      @Stefan-Kersting said in New Suunto watch coming:

      Somebody who can explain me the point with the new watch? SV is nearly twice the price and the race has just AMOLED? Tried to find a page where I can compare both watches men could not find it.

      I don’t see dual band on the new Race. No solar. Less battery life due to amoled screen (more than 50% less if we compare the best GPS setting of the Vertical with no dual band, to the best mode of the race).
      But indeed not that it seems there is not that much differences
      I would bet this is the first step to amoled for suunto.

      Suunto’s devices at home :
      Vertical titanium solar
      Suunto Race S
      S9pp titanium sand
      Suunto Wing
      S9B titanium Ambassador edition, A3P, X6

        @Egika so when getting the update on SV it is just the AMOLED that is the difference?

                  @Lechamoix So the non solar Vertical will have less features than Race, no Amoled screen and better battery life for 150€ more… I do not understand the logic, and as a Vertical owner I am confused and disappointed.

                        @Stefan-Kersting it’s unfortunate. It seems like with the S7 as well, they couldn’t produce AMOLED watches in Finland.

                          Maybe for now major differences are display and battery. If additional software features are introduced later, maybe differentiation will be more clear.

                              @Ketoohs it very aggressively priced. I wonder how much has been borrowed from the parent company or is there some internal competition between teams.
                              Its odd to undercut the vertical by quite so much.

                              The home screen for example looks out of place on a Suunto watch. Not saying I dont like it but it doesn’t look ‘Suunto’.

                                  I’m not disappointed : my SV is awesome and will improve. I don’t need amoled for now, and much prefer a longer battery time.
                                  Few design differences also make me prefer the SV. Also for the “made in finland” !
                                  Still, it is a big step forward for suunto, this watch looks good !

                                    Oh boy, the Vertical’s titanium is much nicer, this looks awfully cheap to me. I’d prefer the titanium a little darker. It’s going to be a tough choice 😄

                                        I have both in full black steel casing here and both are actually quite the same quality appearance. Basically, they look like twins design and material wise.

                                          @Egika I prefer titanium because of the weight, but the steel version is much nicer than titanium on the Race 🙂

                                            @pavel-samokha I saw in Joaquin’s post in FB for Suunto Race these features:
                                            -Race prediction for 5K-10k-half marathon and marathon
                                            -Lactate threshold calculation
                                            Will they be ported to Vertical through software update or are they relevant for Race only?
