Race S

I can fully understand this. I have an Epix Pro and a Race S. The Epix Pro can do a lot better and is objectively the better watch in daily life, but there is something about the Race S and the Suunto app, that I feel emotionally attached to. Maybe the David and Goliath kind of situation adds to thi

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

It's smaller and more compact, yet at the same time has a slightly bigger screen. It's design language is closer to that of the Race S, and many are finding the case design and lug set up to be more comfortable. Newer and better sensor suite if you care about that kind of thing too. But right now it

All of the fitness watches that are going to do what you are asking are going to be big, that is the nature of the watches these days. I am a 53f 5'4" 122lbs with a small wrist have an U2 and I love it. I have owned a Garmin, I currently also own a Suunto RaceS (I really like this watch as well) whi

This is a tough one. I had a 745 and then a 955 before switching to Suunto. Tried a 965 and it is big, but fits closer to the wrist than the 955. If you're happy with Garmin, it's a great watch.

I switched to a Race S (soon to be a Race 2) because the Garmin ecosystem was too cluttered, difficult to navigate, had too many features (most of which I didn't

The Race, Race S, and Vertical would be great choices if you want could affordable options. Of the three I would focus the most on the Race and Race S. The S is a smaller version of the Race, It's not as durable and doesn't have as good of a battery life but it has updated sensors. The Race 2 draws

I'm over here rocking my really great looking Suunto Race S that I got for $280. And it's literally the most beautiful gps watch I have ever owned.

The Vertical has the best battery life, both with it's regular iteration and of course with the solar models. It's the watch that put Suunto back on the map. But it's the oldest of the flagship watches and it's starting to show its age in a few areas. The Race was built directly off of the feedback

Software first and foremost, specially the app. Garmin is a mess after my trials. Second, business practices and trying avoid buying from US firms, Garmin culture is for me perceived as not worth to support. Third the looks of the Suunto and.functions (Race) seemed workout great for my needs better
