaced, holding strong since 03/20
      Spartan Trainer: casing broke after 23 months, repaired, lost watertightness 5 months later, died
      Despite some pretty bad luck, I still love Suunto!

        @Dušan-Ković should be send to the lab in China for testing. Doesn’t mean manufacture in China~

            Is it a new series of watches or some kind of successor to S5?
            Perhaps a competitor of Apex series of Coros or the Forunner?

                @Dušan-Ković plus I don’t think anyone would bother to write ‘made in China’ on a few test models just for the sake of it.

                    @DMytro If we remember S3F, it was made in China, and few years later we got S3 made in Finland. Both were pretty much same watches, but Finland one had better build quality and materials. My wife had S3F which died, and later she got S3, which my sister uses for few years now.

                      @Egika I had tried the Coros Vertix 2 less summer and didn’t like it at all (basically the UX/UI and backend stuff), but on the topic of scroll-wheel it was a bit of a gimmick. It was OK, but I ended up programming it so it was more of a touch button than a scroll wheel. It did not make it easier to use - just different.

                      Past Suuntos: X-Lander/Observer/T6/X9/X10/X6HR/CORES/Ambits/Spartan/9P/9PP Ti/Vertical Ti

                      Current: Suunto Race Ti

                      Past other GPS watches: Polar Vantage V; Garmin 6X Pro Solar; Coros Vertix 2

                        If it’s legit, I am wondering if they used the same (meaning SLOW) display like in Vertical. It’s going to be fun to scroll through the menu…

                          Vertix / Vertical
                          Pace / Race

                          Is there a pattern here?

                                Suunto will be tickling Coros and Garmin on the specs people want in 2023.

                                  @Highlands said in New Suunto watch coming:

                                  Is it a new series of watches or some kind of successor to S5?
                                  Perhaps a competitor of Apex series of Coros or the Forunner?

                                  Maybe more like and enduro? Bigger and slimmed down on features for max battery life and aimed at ultras?
                                  Which seem to be the target customer of Suunto .

                                  A watch without everything that people complained: step counting, sleep algo, resources etc… (we know they are getting solved).
                                  Could be a good target!
                                  Made in Finland was nice but if made in china within similar conditions and sustainability measures, all fine for me.
                                  If this is needed for Suunto to be more successful and have more resources , be it!

                                    When vertical was coming I had a lot of expectations (that are totally satisfied !). For this one I’m just very curious to see what is coming.

                                    Suunto’s devices at home :
                                    Vertical titanium solar
                                    Suunto Race S
                                    S9pp titanium sand

                                      Seems quite soon after the Vertical ?!

                                        @v-sacre A pinch of OLED, sprinkled with a good battery and, to top it all off, an attractive price.

                                          @Highlands ah the legendary Ambit. Why won’t Suunto just refresh the ambit and call it a day.
