    @twekkel
    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,

                        @Hristijan-Petreski most commercial solar cells only work with the visible light which means a layer in the glass that doesnt let all light into the display. There are cells that us other wave lenghts but not sure if the are commercial ready yet.

                          @Brad_Olwin Agreed. I too am not requesting solar, just stated if it gives decent results I might go for it. I would be very happy to get offline maps and routing as well as running more plus apps.

                            I ask for this in (almost) every survey!

                                If you plan a route and use distance left field that is covered - the route altitude profile page shows elevation gain left as well. So I think those are covered. That is for the entire course, not to next way point.

                                  @Brad_Olwin I’m hoping future device updates will include additional features within the Back to Start function, such as ETA or ETE etc. These only seem to work when following a route.

                                    @Brad_Olwin but that is exactly what I would like to have. Elevation to the next self-marked waypoint.
                                    And auto-lap when I reach it would be a nice addon.

                                      @trailcafe I would like that too, no one else has it and would be better than ClimbPro in my opinion. I will forward this idea although I have no idea what happens to the ideas I propose.
