      released for Asia / Pacific
      Let’s see when they become available in Europe and America 🙂

      The bone conducting headphones have some nice innovative motion detection.
      It enables for additional swimming metrics like head angle measurement with breast stroke and freestyle swimming.

      Plus offline music with special underwater mode, you can listen to music while swimming (and while running as well - as long as Suunto has no music playback from the watch)

          TL;DR pretty, interesting headphones, but I want working HR sync from a chest strap and swimming drill tracking more, if we’re going to make a splash (haha) about swimming. Who knows, though? Maybe we’ll get that in the next update, too.

          These are cute, nice colour scheme, too. I think the question swimmers who regularly work on their technique will have…

          does this let me track my drills?

          Sorely missing from the current watches.

          • I notice that the mock-up of a swim in the app shows it was recorded with a Race and the Aqua, looking forward to seeing how that works: will the watch connect to the headphones pre-swim, like a HRM? https://www.suunto.com/en-us/Support/Product-support/suunto_aqua/suunto_aqua/workout-tracking/swimming/

          Uhm…

          NOTE:
          If the connection between the headphones and the watch is lost during the exercise, or you turn workout tracking with the headphones off before ending the exercise on the watch, the exercise records of the headphones and the watch will appear as separate exercises in Suunto app.

          There must be a timeout, right? Because I know that at the bottom of my stroke, my watch will lose Bluetooth connectivity to the headphones. This seems like a pretty rough failure mode, to say the least.

          In addition to analyzing your swimming technique, Suunto Aqua can monitor mobility as well as neck and muscle fatigue

          Next to a photo of someone on a bike, so is this in swimming and cycling…? Yep it is. I question the utility of that, I know when my neck is tired!

          Jump assessment! Watch out, Polar… https://www.suunto.com/en-us/Support/Product-support/suunto_aqua/suunto_aqua/motion-detection-and-analysis/jump-assessment/

          These feel worryingly like the equivalent of the really weird Nokia phones that no-one asked for.

            Would be interesting if you can control the music via watch. I didn’t see it mentioned…

              @VoiGAS offline music in Suunto Aqua cannot be controlled from the watch. But you can define playlists in SA and then select them in Aqua.

                Found no review of it. Anyone here with more luck?
                The most interesting part for me are the additional metrics. Swimming and Cycling are mentioned, but nor Running. Still I hope it could deliver something like Garmins Running Dynamics…

                  @VoiGAS no running measurements from these. As the name says, it’s major element is water.
                  I guess Suunto has something else in the pipeline with some running dynamics 🤗

                    @Egika It also says neck tirement measurement for biking - so it could be a triathlon device if they find something for running.
                    But I will also wait and hope for some Suunto Running Dynamics

                      There is a Suunto Aqua App now it the store. It seems like this app is necessary to record the additional metrics. Strange, I was expecting native support…

                        @VoiGAS there is both.
                        Aqua can record swimming metrics stand-alone.
                        Or it can be used to “enrich” the data recorded with a Suunto watch (using the S+ app)

                        In the first case of course HR and some other watch-based data will not be part of the recording.

                              The aqua with Suunto android app has issues playing offline music loaded into the music folder. Looks like they put out a buggy product. 😞

                                I can’t download audio onto my Aqua headphones. The connection drops out when I attach the headphones to my phone via the usb cable.
