The single biggest question for me is … which strap to choose!

This one is for my daughter, I have an extra blue strap for her.
-
@Brad_Olwin Can you share an image of the white Race S with the blue strap? That‘s one of the color combos I am thinking about to buy.
-
@wmichi Of course but I have to wait for her to open it. Later today.

@Brad_Olwin Lovely
-
@Brad_Olwin Looks great, thank you!
-
@Brad_Olwin Could you measure the full length of the strap please? I’m pretty sure my wrist is around 22cm, much more than 175mm as indicated on the website.
My shortest strap on a regular watch is 250mm, so I don’t see how I can wear it without buying a separate strap for it. -
@Brad_Olwin
I would also like to know, if there are two straps s+m inside the box, wouldn‘t be nice if there‘s just the s-size strap inside… -
@damuko I think the idea of both straps is in winter you can wear the watch over a jacket. I have found this very useful.

How are vibrations on Race S? For me S9PP an Vertical did not feel decent for my personal feeling (too noisy, too strong, …).
-
@zebulon Hi! I totally agree, please, please make it possible to play mp3s directly from the watch through bluetooth headphones.
I know the reviewers are asking themselves “who even listenes to mp3s in 2024” but I know quite a few people who actually still do.
I understand it is not a priority to work on but please do not totally discard mp3 playback feature as not important at all.
Thanks and cheers to you all! -
@raceaddict it says that against the black on online now.
Any thoughts on if the other colours will be available at the same time? I really want the pink!

you should be pleased with it.
not noisy like some S9PP. To me it seems to be just right

The German official Suunto website says that the sales launch for the Race S is 9th July. Yeah! Looking forward to next Tuesday then. Maybe this is as well the date for the firmware update for the other watches? In one of the pictures pre-launch I have spotted at that time also a newer version of the Suunto app. I remember it had a more modern (my opinion) layout. Also the women’s cycle tracking is still missing. So next Tuesday bid day?

Has Suunto changed the night mode/DND so that if I tap the screen in the middle of the night, the screen does not go to full brightness? I returned the Race for that and many more reasons but now ordered the Race S to test that out.

Actually, with DND on, tapping the screen does nothing. You need to press a button to activate the watch…

It goes brightness You set when You tap on screen within 60s of last watch use if im not wrong. If You used last time watch 60s+ ago, tap on screen doesnt work and You need to press any button first.
-
@Tami999 So it will still blast the sme brightness as daytime? Because Garmins and Apples that I have had all have subtle sleep mode displays. Just enough brightness to see the time.
-
@Marko1478 I got wake up at wrist move on light level, and its barely visible (but more than enough for me) to see all data, and its great battery-saver. If i want much brighter screen i press any button to wake up watch.
