Froze mid run

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

Other than being beautiful, what does Suunto do better than others?

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!

What feature/gadget to expect in 2026

What I'd like to happen - A new marketing department that understands how to sell based on the products strengths, and realises that they also have a line of other products that they need to get out to reviewers such as headphones and hrm bands. A new support system that isn't confusing and let's yo

Suunto Race 2 & Vertical 2

Please don't make it a smartwatch like some competitors, keep it a product for outdoor enthusiasts. I am with Suunto for reliability and simplicity in the mountains. Improve wrist HR, articulate the bezel on the vertical like the race, keep the Vertical 2 made in Finland.

Suunto Race 2 - how is your watch doing so far?

For me, no notable problems for a month with my Race 2, I'm even super happy with it. It is beautiful, simple and effective, it records what you need when you need it (hiking, running, mountain biking) I think it takes a little time to get to know its owner, but after two weeks already, the sleep tr

Keep the Race 2 Titanium at $600 or Buy a New Forerunner 970 for $630?

I have a FR970 and was wondering whether to sell my FR970 and get a Suunto Race 2. Ultimately, I have now come to terms with the fact that there is no such thing as the perfect watch. All manufacturers have some problems, for example my FR970 doesn't even notice when I go dancing in the evening and

Finally trying out Coros Nomad!

I'm looking to upgrade from my Garmin Fenix 6S so I'm trying out all the major watches that I could get for under $500. From left to right: Epix Pro 51mm, Suunto Race 2, Coros Nomad. I've used the Epix Pro for around 3 weeks and have to return it soon if I don't decide to keep it. It's an excellent

Suunto race 2 or Garmin again - big dilemma

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

Garmin Fenix 8 vs Suunto Vertical 2

You pay a lot more for the Garmin (about 50% extra where I live). I have used Garmins for quite some time - and it was ok. But now they are just too expensive. I have used Coros and they are great for running but I don’t know how they are for other activities. Now I just switched to Suunto (Race 2)

At least 9 Amazfit watches planned for 2026

I own a Suunto Race 2 for 2 weeks now. Less gimmicks, more real sports features. More reliable, more sports oriented, with a true training load tracking based on TrainingPeaks method. Consistency in data. And some really interesting features (ZoneSense, Lactate threshold test, Cooper test, many inte
