speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches

[EzioAuditore]

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.

[EzioAuditore]

@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!

@DMytro me too…distance and elevation left

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.

[trailcafe]

@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.

[Brad_Olwin]

@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.

@Brad_Olwin when I remember right, Coros has it… but it‘s been some time I used a Coros watch

[altcmd]

For those eagerly waiting, at least the website has a new look. Maybe new things on the horizon

[EzioAuditore]

@altcmd I like it. More clean and ready to execute my ‘add to card’ on the new watch

[SuperFlo75]

@altcmd I got a new version of my Suunto App today… but I didn‘t saw any differences…,

@SuperFlo75 go the overview section on the training zone of the app, you should see « Suunto coach »

[SuperFlo75]

@Tieutieu Thank you!

Is there something called Suunto coach or you name the report like “coach”
Sorry I don’t understand maybe

[SuperFlo75]

@thanasis I see something called ‚Suunto Coach‘… I think I didn‘t see it before.

@thanasis

@Tieutieu nothing like that in iOS
