So, the OHR is definitely better across all Polar devices, at least prior to Race 2 and Vertical 2. Did a run with a series of strides yesterday: Race connected to H10 on one hand, V3 on the other using its OHR. V3 matched Race beat-for-beat, and that's pretty much has been my experience over the ye

It's simply what the market wants. People are accustomed to AMOLED displays - they're coming from Apple/Google watches and they appreciate the visual quality, even if it means sacrificing battery life during sports activities. Most users aren't familiar with MIP technology, and when they encounter s

This must he a joke. This looks more like a race 2 pro without the rotating crown. Extremely bad move. No MIP and very poor battery life. I honestly do not know who needs amoled. Suunto and Garmin seem to be heading in the apple consumer direction. Goodbye and hello COROS

I'm really underwhelmed the difference to Race 2 really seems to be the slightly bigger battery, the bloody torch that they absolutely avoid showing in all pictures and no crown. If you compare using the comparison tool on their page it actually has a few features missing compared to the Race 2 - bu

You're crazy, doing a review after running 80 miles! 😱🤪 Anyway Suunto has a confusing line of watches with a lot of overlap: Run, Race S, Race 2 and Vertical 2. If they had made the Vertical 2 with an improved MIPS display instead, things would be so much simpler and you'd get a watch with 90 hours

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

Do you use an external HR sensor? There seems to be an ongoing issue with the battery use being roughly doubled in the smartwatch mode once an external HR sensor is connected. I've experienced this issue with Race, Race S, and now with Vertical 2. I am sure Suunto is aware of this issue because it h

i have a race s that will buzz when certain suunto plus apps are enabled like zone sense that notifies me that I've warmed up. i also find the lack of actual silence annoying - i noticed this only with low battery though, which also cannot be turned off. so I'll pay attention to not letting it go to

I have a Suunto Race S (I use Suunto since the beginning of the S9) , I use it maybe 6 or 7 times a week during my various exercices, but it so frustrating sometime compared to an automatic watch. You have to recharge it The 'move to wake up' isn't working 100% off the time. Always on make the batte

The 'move to wake up' isn't working 100% off the time. Always on make the battery life too short. The first one can be fixed with a firmware upgrade or better a accelerometer and gyroscope in a future model. The latter is an Amoled issue, MIP watches don't have that issue. It's too big (even the Rac
