Suunto 5

@zhang965 no idea, I’m just saying what makes sense to me, no info here, just hopes!

@zhang965 the S7 should have 8 Firstbeat features, since 5 has 6 (https://www.firstbeat.com/en/consumer-product/suunto/suunto-5/)

… or 18 features like Forerunner 945

Or a new model called suunto 18 with all of 18 firstbeat features?

@suzzlo 150 jump from 300 to 450 seems a bit steep for better materials, compass, better battery…unless more FB features are added to 7. What about release date?

It’s just a guess from suzzlo

@dulko79 If I can buy one S7 in black friday for less than 400€ I will be very happy

zhang965

@suzzlo a suunto 9 on Amazon is about 380 euros

dulko79

@suzzlo I agree .

dulko79

@zhang965 I know, we are all just guessing…rumors are fun

@suzzlo I would love to see a S5 Baro for the compactness of the S5.
But I agree with you in terms of range and price.
Can’t remember when the SSSWHRB was released

This is why S9 should have them immediately !!!

No,
we should keep the logic:
Suunto 3 has 18 firstbeats, suunto 5 has 9, suunto 7 has 3 and Suunto 9 has ZERO!

@silentvoyager I do believe OHR can work well for some of us, and don’t think it’s measuring the cadence. See below a list of runs I did with exactly the same cadence (154 spm), and you can see that the average HR (all measured with S9 baro OHR) is different for longer runs where I tend to be tired at the end, or for runs with some ascent (or when I had too many drinks the day before, but that is not shown in the table :))…
How would I get these results if OHR was locked on cadence?

I don’t see the same thing

zhang965

@Mi_chael I don’t get it, do you mean firstbeat should mention suunto 9 with 0 firstbeat features on their website?

Mi_chael

@zhang965

There is no S9 just these 3 watches.

@zhang965 Suunto has - so far - no license for the S9 for any Firstbeat feature acquired. That’s it!

@Brad_Olwin Thanks for the reply, sorry if you had to repeat yourself.
I don’t understand the argument of not wanting the option of having features on the watch, if you’re not interested then you can ignore it or disable it.
Sleep tracking and all HR tracking is there with the option to disable.

It is not that simple, there are extra screens on the S5 not on the S9, one is Resources and another VO2 max. I don’t mind the data somewhere but I do not want the extra screens. I have used the features on the S5 and as I stated before, for trail running the VO2 max is not helpful. For road running is good. The fitness features are great for individuals that want plans to improve or maintain fitness and do not train for competitions.
