New Suunto watch coming

[Egika]

The new always is the enemy of the existing.
Same everywhere and always.

Took some pics to compare the built:

@Egika I’m more interested in the SV running new FW

[dulko79]

@Egika display looks nice. Can you show screen with new sleeping tracking?

[Frederick Rochette]

@Lechamoix I really hope it’s a mistake that there’s no sleep tracking and HR threshold tracking on SV!

With a difference of 5 months? I don’t agree…

Not about this new race but about wings - sorry for digression => “answering call function”. That meens it has a mic ?

@Tieutieu
To me it looks more like you “can answer” , not “having a phone call”

[LitchiMonster]

The Suunto Race looks like a great watch! As a Vertical Solar owner, I’m wondering how this would have affected my purchase decision if they came out at the same time. The Vertical, while made in Finland, is much more expensive!

I don’t see many people choosing the Vertical over the Race going forward, I think Vertical sales will take a big dive. That being said, I’m happy I didn’t wait and bought my Vertical when it came out. I’ve had a good few months with my adventure companion!

@Tieutieu Shokz Openrun has a mic, I don’t see why the Wing wouldn’t have one. It would be highly disappointing that at this price, you couldn’t have a phone call with it.

Yes, is actually has 2 mics built in.
Plus it has some other innovative features, like head movement control and built in LED lights.

This is what the SA connection is for: to configure those features

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it04BnEeJEI, seeing this seems an interesting watch, but I don’t know if the watch, the video or my computer, but it seems to still have some lag changing screens.

I can’t - am not a moderator.
But also not neccessary - additional information always is welcome

[dulko79]

@Egika Oh, I didn’t know and I didn’t want to double posts.

So I understand that we’ve bought an SV, which is SUUNTO’s top-of-the-range model, especially in terms of price, and that we’re not going to get all the features (precise sleep and nap tracking, threshold detection) of the Race, which is a much cheaper watch. Do you who don’t work for SUUNTO understand this and are happy with it? I really don’t! If I want a complete watch, I have to buy the RACE, right?

I’m kinda bummed that this watch is made in China, In my point of view, the “made in Finland” thing really set apart Suunto from the crowd (and notably from polar, another Finish company owned by a Chinese company that makes sport watch) and I love that my S9PP is “kinda locally made” (I’m French)
I hope that they will continue to have a good lineup made in Finland, its really hard nowadays to find tech made in Europe

It’s what Suunto did for Suunto 5 vs suunto9, s9 was released without vo2max, but S5 has it.
