Suunto Releases 14 New SuuntoPlus Watch Apps

www.dcrainmaker.com/2023/09/suunto-releases-suuntoplus.html

I’d still like to see a number of these become stock data pages so they don’t count against the limit (or, just raise the 2-app limit, in the same way Garmin’s Connect IQ limit of two apps on wearables is silly).

Profile Design Aero HC Aerobottle + Bike Computer Mount Review

www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/04/profile-aerobottle-computer.html

Wahoo Delays POWRLINK ZERO Speedplay Power Meter Pedals

www.dcrainmaker.com/2021/08/delays-powrlink-speedplay.html

As a point of comparison, one only need to look at the years of delays to get from Metrigear to Garmin Vector, or for Xpedo to give up, or for Brim Brothers to give up, or for IQ2…to…well..to who knows what’s going on there.
