Suunto Race 2 General Discussion

@raven said in Suunto Race 2 General Discussion:
The charging cable from the Run is a piece of crap? That’s the last revision they just did a few months ago, and the Race 2 differs from that. My point is the Run and Race 2 should have the same charger, given they have been released near each other and likely one design is superior to the other.
The charging cable for the Run is worse than Race 2, yes

@VoiGAS about « performances », I was waiting for only one thing : rep counter and 5sec bip to next step, for structured workouts.
Now that it’s been implemented to SV and SRs, I don’t thing I miss a lot of things.
For the rest both my SV and SRs are perfect
Better OHR is off course a plus, but for zonesense and intense activities I use HR belt, so…Suunto’s devices at home :

@Tieutieu I think so as well. But I’m not sure I’ll manage to avoid buying the SV2
-
@Highlands SR2 is to close to me to my SV, and I also own the SRs, so for me I wait for SV2.
Going for SR2 in my case would lead me to use it only regarding features, but i love my SV and like very luch my SRs (both made in Finland).
I still hope SV2 could be made in Finland for some models (personnalisation maybe ?)Suunto’s devices at home :

On Race with latest firmware.
With internal structured workout , there isn’t a bip and/or vib at the end of the rep but there is a count of the rep.
With SuuntoPlus structured workout, there is a bip and/or vi. At the end of the rep but there isn’t a count of the rep.
I use a lot internal structured workout because i forget often to create a SuuntoPlus workout in advance.
I hope Suunto will fix that !

Right after it hit the market, I tried out the Race model. I was thrilled with the new display, faster user interface, nice design, etc. I just wanted to try it out. But then I found out that I couldn’t turn the crown with gloves on in winter, and what’s more, the crown stopped working in freezing temperatures. I quickly went back to the Vertical model, which I have no problems with under any conditions. So even though the RACE is a beautiful watch, it’s just not for me. It’s simply a matter of hardware. I’m looking forward to the Vertical 2, whether it comes out now or later. I just hope that in addition to AMOLED, a MIP version will also be available. Maybe there will be a great titanium solar version with MIP and AMOLED in steel. We’ll see

@Tieutieu I wonder if by tomorrow Suunto will have dropped the SV2 bomb

@timecode it is there, it is very nice
-
@Mi_chael ok ! I don’t use internal workouts anymore since guides workouts were introduced so didn’t noticed that
-
@Highlands : Jérôme form french blog montres cardio gps replied in a comment to is SR2 video, asking « when SV2 could be released », that it should arrive « maybe in weeks ». But he’s not suunto.
I would not bet for a SV2 release until fall. Otherwise it would had been announced in the same Time than SR2Suunto’s devices at home :

@Highlands Suunto is a UTMB sponsor and is running commercial ads for the R2 in the live stream, if they had another watch to release they would have released it yesterday
Watch: Suunto Vertical Ti

@suzzlo yes, R2 has the same software as R1, and the contour lines (following the accent color of the watchface) are not there
-
@Tieutieu True that. Also, almost no SV2 leaks. In contrast, the leaks about SR2 were in abundance. Makes sense that SV2 isn’t ready for launch yet.

@Juan-Christoferson said in Suunto Race 2 General Discussion:
I think Suunto Run is meant to target the Chinese Market where it has different needs and requirements
I’m not so sure. Many of us don’t need high-end devices, and Run is perfect for this target market (e.g., my trail running group wears Run

@isazi Thanks for that info. Hopefully, the longer it takes them to release the SV2, the more substantial upgrade we’ll get eventually.
As per SR2 - awesome watch. I’ll decide if I’ll buy it after I buy the SV2 when it’s released. -
@Hari-Seldon yes totally agree with that as well! Just wondering on why there’s a new platform being developed for the Run only and trying to connect the dots even though it’s a stretch

@timecode it’s really a beautiful detail… but I will not replace my Race 1 with a new Race 2, just for this.
Everyone is saying that the Race 2, is prepared for the future, but usually the recommendation is not to by a watch by the possibility of new features, so I will wait until those new functionalities are implemented in teh new Race 2… and only then… replace the watch

Well said. Maybe tomorrow I’ll be able to test Race 2 and decide if it’s worth to sell 1 and buy 2.
