Good and bad of the Race S

[Aladdin]

I’ve had the Race S to test for a few days now and I have to say it’s a very beautifully designed watch that feels great!
There are just a few things about the software that bother me and I hope they will be addressed or forwarded as a suggestion:

• Pressing complications on the dial often doesn’t work.
• UI: you can only ever select the middle element directly during operation. If I select a menu item above or below the middle one, this item first jumps to the center for selection and then you can only press it. I find this irritating and hope this will be improved with an update.
• No tap-to-wake for the display! I Wonder why?
• I really miss a quick selection (like on the Garmin) where 10 symbols are arranged IN A CIRCLE at a glance!
• Sleep Tracking doesn’t work good

I hope Suunto will fix this with firmware updates so that the Race S becomes a real classic.

@Aladdin Perhaps we can collect all small and large things here.

Here is my feedback concerning the touch screen (also came from Garmin):

Pros:

• there is a lovely ‘minimal’ mode for a wake up gesture. It is just great, love it!
• entire dynamics in switching between wigdets and scrolling works just perfect for me.
• Navigation/maps in sports mode is implemented incredibly good. It works way better and more responsive than in Garmin.

Cons:

• as pointed above - no tap-to-wake option. I really hope this will be updated soon!
• also compilations are not equally responsive on all watch faces - I suppose this can also be fixed in next updates.
