Suunto Race S In-Depth Review: All The Differences!

[@tomino133]

I switched from Garmin Forerunner 245 to the regular Suunto Race and I love it. I'm not a big HR geek nor am I a super competitive runner so no big deal for me. But the hardware is great (no plastic) for the price and I'm extremely happy with it. This one looks great too. Extremely happy with my move so far.

[@brum293]

This video is Race S and not Race. Mostly plastic from what I can on Suunto’s website.

[@matthiasmoder9119]

@@brum293plastic is not plastic, suuntos materials are amazing

[@vlad_olenich]

looks like a roadmap for everyone with 245 with its lifespan coming to end

[@sullfolife]

owner of a suunto 9 baro i'm looking soon into switching to their latest, i love their app, i love their route planner, their watches are durable and well built, just can't wait to see that HR accuracy going up and all these little updates will be very welcom, all i care now is the NGP on the watch not as a climb suunto app

[@c0isy7]

Good to see that Suunto finally improved hr accuracy

[@toadlguy]

Well, except for biking. That one example you gave was worse than any optical watch I have used (Apple & Garmin for years) and would kind of be a deal breaker. Was it always that bad or did you just use it those two times on a bike? Have you asked Suunto about it? I know you said lots of optical sensors struggle with biking but that looked completely useless - maybe fit? or location?

[@mfm1736]

I’ve seen plenty of reviews these days, it seems like the RaceS is bad at HR, GPS (distance +10~20m/km), lap counting for pool swimming, sleep tracking, and blood oxygen 😅 it is just a watch for hiking

[@chunkylover54]

​@@mfm1736 I got a vertical and it sucks on my bike. I didn't think a watch in 2024 could be that bad

[@opusmax8171]

I might buy this in waiting for Garmin updates ! Love the small package and Suunto finally nailed it ! Thanks 🙏

[@GrimaceCX]

Another review nailed. Thanks for all you do, Ray.

[@Cobbleswl]

Can’t wait for the Race 2 with that HR sensor

[@CraigEggleton]

Currently evaluating race s, Fenix 8, and enduro 3. I’d be giving up a few nice to have features by going Suunto but dang the build quality, hr, gps accuracy and PRICE are making it tough to justify Garmin. I’m hoping for a Vertical Titanium Amoled without the crown. Tried original Race last year and the crown drove me nuts especially playing golf. It is no issue with the S. Well done Suunto.

[@alwayslearning9517]

Hey man. What did you go for and how has it been?

[@Estefany-i5l]

Which one did you keep?

[@tomipn]

I bought Suunto Race S for sprint kayaking but immediately realized the problem with it. The AMOLED display is bright enough in the sunlight but the backlight turns off after 18 seconds. And there is no option to keep it on during workout. I asked this from Suunto support and they responded that all Amoled watches have constant backlight option removed because it drains the battery. The Suunto Race S works well when I use it on my wrist, but the missing backlight is making it unusable when the watch is on a separate holder, like on a kayak deck or bike mount etc. After 18 seconds I can't see anything, just because I can't use the watch on my wrist when doing a sprint kayaking workout. I hope they fix this and let me worry about the battery and charge it more often. 😊

[@tartarinotarascona9248]

Even my budget Polar Unite has AOD during workouts. The battery drain should be an individual choice, not their problem, imho

[@daylanwagener9588]

I would love to see a comparison to the Garmin Forerunner 265 and a Beginners guide for the watch!

[@Ariyasac4]

👍

[@anklexpress]

I hope some of these software updates and optimizations come to the vertical too. I have auto pause activated on my runs and I cant stand how Ill stop in a run in the mountains to check the map to see if Im on trail and I cant because it paused and then I have to resume in order to access the map. Many of those little tweaks to the workout apps are super appreciated and I hope they come to the Vertical in addition to the Race.

[@sportfittech]

First discovered DCR when I was looking for views on the Suunto T6c. Move to the Ambit range and then the Garmin Fenix 3 dropped… great to see Suunto coming back and thanks Ray for covering. Suunto doesn’t get much love with other reviewers these days Where is the 1050 review DCR 😅

[@trailzrock2]

My only issue with all these Suunto, Coros and Polar watches is that they keep ommiting ANT+. I spend a lot of time racing indoors and having ANT+ is an absolute must when my Bluetooth power meter is already busy sending it's power info to the tablet. I absolutely need that ANT+ on the watch so it can receive the power data. Oh well! I think Suunto is missing out on a lot of customers, because in addition to other people needing what I need, they also push Garmin on their friends so they can all be in the same ecosystem. As much as I like Suunto, Coros and Polar, my girlfriend and her friends and all my friends I push to Garmin solely because of the ANT+. It's a bigger deal than most people think.

