Suunto 5

By the way, does anybody know what’s the use of the small round metal dot on the back of that watch, which is already on the trainer as well (but on no other model as far as I can see) ?

What do you think is there any chance to have drills in swimming.

It looks like no baro to me too.

Have you noticed that they stated it’s going to be compatible with movescount and that there is:

• Waypoint and visual route navigation
• Point of Interest (POI) navigation

Isn’t this strange? They are listing movescount, waypoints and POIs when they are effectively going to ditch those features in very near future.

Otherwise, it looks pretty decent. If it only had barometer it could replace Ambit3 Peak. But unfortunately without a movescount or some new web platform, even with baro, it wouldn’t appeal to me. It would be too inconvenient to use for hiking if I had to create and load routes using my phone. I don’t want to use third party tools for basic watch features. Third party tools may exist now, but there is no guarantee they will work reliably and they will be compatible with the watch at all. Now they work, tomorrow they don’t. They have no obligation to me in any sense.

For me it’s not strange with the connection to movescount, the last email from suunto described:

Suunto movescount.com (web service): 
We have heard from many of you that the Movescount web service is an important part of your Suunto experience.  We continue to review movescount.com and its most important and utilized functionalities.

True, but still, they say that Suunto app is the future of their services. It makes sense that older watches depend on movescount, but this is entirely new product and they are still advertising it with platform that they are not going to develop anymore (and which is still on their kill list).

Oh well, all this uncertainty with Suunto these days… It’s beyond me how poor PR job they are doing. Imagine a new customer buying this watch and expecting to use all the features advertised, only to discover that he/she has to use two different apps for it and be careful to force close one before starting the other etc. Nightmare…

@Emir-Karisik S5 wont be compatible with MC and those product pages are preliminary.

There is no confusion there. One app SA only

@danisius I don’t expect the drills in swimming.

[suzzlo]

So, what we know now is, that Suunto 5:

• Spartan trainer based Inspired by Spartan Trainer
• Sony GPS
• S3F like metrics
• S9 like intelligent battery
• Altimeter, ¿barometer?
• Adaptative training plans
• 350 USD/EUR
• No MC compatibility

Am I losing something?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@suzzlo Spartan trainer based -> not 100% (tip)

@johann-fuehrer I can still see specs in comparison tool, but Combined GPS and barometric altitude (FusedAlti) in Altimeter section has been removed from the table.

Says so on the back (though that render could be wrong) :

Or like on the Polar Vantage something that detects the contact of the skin so that the 24/7 hr consumes less battery if the watch is not worn?
