Suunto Race S titanium

@Egika why titanium then? isn’t titanium premium?

@altcmd I find the 9PP being a proof of concept for the new UI, not essentially a new watch. Especially considering how long it took after its launch for the interface to mature. It’s a great watch nevertheless and I enjoy sports with it as a companion.

However, looking at Vertical and Race series - it definitely is somewhat behind hardware wise and doesn’t fit the rest of the gang. I suspect Suunto will release a smaller Vertical in the near future.

I find the Race S Ti a bit ‘cheap’ looking - the sand blasted finish of the Race Ti is so much nicer looking than the brushed finish of the Race S Ti (which reminds me of, well, stainless steel).

Hard to justify an additional $100 for a ~7g lighter watch with the bezel/back plate made of Ti. If only there was sapphier glass it’d be a more compelling offer!

Race vs. Race Ti is much more compelling (double map storage & quite a significant weight difference as well).

Here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU2t3Z4rN7s, an unboxing of the white and lime titanium version (in Spanish) by Suunto expert Joaquín Pérez.

Personally, I don’t think that I would find it worth paying the 100€ difference compared to the steel version, but I admit that the one presented in the video looks very cool.

@Brad_Olwin I hope it will be made in near future. With new OHR a Race S form factor and MIP and TI and Saphire. Solar is for me not necessary I will decide then if I replace my S9PP with one of these. Anyway, after ZoneSene launch is OHR even less important for me in training. Unfortunately ZoneSense is in the moment for me big mystery… Sometimes I feel that it does the job as expected, and sometimes I’m sure it does not. But for this topic we have different thread here .
