Suunto 9 Discounts
-
Available to buy from end of june 2018. Check old (and almost retired) forum for Suunto
-
@cosmecosta that’s not accurate…multiple 9 baro versions are 30% off.
-
@stromdiddily yeah. But not all. Standard black and white no discount. Wonder if there will be something very soon oder later. So excited. Very happy with my S9B. But I think of buying G2 if it kicks ass…
Most spekulativ for me is, if it is a S7 (display, wear OS) with today’s S9 characteristics, battery… I would also think of updated OHR with oxymeter…
-
good for everything, but hopefully not wearOS
-
@stromdiddily These offers are regional, don’t apply in every market. Here the Spanish web shop without discount:
-
It seems that also the5krunner is betting on a new S9 arriving soon:
My suspicion is that we will see a Suunto 9 Gen2 and a Suunto 5 Gen 2 as well as a few more onboard software features at the same time. I don’t know the naming nomenclature – be it Gen 2 or 2020 or v2. We will see software features also continuously added to the Suunto 7 Wear OS app, all I know there is that Suunto is ‘considering’ the omissions that have been raised by users but that no roadmap is available for our eyes.
-
@cosmecosta That grey s9b is amazing.
@isazi looks like good times are coming after all this lock down…
Simple as ABC.
-
@cosmecosta let me know if you want me to buy one for you and ship your way
-
I recently picked up a S9 Baro Gold Leather, think I got around a 20% discount on it. Easily the best looking S9 I have owned
-
Any news/hints about newcomer?
-
probably in the first half of june, like always (every two years)
-
@MiniForklift If I was to purchase another, it would be Copper! My favorite finish. But have to admit, the Gold is awesome.
-
@dulko79 I think we need to be realistic about new devices from anyone. The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted supply chains worldwide and now because of stay at home and lockdowns implemented world wide, the companies that sell those devices are unlikely to have the personnel to test, (assemble in Suunto’s case) and provide the final development necessary. Not to mention distribution of the devices. I think all manufacturers devices will be delayed by this and I think most development is likely moving more slowly than intended. I hope that the smaller companies survive and my thoughts go out to the employees that are affected now and will be affected in the coming year or longer…
-
Would it be possible that Suunto 7 already one of the two years upgrade and next new product will be 2022?
-
@Kai-Liu there will always be new products be introduced as long as the company exists.
It does not make sense to speculate and wait.
Get what you want now
-
Releasing a new watch would require some major improvement like a new chip, lower power consumption, lower core voltage etc. I do not see anything at horizon that would matter for endurance sports except maybe for some new ideas on kinetic energy recharging.
GPS chipsets are at pretty much same offering as at s9b launch two years ago. And Sony leads other by a large margin in power consumption.
-
@lexterm77 give me 10 more hours of GPS tracking and I will gladly buy the next version, or an ability to stop/resume later.
25ish hours is not enough time for my slow a$$ and is the primary driver for me moving away. I want so bad for Suunto to come out with something that checks that box.
-
@stromdiddily what is wrong with Endurance mode? That will get you 50h. With a belt on Best you should get 30-34h.
-
@Brad_Olwin I like accurate pace and distance measurements and don’t want to buy a stryd?
Understood that 5 sec ping + fused track would be generally acceptable but why settle for that when literally every other flag ship watch has 35+ hours of tracking?
The majority of the items on my S9 wish list thread are pretty basic and mostly still outstanding. A lot of those boxes are also checked by competitors. I really like Suunto products but there is a widening gap emerging.

Agreeable, but watches that have better battery life are also newer than the S9, that is already two years old today.
