Nice to hear!

Ok, I'll start with minimium requirements.
-SirfStar IV
-Water proof
-Battery life at least 15h, 20h or more would be ideal
-ANT+ support
-Memory belt for saving HRM data during swim
-Features combine of GH-625xt and GB-580P. Multisport features most important
-Big and clear display

"Nice to have" features
-Stroke & distance counter for indoor swimming
-Wireless data transfer to PC
-Start/stop/enter and lap/esc button front side like on GH-505

Other member, please continue...

hi,

it would be fine if future models have Bluetooth to communicate with PC and smartphone for uploading activities to the cloud or downloading tracks / routes for navigation by an app.

Best regards

HW: Keep it thin.
Number of button may be small, if it cuts costs.
Display: No need to be bigger, just use it better, no black borders or big labels.

Binary standard protocol, like .fit.

it would be fine if future models have Bluetooth to communicate with PC and smartphone for uploading activities to the cloud or downloading tracks / routes for navigation by an app.

If ANT+ is used, the communication can as well be done with ANT. ANT is supported on some phones. PC will need a separate ANT receiver (USB).
I prefer USB Mass Storage myself.

Hello All,

Thanks for your suggestions. Will go ahead and forward them to our engineers.

Please update on the progress of this watch. How long will it take before it comes out in the market? I am so happy with the GB-580P that I have been using for some time that I want to buy my running watch from you guys only. Only problem is that the current watches don't support ANT and that's an important feature for me.

[GS_TECH01]

Hello baccilus,

We plan to have a working sample of the new product which would be possibly available by next year.

More details would be provided as time goes on. Please look forward to it.
