    I find the price tag for the pro also quite painful in the wallet, especially the titanium that my wife has… but on the sunny side, I really appreciate to know that we support sustainable production and workplaces in Europe

      @André-Faria well, to counter your experience, I had pretty horrible data from 245, 955 and F7. Sleep data consistently said I was awake for 2 hours when I know I wasn’t. Plus the 245 and 955 got scratched so easily that I didn’t even know how as I am very careful with Garmin stuff especially. I cannot vouch for Suunto data accuracy either but can say that S9 has been extremely laggy. However, if your S9P TI got scratched more easily relative to a 245, I think something might be wrong with your watch. Titanium body with sapphire glass vs all plastic 245 - try dropping them and my guess is the latter will come out worse almost all the time.

        Am I the only one not waiting for a new Suunto watch? Then I no longer have the latest and greatest and it is way too early to upgrade 😊

          @twekkel haha, I think the forum is dominated by excitement of the users who had their S9(B) for a while.

            Years ago a famous car manufacturer said they wanted to stop making cars you need and start making cars you like: you always sell a car you like.

            So, who knows, maybe Suunto will surprise us with a watch that we really like, that goes beyond the things we need. And at that point we would be “forced” to buy it 🙂

                        Ok I am in for “beyond my needs”! Can we make that a marketing quote?😁

                          If there would be a solar and a non-solar variant, which one would you choose. Let’s say non-solar would be like 550-650€ and the solar variant 750-850€. I just make assumptions. I do not know if there are several variants as well as if the price ranges will be real. I just want to know your opinions if we see something like that…

                            @trailcafe non-solar, having a watch 1.5 times the price of my smartphone is already weird enough. Wouldn’t want to go higher than that.
                            Or at least if there are no other difference with essential for me features.

                              @trailcafe depends if battery in performance mode will last 45+ hours then I don’ t need solar. But maybe I’ll still get it if it can boost battery life significantly. But not for 200€ 🙂

                                @trailcafe good question. I am up for everything that makes the battery last longer, but it needs to work. So if a solar watch gives me more battery I can pay for it, if it is just a gimmick, no thanks.

                                  I’ve never had a solar watch and don’t even know how the ones available work.
                                  I would buy it even if it only helps to reduce battery usage in daily watch mode.

                                      @trailcafe if the solar variant don’t need to be charged externally in daily mode - I’d spend the extra $

                                        Since a lot of people are speaking solar I guess they must have some sources that give this ‘speculation’ topic boost 🙂 I just hope that Suunto’s implementation of solar doesn’t affect the screen visibility (except if it is OLED). Because Sapphire + solar panel + MIP = screen that is visible only when there is sun 🙂 (except if they came up with some genius idea behind solar)

                                          @Hristijan-Petreski There are many features I would request prior to solar for making a watch meet my needs. I would love to have a colored by grade zoom enabled elevation profile of my route. I would like a list of way points and the distance to them in real time (currently we have this for the next way point ), I would like offline maps and off line routing in SA. Just a couple of features I would use a lot,
