Erg blij met mijn 6 km PR maar ik schrok wel een beetje van de hartslag 🤯

Het kan wel enorm verschillen, althans wel bij mij. Ik heb door de jaren heen een aantal inspanningstesten gedaan bij de sportarts in het ziekenhuis. Dat is uiteraard met professionele apparatuur. Ter vergelijking heb ik dit naast een aantal horloges en hartslagbanden gehouden. Puur uit interesse. D

Race 2

Mapping and navigation is most important and the Race 2 does a reasonable job of that. It actually doesn't do a reasonable job beyond the simplest use cases. As a trail runner I am a power user in terms of using maps and navigation, and I could probably write a whole page of text of what's wrong wit

Suunto Race S ... Real feedback from long-term users? 👋

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 it’s simple - but on your point about it being a fitness watch, I felt the HR sensor was

Thanks Coros for making smaller diameter watches

Suunto race s is a 45mm watch, the S stands for small 🙄

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 don’t do (see my recent post about not being able to get my Run to announce mile splits no matter what I try - when I’m told it IS

questions about Suunto vs Garmin on VO2 max, HRV etc

VO2 max is an aerobic fitness metric. the watch gets datapoints any time you do some sustained hard efforts. if you're not a "big runner" then it probably doesn't mean anything to you. i don't agree it's a "scam" like the other commenter. it might not necessarily correlate with a lab-tested result,

Thoughts after 130km ultra-marathon testing Vertical 2:

You're crazy, doing a review after running 80 miles! 😱🤪 Anyway Suunto has a confusing line of watches with a lot of overlap: Run, Race S, Race 2 and Vertical 2. If they had made the Vertical 2 with an improved MIPS display instead, things would be so much simpler and you'd get a watch with 90 hours

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

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.
