Suunto 5

could it be better if suunto 9 = 7, suunto 9 baro =9;
so we already have 3 5 7 9?

I do not think they will rename existing models. Rather, I believe that the new S5 with baro etc. will be later the next S7.

yes but they renamed once suunto 9 to suunto 9 baro

and I thought both exist in parallel ?

@Egika
Yes but initially suunto 9 has baro, just months after they showed a suunto 9 without baro and renamed old 9 to 9 baro

Suunto 9 Baro
Just released in June 2018 so don’t expect a replacement before 2020 This is the device reviewed as “Suunto 9” by most reviewers, but is not the newer, crapper Suunto 9

Suunto 9
Just released in September 2018 so don’t expect a replacement before 2020. This is the name in all the reviews, but a newer, slightly crap version of the device. Buyer beware, make sure you know what you’re buying. Yes, Suunto do have a watch called the Suunto 9 in both mid-range and high-end. Madness.

what do you mean? How is the non baro version mid range if I understand correctly ?

I just copied it from GPS rumors

I think Suunto 7, will be Spartan Sport evolution (sure you think same) and this model has 3 variants: Normal/Wrist/Baro

Non Wrist model makes no sense, so I think, we could see 4 models

• Suunto 5 => Baro and Non Baro
• Suunto 7 => Baro and Non Baro

Differences between 5 and 7 should come (from my perspective) in:

• Design => based on SSS, no external antenna
• Battery => battery between 5 and 9
• Firstbeat => they could add Training Load, or other…

We will see

@suzzlo what about price difference between 5 and 7?

Why they add more firstbeat features to 7? If I followed the 3 5 9 logic, 7 should have less firstbeat features and 9 has non firstbeat features

[suzzlo]

@dulko79

S3 -> 200
S5 -> 300
S7 -> 450
S9 -> 600

makes sense?

[zhang965]

@suzzlo so S7 baro is upper than s9’s price?
S5 baro is upper than s7?

[suzzlo]

@zhang965 the S7 should have 8 Firstbeat features, since 5 has 6 (https://www.firstbeat.com/en/consumer-product/suunto/suunto-5/)

[suzzlo]

@zhang965 no idea, I’m just saying what makes sense to me, no info here, just hopes!

… or 18 features like Forerunner 945

Or a new model called suunto 18 with all of 18 firstbeat features?

@suzzlo 150 jump from 300 to 450 seems a bit steep for better materials, compass, better battery…unless more FB features are added to 7. What about release date?

It’s just a guess from suzzlo

[suzzlo]

@dulko79 If I can buy one S7 in black friday for less than 400€ I will be very happy

[zhang965]

@suzzlo a suunto 9 on Amazon is about 380 euros
