Thinking about moving away from Polar, can you talk me out of it?
Short answer that became long: I had a V (beside other Polar watches before) and changed to V3 after extensive research incl. using the apps of Suunto and Garmin (the latter I still use for my xc100 rallye pedal). I had the same thoughts like you between the 965 and the Race. So it all comes down to

Confused about which watch to buy
I was a garmin user (forerunner 255, 965). Now I have suunto run. I have had it since the beginning of October. I have almost a thousand kilometers run with suunto run. I left garmin because of the crazy prices and because I no longer follow and am not interested in a lot of the data provided by gar

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

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

Forerunner 965 over Suunto or Coros?
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. Note I have smaller wrists, but use my GPS watches mainly during activities and to sleep. I tried a Suunt

Suunto Watches
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

Need help choosing a running/trail watch: Coros Apex 4, Suunto Vertical 2 / Race 2, or used Fenix 7 Pro
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

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
