Suunto Run + New Strap

gerasimos

@raven yes that’s my position!
e.g
If the basic line and low cost Garmin Forerunner 55 already meets all the requirements for my activities, why should I spend more money on the Forerunner 965?

And yes, developing a watch with significantly less memory and limited software capabilities is much cheaper in terms of production cost compared to a mid range or higher-end model. That’s exactly why the initial build is designed the way it is and later upgraded gradually through software updates.

So, in mass production and with a targeted sales group, the company with new Suunto Run achieves significantly higher profit margins or at the very least, an attempt to capture the segment of consumers who want to spend as less money as possible on a sports watch that is compact, light on the wrist(not metall), and very simple to use.

Still waiting for the Vertical Race Pro Titanium S - so far

isazi

If and when this new watch is released, I don’t see much reason for debate. Suunto makes watches, and they release them to market, would be worried if they didn’t.

This should not affect the watch you already have

gerasimos

@isazi The only concern I could possibly have is if a better-looking watch comes out than the Suunto Vertical 🫠

isazi

@gerasimos I haven’t seen one yet

gerasimos

@isazi It’s impossible to make a better one.

@gerasimos Well, Ocean is also very good-looking But I still love the Vertical

Brad_Olwin

@kriskus The Vertical is my go to watch. But the Ocean is the best looking watch Suunto has made! Despite having both, the Vertical is most often on my wrist.

gerasimos

@kriskus yup… for me Vertical Ti it’s the perfect blend balance of adventure/tactical colour/urban-rugged style Ocean it’s more clear elegant style.
Both of them great.

Suunto Ocean Steel black is the best looking watch out there. I hope Suunto offers Ocean without diving features like a Vertical version with amoled display in future.

The Suunto run is my go-to watch and it’s not even released yet

The Ocean is too chunky and ‘rugged’ for my taste - I loved the 5 Peak and I love my Race S! The Run looks great and being thin and light it is very tempting but I don’t think it will tempt me from my beloved Race S

I am curious about the post-exercise hr tracking though

I’m also hopeful, with the marketing focus on structured workout support that there will be a few of those missing features appearing with the next OS release

I would like a Suunto Vertical Steel Black

@Pavlas but then the color must be scratch resistant. This is the only thing I dislike on my Race all black.

Tami999

@mabe2k Same. I love Vertical look. Don’t like bright titanium in Race and all black easy to scratch.

We might get acces to the interval counter with the Suunto app

Tieutieu

@Cédric at last ! Improvements seem very cool !
That’s the only thing I really miss on my SV and SRs.
I also hope there will be 5sec bip countdown to next step !

Official release next week?

Cédric

@Tieutieu I hope so too. My Suunto Race is great, but it’s missing these small features.

Maybe we’ll get an answer next week.
