@aroo7 end of life.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos that’s actually great! There are not a lot of devices on the market that isn’t eol 3 years after release.

@łukasz-szmigiel just one possible catch, at some point older hardware will have difficulties catching up with new features, e.g. the S9B does not have SPO2 hardware.

It does not mean the baro is eol though.

DMytro

@isazi I thought so too btw. Probably most of updates will be bug fixes and s+ stuff, which is shared by s9p

Saketo Nemo

@дима-мельниченко
I don’t think that was meant. The point is that the lack of specific hardware (spo2) cannot be circumvented with software development.

DMytro

@saketo-nemo yes and because for regular s9 a lot of stuff was done already, it might boil down to the things I mentioned.
But we’ll have to see

Until that sad moment, let’s call it “The Spartan Event Horizon”*, where the FW just has to move on to cater to the new kid’s HW differences. (As @Saketo-Nemo just wrote.)

*Always in our hearts. Not long for our wrists.

@isazi completely understandable.

Nearly bought a S9B yesterday…
Now waiting

I agree with these points especially with @isazi and @Saketo-Nemo, given the release of brand new S9 baro designs and lighter titanium, one would expect development to continue. In fact, given the “new watch” that is coming has S9 for a name, one would expect the watch to be similar to the S9baro. Hopefully the firmware for both watches would be developed together and continue until an S9 upgrade is developed. Don’t forget that Suunto has reliably been the first to integrate new technology, first with wrist GPS I believe in a watch-sized device (X9), first with FirstBeat (T6), first with long battery life and FusedAlti (Ambit), first with intelligent battery management and first with Sony chip (S9b), first with WearOS co-processor use for sports (S7). We had 3 iterations of Ambits that evolved but were not the radical switch from T6 to Ambit or from Ambit to Spartan.
I would not expect a radical change with a watch having the S9 for a name. That would be reserved for the S10, 11 or 12 (or whatever the name becomes).

@brad_olwin I believe Suunto was also the first with support for apps on the original Ambit and the first with a high-res screen on the Spartan series capable of 7 data fields and a lap table during activities.

@pschenn
suunto was also the only watch maker and analysis platform supporter out of one hand (that I found…) to read ascent rate in meters per hour for specific selected sections of an activity…

I hope this is coming back one nice sunny and cloudless day in the future

Very curious about the new suunto, specially about confort!
For me, perfect size is somewhere between 44-42mm…
Before buying the F6S, tested the 945 (47mm) and found it “too big” . But then weight, height, shape and strap play a huge role in confort.
FR45 (42mm/36g) was utterly confortable for me while F6S Sapphire (42mm/61g) is not pleasant to use. Nylon strap made it better but not perfect.
Hope sunto nails on this!
I tested for some minutes a Suunto 9 Baro on my whirst and while it seemed confortable it too big, won’t go back to such big watches.
Hope we can see it soon “live”.
