Race S2 -> release?
-
How long will we have to wait for an updated of the Race S?
Many women and people with smaller wrists would also like to benefit from the latest updates and features available in the Race 2and Vertical 2. Unfortunately, those watches are simply too large for us.
Therefore, when can we expect the release of the “Race S2” ?

@Sunday the answer is: if someone here knows, they would not tell you. If there is a leak, you will know at the same time everyone else does on the Internet.
Watch: Suunto Vertical 2 Titanium Black

I think it’s about to be released.
1. The exclusion of support is a real clue
The definitive hint occurred just a few days ago. Suunto recently rolled out its major Q2 software update (version 2.56.18). This update was only deployed for the Suunto Race 2 and Vertical 2.
The original Race S was left off the list. While industry experts note that Suunto is currently trying to optimize the code to manage the RAM on the original Race and Race S for a potential August release, prioritizing ‘second-generation’ models is a classic sign of an imminent generational handover.2. Suunto’s lifecycle and recent discounts
The original Race S hit the market in mid-2024. Reaching the two-year mark, combined with months of aggressive discounts to clear out stock from retailers, makes the arrival of a Suunto Race S 2 logical. Suunto previously followed this exact pattern with the original Race when they introduced the Race 2.3. The Reddit leaks (June-July)
The anonymous rumors on Reddit are not far off. Although June and July are wrapping up without an official hardware announcement, the brand has been entirely focused on the Q2 firmware launch.
Historically, Suunto often utilizes late summer (August/September) to launch new devices, right after setting the stage with the software for the new generation.Everything points to the Suunto Race S 2 being just around the corner. If you are planning to upgrade your watch and want the latest performance upgrades or an updated optical sensor, the smartest move right now is to wait a few weeks.
