Race S2 -> release?
-
@dreamer_ I am afraid that screenless bands are just evolution since over the years people were teached to rely on Body batery/Resources and recovery scores so now everyone wants to have a device that tracks their hrv and hr 24/7 and watches are too bulky and sporty looking. So I can see Suunto making something like that. Of course personally I would like Suunto to cut out Resources and Recovery out, let me not to collect HR during the day (or collect every 10min like Coros) in that case peole would not feel fomo to not wear it all the day.

@aiv4r my opinion is that band are the “bad” middle ground between a Smartwatch and a smart ring.
A band is too limited to replace the watch, but too bulky to be worn with a normal watch, its the worst of both worlds.I’ve said it a few times in this forum, but IMO the combo smart-ring + big smartwatch is the best one.
daily : smart ring for the data nerds and night tracking + nice automatic “real watch” for telling the time and looking cool.
in sport : put the ring and the nice watch in your bag, pullout a Vertical 2 EPIX ALPHA TREX ULTRA for maximum battery, big ass maps and super ruggednessI’m thinking a lot about switching over to amazfit especially for that combo, but the initial investment ,and the dread of having to manage yet another battery thing is making me just keep the 9PP that can do pretty much everything i want correctly-ish and looks good enough in a dress suit

@dreamer_ I am not the target audience for a fitness band ;o), it was just mentioned as an example—I would probably buy a Suunto RUN as a second watch.

@aiv4r as said in other forums and before the end of the year. Very likely (NOT official confirmation), the pending watches are:
- Run 2
- Race 2 S (name to be confirmed). Mix between V2 and R2 in small form factor?
- Ocean 2
Everything is speculation for now.
Suunto Vertical 2 Titanium Sage, Suunto Run

@dreamer_ Sounds interesting! In the moment I am happy with my Race S - Vertical1 - Eon core combo, but an Ocean2 with running dynamics, better display and lighter case could replace the whole set

@raven isn’t Suunto Run similar size to Race S? Suunto Run 2 might be an option, if it would get same OS as the others.
Ah, I always thought it was same as Race / Race 2 but you’re right Run is closer to Race S.
Race S: 45 x 45 x 11.4 mm
Run: 46 x 46 x 11.5 mm
Race 2: 49 x 49 x 12.5 mmAt the time I bought my Race S the Run didn’t exist yet, and when it did come out a few months later it’s weird different OS without SuuntoPlus, combined with the fact I now already had the Race S, kept me from looking too closely at its size.

I do not think this makes sense. Why would you release Run 2 and Race 2S. I would definately go for Run 2.
I am not sure id Ocean needs upgrades for now. So my vote would be for 1 out of 3 is possible.Suunto Race 2 (Titanium Trail)
Suunto Vertical (Titanium Solar Forest) -
@dreamer_ I heard:
- Run 2
- Successor to Race S - closer to the Race 3 than the Race 2.
- Race 3 (later)
But who knows…

@aiv4r I vote for the Ocean. Its the oldest, right?
