How is Suunto's first smartwatch so powerful?

Enomoto:I have used several Suunto sports watches, but what sets the SUUNTO 7 apart from the others is that it is a smartwatch running Wear OS by Google. Personally, I find the maps function and the ability to be notified of incoming LINE and Messenger messages to be very useful.

Yamamoto:. The design is also nice. Most smartwatches have a business-like appearance, but the "SUUNTO 7" is casual and sporty, designed to fit in with everyday life. And even though it is a smartwatch, it does not lose any of the "Suunto" style. I think that's what makes it so appealing.

  

Enomoto:When I think about what is the essence of "Suunto," for my generation, the old "Vector" brand left a strong impression, and that is the starting point of the "Suunto" brand image.

     
  

Yamamoto:I myself first heard of Suunto through Vector. Vector" was a pioneer of high-spec sports watches that could be worn around town. It was equipped with various functions and toughness useful in the outdoor field, while at the same time being sophisticated in design. Since then, I have used various Suunto sports watches, such as the Ambit and Spartan, for running and trail running, and they all share the same concept of "a high-spec sports watch that can be worn in the city. The "SUUNTO 7" is also a stylish watch. The SUUNTO 7 is stylish and fashionable, and I think it is a highly versatile product that can be worn in any situation.

Enomoto:Not only this "SUUNTO 7," but all of Suunto's sports watches are a bit large, but they have a cool presence.

   
  

Yamamoto:This size is said to be the same diameter as the Suunto compass. Suunto originally started out as a compass brand, and they still cherish their roots. This background is cool as well, and you can feel the philosophy in all of Suunto's products.

  
  

Enomoto:Wearing a "Suunto" is not only because it looks cool, but also because it shows that you are committed to some kind of activity.

Yamamoto:You wear a watch by Suunto, don't you? Do you like running? Wearing a "Suunto" watch can be a good opportunity for communication.
