I use race 2 since 4 months. I had 3 restarts during 2 long runs in training and worse, one during my race. During the training it's unfortunate but I can live with it. During my race, I'm only missing 500 meters of 23km because I had the chance to check my watch relatively soon after the bug. I was

I have the race 2 and the pace pro and disagree. my race 2 feels choppy even after updating and the bezel scroll feels laggy compared to the pace pro. The pace pro is extremely smooth and easy to use and the experience has never failed me compared to the race2. I think the better comparison is the e

Yep. I’ve written quite a few posts about my own experience with all of the data discrepancies. It’s very disappointing for this launch. I returned mine as have many other people. I wanted to love the Race 2 but it was a let down so I returned it. Terrific build quality but the software and data int

Yup it’s all well and good releasing nice looking watches but when the app and bugs are sub par what’s the point? These days a fitness watch is only as good as the software and app that supports the watch. I cannot use a watch where the data between the app and the watch is blatantly different. Fix

I sent my Race 2 back because stuff like this. Suunto need to start a beta program to help with fixing this stuff before they release it to the general public.

My feelings with the Race 2 and Suunto in general (I own a Solar Vertical also) I sent back the Race 2 for pretty much the same reasons as you stated but I’ll also list a couple of issues I can’t stand anymore. Sleep tracking is garbage on the Race 2 the watch picked up multiple 7 hour sleeps and re

It’s a tricky question and I’m a comparable situation I think you should first define your needs and things that you don’t want Coros and SUUNTO have both made their hardware evolve recently with new processor that will allow labels on map for exemple Suunto is in my view a bit late on the software

I'm actually returning my Suunto Race 2, the mapping and navigation on it was just too weak for me hiking. The maps don't have trail names and POIs which matters a lot to me especially when my plans might change midway into a hike due to bad weather, closures, or other hazards. Also I don't know if

Habe die Race 2 getestet und sie leider für die 970 zurückgegeben. War ein Fehler. Habe mir jetzt doch die Vertical 2 geholt und werde die 970 verkaufen. Ja, bei Suunto sind es 70% weniger Daten und Funktionen. Doch irgendwie hat man von den Daten auch nichts. Die 970 ist gefühlt die von der Optik u

Personally yes, because I'm very particular on the UI/UX on the watch itself. I don't like the UI on the Garmin. That's already a deal breaker for me. The app also sucks, tried it on my friend's. Bought Suunto Race 2 weeks ago, sold it off after a week. I just don't like the UX on that thing, feels
