Race 2

Go from Garmin Forerunner 970 if you want the most data and pace-assisting tools (PacePro) to optimize every minute of your race. It's the choice of the "data-driven athlete." Go from Suunto Race 2 if you prefer a stronger watch, with a more fluid map navigation screen and a battery that won't leave

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Been a Suunto fanboy since my Ambit 3 Sport many years ago. They are just streamlined, solid, reliable tanks. Have a Race 2 currently and am just blown away every day with its battery, build and overall performance!

I’ve been using Garmin for most of the last 10 years. I tried Polar for a while, but moved to the new Suunto Race 2 because the HR sensor on the Polar V3 was terrible and the app was honestly a mess. I’m very happy with the Race 2 overall. It’s sapphire glass, so no scratches, has awesome battery li

I'm in the same boat. I've been a Garmin user for over ten years, but lately I'm alienated because of their prices combined with lack of effort on their part. Forerunner 970 is one of the laziest products in my recent memory. Given that 970 is not an option for me mainly due to its high price and sh

From what I understand from Suunto strategy, they differentiate their products mainly through hardware differences vs. software.

I have used the T-Rex 3 Pro for about two weeks now, in conjunction with my Helio Strap that I've been wearing for about 4 weeks. And I'd call myself very satisfied so far. I have to mention that these are my first fitness wearables, so I cannot really compare. As a tech savvy and relatively sporty

Plus the Suunto is basically half the price for all the same features - battery life being one of the big ones I looked for. Battery life - even on full multi-system GPS tracking, no battery saving - is amazingly good in the Race. Other watches like the Garmin or Coros have similar great battery lif

I upgraded from a 9 Peak to the Race 2 with an upcoming ultramarathon in mind. The battery on my old watch wouldn't last long enough for the race and I didn't want to hassle with a battery pack in the aid stations. And I figured it would be a nice reward for all the training, regardless of how the a

Suunto has been continuous for the last few models (Race, Vertical, Run, Race S). I would be surprised if the Race 2 was not.

Influencers are terrible at showing the ecosystem, so it's a great question. I typed this up to someone's similar question in r/Coros, so I'll re-post here. Suunto pros: Suunto industrial design, UI design, screen quality, and build quality is ridiculously good. Native support for pace, power, and H
