speculations and rumours about upcoming Suunto watches

[Highlands]

@MeazzaS9 My idea is wait a couple of months after the release day and see what’s on offer. I remember just before X-mass the 9pp was available on Spanish Amazon for a short period of time at €350 + €10 delivery which even now is unbeatable price. Hopefully, we’ll see good discounts for the new watch as well. But I can’t promise I’ll be that patient… lol

Wow, even now used ones are more expensive.

@MeazzaS9 I think I saw a leaked German/Austrian retailers price, which was 599.- € for the non titanium versions

@ChrisA
Titanium + solar 799€
Stainless steel 599€

[Highlands]

@André-Faria One has to act fast when a good offer is available.

Among all potential specs that have leaked, I’ve seen only one that would disappoint me a bit : mention of screen resolution 280x280. It would be less than S9b. Really hope it will better than that.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Tieutieu doesn’t that depend on the screen type ? (Display). Also wortht to consider that displays factor is not the resolution for transreflective screens and small screens aka watches.

Hd is ok for smartphones but not for your tv

Fair enough, was just a tought and considering S9b resolution is « better », I’d hope it would have been at least the same

And it won’t protect me from spending my money anyway !

[MeazzaS9]

@ChrisA excellent prices considering the leap in quality, gps etc …
It seems little to me since Suunto 9pp is “slightly” cheaper.
My money will fly

French reseller boulanger listed Suunto vertical and revoked the page.

799€ titanium solar

If it offers “infinite” battery life, like the Instinct 2(X), I consider buying the Vertical.

Livré entre le 9 et le 11 mai

Auchan page is up

[MeazzaS9]

@zhang965 599 € I take it the same day

[altcmd]

86g - ouch! That is gonna be heavy relative to the 9PP.

[zhang965]

Titanium version is 74 g

[altcmd]

@zhang965 both significantly heavier.

[surfboomerang]

@altcmd It’s also a bigger watch. Compared to the S9B it is roughly the same weight

[surfboomerang]

@twekkel I think this should be possible if it is in watch mode. I don’t know why a watch should draw a lot of power in that mode, but I don’t know the details.

[altcmd]

@surfboomerang Point taken but looking at Coros watches, they are quite light relative to the Garmin F7. I think the F7 is a tad bit lighter. Not a weight weenie but just not a fan of wearing heavy watches.

[surfboomerang]

@altcmd Same for me. Lighter = better, but only if does not compromise the robustness of the watch (or has a huge price tag). Last thing you want is cracked cases, scratched glass, broken straps etc just because of some weight saving.
