@dmytro never buy a product for planned / speculated / promised features. This is a bubble, easy to rupture.
-
@łukasz-szmigiel sure, but if you have a tie between two products, promised features might be helpful. Also to understand the direction a company goes.

They should just do open betas like Garmin does with almost all their watches. Yes it is additional work, but it clearly is key to iron out all the bugs and quirks. You just can’t test all the combinations that a multi sport watch is put through in real life use, unless it is in real life use.

I think is what a field tester do. Real life, break the watch, test it…

@bulkan yes, but how many are there? I’d say you need pretty high cardinality to test all the functions the way you need to discover bugs.

I think someone said once:
“The first rule of field tester club is you do not talk about field tester club”
-
@bobmiles that would be cool, but needs an amount of resources to manage that maybe Suunto does not have. Garmin is a billion dollar company.

under commit and over perform

@surfboomerang
I think this club we don’t talk about needs a telemark skierliving sideways

@freeheeler You’re totally right!
Now that you mention it, I also didn’t see a windsurfer in the video

@darxmurf I fully agree to this concerning features that are not revolutionary new. So if Suunto would release Structured Intervalls, they could announce that and I don’t think that this would be a drastic drawback - just for example: Polar announced in spring of 2021 that they would bring a major firmware update to the Grit X (non Pro) towards the end of 2021 and detailed what features the update would bring (nothing new, but features that were formerly not available for the Grit X) - and they released this update in January now. You can read posts of a lot of happy Grit X users in Facebook now because they eagerly awaited this update - and therefore kept their watch and stayed with Polar as a brand.

@brad_olwin
now that you mention it, I can recall
…but there’s a gap to be filled now -
@isazi it’s todaaaaaaaaay where is it, where is it?
Depending on the Timezone in use, it can be today for a long time
-
@darxmurf
even tomorrow can be today
but it will be within reason, since Suunto is a European based company
