      @NickK I meant that the Spartan might be seen as technology demonstrator

      Ah! Yes, you are spot on me thinks. But that raises an interesting question of their branding strategy. Spartan was a new name. S7 kind of lands in the middle of an established line šŸ¤”

        @silentvoyager I think that after the s7 publicity this is becoming #1 request

          @NickK Wild Guessing but Suunto may have learned from the Spartan’s problems. They may be more in ā€œDon’t Frighten the Puntersā€ mode. Rather than calling attention to a departure from their norm, they are leveraging their ā€œhard-coreā€ solidity in the stable S-series for the less ultra crowd. The Spartan was more of a get-the-sporty-folk-to-wear-a-fashionable-Suunto-everywhere. This is more get-the-fashionable-crowd-a-Suunto (but not lose the sportsters).

          And the LetterDigit format has worked OK for car manufacturers. Looking at you, BMW, in particular.

            If @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos is correct about most often requested feature now, I think Suunto is also selling S7 to every S9 owner. Not a bad strategy to seed the market.

              You know me. I am a Suunto guy. I was given many other smartwatches (Android wear) before I used the S7

              A friend asked why S7 over other Android wear and yes the price looks high imo.

              Here is what I replied

              1. More battery life. Only the Suunto watch (currently uses the low sport mode processor from qualcomm)
              2. Better build quality. I can drop my suunto (ask for video) from the 1st floor and will be ok 
              3. Better OHR. Suunto has the leading OHR here, with even proximity sensor 
              4. Suunto app integration and analysis + partners. Tell me if the Xiaomi sends data to Training peaks or relive 
              5. Waterproof to 50m 
              6. Swimming support as your spartan does 
              7. Global company + support + service (not china and distributors) 
              8. Updates that most manufactures dont bring (remember it's Google + Suunto + Qualcomm not only Suunto) 
              9. Secure Gpay via proximity sensor and skin detection sensors (you dont need to unlock  use pin if you wear the watch)
              10. Barometer + tons of sensors 
              11. Better display 
              12. Design
              13. Suunto watch-faces that work all the time showing even seconds without battery drop! (also use the special processor) 
              14. An ecosystem of watches, if you uprgade your watch you go to s9 etc 
              15. Always on low power full color Amoled screen.
              
              -  Maps maps map for free! And automatically downloaded! 
              

              That are my pros.

              Cons: Battery life

              I use personally all the time the powesaving on. This way I can get about 7 days of usage but nothing on the watch else than just the time. Literally nothing else.

              And hey. I am opinionated here. Don’t trust the devil.

                @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Looks very much like the list I create when I need to persuade myself to drop $499 on yet another watch šŸ˜‚

                I think for a full blown smartwatch that does full notifications, email app integration, and all, on 1.4" high-res screen that fires up to 1000 nits I can definitely live with charge every day or two scenario. So, battery life isn’t an issue for me. I’d even cry a bit, cut my Starbucks card in half, and eat the price. But sensors… sport mode customization… running power… FirstBeat bits…

                I have S9 and understand I can swap the watches, but I’d rather minimize it.

                    @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Given your list and the solidity/capability/aesthetics blend of the device, I feel that this is the sort of watch Bond might be issued to replace the Omega. The Suunto 007. Get to it, Suunto product placers.

                    (There are battery issues, yes, but charging comes from the same magic place as spare ammo. And music.)

                                @TELE-HO I thought about that but you know how disappointed folk can be about hinted-at features. Especially Suunto folk.

                                Closer to the reality, Bond might have to call up the right sport modes (Running->Running-Shooting->Running-Shooting-Pistol->Running-Shooting-Pistol-While Strangling Attack Walrus).

                                Possibly too much detail. Let the filmmakers show him remotely piloting a Stealth Gyrocopter or using Spynder or something.

                                  since Suunto recently preferes jointventures, why not with matrix? šŸ™‚

                                      For those who can remember, Polar tried a WearOS watch in the (I think it was called the M630, or something like that). I ā€œpre-orderedā€ one, thought it would be pretty cool, and at least something more than that ā€œtoyā€ Apple Watch. I owned it for about a week, and decided no. Now, Suunto is coming out with essentially a crippled version of that watch, no external sensors, not even an external HR monitor, even Apple will let you pair external HR monitors!. New, and unproven optical HR, that has been tried before, and abandoned, for whatever reason… I can only ask, ā€œWhat were they thinkingā€? You’re not even going to pull Apple watch users with this one, at least with FitIV Pulse, and ā€œWorkOutDoorsā€, the Apple watch approaches the Fenix in abilities. I have to wonder about this offering… Just my 2c worth, but I think they’re making a mistake with this one…

                                      'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty … rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!ā€.

                                          That said the m600 is nothing compared to the s7 how did you make that conclusion ?

                                            @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Aren’t they both using WearOS? That was my point, the WearOS on the Polar was a disaster in my opinion, that’s why it went back so quickly. I honestly think that perhaps Suunto should build on the S9, make the baro standard, and further develop a good working ā€œappsā€ environment, and keep on tweaking. I don’t think there’s any other Suunto product that can compete with the S9, and the S7 really doesn’t have a place among a ā€œSuuntoā€ crowd. Just my opinion, and actually, having owned an Apple Series 4 watch, with the above mentioned apps, the Apple would really put down the S7 in a heartbeat. Right now, because of the disaster I had with the Spartans I had, and the ā€œidiosyncrasiesā€, I’m using a Fenix 6 Pro Sapphire, and like it. That’s not to say I couldn’t be swayed, but the internal maps, reduced size, and other features like SpO2, Respiration, and Body Battery, really impress me with their accuracy.
