Suunto 5

[Luís Pinto]

@Mi_chael And with Sony chipset. I bet with better results than S9 because antenna design. I bet also in Galileo support.

oops, it seems only the flagship watch has no Fitness features right?

have you guys regretted buying a Suunto 9 ?

Here I disagree, I think they are for different purposes. Suunto 9 is not intended for fitness. I prefer having more mountain features than fitness. Some of us do not care about fitness at all.

So the Trainer 2 will be named 5. Hope they will release a Baro version!

Thanks for your message,

I don’t get your logic,

if some of us do not care about swimming so we delete?
Such egoism?

The flagship generally get all features, it’s users who decided which to use.

I can’t see no hole on this pic

[Dušan Ković]

@zhang965 Exactly my logic. Give us all features on flagship and add check-boxes/sliders to enable or disable features so the users can choose what they need.

At the same time a new watch from a competitor boasts about 18 first beat metrics whereas s9 has how many exactly?
Buyer beware, it is our fault, noone else’s.

[Holby19]

Why does everyone love the firstbeat features so much. I have had Garmins with more firstbeat features. I didn’t find them super useful. I know when I’m training enough or too much. Battery life, accurate GPS and solid build quality is what I care about most.

[Luís Pinto]

@Holby19 i don’t care so much about firstbeat goodies, except vo2, but all metrics result from hr readings. Wrist hr readings are faulty. So results are too. And human body are much more than a heart. Is head, muscles, bones, fibers, etc.

I will never buy another Suunto watch until Suunto brings all missing features to Suunto 9. Suunto 9 is capable of having all those features. End of story.

Egoism? Why you said that? Do not patronize me for some posts or without knowing me.

Maybe I haven’t explain myself clearly. When you buy your watch, at list I do, you read the features and if it suits you or not. Suunto product line has the S3 for fitness and the S9 has never been intended for fitness, another thing is that you would like to have the features, but it is your desire not what Suunto was offering to you when you bought it.
I have a SSU, and I bought it thinking in running, trail running and routes. When I bought it, if I also would have wanted fitness features Suunto wasn’t my brand, I would have had to look elsewhere.
Now, with this S5, Suunto seems that is giving a reasonable outdoors watch with fitness features, so people will have more options.
What I mean is that I do not get why people complain for the features of something that you have bought freely. You can complain about the quality, the software not working properly, how are implemented some things, complain about some update that kills functions,… but not about some features that you do not have and nobody have said to you that you will have. This is like to complain why your car doesn’t have 200 hp when you bought it with 100 hp.

Suunto is not killing features depending on the model, if the hardware permits it you have all the software features (except for the licensed features), Suunto is not Garmin and does not need to be.

I think the hole will be in the other side (if it has baro), where the two buttons are, I think is where the ambit 3 peak has it. I has and Ambit 3 vertical and the hole was in the upper part (the strap has a cut to not block it).
