Suunto watches to come in 2024
-
@cjanevate
not sure the the automatic shot detection of the traverse alpha will be there in the new Race S
-
@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 -
@cjanevate
We need saphir tho ! -
I would never shoot at any animal!!! I like them better than people.
I am a sport shooter and this feature is beneficial to me. But in general I don’t need twenty or more pointless features on a watch that I will never use. For me, a feature set like the Suunto Core is ideal. For that, I sometimes use GPS and often use shot detection. And I love the great durability of the watch. So for me a steel body, sapphire crystal and at least a month battery life! -
@Alpha
no problem I didn’t talk about shooting animals.In fact, you would like Suunto to create a specific watch for you
No extra features except shot detection and GPS.
Maybe you could follow @freeheeler idea : make a request for a S+ app for shot detection and then choose any Suunto watch which suits you and could use it. -

The new Suunto Race S should be out soon, MediaMarkt has two in stock, in Pink and Grey, and I hope they’ll come in titanium too.

@ADidier link? Didnt find this watch in Media Markt Homepage
-
I’m ready to take out my payment card!

@ADidier looks plasticky. I was hoping for s9pp build language
-
@krakra It’s easy to follow the MediaMarkt CDN and find HD version of the pictures. The construction seems close to Coros Apex or Vertix, metal bezel and back but plastic lugs, so for sure more plasticky build than current s9pp, vertical or race.
And the renders, as the ones for the current race, don’t do justice to metal parts, adding to the feeling. -
@raceaddict it will also make the watch lighter that could be nice for some( I prefer full titanium build but it indeed have a cost ), the weight of the watch will tell us if there is some polymer used
-
@GiPFELKiND link didn’t available anymore
-
@raceaddict I don’t know if you are disappointed or not, but in my opinion the Apex is really well assembled and lightweight. I currently own an all-plastic Coros Pace 3 and it is such a joy to use that now I refuse to wear heavy, bulky watches. That said, I really hope the Race S is similar to the Apex in terms of materials and assembly (something between 30-40g), with all the goodness of Suunto inside.
-
@cjanevate I’m waiting to see it in real before being disappointed
-
@raceaddict Hi, I’d be interested in seeing some HD images, if you can give me a link, thank you.

Calculating numbers I realize that, if the Race has a 1.43" screen with a 49mm diameter, this possible Race S, with a supposed 1.32" screen, should be around 46mm (45mm at least).
49mm - (1.43"-1.32") = 46.20mm
Wow, maybe for tiny wrists like mine, it will still be too big. (Bad for me, good for my wallet).

@enriqueescoms In the fcc documents it is said a bezel of 43mm
