Race 3S & Race 3 rumours
-
I have a hypothetical question since there seems to be a lot of se in here.
IF (big IF) Suunto moves away from the old OS running in V1/V2/R1/R1S/R2 and instead Run future watches on the Run OS. What does that mean for the current line of watches? Can they be flushed with the new OS or are they relics (albeit working still, but still abandoned in a sense).
Wondering if I should return my V2 and just wait this out as my Run is working just as well as the day I bought it.
Why not? Considering the upgraded resources and what we are seeing in Q1/Q2 (and if the new OS is coming), I think Suunto will flash the R2/V2 with the new OS but not the previous watches (this is speculation, of course)

Oh lol noticed my embarrassing typo now, flash not flush.
Yeah it was a reflection/question on my part—wether or not it was possible for the V2/R2 to be flashed with the newer OS. I don’t know much about how these things work but that was my hope when raising the question.

If they do flash the V2/R2 then the R2 could be a great purchase when the R3 is released.

Interesting…
Always carry a flaggon of whiskey for snakebite; and furthermore, always carry a small snake.
User of pretty much every watch since the Ambit 3 Peak. Now back in the family w SV2 :)
-
@stromdiddily they are discounted since a few weeks (or month) in Austria. So I don’t think its a sign of something new arriving
-
@VoiGAS the discount isn’t the interesting bit, the note about “This item is discontinued” is new (for me at least).

Interesting…
Today 523$ for Vertical Titanium dropped in Poland in one of biggest electric market here.
For what I’ve read, Race 3S (aka OW261) will be RUN 2.0
There are Suunto Run 2 photo already and box with watch graphic and new watchface. Seems legit but we know how easy AI can do that. Photo dropped 31/07 at Suunto group on facebook. No photo rule, so if someone’s interested can find on his own.

Photos are at the referenced patent’s site, seems legit

@stromdiddily Ah, sorry - thats strange. Its discontinued, but you can buy it?

Not “discontinued” note in the official site, at least here. I don’t think Suunto is discountinuing yet the support of a watch that had a cost of 800 euro.
Said this and with the inminent release of a Fenix 9 MIP/Enduro 4 and considering that it seems the Apex 4 is selling very well, I really hope the next Vertical will be MIP. I think it is interesting for Suunto for making the Race and Vertical really different and capture all people.

In my books the price of the watch has nothing to do with the number of months it is supported. (I always read this as one of the main arguments about the Fenix 7 / Epix Pro lineup that Garmin clearly left behind.
