Race S

For general use, battery life, even at it's worst, is still measured in weeks on the Race and Vertical series. With the Race S having the worst battery life since it is the smallest model and the Vertical Solar having the best because the verticals have larger batteries in addition to the solar. The

I have, and use daily, a Suunto Race 2. I have had the Coros Apex 2 Pro and Coros Pace 2. Essentially, from my experience, Coros and Suunto are on the same level. People complain of all sorts of issues with Suunto, but I have yet to encounter any. The optical heart rate monitor works great, GPS work

Keep in mind that REI 20% discount doesn't typically work on GPS watches and other electronics. That aside, Vertical 2 is a great watch if you want to run UTMB, but by the time you are ready to run it and have accumulated 20+ stones to have a good chance in the lottery there will likely be newer and

You're crazy, doing a review after running 80 miles! 😱🤪 Anyway Suunto has a confusing line of watches with a lot of overlap: Run, Race S, Race 2 and Vertical 2. If they had made the Vertical 2 with an improved MIPS display instead, things would be so much simpler and you'd get a watch with 90 hours

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

I adored my original Race, it was the first smartwatch that really spoke to me. And well things are a little rough with the Race 2 right now, much like the Race 1 at launch, I think it has a lot of potential for growth. There have been a lot of reasonable complaints about the Race 2, I've certainly

Suunto pros: - Suunto industrial design, UI design, screen quality, and build quality is ridiculously good.- Native support for pace, power, and HR zones. (Coros is cagey about power.) But I'd hedge this by saying Coros HR/Pace zones and fitness estimates are better. Suunto is a bit of a chore to ma

I think that the Vertical, especially the solar version is still a compelling option in 2025, even now with the release of the Race 2 and Vertical 2. As both of the second generation watches are very similar to each other (largely boils down to the presence of a rotating crown, the flashlight, and v

Switched to suunto 9 around 4 years ago from garmin 2 days before a triathlon sprint (garmin broke while swimming) They are super robust, had several crashed on the bike and landing on watch while never broke down, amazing battery life and good insights from the app. I’m upgrading my sports watch to

Peak 5 is a very old watch. If you look at the more recent Suunto watches even the most basic Race S easily handles a 100k and even a 100 miler. It lasts 30 hours in the most accurate GPS mode with dual-band GPS, navigation, and maps. And Suunto Race 2 and Vertical 2 provide 55/65 hours in the most
