Suunto watches to come in 2024

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

Stuff will be made. Software will be written. Forums will be full of frustrated people. Comparisons will be made.

You know. Business as usual.

the glass is only half full when we don’t even know if there really is a glass?

[Fenr1r]

@freeheeler There is always the glass. The glass is existence. The future: its contents and level. Our cultural preconceptions: its shape and its color. The straw: our personal interpretation. The little umbrella: I have no idea what that’s doing there.

The spoon, on the other hand …

There is no spoon

hi folks,
my little brother is looking for a sportwatch. As Suunto ambassador, I of course recommended a Suunto Watch.
I noticed that 5peak and 9peak are not anymore on the french website.
I hope to see an entry or mid-range watch back on the website.

@Brad_Olwin yes I do, just typo. How could I easily run SuuntoApp on Windows as kind of replacement for movescount?

I think the 9 Peak Pro is the mid range watch at the moment, and it is a good one as it runs the same kind of OS as the SV and SR – just no maps and no naps. But you are right, there is no entry watch at the moment.

@thailon there is on Android emulator or something like that. it has been discussed here before.

@UjcoCZ bring on the new Karoo!

[thailon]

@Brad_Olwin Ah ok, I thought so. Imho, it’s not alternative to website, in no way. Anyhow, looking forward for any suunto news.

[Sergei Ladeishchikov]

@Brad_Olwin where to download the application installation file?

Windows 11 has built-in capability to run Android apps, for older versions there’s one called BlueStacks.

[Sergei Ladeishchikov]

@halajos I’m a little familiar with the emulator. I mean Suunto App or the file .apk

How is this not equivalent to a web site? Running Suunto app on my Mac is far, far better than Movescount was. I can do everything except connect a watch. I can draw routes, alter and add media to exercises, add tags etc all on a large screen. I do not get why a website would have any advantage at all.

[e6321]

@Brad_Olwin websites work on any device. Realistically everything the mac app does could be done on a website.

[Brad_Olwin]

@e6321 Android app works on Windows and Android. iOS app works on Mac and all iOS devices. All that is missing are those running Linux, personally I don’t see the need to have a fully independent web site with costs and effort that will reduce or slow improvements to existing hardware and services.

[far-blue]

@Brad_Olwin I agree entirely. Websites from device manufacturers aren’t usually that great and what Suunto excels at is integrations with other services. There are loads of very good websites and services out there that work well with Suunto so why would they put the effort into their own.

The great thing about working with the ecosystem is that Suunto device owners can tailor their own suite of services. One user might prefer TrainingPeaks and Strava while another might prefer Xhale and TrainerRoad and a third might prefer Runalyse, TrainAsOne, Smashrun, MyFitnessPal or intervals.icu.

Snapshot from Suunto’s instagram yesterday
I immediately wondered :

• new vertical declination with heatmap as a background
  Or
• vertical with tree branches reflections ??

But then I realized it was reflections !

[Egika]

@Tieutieu but where are the new devices to come in 2024 in this picture?

[Tieutieu]

@Egika Didn’t know where to put this…and at first I really thought it was a new one with heatmaps !
