We have time to see what’s coming

@Mff73 wow, doesn’t look like suunto at all. Honestly, gives me ‘bright-acid-samsung’ vibes. But I’d rather see in person first.

I will be blamed to have shared this pitcure I guess, but it is just “inside” the latest SuuntoAPP apk.

@DMytro somehow reminds me of Coros. To a certain extent.

Dear diary, I need to write down my feelings somewhere, so here we go:

I am glad we, Vertical early adopters, did (most probably) the testing for this

No, but honestly, I have very mixed feelings about this and feel a bit let down. I get there will be always a newer watch, but considering the past releases this is coming out of nowhere (at least for me) just a few months after Vertical was released (and tested the patience of a bunch of users). I just wish they would skip Vertical and introduce this one instead… even though the story with bugs and flaws would be probably the same…

My guess is it will be targeted to a completely different audience (a la Suunto 7 vs 9 Baro)…at least that’s what I’m hoping to avoid that feeling you’ve described

[Lechamoix]

@stromdiddily It’s been speculation from the start. Let’s wait for the official announcements. The S9 era is over, so the catalogue will evolve.

[Frederick Rochette]

I just hope that the SV will benefit from all the software features of these watches…

[isazi]

@Frederick-Rochette I mean, if a new watch is coming, the SV will get all the new software features.

[DMytro]

@tomasbartko tbh over the last few years suunto released a new watch every 6 month or so. And since s9p people always said “i wish suunto would release this watch right away and not the previous model”. I think to a certain extent this happens with every piece of tech one is interested in.

Sorry in advance, i am in a bad mood today
I loved my Spartan Ultra i bought from release, but i am still remembering this sentence : “we are making FW alignments between spartan and S9 to be able to release new stuffs more easily”, and Spartan never received any new feature (except day of week bug fix ).
But hey, my adventures with my Spartan are still great one
I never go trough S9, but used S9P and S9PP to see improvements, but not much to me. While Vertical is now a real new good friend on my wrist … for long years ?

@Mff73 Now that is an ugly watchface… Moving away from minimal design…

[Saketo Nemo]

@Mff73

Spartan was released in 2016 and was updated for over three years, until hardware limitations took over.

Look at the most recent ones. 9baro came out in 2018 and recently received an update, aka 5 years of support.

I would say that buyers of Vertical (but also of 9 Peak Pro) can rest assured from this point of view.

@Mff73 wow that’s really vivid, disco style. But with bright oled display it could be interesting to younger generations. I believe Vertical will stay with more calm tones.

[isazi]

@Dušan-Ković well, the 9PP watchfaces were not minimal at all, neither is the Vertical watchface. And maybe, this specific watchface is made to highlight the screen capabilities

[DMytro]

@isazi we’re talking oled?

[Dušan Ković]

@isazi If you compare them to that new-disco watch face, s9pp watch faces are super minimal xDD

But I guess this is to show off OLED screen, you don’t need super-shiny-disco watchface to show off standard screens

@DMytro yeah I get it, I am just being emotional …
