Coros to Garmin back to Coros?

Did this dance too over the past year. Coros pace 3 —> FR965 —> Coros Pace Pro —> Fenix 8 —> Suunto Race 2 (software shit show) —> Pace Pro. Have been very happy with coros ever since.

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

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 vs Coros ui/ux.

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

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 the Race 2 the best adventure watch right now regardless of price?

I think mip watch would be best for an adventure watch, the race is not even an adventure watch for Suunto but a performance watch, the adventure watch in their lineup is the vertical The best watch is the one that fits yours needs not the one someone else tells you it’s the best (otherwise don’t be

Suunto Vertical 2 is coming

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

Glitch or what? 😂

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.

Vertical 2 techs specs

This must he a joke. This looks more like a race 2 pro without the rotating crown. Extremely bad move. No MIP and very poor battery life. I honestly do not know who needs amoled. Suunto and Garmin seem to be heading in the apple consumer direction. Goodbye and hello COROS

Finally

I'm really underwhelmed the difference to Race 2 really seems to be the slightly bigger battery, the bloody torch that they absolutely avoid showing in all pictures and no crown. If you compare using the comparison tool on their page it actually has a few features missing compared to the Race 2 - bu
