Suunto watches to come in 2024

Tieutieu

Does package marking “designed and made in Finland” means that the Race S itself will be made in finland ?

raceaddict

@Tieutieu Everything in the documents seem to indicate it , first and foremost it is registered by Suunto Oy (as 9pp and vertical) and not Suunto Sports Technology( Dongguan)Co., Ltd. (as race)

Tieutieu

@raceaddict Also in antenna specifications test report doc, there are some “3d representations” with no rotative crown, but 3 buttons like on SV.
If so this RACE S would be as close to the SV than the SR : a perfect mix in a smallest design !
That makes me so impatient !!

raceaddict

@Tieutieu But in the same document there is a view with a crown. And these representations seems too close to the vertical . I think they are only “representations”
I hope we will see soon

Tieutieu

@raceaddict Ohhh right I had not seen it at first. Let’s wait (please not too long ! ) and see !
But on the other side I had sworn to my wife I would not buy a new Suunto until a while…

Best guess? End of May or June?

@raceaddict Ugh, a Race S in a size like that (43-44mm) I would like very, very much. Maybe too much.

Nope, that tells nothing about the actual release date. It’s just a date until which no further info on the new watch will be disclosed by the fcc. One could interpret it as “we’ll have more info and watch will come out before november”.
Usually, it takes something like a month I think between the fcc file and the release so I expect more info coming out in june.

@taziden In a few days in Germany starts the Zugspitz Ultra Trail Event in the bavarian mountains perhaps Suunto Release there their new Race S Modell? Would be great happy Weekend to you all

New Suunto Race S images circulating in Reddit. Price tag @ 350 € if true is awesome. Pictures from retailers being available the release seems near.

raceaddict

@dulko79 Construction seems more plasticky. At least amoled and maps are confirmed. 1.32" screen is great for this watch size.

Alpha

Please, dear Suunto!..
I want a new military, hunting watches Traverse Alpha!!!
There is still no successor!!!
I just want to upgrade to more powerful sw, case and battery life! All the features on the old Traverse Alpha are sufficient (ideal).

Thank you in advance for granting my request!

@raceaddict size is perfect if confirmed! yet to find out if titanium will be available (although I don’t mind if the case is made of polymer, the lighter the better, Pace 3 docet). Also, I am curious to see if it will be manufactured in Finland, hope so

@Alpha take a look at the upcoming Suunto Race S, meets your request, cheaper, without sacrificing the features of the top of the range (without red IR back light though).

@cjanevate at that price point, made in Finland is very unlikely i think let’s see

@cjanevate
not sure the the automatic shot detection of the traverse alpha will be there in the new Race S

freeheeler

@Mff73
automatic shot detection could be solved with an S+ app and used with any newer suunto watch, but I think I comment what you know already
however I think this is quite a niche of people who need to track their shots. the hunters I know don’t even wear sport watches and they don’t track killing wild animals as a sport
