Race 3S & Race 3 rumours
-
@aiv4r again these are only my wild guesses…
Maybe Run was a experiment with compatible hardware but cheap enough to sell cheap and so not much investment in firmware or even hardware that is not 100% compatible with race features (due to price gap).Maybe I am exagerating, but on Suunto story there was always a bit of “let’s make the best of this platform” and when they get to a limit (my guess!) they change…and yeah sometimes features are not "ported"or support becomes more focused on bug fixing than new features
Ambit to Spartan => if I recall correctly it missed some swim features
Spartan to 9 => great evolution feature wise and support wise
9 to 9 peak/race/vertical/race s , race 2,vertical 2?On all these switches, the watches that were launched later had the impression of being “less supported”, but the reality was that earlier watches on the same platform had meaninful updates (ex: 9 peak vs 9 baro).
Depending what happens soon the story may repeat. Let’s see
Honestly with garmin it is not much different, except that their watches have more features we kinda notice less. -
@André-Faria it has nothing to do with hardware compatibility, HR is read well, then connection drops, no more HR.
They are pure software issues.
-
@aiv4r but they do control me not getting what we paid for.
To add: they clearly admitted to users here: “not going to fix that”.

@OutdoorMan this is what Suunto said in their Instagram post today. Talking about “new products”
To get back to the topic again, what about the new products they talk at the UTMB, is there new Race 3/3s in sight now…? Or some other product news?
-
@johann.fuehrer not sure if anybody were there in this forum. Bus as far as we know Run 2 for sure is coming. Race 3 and Race 3S also seems to be coming at some point. Everybody were hoping for at least one of them over the UTMB weekend, but we got nothing.
-
French reviewer Jerome from blog cardio gps has published a video during utmb in which he talks about the brands he has met and their future products.
About Suunto he mentions a run 2 and a srs3 -
While most people are eagerly awaiting the new watches, I’m actually quite intrigued by the new HR…

Suunto Run 2 was visible on Suunto’s website today. At least these changes vs. Run 1:
Better display
New HR sensor
Maps
Thicker
Larger battery -

@GratefulDeadpan I doubt it will come with maps (4 GB)
-
Maps in Run 2 seems interesting, If that’s true Iam curious about pricing it between Race S and Race 3 S
-
@laismaniko Maps on Run would be a groundbreaking change. Can it be real with only 4GB of storage?
Suunto Race 2 (Titanium Trail)
Suunto Vertical (Titanium Solar Forest) -

maybe just smaller zones?
-
@aiv4r There was a mention “4GB/64GB”. I don’t know what does it mean.
More specs can be found on ChatGPT which remembers the leaked page well.
Edit:

Fantastic, seems Suunto is jumping on the Pro/Premium train so very tired of this way dividing products.
