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

Going to buy Sunto race 1 my concern is watching reviews there are lag and stutter using it in 2025 does the lag doesn't exist anymore?

No. Most of those reviews were based on pre-release software. I know because I received one of those Race's for review pre-release. The worst of the lag was resolved in a zero-day patch. They're never really was a stutter issue, that was more frame rates from cameras making it look like it stuttered

Suunto Race S ... Real feedback from long-term users? 👋

I had the Suunto race s last year when it came out. I chose it over the larger race because it had a supposedly updated HR sensor and zone training was important to me. The software on the watch is great because it’s simple - but on your point about it being a fitness watch, I felt the HR sensor was

Race S vs Race 2 Software

From what I understand from Suunto strategy, they differentiate their products mainly through hardware differences vs. software. For us consumers that's great cuz they don't paywall or lock features to only more expensive watches. To be honest based on Chase The Summit's youtube review, the UI is li

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

Is the Suunto Race S worth it?

The Suunto watches are far superior in terms of hardware. They really do look and feel better in every way to gain and coros. However there are certain things that they don’t do (see my recent post about not being able to get my Run to announce mile splits no matter what I try - when I’m told it IS

Deciding to bite the bullet on vertical 2

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

How accurate is GPS on Run/Race models?

In my experience, Suunto Race is the second most accurate watch that I've ever had out of 9 watches - very good overall but perhaps not excellent. I've never seen any significant accuracy issues even on the most challenging terrain. Distance accuracy is great too! Suunto Race S is very close to Race

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

Is the Race 2 the best adventure watch right now regardless of price?

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
