            @Mi_chael the one I ordered on launch day better ship before then since they charged my credit card.

              Soooo, I just snatched one (Titanium version) from a local jewelry that has a store on Ebay. Immediate delivery and will be arriving next week.

                @General_Witt We’ll see next week… 🙂

                I have been using Garmin, Polar, Coros and Suunto watches for 20 years for running and cycling. I currently have Suunto Race.

                  @wcreasyl Ordered via the website at 01:00 AM PST on Oct 17. No updates yet. Just spoke with Suunto chat, and they informed my delay of 2 weeks.

                    @colinmacdon where are you based? I am in the Netherlands and they mentioned I should receive a shipping confirmation today and the watch by the end of next week… still not great since Amazon NL/DE have this available for next day delivery since launch day…

                      @colinmacdon When I spoke with chat, I was told that an internal email was sent to find out about why the order is potentially delayed and that I would receive an email when it ships. I’m going to assume that I am in the same boat as you, which is fine. Now I know that I won’t have it in time for an upcoming event. Too easy, you know!? Communication is important to me as a customer.

                        Honestly, what we have seen (or actually not seen) from Suunto the last couple of days is simply not good enough. A company trying to get back into business shoul deliver in their promises or at least communicate to them.

                          I’ve worked in product for many years, and this is about as bad as I’ve seen for an international launch. Multiple colours and options in marketing material and then one offering in some regions and just two in others. shambles.

                          They were definitely spooked by Polar and tried to counter attack hard. it’s ended up being a sh1t show.

                          I’m not entirely impacted by this, but to watch it play out is embarrassing and proper cringy. I feel sorry for those who work in product, this will have been a management decision with no real idea of the impact it will have. Sort it out Suunto!

                              @colinmacdon sadly i didn’t get any notification - chat said it was DHL which usually delivers very quickly so it seems more of a warehouse issue.

                                @matthinsh why spooked by Polar? Release date was planned months ago. Some issues with stock from the Chinese factory must have impacted the availability of the Titanium models in some markets. In China, close to the factory, watches were shipped already the 13th.

                                    @zhang965 A little communication from Suunto to those of us impacted would go a long way.

                                      @sir_max on https://web.global-e.com/order/track, my order used to say processing, but now says nothing. Just indicates: Placed on:17/10/2023 09:02:24 UTC

                                        @colinmacdon latest update from support:
                                        It seems that the order is on ‘Hold by Global-E.’ Unfortunately, i dont have information why did that happen. I will forward this case internally and investigate the issue. We will let you know via email once the order has been sent or we know why this problem happened.

                                          Just my two cents.
                                          I ordered SR Steel version and SR Titanium version separately on Oct 17.

                                          Today I received a notification from UPS that they are delivering something for me (I suppose this is the Steel version order).

                                          And then I received an email from Suunto that shipping of my order is “slightly delayed more than expected”. Asked them about rough estimation.

                                          Garmin Forerunner 210 Black (ret.)
                                          Suunto Ambit3 Peak Black (gave it to my father)
                                          Suunto 9 Peak Granite Blue Titanium (gave it to a runner in our running chat)
                                          Suunto 9 Peak Pro Titanium Sand (waiting on the shelf)
                                          Suunto Race Titanium Charcoal (current)
