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?

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.

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!

I recently switched to suunto and they are great. The race s is more affordable and pretty good. However for a first running watch I believe garmin is a bit too pricey. They also added many paywalls within their app and various features also are behind a paywall. I've also been told that their app isn't very good. My recommendation is the huawei gt4. (I've used it for 2 years). As it's an older model now, it is very cheap. It has very good battery life, good gps, good heart rate monitoring and many smart watch features. Great for running! If you're thinking about getting one, watch the review from the quantified scientist on youtube. I don't think you'll be missing out on much compared to garmin and again, way cheaper