[@tadejdanev5030]

ommiting as not implementing it?

[@trailzrock2]

@user-ur4lv4zh4h probably not, but it would be an easy addition to their future watches. I don't just indoor cycle but I do enough where it matters. I can see cyclists picking Garmin over Suunto because of that and then they're in the eco system. Hard to leave

[@deremann9577]

@user-ur4lv4zh4h pfuh, many cyclists switch to indoor during winter periods - just look at the Zwift etc. communities

[@erva1976]

Great review. Would suggest a short comparison of platforms as in case of Polar the Flow platform works great and makes me hesitate to look elsewhere, even when watch is this good as Suunto.

[@yiyoink]

Very happy with the Race S. Mapping is incredible on hikes and has been surprisingly reliable. Sapphire glass isn't a deal breaker since I put a screen protector on anyway.

[@ChristianSlagter]

Good to hear, I'm on the fence of buying one. Any tips for a screen protector? And how's the battery life?

[@ChristianSlagter]

Any tips for a screen protector?

[@yiyoink]

@@ChristianSlagter Sorry late reply. Hopefully you found a screen protector. I used this off Amazon: B0D81F331T. Since the glass is flat edge to edge, it almost looks stock. Battery life is great. Like 3 days easily without charging.

[@vikeshnarielwala6732]

Yes looks like a good watch. Can you recommend a fitness watch around 400$ max. I run and workout each thrice a week and once a month go hiking. Need something for a long time with good app support. Not so much inclined towards having music as i generally dont listen to music. Your suggestion will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

[@cruzinnow]

When can we expect the update to the Suunto Race with these new features and updates?

[@WayeOfLife]

omg,.. suunto bringing it! - initial thoughts about the production; does that mean they are looking at the carbon footprint of the watch and making it with 100%renewable energy? - they used to have those stats on the 9 Peak Pro etc Excited for the Race 2 - old man eyes needs big screen size haha

[@ActionHub]

Per Suunto: The Race S will be carbon offset with Verified Carbon Units, an initiative that involves planting coastal mangrove forests, which not only stabilize shorelines but also remove pollutants, improve water quality, and provide crucial nursery habitats for fisheries. Additionally, the Race S will have slim, minimalist packaging, using entirely recycled paper.

Right?? I‘d love to see a smaller suunto but still with a MIP Display (not the 9PP though)

[@_J.F_]

It seems to be a very decent watch for the money. It wont make me want to trade in my Garmin watch but if I were to get a new watch Suunto is definitely a brand I would look at in my research for a new watch. That said I will never buy a watch with Gorilla glass as I tend to scratch them whereas sapphire obviously costs more but does not really scratch unless you make a real effort to wreck it.

Great review - as usual. You can now set the lock screen as a shortcut, so you don't mess up the watch face in the shower :). Long awaited it's there with the latest FW.

[@marcinp3343]

There is a feature in Garmin, when you pause workout, you can choose 'resume later' and watch goes back to normal mode, without gps etc. Is there something similar in this?

[@faizbalweel]

hi Waiting for your review for Suunto Ocean, I know this fall in the Dive Comp Section but it will be beneficial for the Runner/Diver to know whether it has the same features with Suunto Race

[@crankgreenwatts]

Great review 👍 My Fenix 3HR has had it now so need a new watch. Have been considering another Garmin but this one looks a great option for the price break 💰 Just need to check a few things like Stryd support, Parkrun Barcode, but otherwise seems great 🤞

[@notmedude]

I was really surprised so many elite runners from my country run with Suunto. Even Courtney Dauwalther runs with them. Once they add nfc payments and better navigation features I may think about getting one.

[@martindu4]

Did they fix the ability to prevent dim mode for a specific sport. If I attach my race to the bike handlebars and go cycling then it would go dark after a few seconds which makes it a useless bike computer. Need to turn the crown to revive the display.

[@kamil19891989]

Yeah reached out to suunto support on this as option for always on on display was in my peak 5. They just claim been working on it but no specific data ..

[@tomazas2]

I have a question about the race S or any Suunto in general. Does it have an option to track hr at a specific time? Like a Polar for example, i specify to track in the evening when im close to sleep, to save battery life, and generally i dont really need daytime hr anyway. thx

[@rocfella]

this or forerunner 165 for general health and sports trackin?

