Suunto Run + New Strap

[Sascha Domres]

@dulko79 The Ocean is very very similar to the Vertical only with diving functions. Unfortunately currently an update behind it… And in my experience the updates take a very long time. But at least something is in prospect. For me pers. the most beautiful watch and that even I don’t dive. I just didn’t want a rotary crown like the race … I really hope that the Ocean is not neglected and as, in my opinion, as the flagship, gets all future functions.

I hope that SUUNTO won’t forget the owners of premium SV watches and that you’ll let us benefit from the OS and functions of this SUUNTO Run.
Can’t wait to see what they have in store for us.

@isazi where is located the baro hole? it seems that these watch can be weared on both hands

[enriqueescoms]

I was going to ask if anyone knew the list of available sport modes. But I already found it through Joaquin Pérez Suunto Expert:

Mmm… what a shame. In my case, just including padel tennis would have been enough for 99% of my activities. But, of course, not like that, because I play about 100 matches a year. Too bad for me.

[isazi]

@suzzlo if you wear the watch the normal way, it is in front.

[suzzlo]

@isazi

I cannot find it …

[isazi]

@suzzlo it is at 12 o’clock, you cannot see it in the picture

@suzzlo and you can select in the watch, on which arm and in which orientation you are wearing it.
So right arm, crown facing hand, is possible, as the display is rotated

In this case the baro holes are at 6 o’clock

that was a suggest feature for left handed people, nice that has been implemented

@Egika (Oh how I’d like this in the older models)

[daveathletic]

Maybe has been asked before here, but anyone knows if the new OS from the Run is also coming to the Race/Race S. Kinda like the style of the widgets and the other new UI features. Would be really nice.

[isazi]

@daveathletic I do not think so, the two platforms are separate right now.

I’m a sinister (left-handed) person. Is this possible to implement for Race S?

[daveathletic]

@isazi that’s a bummer , they look quite similar, so thought that the Run has just an upgraded version of the existing OS.
Hope they will upgrade Race series in the future as well.

[isazi]

@daveathletic I much prefer the “old” OS

[cosme.costa]

@isazi Of course you know more than me and I understand that you can’t say anything, according to DC Rainmaker seems that Suunto is evaluating whether to move everything to the new platform or maintain both platforms.

From what I see, the new platform, with the vertical scrolling, will work well with crown watches but I have my doubts with the buttons (SV and Ocean). Anyway I would like to see some of the features and the multisensor support in the SV (and others).

[isazi]

@cosme.costa my guess is that, one day, if everything works out, new watches will be based on the new platform (having one platform is more cost effective), but I do not think that time is now, or even 2025.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@isazi do you have a hint - and can share - which hardware elements changed that allowed for the new OS to run and make it impossible (or very hard to) retrofit to older devices?

[isazi]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel I do not think the hardware changes are what matters here, I would say it is development (and costs). If you update older devices to this different firmware, you would expect to have at least all the old functionalities working, plus new shiny stuff. And that is not the case today. Easier to start with a completely new device, and a more “budget friendly” one, before moving this to more expensive products.

@isazi now it’s real, guys.
