Suunto Race 2 & Vertical 2

Please don't make it a smartwatch like some competitors, keep it a product for outdoor enthusiasts. I am with Suunto for reliability and simplicity in the mountains. Improve wrist HR, articulate the bezel on the vertical like the race, keep the Vertical 2 made in Finland.

Suunto Race 2 - how is your watch doing so far?

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

Keep the Race 2 Titanium at $600 or Buy a New Forerunner 970 for $630?

I have a FR970 and was wondering whether to sell my FR970 and get a Suunto Race 2. Ultimately, I have now come to terms with the fact that there is no such thing as the perfect watch. All manufacturers have some problems, for example my FR970 doesn't even notice when I go dancing in the evening and

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

Sleep tracking issues

Sunnto has historically claimed that sleep tracking takes a bit to become more reliable because it needs to establish various baselines and averages. It's also claimed by Suunto that it takes into account your typical sleep schedule and sleep patterns. Based on my time with both the Race for 2 years

Suunto New Watch Planned Release in UTMB

Looks like it might be the Race 2, which was accidentally visible in the app (together with a Vertical 2). If I had to guess, this is bringing the Race 2 to the same OHR sensor as the Race S. The Race S (Jun '24) has only been out just over a year (compare: Race in Oct '23), I don't see it getting r

Suunto Race 2 Ti or Garmin FR 970

I posted something very similar to your dilemma. I’ve been in the Garmin universe for many years and looked at getting a discounted 970. After much contemplation and testing the Race 2 for a week, I’ve decided to stick with Suunto. While it has some noticeable flaws (some data discrepancies between

Race S vs Race 2 Software

From what I understand from Suunto strategy, they differentiate their products mainly through hardware differences vs. software. For us consumers that's great cuz they don't paywall or lock features to only more expensive watches. To be honest based on Chase The Summit's youtube review, the UI is li
