speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches
-
@Highlands Agree. I think the current 5 Peak, with the MSRP recently dropped to match the Pace 2, is definitely being positioned as a competitor, so it makes sense that future iterations will vie to continue to stay competitive.
I can envision that budget level of wearables getting more and more cool features sooner rather than later across all brands.

@zhang965 link?
-
@suuntastic +1
-
Based on a cache I have seen, MRP 599 euros in Germany and will have maps. Not sure if this is titanium or not.
-
@altcmd What do we know so far:
- maps
- multiband
- solar
Looks like I’ll buy it.
What else do we know about the watch?
-
@Highlands and price
-
I have at least seen 1 website where I can already buy it.
-
The bezel is still a bit too prominent, IMO.
-
@altcmd Could you share a link of the website? The bezel doesn’t bother me. The watch looks very good imo.
-
@Highlands 48,8 mm case?
So i think 1,3 inch screen?Suunto Spartan Ultra
Suunto 9 Peak Pro All Black
Suunto Vertical -
@altcmd I did see one cache with titanium that had a higher price. So assume the one you saw will be steel.
-
@Ultrawalker I’m ok with the size. I like it.
-
@Highlands if we really get a solar variant, maybe the “black bezel” is for solar charging --> bigger than the Garmin one --> more solar energy
-
@Ultrawalker if you have the photo, it’s actually quite easy to compute: measure the whole profile of the watch in pixels and measure the screen size in pixels. You know the length of the watch profile, so by a simple ratio you can obtain the screen size.
I’m too lazy to do this tho, but maybe someone will.

Let’s put the huge bezel nonsense to test: https://youtu.be/9xaidb98fDs?t=106
Therefore I think the new watch will hide it a bit better and/or introduce solar under it? (given the white line markings though, wouldn’t this affect solar?) -
@Hristijan-Petreski The size of the bezel doesn’t bother me at all as I’ve seen the pic. I’m more concerned about a rotating bezel. I hope it doesn’t rotate.

Just a kind reminder to you all
So the rule is: no leaks. No pictures, no names, no links, just discuss what you look for in a new watch, what you don’t want, what you expect.
-
@sartoric is it still a leak if the details are on a retailer’s page and ready to purchase?
-
well, to me it’s a leak if there is not yet an official announcement.
shops marketing strategies are devilish
… “whooops, that page wasn’t supposed to be published till xx/xx, sorry” -
@sartoric agreed and noted.
