      I’m hoping very very much that the Race 3S will be with a Sapphire glass.
      The Race S is the only one in the lineup with a Gorilla glass and a friend have it (he had a 9 peak before) and its scratched like crazy while my 9 peak pro is looking brand new, Sapphire is pretty much a dealbreaker for me.

      At least for the titanium version it would make sense

        I’ll never buy watch without Sapphire glass. That’s reason I didnt get Race S. All my Suunto watches were scratched (bezel) but screen always like brand new.

          @Egika I am really interested on how the prices turn out. If you look at the hardware specs and software capabilities and compare it to smart watches and smartphones, the whole sport watch market is completely overpriced. And no, it is not justifiable by all the pseudo metrics that are supposed to help you get fitter. I suspect that the whole market just follows the greediness of Garmin irrespectively if it is justified😅

            @brave_dave if people buy…why shouldn’t the other brands do it?
            Fenix 9 was announced 25/8, I can tell you that on the 26/8 vinted was already “flooded” with Fenix 8s…

            We can criticize garmin, but for sure something they are doing ok for having the fan base/recurrent client.

            Regarding Race 3/3S, I hope they maintain the sleek design of race s, and that they get and hardware/platform whatever that allows them full potential updates/features in case today that is an issue…

            While garmin starts to be “too much” in terms of features/metrics etc, I believe suunto could benefit from a just tiny bit more of features/customization baked in firmware (live track, resume later, more options of complications on watchfaces, etc)
