From Race a Race 2
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

So all of these are great, but which one to choose?(Suunto Race S, Polar avant m3or coros Pace pro)
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

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

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

Upgrade from Suunto 9 Peak to....?
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

New potential Suunto owner
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
