Suunto Race All black or Titanium 😜
-
@isazi thank you from all the parkrunners! Now all I need to do is get an ‘X’ parkrun to have a full alphabet……
-
@Egika I love that idea!

Steel, because of black color first, and last but not least also because of the price. However I must say that coming from a Garmin Fenix 5X Plus (with a titanium body), I’m also happy with the weight after all. The Race looks and feels definitely lighter and smaller, even if specs talks about almost the same numbers. I can’t wait that the lava red strap is available again to buy it and so got the best looking match for the Race!

@General_Witt Agree the gray cheapens it a bit. Did notice Suunto now states on their site that the Race Ti is Grade 5 titanium.
-
@General_Witt I think it has to do with the antenna.
All watches have a plastic part for better signal. -
I got the Titanium for a few reasons. The main reason is the storage. 32GB future proofs it a bit. File sizes tend to grow, and map sizes certainly do. I got an update to my state map recently that was 400 megs larger than the original. In fact, all of the maps I have downloaded grew. Second I like titanium, it looks cool and it is slightly lighter and it doesn’t feel like steel. I like that not just the watch case, but also the buttons and furniture are titanium. The center of the watch, which I’m guessing is also the movement/module clip is plastic, which is actually a good thing as it helps protect the movement/module from impacts and bumps.

@GiPFELKiND I was worried about the size. I like the peak size so I bought the TI to make it a bit lighter. I’m really happy with it. Can’t almost not feel it on my arm.

@GiPFELKiND For me, Titanium - no visible scratches

@GiPFELKiND all black for me, I mostly mountain bike and hit branches all the time with the watch and not one scratch, pretty impressive watch .

Debating between all black and Race S all black while I enjoy my SV Ti. It’s like I find the Race S a bit better but I know I’ll need a bigger format. Both watches have the same price these days here.
Btw, I’m wearing now my old F6X Pro Sapphire Solar, that weights 82g with the 26mm strap (just to feel the weight).
I had weared that watch for about 5 years, done many ultras and It still feels perfect. The Race weights 83g and it’s smaller than the F6X. Then I don’t like at all the Race Titanium model (Titanium does look very good in the SV though). Thinking in the everyday use, where you need to like the watch, I find steel the good choice.
