@trailcafe said in speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches:
the possibility to upload a gpx track during an activity
you can already do that

I hope Suunto don’t make as Garmin with a lot of models like titanium or stainless steel, solar or not…

@Mi_chael
Don’t you like being able to choose? -
I prefer Suunto do what they always done:
Quality
Fiability
Accuracywhat answer to the marketing rules.

@Mi_chael
We agree. I choose Suunto for the same reason. Having more choice doesn’t always mean sacrificing those values -
As far as solar goes - I think it might make sense on something like a bike computer, where you have a larger surface for the solar panel, but also constant exposure to sunlight due to its static position.
With watches you lose both of these advantages - I think any benefit from the solar charging is going to be marginal and it wouldn’t make sense for Suunto to invest resources in something, I would consider mostly gimmick. -
@Ivan-Vasilev DCRainmakers tests of the solar variants of Garmin’s bike computer does not show significant battery loadings from the solar power. The only watch that benefits of it is the Instinct solar as far as I know.
Anyone can judge if solar is an advantage or not. I think it’s a nice to have, but battery itself is definitely enough for my needs (Enduro 2).
I use GPS with automatic settings, so it switches between single- and multi-band depending on the signal quality which should end up somewhere between 70-80h of GPS recording…never tested it

If there will be solar charging, it does not necessarily mean “solar like others do it”…

Hello all!!
I only ask for a little respect with the leaks or else I will delete the post… a lot of work and a lot of enthusiasm from a lot of people who are playing behind this… so please wait for official news and respect the work of so many people.

@vlado
In fact they are, maybe some old ones survived -

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.
Watch: Suunto Vertical Ti

@skifun
Suunto Pro Club price will be just too tempting to resist -

Is this a new rule? With the 9 peak pro there were links etc. well before it was released.

@el2thek I think there is no need for further questions and answers on this. We just stick to it. Be happy to be able to catch a glimpse already
