New Suunto watch coming

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?

Stefan Kersting

@Tieutieu I fully agree

French reviewer “blog cardio gps” says that it will/should be possible to display heatmaps !

EzioAuditore

@dulko79 It will be very pitty if they’re not. Prediction not so much but the Lactate is a good metric (if correct).

@dulko79 Sorry, I don’t know if or when

@Ketoohs this! As an SV Steel owner of a few months, to know that I could have got a Titanium Race for less money is very disappointing

Unfortunately, that’s how tech world is spinning nowadays

The new always is the enemy of the existing.
Same everywhere and always.

Took some pics to compare the built:

@Egika I’m more interested in the SV running new FW

@Egika display looks nice. Can you show screen with new sleeping tracking?

Frederick Rochette

@Lechamoix I really hope it’s a mistake that there’s no sleep tracking and HR threshold tracking on SV!

With a difference of 5 months? I don’t agree…

Not about this new race but about wings - sorry for digression => “answering call function”. That meens it has a mic ?

@Tieutieu
To me it looks more like you “can answer” , not “having a phone call”

The Suunto Race looks like a great watch! As a Vertical Solar owner, I’m wondering how this would have affected my purchase decision if they came out at the same time. The Vertical, while made in Finland, is much more expensive!

I don’t see many people choosing the Vertical over the Race going forward, I think Vertical sales will take a big dive. That being said, I’m happy I didn’t wait and bought my Vertical when it came out. I’ve had a good few months with my adventure companion!

@Tieutieu Shokz Openrun has a mic, I don’t see why the Wing wouldn’t have one. It would be highly disappointing that at this price, you couldn’t have a phone call with it.

Yes, is actually has 2 mics built in.
Plus it has some other innovative features, like head movement control and built in LED lights.

This is what the SA connection is for: to configure those features
