@Giorgio60 said in Will OpenSuuntoPlus be coming to Suunto Run?:
@raven
Personalmente non sono minimamente d’acordo! Sono nuovo del mondo Suunto e non ho speso 240 Euro per poi spenderne altre 490 per il Race2. Molte altre case produttrici danno accesso al loro market di applicazioni, campi dati e quadranti. Basta solamente fare una cernita dei widget, allenamenti e altre cose e magari metterle a pagamento per il Suunto Run. Ma blindare un orologio solo con le applicazioni volute mi sembra esagerato, e se fosse così, credo che sia esagerato anche il prezzo del Run. Altri orologi di base, di marche ben conosciute, hanno questa funzionalità. Per il momento resterò sicuramente con suunto Run, ma per gli allenamenti e i Coach utilizzerò i miei orologi di altre marche, che le offrono gratis. Non credo che questa sia una buona politica di marketing (IMHO).
Grazie
No, you misunderstand. The idea is not you spend 490 after spending 240, but instead if you had done research, you’d spend the 490 instead of the 240 if the Suunto+ functionality was something you needed. It’s not that you’re supposed to buy two watches but instead the watch that meets your needs.
Note I wasn’t the one who made the decision on what features Run was not going to get. I’m simply making a guess at what Suunto was thinking.
They want the Run at an entry price point, and Race at a higher point with more features. What features do you leave off the Run to accomplish this?
If the Run and Race have the exact same features, then they should have the same price and there’s no need for them both to exist.
I do think with Suunto now encouraging more people to make S+ apps it’s weird the entry model cannot run them. If it was a “base feature” then that’s more encouragement for more people to make apps.
Anyway, perhaps Suunto will change their minds and add on the capability to run S+ apps from the Run, but given the Run is a separate OS, it’s not simply “putting back” something they took away but instead re-engineering the feature for that OS.
Finally, if you think the Run is overpriced, then what watch would you prefer instead? Perhaps Suunto was not the best fit for you to begin with.
