      @MikeKhachmakhov If every brand tried to please all consumers by producing products that are “down the middle” (neither far left nor right), then wouldn’t we get a bunch of watches that all look and function the same? Most Suunto fans purchase their products because of the design aesthetic, minimalist qualities, and general reliability for the functions they do perform.

      If you prefer a highly customizable sports watch, there are plenty of options out there for you. I think most of us (a biased group, no doubt) would be pretty disappointed if Suunto went the route you’re suggesting.

        it’s not a zero-sum game.

        of course, there are overloaded garmin watchfaces (that some people like), but crucially, there are also minimalist watchfaces, and everything in between. the argument is for the choice. or, even better - suunto opening up watchfaces to third party developers so they can fill any gaps left by the stock watchfaces (with strict quality control)

        curiously, the data-heavy watchfaces are typically the most downloaded on the garmin connect store, so the most popular watchface type on the most popular sports watch would seem to be something suunto should emulate if they want to be successful, whilst of course still catering for the minimalists.

          Hi, I tried to design my own WF. They refer to the increasingly popular Czech Trail (Stezka Českem)
          Please take it with a grain of salt. I am not a graphic designer. The complications are random, they are just to give you an idea…

            @Pavlas well done. a lot of information if you need/want them but still it’s very clean. Hey Suunto!!! Copy this!!!

            t6, Ambit, Traverse, Spartan Sport WHR, Suunto 7 (2 month! then sold it!, loved the watch but UI was pointless),Suunto 9, Garmin Fenix 6pro, Suunto 9 Peak Ti (it‘s a beauty), Garmin Epix Gen2, Suunto Race Ti

            Core Brushed Steel (Most beautiful watch ever)

                    the font size of the complications is way too small to be readable imho

                      Why don’t we keep creating watch faces we’d love to see and share them here in the forum? It could be a great way to inspire Suunto and show them what we’re really looking for. User @Pavlas already gave an excellent example… !
                      I’m sure not how open Suunto is to this kind of feedback but pictures work better than words when describing what we may want … just an idea

                          @Stefano-M64 @Brad_Olwin The font could be enlarged, of course. BTW, Vertical Week WF also has a pretty small font
