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

Race 2 vs FR970

Garmin probably has more features and I've used Garmin watches for ages for the fear of missing out but not being a pro athlete suunto covers more then enough of the basics for me. I prefer the look of the race 2 / vertical 2 over the recent Garmin watches and especially dislike what Garmin has done

Leaving Garmin after 10 years (FR955 firmware fail). Suunto Race S or Coros Pace Pro?

I'm a long time Garmin user on holiday in Italy at the moment and my Forerunner 945 just died so I looked around for a replacement. The Suunto Race 2 titanium is less than half the price of a FR 970. I have a number of complaints about Garmin and how they treat customers so I thought it would be a g

Suunto Race 2 confused

Had multiple Suunto watches. Currently using the Race 2 and the Vertical Ti Solar. I’ve had no issues. I’m surprised how many people do and not sure if it’s unmet expectations, knowledge or what. Obviously may use social media to put their issues out there. The company could not survive of it was al

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)

Suunto Race 2 is what finally allows me to move away from Garmin

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

Suunto Race 2 issues

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

Is anyone satisfied with the T-rex 3 pro?

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

Suunto Race 2 Titanium black vs Garmin Epix pro 47mm

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

At least 9 Amazfit watches planned for 2026

I trusted Amazfit ecosystem during almost 2 years. I was sure that with so much potential, they will ultimately polish the software. But they never answer messages, nor address issues. They think that they just need to attract new customers by flooding the market with new devices... But on the other
