Race 2: GPS, cadence and distance accuracy vs previous Suunto models
-
Hi everyone, unfortunately, I’ll be returning the Race 2 due to this GPS issue. I continued to run more tests, even pairing it with a Garmin Edge 530 (in bycicle mode), and the result was the same…a loss of about 130-150 meters over 20 km.
At this point, however, I don’t want to make any more mistakes and am considering getting the Race 1, but I understand that the user @jjpaz comparisons don’t mention the Race 1, but rather the Race S and the Vertical.
Do you think it might have the same problem, or should I be okay with it?
I’d also be leaning toward the Vertical 2, but I’m worried it might have exactly the same behavior as the Race 2 in terms of distance loss.
Do you think the Race 1 is significantly behind the Race 2 in terms of technology?
I love the Suunto style and would like to stick with the brand.
Thanks to anyone who can help me.

@Ger43 I have a Race 1 (and Race 2)… the Race 1 has been great, with none of the distance loss / trimming of the Race 2. Lots of comparisons of features online, but from my practical experience, what I’m most concerned about is accurate ascent/descent, and accurate distance. The Race 1 is great in these regards.