[@JasonRaneses]

Just received my Race S and the watch is stuck in debug mode, with a white screen showing crosshairs. You can cycle between testing the hardware, including calibration of the crown, but the watch will not load the main operating system. Tried to do a hard reset using the Suuntolink app on desktop but the watch isn't recognized. I looks like Suunto is shipping at least some of the initial release without being fully baked.

Thank you for the great Video! I am searching for my first sportwatch and the available options are overwhellming. I think i brought it down now to two watches. The Pace 3 and the Suunto Race S. What would you recommend? I will use it mainly for road cycling, little running and my Workouts. Important is for me the heartrate, tracking my rides, and see my recovery. I also want to improve my Training with the watch. I am not sure, which app is better (Coros or Suunto) and if i want to navigate with the watch on my bike. It would be great to hear your thoughts and suggestions about that. Thank you and have a great Day!

[@shortymedia_film]

Is it possible to set the barometer with the desired pressure value? Or can you just correct the altitude value?

[@MM-cj1rv]

Excellent video and very interesting watch :) is the performance update, the climb assist (and all other software changes) coming to the Suunto vertical?

[@mikejansen5852]

Awesome video, great explanation-thanks for that! Still, as a triathlete and trail runner, I'm stuck between the Coros Pace 3 and the Suunto Race S. I'm not too interested in all those extra 'fancy' features, but I'm a sucker for GPS and HRM accuracy. Also, AMOLED and a watch that's not the size of a small dinner plate are a plus. What would be your pick?

[@Stevenwalks]

Actually, I have tested both and I kept the Suunto. Pace 3 is just a bit too small for me and the Race S is just a tad bigger. All I really want is accuracy in GPS and HR (like you), and don't bother with the algorithms. But what really draw me to the Suunto (and at first the Vertical) was when I read their Sustainability reports. Just google "Sustainability report Suunto" and I was surprised on how much attention they put into this. They should communicate more about this I believe. But I am more of an outdoor/nature person than a pure sports person, so maybe that's more of a focus for me. I've really had it with "white tissues" lying around in the woods.

[@Stevenwalks]

Sorry about my post earlier, I just watched the back side of my Race S and there is written: Made in China.

[@LorBais]

Nice review, thanks! A question about the maps...but is it possible to see the name of the streets, cities...thanks!

[@maximus_mc2451]

I noticed that the Free Diving is limited to 10M based on the specifications listed on Suunto's website. That works out to be 1ATM, is that correct? Considering the size and construction of the watch that is extremely low. I was wondering if it was a typo.

[@suntzuthesecond]

It is correct and is actually intended for snorkeling and mermaiding, not freediving. If you are interested in freediving (hello fellow freediver!) and want something from Suunto, you should be looking into the new Suunto Ocean (a do-it-all like the Garmin Descent range) or a more traditional dive computer like the Zoop Novo, D4f, or D5. From what I understand, the dive computers (including the Suunto Ocean) have a dedicated depth sensor, whereas the sports trackers are just getting creative with it's barometric altimeter to measure water pressure in addition to air pressure. For clarity, the 10m limit is just for the depth readings from the sports trackers' altimeters. The watch cases themselves are water resistant to 50m or 100m depending on the model (but not dive rated of course).

[@maximus_mc2451]

"In terms of step counting, is it accurate, or does it have the usual bugs of previous models?"

[@arcdamon]

I don't know what, but my Race S heart rate sensor, made in China, is just nowhere near accurate at all. While I was lying down or sitting, I knew my HR should be around 60, but Race S would display that I have 110 to 120/min, and it could jump up and down quite a bit, sometimes at around 80+. The worst was when I took it for a running session; while the GPS worked perfectly, the heart rate sensor, which started again at around 110+, stopped functioning a few minutes into the exercise. Stopped the workout and restart, same. Spoke to Suunto tech support I was told to try toggle on/off 24/7 heart rate monitoring, soft reset, and hard reset. Did all that, and the problem remains, with no further response from Suunto support. Although I really like the design, the interface, and everything, the HRM is a deal breaker. I don't know if all the test videos use Race S made in Finland, but I cannot keep mine for sport; maybe there's a huge gap in their QA/QC for products made in China? I can not tell. If you know there's a place I can get one that's made in Finland in the US, maybe I will try.
