      @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?

              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.

                          @lexterm77 the Sony one. Wasn’t the S9 the first flagship with the Sony? I’m just going by memory, haven’t had time to check.

                            @isazi yup you are correct. S9 came out as the first watch with this autonomy and the first watch with the Sony chipset.

                                What watch has larger batt life than s9b? But same chip, must be larger battery.

                                  @isazi yeah totally understand, Suunto set the battery life bar which has now been met and raised.

                                  Was commenting in response to lexterm that releasing a new product doesn’t necessarily mean some quantum leap in technology.

                                    I Agree, but it’s like releasing a Flagship laptop with same cpu after 2 years.

                                        @stromdiddily @lexterm77 @isazi Suunto improved on the Ambit series with two models above the Ambit 1. Those were significant updates to the hardware that permitted functions not available on the prior models, A3P is probably the best example where BT connectivity was introduced and pinnacle of the Ambit series. My understanding is that everything Suunto could do with the Ambit was done and the next watch was a complete change (Spartan) with the current S9b as the flagship. If you look at past history Suunto is unlikely to release a flagship that is a minor update to the S9b. Suunto would want hardware sales from existing owners and attract new customers so I would bet the next model will be a significant upgrade, not a minor one. That said, I have no knowledge nor information, this is my guess on what they have done in the past. Suunto was the first with the Sony chip (interesting how other manufacturers were at least a year behind), first with smart battery management and still has the highest resolution screen. Since Suunto has their own manufacturing facility I’ll bet they can be more nimble with new technology. Anyway I am sure we will see an S9 successor but not sure when and I’ll bet it is a major upgrade. Suunto has pushed their maps into the S7 and my opinion is that the implementation is absolutely brilliant! Their engineers and designers put a lot of thought into this, I would love to see the maps somehow integrated into an S9 level watch, it would be a game changer. Anyone that has used the Garmin map implementation know it is fairly clunky. There really isn’t much the S9b is lacking compared to Coros or Polar, mainly some battery life and some additional training/analysis firmware. I think SuuntoPlus could be leveraged to bring the S9b close even though it is 2 years old. The successor will likely be that (a successor) and not simply an iteration. Just my 2 cents worth. And I am willing to wait, the S9b is a great watch and does what I need it to.

                                          @Brad_Olwin i don’t like maps in Garmin watches. Navigation must be simple to read in a small screen like a watch. And like navigation implementation as there is in S9. Maybe the only missing is distance made and distance to be reach on a route in same screen. I love auto router programme in Suunto app. Very intuitive. I hope Suunto Plus give important things like auto intervals detector.
