What app/device do you use to track yourself on a marathon/long race? Strava was not accurate on my last race.
Strava is an app, not a device. Your phone determines your gps accuracy to the largest extent. Some phones really suck. If you're going to run on the road, get a dedicated device like a garmin, suunto, polar or coros watch. Running in cities with gps sucks. Tall buildings = dodgy signal. Better off

Froze mid run
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

Runners should already check Coros instead of Amazfit
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

Any converts from Suunto here?
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

Optimizing my Vertical 2
You drop about 5% battery per day on the Vertical 2 and Race 2 when used in typical smartwatch mode. Give or take a few percentage points based on what settings you have, how often you use the watch, and battery differences between the two models. That battery drain works out pretty close to Suunto'

Froze mid run
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

Leaving Garmin after 10 years (FR955 firmware fail). Suunto Race S or Coros Pace Pro?
I'm a long time Garmin user on holiday in Italy at the moment and my Forerunner 945 just died so I looked around for a replacement. The Suunto Race 2 titanium is less than half the price of a FR 970. I have a number of complaints about Garmin and how they treat customers so I thought it would be a g

Welcome!
I switched from the Apple Watch Ultra to a proper sports watch as well, so maybe my experience helps. I had the Apple Watch Ultra a few times and kept selling it again. For me, it was just too much “smartwatch” and not enough sport. Too many notifications, too many menus, too much stuff I simply don

Finally trying out Coros Nomad!
I'm looking to upgrade from my Garmin Fenix 6S so I'm trying out all the major watches that I could get for under $500. From left to right: Epix Pro 51mm, Suunto Race 2, Coros Nomad. I've used the Epix Pro for around 3 weeks and have to return it soon if I don't decide to keep it. It's an excellent
