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

advice on the right model
For general use, battery life, even at it's worst, is still measured in weeks on the Race and Vertical series. With the Race S having the worst battery life since it is the smallest model and the Vertical Solar having the best because the verticals have larger batteries in addition to the solar. The

Suunto Race S ... Real feedback from long-term users? ๐
I had the Suunto race s last year when it came out. I chose it over the larger race because it had a supposedly updated HR sensor and zone training was important to me. The software on the watch is great because itโs simple - but on your point about it being a fitness watch, I felt the HR sensor was

From Race a Race 2
It's smaller and more compact, yet at the same time has a slightly bigger screen. It's design language is closer to that of the Race S, and many are finding the case design and lug set up to be more comfortable. Newer and better sensor suite if you care about that kind of thing too. But right now it

Is the Suunto Race S worth it?
The Suunto watches are far superior in terms of hardware. They really do look and feel better in every way to gain and coros. However there are certain things that they donโt do (see my recent post about not being able to get my Run to announce mile splits no matter what I try - when Iโm told it IS

Suunto Race S vs Coros Pace Pro
Influencers are terrible at showing the ecosystem, so it's a great question. I typed this up to someone's similar question in r/Coros, so I'll re-post here. Suunto pros: Suunto industrial design, UI design, screen quality, and build quality is ridiculously good. Native support for pace, power, and H

Coros v suunto
Suunto pros: - Suunto industrial design, UI design, screen quality, and build quality is ridiculously good.- Native support for pace, power, and HR zones. (Coros is cagey about power.) But I'd hedge this by saying Coros HR/Pace zones and fitness estimates are better. Suunto is a bit of a chore to ma

Alternative to Apple Watch Ultra?
All of the fitness watches that are going to do what you are asking are going to be big, that is the nature of the watches these days. I am a 53f 5'4" 122lbs with a small wrist have an U2 and I love it. I have owned a Garmin, I currently also own a Suunto RaceS (I really like this watch as well) whi

Suunto Race 2 & Vertical 2
I switched to Suunto after 7 years with Garmin. I'm also an average runner, I go for walks with the family, and I weightlift to keep fit. I switched to a Race S (soon to be a Race 2) because the Garmin ecosystem was too cluttered, difficult to navigate, had too many features (most of which I didn't
