Race S Series

Hola, pasé del fenix 6 pro al suunto race, y lo hice porque el altímetro empezó a fallar al año, pero bien exagerado, el servicio técnico de Garmin es una vergüenza, se llevaron el reloj y me dijeron que todo estaba bien, obviamente para trailrunning si las métricas de desnivel acumulado no son buenas, no sirve de nada. Suunto en GPS y altímetro no tiene rival, todos los días la misma ruta y clava las pendientes, el ascenso guiado es muy bueno también. Si buscas algo fiable, para mí no tiene rival en ese aspecto, outdoor TOTAL. Si buscas guías de entrenamiento, música, pagos con el reloj, etc... chorradas varias pues Garmin no tiene rival, y en cuanto a Coros, veo mucha copia de Garmin, podría ser una mezcla entre Garmin/Suunto. En cuanto a la medición del pulso, una cinta siempre, absolutamente siempre, será mejor. En cualquier reloj. Llevo 6 meses con el race y ahora no sé si venderlo y pillar el vertical 2. 🫣🫣, ¿qué me recomiendas?

Currently wearing a Suunto Race and I love it. Ran a 100k last year in about 20hrs, and still had 65% battery left. They also make the Suunto Race S, which is the smaller version! My rule for watch replacement is that I upgrade when my activities outlast my watch battery life. Prior to that: - Suunto 9 Baro, nice but bulky and after 4 years, battery wasn’t holding up - Garmin Forerunner 295: Wore for 4 years, but had to charge part way through my first 100mi - Garmin Forerunner 610 - Nike+ Sportwarch

I recently finished a 34hr race and had 40% battery left on my Suunto Race, using the regular/not optimized battery setting.

Suunto Race. Recently ran a 34 hour race and still had 48% battery left.

It depends on how many activities you track. But if you sleep with it on, expect to charge it 1-2 times per week. I turn it off each night, and I need to charge the Race S about once every 10 days. I track about 6 hikes per charging cycle (6 out of 10 days).

I had the Race S, really liked it until the GPS just stopped working after 6-months. Good product until then, just pick a retailer who has a generous returns or replacement policy. Note OP mentions they are beginner-ish; if they are using a service like Runna to manage training plans, I really did not like the Runna integrations onto Suunto. I hated the data screens and pace notifications for interval or tempo sessions especially, but I'm comparing that to an Apple Watch I had before the Suunto.

recently bought my first smart watch, a second-hand suumo race S, and it works pretty well. also, it's European!
