@stefan-kersting Yes, completely agree. When you’re in your 20s and 30s you might not have the money or you need it for other things like building a house and the children. A friend of mine sells cars and he sells a lot of new VW Golf GTIs to people 40+ whose dream car that was when they were 20, but they could not afford it back then…

@dulko79 in a couple of years there will be a voice feature that tells you your pace because we can not see it on the watch

[Fenr1r]

@stefan-kersting And folks will complain about the volume, accent and tone. “These young folks don’t enunciate clearly enough for older ears …”

[Rob33]

@fenr1r Laugh, laugh, you’ll see when you’re over fifty …
If you continue to play sports …

[Rob33]

it is through these exchanges that we see that not everyone has the same expectations …

[suzzlo]

@dulko79 we will probably have cyborg eyes, before the lock button is implemented.

[Fenr1r]

@rob33 Wry joke from experience, not mockery. Fifty indeed in rearview, and not as close as it sometimes seems.

And in 2031 “waiting for blink lock” became a Forum signature … In the interim.

And what about a Suunt’Optic online shop? We have beta testers (50’s bad eyed sportsmen), we have designers (too much lock button focused but…) we surely have some marketing guys
What do we miss?

It’s already here. Named Garmin. Already tells you your pace and heart rate. Long-press a light button and you can even call for help. “I fell and I cannot get up!”

@nickk Strava and RK had that. AVG pace per KM. Then its usefull

Endomondo had that too. When running with a mobile phone and headphones it would announce speed, distance etc at every autolap.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@egika right.

For starters this is something nice I think

Wait until you are over 60……as I said the screen on the Peak is brighter than the baro, much easier for me to see when out in the snow on a SkiMo day. It appears sharper to me as well but the ambient backlight helps a great deal when the sun is not shining. I was surprised and was skiing with the baro and Peak most of the time. I love the S7 screen but in bright sunlight and with sunglasses it is impossible to see, the transreflective screens are much better for outdoor use.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos so, as some people use the S7 with BT earphones for music, also the S7 wear app could do this

reminds me of countdowns to notify Mr. Bond in the 70’s how many seconds are left for him to save the world
