Suunto Race S general discussion

@Ars-Vitae I’m using a glass protector for Fenix 7, it fits well.

I’m using this one. Fits perfekt, invisible:

@Reiner No problem with touch response?

No, response is normal.

Can Suunto Race S use barometric sensor to display air / water temperature, like Garmin watches?
-
@Dino-Novak sure, but as with (almost) any sensor so close to your skin, data is not that reliable.

Got this Race s in July, it is clearly my best watch ever: compact, fast, beautifull, longlasting, precise and user friendly. Love the map when exploring randomly arround…
BUT… I scratched quite badly the screen of my race S on a rock while hiking in the alpine. It was really not a strong bump but I was enough for deep scratching the screen on 2 spots.
I did really regret that had no screen cover anymore because the one I bought was looking really bad during this summer it mad thh screen blurry
=> NEVER use this watch without screen protection in the alpine !
=> who has got a screen protector that looks good ?Asked the Assistance about screen repair. They told me it is possible to replace.
What about the cost and delay ? does anyone have an experience here ?
(They didn’t answer me on the chat so I’am asking her to get to know more…)
Is tehr any chance to have it covered due to waranty ? -

good luck, but if you don’t try you will never know you will need to open a real case, and discuss with real agents, and convince them that this scratch is due to Suunto’s fault
or wait and pray to have a serious bug/problem that will require an exchange.

I must admit that my new Race S has been very impressive so far (after 3 weeks). It’s working as expected, no crashes etc. Love it.
However I have to say, the OHR is just as ridiculously bad as my beloved S9B. It’s just awful. So I still need my Verity Sense or H10 strap for accuracy. I didn’t wear a strap this morning and the RS was reading up to 40 beats above my Apple Watch (which isn’t perfect either). Very disappointed in this aspect.
But overall it’s a very good partner for my Baro which I use for my mountain adventures.
-
@Jeffrey-Tillack I would use the Suunto belt or another RR belt and take advantage of ZoneSense, a game changer for training.
-
@Brad_Olwin yes, the OHR is a non-issue for me as I’ve always worn a heart rate strap. I think people get a little too “over the top” about optical sensors (imho). It’s fine for hiking and general day to day life. Maybe it’s my bony wrists it doesn’t like .

@Jeffrey-Tillack OHR is not good for me either, I do not like wearing my watch on my forearm. The Race S can give me decent values while running but not consistently.
