Race S optical HRM Hardware in Race watch
-
It looks like the optical HRM in the Race S is similar in size to those in the Race and Vertical (and 9PP).
Does anyone know of plans to start shipping the Race with the new HRM in?I love the look of the Race S but prefer the larger sized Race. If that starts shipping with the better HRM that would be awesome!

Interesting question, that leads me to another interesting thought:
In the past, Suunot has always come up with new names for its watches.
Perhaps they are now on a similar path to others, keeping the names and updating the hardware on the models after a while?

@matthinsh I do not think that is planned, the new OHR module is for the Race S only. And maybe future watches if it works well, who knows.

@isazi That would fit with how general hardware product release works. It’s a shame though, if it is the same size, etc then it would be neat to install into the Race (though I’d understand if not into other, older watches).
I also suspect that it’s not a simple swap, there will likely be some minor detail in the manufacturing process which means this is a massive change!@dcrainmaker review makes a compelling case for this new HRM module though, the older version, for me, is a shocker!
