@Egika Do we know what time on October 17th the orders open up?

Don’t know.
Let’s see

@SuperFlo75
same rule like for bikes and ski equipment applies for watches: reasonable amount is n+1

[GiPFELKiND]

@SuperFlo75 i Love my Suunto watches 🫀🫀

[SuperFlo75]

@freeheeler You have a wife? Mine is almost critical according these new things we like

[freeheeler]

@SuperFlo75
yes I do, she’s very lovely and tolerant
and she’s got her 4th Suunto
A2R, A3R, S7 now S9PP

[SuperFlo75]

@freeheeler I gave her my S9PP when I bought the SV, but she uses it rarely… I think she loves me more than doing sports…

@martintrail Thanks, I have exactly the same circumference and I was worried whether the watch would be too big

[craigeggleton]

Took the plunge and placed my order this morning.

[wcreasyl]

@craigeggleton Same here. Also got the Wings because why not

[Danny poleg]

@wcreasyl Don’t forget to update the software for the headphones after they are connected to the suunto app

@Egika I got yesterday the new Race and the step counter seems much better than the algo on the Vertical. On the Race i have no recorded steps while brushing my teeths. The Vertical has counted around 400-500 steps haha.

Perhaps it would be better to use an electric toothbrush

Got the Race today . First impressions:

The box is completly different as usual:

Updating and installing maps worked perfectly and … maps showed up instantaneously after getting a valid GPS fix.

When hand is lowered the breadcrumptrail is still visible

AMOLED display is very bright and high contrast

Brightness set to Medium

@Ollipolli Peak 9 Pro, after sleeping to 7 AM (reset on midnight) i had 900+ steps count

Are you sure you are not sleepwalking ?

[helgonet12]

@ChrisA do you think it is to bright in the evening? Or is it possible to adjust it so it is not to much at evening/ nights?

[ChrisA]

@helgonet12 here are two pics on lowest brightness inactive display in the dark (as good as my iphone gets it 🫣)

And one with active display

I dint find them too bright, not brighter than other Amoleds like on the Apple watch. With do not disturb on, the display gets completely dark and only comes on when you press a button.

@ChrisA thank you so much for the pictures and describing what you think

@ChrisA black is the color of my true love… really cool!
