People are not able to judge watches on feature quality, so they judge watches on feature quantity. And then buy a Garmin.
TBF I never had a Garmin crashing mid-activity, rebooting during my sleep or getting crazy because I plugged it into the wrong charger…
And don’t get me starting about Body Battery / Resources and Sleep tracking…
That said, If the new Race S does have a better HR sensor, a faster CPU and therefore feature parity with the Race 2 / Vertical 2 and a reliable charger, I’m all in…
Both of the garmins I owned did crash. The 965 only once, just like the race s I now have. Charging a garmin was a nightmare. The cable could pop out of the connector for no apparent reason. Have to say, the Suunto charger isn’t any better.
You actually look at body battery, resources and sleep tracking?
HR sensor is easy. If you now have a watch with an optical that works for you then the race s will probably also work. If your current watch doesn’t work for you, neither will the race s. It’s more person dependent than sensor. I wouldn’t buy a new watch because some marketing says it’s the best sensor ever. (I never had a watch with optical sensor that works for me)
I’ve used 9PP, Vertical 1, Race 1 and now Race 2. Race 2 is my first Suunto I’m happy with OHR. Rarely use chest strap now, similar readings.
