Garmin FR265 v Suunto Race S

You'll get maps with Race S. Payment, Spotify etc comes with forerunner. Personally I've moved back and forth between Suunto and Garmin, lately from Tactix 8 to Race. And with Suunto you get the basic stuff done extremely good and it is lot simpler. You set it up once and that's it, it'll work. Metr

questions about Suunto vs Garmin on VO2 max, HRV etc

VO2 max is an aerobic fitness metric. the watch gets datapoints any time you do some sustained hard efforts. if you're not a "big runner" then it probably doesn't mean anything to you. i don't agree it's a "scam" like the other commenter. it might not necessarily correlate with a lab-tested result,

Suunto Race S vs Coros Pace Pro

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

Coros v suunto

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

Buy Race / Race S now or wait for update?

I really like my Suunto race s, the only criticism I have of it is the intervals are a bit crap, everything else is pretty awesome, it’s been out a year now, I can’t see them releasing a new one any time soon, although after they have just released the new line with the run it’s hard to say, that’s

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

When a watch ONLY uses HR Sensor for all calculations (activity, tss, rest, calories) and the sensor literally is shit. How is this acceptable for you? I needed to buy a polar h10 because suunto race s sucks in hr sensor. With Race 2 they should at least reach garmin levels, if not apple. But they d

What running watch do you use?

Suunto Race S. I've found it meets every need for training and race day. I do use it as an everyday watch as well, but really for time and notifications. If you're looking for something that doubles as a full smartwatch, you might want to look at other options.

Software Update 2.44.52 (2025 Q3 - HOTFIX)

I have Suunto Race S and other watches. Sometimes I turn it on to sync with the phone, for any updates for example. After sync the watch goes congratulating me with steps goal, like 17k steps, although I barely did 3k during a day. I hope they fixed this issue.

Want to buy a Suunto, but a little nervous…

I do not have Suunto race 2, but i own race s for 3 months and everything works fine. Sleep tracking is a little limited compared to my Oura, but overall no issues with sleep tracking, no issues with heart rate sensor (tbh i ran chest strap, but other activities HR seems good). Overall experience is
