@André-Faria Yea exactly. I am also not against new features and new stuff in general, but lately I see too many features coming out of the thin air, that just makes everything less straightforward and more complicated (not only from Suunto, mostly from other brands, or brands copying stuff from each other)
There is a lot of good stuff added over time but it is also overcomplicating some stuff that is supposed to be easy.
And yes that is why we have this forum, to rant and to discuss things which might be important or less important
Back on track with Race 3S and Race 3, if true, for me this unification of hardware is a plus for the average joe.
It was a bit “complicated” to understand that the Race S had newer/better hardware but at the same time different size.
But yeah constraints of the time/development/hardware available at the time whatever.
On my side hardware wise no reason to upgrade from the Race S.
Feature wise, I am thankful for the introduction for the introduction of broadcast HR, which was a feature I use every time on the garmin (And yeah I know I can buy an HR Strap and it will be more reliable lalalalala), but honestly I would have loved if suunto had “copied” it from garmin, on a simple one click button.
I understand where it comes from the suunto way, but not my use case.
This and “save for later” . Would it worth an hardware upgrade? For me no.
Market will tell. Maybe suunto comes with something nicer that we all say “wow I want it!”
Right now, both for garmin and suunto, I almost would prefer they charge me for software upgrade with certain features if they were well implemented than having a new watch (but that would challenge all the way things are done, and probalby wouldn’t work finnancially ahha).
Back on the 3S, just hope that it maintains the race S design which I trully love.
