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.

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

Looks like it might be the Race 2, which was accidentally visible in the app (together with a Vertical 2). If I had to guess, this is bringing the Race 2 to the same OHR sensor as the Race S. The Race S (Jun '24) has only been out just over a year (compare: Race in Oct '23), I don't see it getting r

From what I understand from Suunto strategy, they differentiate their products mainly through hardware differences vs. software. For us consumers that's great cuz they don't paywall or lock features to only more expensive watches. To be honest based on Chase The Summit's youtube review, the UI is li

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

I am a tester for Suunto and own basically every GPS watch they have put out in the last 15 years. The Suunto Race 2 will do everything you want, and do a great job at it. I wear my Race 2 as my daily 24/7 watch (i.e. health monitor) and for all of my training. One thing that has always stuck out to

For my part, I've had the Race 2 for a month now, and I'm super happy with it. I run 3-4 times a week, no complaints about the cardio sensor, it has never failed me, whether during running or daily monitoring. On the other hand, I can't tell you anything about the Suunto coach, that's not what inter

I recommemd to wait for the Suunto Race 2. It will be released end of August and is expected to have significantly better HR Sensor

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
