Suunto 3 Fitness Thoughts

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 12 Jan 2018, 10:41

Yep as @TheRunningDaddy Said.
However, keep in mind that like all os/platforms they have sw and hw limitations.
You cannot fit all the stuff in all the iPhones for example and the same goes for Android etc.

Welcome to modern world development.

Not interested on the new watch itself. But some of the software features look interesting, looking forward to come to the spartan line.

Luís Pinto · 12 Jan 2018, 10:58

@alberto-yoldi I have the same opinion as you.

TheRunningDaddy · 12 Jan 2018, 11:15

@alberto-yoldi the same here. In terms of design it’s descent looking, elegant yet to fragile for me (apart from formal meetings/suit & tie clothing occasions). Still pretty excited that it brings new functionalities that I’d love to see on Spartan (mainly wrist based HR series).

@alberto-yoldi However, my girlfriend already asks me to preorder

Luís Pinto · 12 Jan 2018, 11:23

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Yes, girls love Suunto’s style!

Luís Pinto · 15 Jan 2018, 09:48

I see this product for people who make indoor activities such as treadmill, spinning fitness, cardio, gym, etc and also want a beautiful daily watch.

Luís Pinto · 15 Jan 2018, 09:56

@brad_olwin I’m convinced that Suunto 3 will have support for footpods like Stryd, Milestone or Runscribe and any that have bluetooth 4.x. And will permit that you can save the route having it paired with the smartphone. It will make sense for occasional activities.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos · 15 Jan 2018, 10:15

@luís-pinto looks like it. From what I read around.

Mi_chael · 15 Jan 2018, 10:26

Yes, it will be great if it’s compatible to footpod.
Or, it can use the gps of the phone like the Polar A370.

@brad_olwin Suunto 3 Fitness will be launch at April 4th and will include NFC payments later: http://www.suunto.com/News/bpay-and-suunto-partner-to-meet-growing-demand-for-contactless-payment-timepieces/

@luís-pinto and as usual Suunto partners with a strong actor of the market

jthomi · 20 Mar 2018, 18:12

Those pics you can see on the DCRainmaker page from the software, is this a complete new one? Only available right now on the coming S3F? So, when S3F is launched, there may be a firmware update for Spartan similar to this?

Luís Pinto · 20 Mar 2018, 18:28

@jthomi I can’t anwser to that, because i simple don’t know.

jthomi · 20 Mar 2018, 18:43

I guess nobody knows here, and the ones that know won’t tell us!

Luís Pinto · 20 Mar 2018, 18:46

@jthomi yes, i’m more interest to see features. If it will be on 4th April or 17th is less relevant.

jthomi · 20 Mar 2018, 18:47

@luís-pinto Thats right, looking forward to the release, and since there are 4 updates in a year, every 3 months, there could be a new firmware just around the corner!

SlaSh · 20 Mar 2018, 19:42

@jthomi there should be FW update as April is quarter after last upgrade.

Luís Pinto · 20 Mar 2018, 21:11

@slashas And in yours opinion which will be the new features of next FW?

NicolasP · 20 Mar 2018, 21:20

@luís-pinto only Suunto knows.
As @slashas said should be this quarter.
Be patient and you will have the pleasure to discover the new features soon
