Race 3S & Race 3 rumours
-
@OutdoorMan have been a few posts on Reddit that there would be some kind of announcement this week or next according to retailers that had seen the watches.
-
@GratefulDeadpan I hope the changes to the Race 2/2S are more substantial then the ones Garmin did on their Fenix 8/9 models

-
I would not wait for an announcement during the UTMB.
I don’t see the point of having a stand with the entire current range exposed to the public and making an announcement the next day.For me the Run 2 will be available in September and Race (s) 3 on October.

@OutdoorMan this is what Suunto said in their Instagram post today. Talking about “new products”

@Tami999 No MIPS again… Garmin releases with the new Fenix 9 Pro again 2 models with MIPS. hoped for this step too with the release from the new Suunto models. Why didnt suunto do this step, too!? I think many Outdoor enthusiasts would choose a new MIPS watch from suunto.

@GiPFELKiND SR and SRs series have never had mips options, and SV1 is still on the market so far

Most likely: because many on internet are very few on sales to pay off development, certification, support etc etc etc
Garmin has other size for sure . -

Not necessarily. I am a core user for Suunto watches (trail ultramarathon runner), and I specifically looked for a watch with high contrast AMOLED display. It works better for my needs and it has a battery life for most grueling ultramarathons.
MIP has some disadvantages compared to AMOLED - lower resolution, lower contrast, more thickness, which results in a bulkier watch. Plus, there are no round MIP displays in existence that are larger than 1.4" as far as I know.

@sky-runner the low resolution bothers me too, otherwise I would opt for one too.
Coros apex 4 46mm also only delivers 260x260 resolution
