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

Want to buy a Suunto, but a little nervous…
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. If you search this sub, you will find that since it's last update, the App compute your TSS from pace rather than HR. You have to manually change it.

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'

Coros to Garmin back to Coros?
Did this dance too over the past year. Coros pace 3 —> FR965 —> Coros Pace Pro —> Fenix 8 —> Suunto Race 2 (software shit show) —> Pace Pro. Have been very happy with coros ever since.

Suunto race 2 or Garmin again - big dilemma
I’ve been using Garmin for most of the last 10 years. I tried Polar for a while, but moved to the new Suunto Race 2 because the HR sensor on the Polar V3 was terrible and the app was honestly a mess. I’m very happy with the Race 2 overall. It’s sapphire glass, so no scratches, has awesome battery li

My path to Suunto - my way to perfect sport watch
Yo vengo de un Coros Pace 3. Quería algo con mapas para mis trails ocasionales y compré el Race 2 en octubre. A veces pienso que debería haberme quedado en el ecosistema de Coros porque ya estaba muy acostumbrado a todo, pero la verdad es que Suunto, para mi, como corredor de asfalto, es una absolut

My path to Suunto - my way to perfect sport watch
My sportwatch evolution has been quite a ride: Apple Watch > Fenix 7 > Tactix 7 > Vertix 2 > Fenix 7X Pro > Fenix 8 > Vertix 2S > Race 2 > Vertical 2. In my experience, Garmin has become increasingly overpriced. Their lineup is cluttered with lifestyle features I rarely touch, and even the OS on the

Suunto Race 2 issues
Yep. I’ve written quite a few posts about my own experience with all of the data discrepancies. It’s very disappointing for this launch. I returned mine as have many other people. I wanted to love the Race 2 but it was a let down so I returned it. Terrific build quality but the software and data int
