Suunto has something new coming on April 8
Suunto has started teasing a new product launch for April 8 and the clues strongly suggest this is not another sports watch. The short social teaser flashes icons for running, cycling, fitness, work and music, alongside a distinctly boxy silhouette, which lines up very neatly with what already appears to be an upcoming pair of open ear earbuds.
The teaser points away from a watch
The timing here is interesting because Suunto has already been expanding beyond watches and dive gear into the audio space. Its official website now prominently lists a dedicated headphones category alongside watches, dive products and accessories, so another launch in this segment would make complete sense.
The teaser itself seems deliberately broad. The use of sports icons mixed with a work symbol and music suggests something designed to move between training sessions and everyday use. That fits the current trend for open ear audio products, which are increasingly being pitched as all day companions rather than workout only accessories.
The silhouette is also telling. Rather than the rounded shape you might expect from a smartwatch case, it appears more consistent with the charging case or profile of an earbud product.
All signs point to Suunto Spark
What really strengthens the theory is that something called Suunto Spark White has already surfaced on Amazon Germany. According to the listing details, the device is priced at €99 and is described as wireless open ear earbuds.
That price point is notable. It places the product below premium sports audio options while still keeping it firmly in the branded fitness accessory space. For Suunto, this could be a very smart move, especially as runners and cyclists increasingly look for safer alternatives to in ear buds that still allow them to hear traffic and their surroundings.
Our takeaway
This type of product would fit neatly alongside Suunto’s existing audio lineup. In my review of the Suunto Wing 2, what stood out was its clear focus on outdoor training, with the open-ear design, secure fit and useful extras like safety lights and head gesture controls making it particularly well suited for runners and cyclists. These are typically priced at around $180.
The Spark looks like it may be the next step in that lineup, perhaps a more mainstream and affordable alternative aimed at people who want open ear audio for both workouts and everyday life. If the April 8 event confirms the Spark name and design, it should make for an interesting addition to the company’s growing ecosystem beyond watches.
