New Suunto watch coming
-
@babychai on the back side of the watch you can read… Made in China
-
@DMytro If we remember S3F, it was made in China, and few years later we got S3 made in Finland. Both were pretty much same watches, but Finland one had better build quality and materials. My wife had S3F which died, and later she got S3, which my sister uses for few years now.
-
@Egika I had tried the Coros Vertix 2 less summer and didn’t like it at all (basically the UX/UI and backend stuff), but on the topic of scroll-wheel it was a bit of a gimmick. It was OK, but I ended up programming it so it was more of a touch button than a scroll wheel. It did not make it easier to use - just different.
-
If it’s legit, I am wondering if they used the same (meaning SLOW) display like in Vertical. It’s going to be fun to scroll through the menu…
-
Vertix / Vertical
Pace / RaceIs there a pattern here?
-
@Łukasz-Szmigiel next model must be a summit then XD
-
@Łukasz-Szmigiel Ambit3 Vertical preceded Vertix by how many years?
-
Suunto will be tickling Coros and Garmin on the specs people want in 2023.

@Highlands said in New Suunto watch coming:
Is it a new series of watches or some kind of successor to S5?
Perhaps a competitor of Apex series of Coros or the Forunner?Maybe more like and enduro? Bigger and slimmed down on features for max battery life and aimed at ultras?
Which seem to be the target customer of Suunto .A watch without everything that people complained: step counting, sleep algo, resources etc… (we know they are getting solved).
Could be a good target!
Made in Finland was nice but if made in china within similar conditions and sustainability measures, all fine for me.
If this is needed for Suunto to be more successful and have more resources , be it! -
When vertical was coming I had a lot of expectations (that are totally satisfied !). For this one I’m just very curious to see what is coming.
-
Seems quite soon after the Vertical ?!
Curious to see what’s in ! -
@v-sacre A pinch of OLED, sprinkled with a good battery and, to top it all off, an attractive price.
-
@Highlands ah the legendary Ambit. Why won’t Suunto just refresh the ambit and call it a day.
-
@Łukasz-Szmigiel Couldn’t agree more
-
…and it will have NFC so ‘SUUNTO pay’ or something like that is on the way.
-
Kind of a new version of Suunto 7 ?
A more sexy watch for more urban people ? -
@v-sacre the name ‘race’ does not make me think lt is an android watch. Also, from internal photos I could not spot any real micro-processing unit. Only memory is there.
My guess? This will be the real new suunto flagship model with Music on-board, payments and perhaps, OLED display. -
@fluca please no flagship, I have Vertical already
-
@Likarnik sorry dude! I am on S9PP and will stay there for a while. If everything is going as expected this new watch will be out by December/January before for the Chinese New Year.
Your vertical will be obsolete (but fully supported) in June/October 2024 when the Vertical PRO (or Vertical 2) will be out as well. Of course, this is just my speculation.
The old SUUNTO we used to love does not exist anymore. To survive they have to do like others do, now they have resources to do so. -
