The Coros Pace series build quality isn't great. They're all-plastic watches, normal glass screen. The base Pace 4 also has only a 1.2" screen (same as the Garmin 165, which is also a cheap plastic build). The Active 3 seems to be targeted as Amazfit's entry level running watch has better build qual

For that price, I'd buy a Suunto Race 2 or a Coros Apex 4. Not this thing

I use race 2 since 4 months. I had 3 restarts during 2 long runs in training and worse, one during my race. During the training it's unfortunate but I can live with it. During my race, I'm only missing 500 meters of 23km because I had the chance to check my watch relatively soon after the bug. I was

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Been a Suunto fanboy since my Ambit 3 Sport many years ago. They are just streamlined, solid, reliable tanks. Have a Race 2 currently and am just blown away every day with its battery, build and overall performance!

Coming from Garmin, using Race S for more than 6 months with no issue. It works fine for sleep tracking, wrist HR on aerobic exercise, maps are swift.

TRex is also all plastic, thin metal on top is cosmetic only. I didn't mention the T-Rex, but the $1100 Fenix 8 is also steel or titanium sandwiched between a polycarbonate body. 1.2 screen is better than 1.5 screen if they show the same information You can display more information comfortably on a

Are you sure about Garmin discontinuing the support for Epix 2? In my understanding they do not offer the new features for ”F7 line-up” buy do bring any essential security updates and bug fixes. Anyhow, I do understand your frustration towards Garmin as I’ve spied the conversations and updates about

I used Race Titanium (the same model) for almost a year and have never had this issue, despite running several multi-hour ultramarathons with it. Does it have the latest software? You should contact support, which you can do via chat. Update: it looks like there is one similar report in Suunto Forum

For me, no notable problems for a month with my Race 2, I'm even super happy with it. It is beautiful, simple and effective, it records what you need when you need it (hiking, running, mountain biking) I think it takes a little time to get to know its owner, but after two weeks already, the sleep tr

I can fully understand this. I have an Epix Pro and a Race S. The Epix Pro can do a lot better and is objectively the better watch in daily life, but there is something about the Race S and the Suunto app, that I feel emotionally attached to. Maybe the David and Goliath kind of situation adds to thi
