@martintrail Could you tell the circumference of your wrist?

[Egika]

@gizmo this is a wide angle effect of the camera

Don’t know.
Let’s see

@SuperFlo75
same rule like for bikes and ski equipment applies for watches: reasonable amount is n+1

[GiPFELKiND]

@SuperFlo75 i Love my Suunto watches 🫀🫀

[SuperFlo75]

@freeheeler You have a wife? Mine is almost critical according these new things we like

[freeheeler]

@SuperFlo75
yes I do, she’s very lovely and tolerant
and she’s got her 4th Suunto
A2R, A3R, S7 now S9PP

[SuperFlo75]

@freeheeler I gave her my S9PP when I bought the SV, but she uses it rarely… I think she loves me more than doing sports…

[gizmo]

@martintrail Thanks, I have exactly the same circumference and I was worried whether the watch would be too big

[craigeggleton]

Took the plunge and placed my order this morning.

[wcreasyl]

@craigeggleton Same here. Also got the Wings because why not

[Danny poleg]

@wcreasyl Don’t forget to update the software for the headphones after they are connected to the suunto app

[Frank Stefan]

@Egika I got yesterday the new Race and the step counter seems much better than the algo on the Vertical. On the Race i have no recorded steps while brushing my teeths. The Vertical has counted around 400-500 steps haha.

[SuperFlo75]

Perhaps it would be better to use an electric toothbrush

Got the Race today . First impressions:

The box is completly different as usual:

Updating and installing maps worked perfectly and … maps showed up instantaneously after getting a valid GPS fix.

When hand is lowered the breadcrumptrail is still visible

AMOLED display is very bright and high contrast

Brightness set to Medium
