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

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

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 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

Suunto Vertical 2 is coming

Yup it’s all well and good releasing nice looking watches but when the app and bugs are sub par what’s the point? These days a fitness watch is only as good as the software and app that supports the watch. I cannot use a watch where the data between the app and the watch is blatantly different. Fix

Glitch or what? 😂

I sent my Race 2 back because stuff like this. Suunto need to start a beta program to help with fixing this stuff before they release it to the general public.

Vertical 2 - Nice watch but..

My feelings with the Race 2 and Suunto in general (I own a Solar Vertical also) I sent back the Race 2 for pretty much the same reasons as you stated but I’ll also list a couple of issues I can’t stand anymore. Sleep tracking is garbage on the Race 2 the watch picked up multiple 7 hour sleeps and re

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.

Runners should already check Coros instead of Amazfit

I have tested all brands extensively, and during many years. In my modest opinion for that price a Suunto Race 2 is more reliable and with a much better build construction. Amazfit has lost the point. Too many devices, lots of features but infinite bugs and a very poor software base yet.

Q1/2026 — it's out

It's not weird, but simply reflects the fact that Suunto have forked their OS development to the mainline OS (Race, Vertical models) and the Run OS. Release numbers aren't comparable across OS lines. Sadly this increases the development needs and has (so far) resulted in the Run receiving less atten
