speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches

@isazi well I really hope the size iz 49mm and the screen is bigger. It is one of my biggest drawbacks with the 9p. Especially when I run a structured run I can sometimes barely see what it says.

The other thing is lack of power.

On the wish side there is treadmill accuracy, and hrv,sleep, life analytics.

@isazi I agree. I have always had larger watches - from Suunto to Garmin to Coros - but I currently have the 9PP on a grey Suunto microfiber strap and it’s only 46 grams. It is easily the most comfortable ‘wrist device’ I have ever had, and the best looking. Hoping the upcoming announcement has a few upgrades and bug fixes for the 9PP too, since I bought it for its improved internals and ability to update to more advanced features!

@mikekoski490 the 9PP is not forgotten, it has a substantial update coming (May? June?) to the firmware for what I know, and if there is a new watch coming I would bet that all features that are not hardware dependent will also come to the 9PP.

@isazi what about us poor Peak neighbours? Any hardware updates in the pipeline? It’s been 6 months since anything? The app improvements have been brilliant, especially the Suunto Coach feature, but would love to know if you can get more out of the older watches.

@Steven-Limmer I think at some point it was romoured that older watches should get at least one more update. But it’s been a while, and maybe plans got changed. Usually FW updates go live slightly after new watch gets announced. So we’ll find out soon enough.

@Steven-Limmer older watches should also get updates, for sure. As far as I know all watches we have have updates in the pipeline. Of course, newer watches are more capable and get more features.

Spartan and Ambit series also?

Steven Limmer

@isazi I absolutely LOVE my Peak - it’s the perfect size, and as a long term Suunto user, I’m happy with it. But it would be nice to have improved brightness / menu / power.

I could be very tempted with this new watch, depending on the feature-set, or wait out for the inevitable Suunto 7 upgrade (hopefully with external sensor compatibility; my actual Suunto watch…)

@André-Faria I’m a massive fan of the 9P, I moved from the 9 for it. So comfortable on the wrist, amazing for 24/7 wear. Plus its aesthetically pleasing

Richard Thygesen

@Steven-Limmer I also have a peak but doesn’t really need more functions. I don’t use all that is in the watch now but we all have different needs.

Steven Limmer

@Richard-Thygesen if I had a magic wand, I’d ask for better screen brightness, and running power.

The ultimate watch for me would be the body and features of Peak Pro, with an AMOLED screen…

Really enjoyed reading all the excitement and thoughts here… I can’t wait until the 9th of May also

@MarcW 9 or 10?

Get the feeling Marc is toying with us.

@altcmd May 9th @10:00

@Ketoohs right! For some reason I thought it was 10 May at 10 CET.

@altcmd Got my business calendar set to do-not-disturb, so no one dares to call a meeting then…

It seems that after some questioning, we have all adopted the size of the S9P. I think the size of the SUUNTO Vertical will be 50mm but I could be wrong… so it will be much bigger than the S9P but that seems necessary to have a good navigation. I hope it will be very light though with a bigger (internal) screen size and with better definition, maybe AMOLED. Apart from what is already present in the S9PP and navigation, I would like the following features: full sleep and recovery tracking / HRV test, fitness test / multiple S+ at the same time / NGP as data field / internal music / NFC
And above all a nice titanium watch that doesn’t scratch…
Will see!

@Frederick-Rochette not everybody adopted the S9p size.I did not, even if I do like its small weight and confort ; and totally understand those who like it ! My wife has it, she loves it ! Regarding what we will probably get next week, hard to imagine maps on a small screen ! Size should also enable much better battery capacity.
