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

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

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

Sunnto Run —Sunnto Plus

Hard to say. I think the only ones who know for certain are Suunto's software development team. For what it's worth, as someone who has had a Race since launch, the watch went through a bunch of significant software overhauls. In its current state it's very different than it was when first released.

Race 2 keeps rebooting mid-run

Thanks for this tip! I have a brand new Race 2 Titanium (less than a week old) and the exact same thing happened to me. It crashed during only my second run with the watch, right during the initial warm-up phase. ​I had a competitive half-marathon yesterday and was stressing out about the reliabilit

Leaving Garmin after 10 years (FR955 firmware fail). Suunto Race S or Coros Pace Pro?

As much as I love my Race S, Suunto has some weird bugs. They happen once in a while, so you never can be too sure about the reliability of the Watch. My Race S rebooted while recording a run twice over the course of a year. One of the reboots has been during a race...

Still worth getting the vertical 2 over the Fenix 8

Suunto Race battery in Year 2 — how’s yours holding up?

It's actually closer to, 2 years and 5 months. The watch was released in October of 2023. I've had a Race since the start and have used it in a range of different weather and temperature conditions in everyday and backcountry environments. I'm currently using the Race 2, but I'm letting a friend bor

Suunto Run Watch

Probably no: I've Coros Pace 3 and after trying Suunto Race S can say that Suunto lacks so much small details for now. Actually there is nothing that you can say Suunto is better except the visual, Suunto watch is just more beautiful. But functionally Coros watches are just super fast sync, have all

Debating between Epix pro and Vertical 2

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I like Race S tbh, what I like most about Suunto is the lag free GPS/navigation (the only reason for holding onto Suunto) which is really useful while hiking and to get real time pace while running. Also, I love their calendar. But from software side Suunto is so mu
