IT IS GOING TO BE HUGE

But i don’t understand the naming policy.

I really hope the bezel won’t rotate. The default environment for these watches involves dust, mud, and the inevitable impacts with hard surfaces. So, the fewer moving parts the better. It could work with a heavy-duty dive-watch style bezel, but this would impact the weight of the watch…

@Ivan-Vasilev The last watches had been military tested… I would like Suunto continue that path

Yes, it’s look like the bezel will turn but in fact i can’t understand why. There isn’t segment in the bezel.

I hope that, if a new watch comes, it will have long battery life and good accuracy for GPS/altimeter. And it needs a screen that I can look at easily. If it has this, I’ll order one on release day. If not, I will keep my S9 Peak for a while longer.

@isazi My guess is something similar to polar maybe where the central timekeeping info is static and you can ‘rotate’ screens based on what you want to see?!
Contrary I would love for the bezel to half-rotate as someone said (like zoom on camera). Just imagine scrolling through screens while training with the bezel - cool

Whatever the shape, weight, or material, I hope Suunto keeps maintaining a simple and effective user interface, which is the main reason I love this brand…

Did I miss anything or why are we talking about rotating bezels? That’s a feature that didn’t even cross my mind when thinking about new Suunto watches.

@Ivan-Vasilev I suspect the bezel is rotating. For me, your arguments against having a rotating bezel are totally valid.

@skifun I don’t think it will rotate because I don’t think Suunto will be adding such a complication to a newly designed uX (if think s9pp has this new UX ) plus adding a moving part (rotation) would mean a very difficult hardware implementation to maintain waterresistancy at 100m …
but let’s see

So much buzz today, it has not been like that I do not remember

@dulko79 it’s the spring buzz!

@isazi since when 5cm is huge?

New watches, rumours, rotating bezels…

I think this is the long awaited successor of the Ambit series. IMHO the S9 needed nearly 4 years to come to the same feature level.
I hope we will see maps with routing capabilities and dual frequency GNSS. I would like to see at least 3 S+ apps at once and the possibility to upload a gpx track during an activity. Maybe something like ClimbPro and a PacePro feature which works better for trailrunning with a slower pace on steeper climbs would round up my wishlist.
A nice to have is autodetect uphills and downhills and set laps based on this natively (not as S+ app) and location based laps (e.g. a set waypoint in a tracks triggers a lap). TBT navigation but ETA/ETE/distance/elevation to the next set waypoint (not TBT direction) would also be very nice.

Let‘s see what we will get soon

@thanasis I hope it will not rotate.
