Suunto Race S Review: Best Sports Watch For Under 350 Dollars?

[@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx]

Hey everybody, I hope you enjoyed my video. If you want to take another look at the Suunto Race S, you can find it here: amzn.to/3YoDsgK. If you buy the watch through this affiliate link, you’ll be supporting my channel, but of course, you won't have to pay any extra. Thanks a lot!😊

[@belgasox]

Watched your review in German last week but since my German is not the best (although subtitles help) I was hoping you'd make an English version of it. Thank you!

[@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx]

@@belgasox Thanks for your support! 😊

Nice review as always. Loved the watch, the only catch is the screen, I do prefer MIP, but OLED is the new standard (unfortunately). Unless someone has a disease, I don't see value in using the HR to weight lift training, maybe for calisthenics.

Great review!

Im a looking to upgrade my Forerunner 255, do you reckon this Suunto Race S would be a worthy step up, or a sideways move at best?

[@luisrazormax2861]

Are u still with fr 255?

[@cbr_n]

@@luisrazormax2861 Yeah, think I will wait for the Fenix 8 to release and then pick up a used Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar. Better battery, maps, a bit bigger (FR255 is a bit small for me) and looks better (imo). Sensor-wise it's nearly identical, and that's fine honestly. I've come to the conclusion that wearing an amoled on my wrist is not what I want in a watch, I prefer the more 'analog' experience of MIP.

[@davidwolf6927]

good review, thanks. one question: does the watch also give me heart rate variance and stress values if I do not wear it overnight?

[@sapphiros_word]

Suunto Race S vs FR265 vs Coros Pro.. which is best for running

[@MarcoCipriani-j8i]

HI the race tells me the gradient of the climb if I do repeated runs?

[@aroldoamoroso9968]

I own a Garmin 255, I'm happy with it, but I liked the Coros world better both in terms of interface and use of my pace 3, now I'm considering the idea of ​​switching to Suunto race, what do you think? Then I would like to ask you, seeing your review of the normal Suunto race and I saw the problem on the intervals that does not indicate which one you are on, could you tell me if the problem has been solved with an update I have with the release of this race S? I have to know if it will be resolved

[@aclsass]

Will Suunto have road names in the future?

[@ChristianSlagter]

Great review, thank you. Do you perhaps know any physical retail stores/resellers in Germany that I can visit to see the watch live in action?

[@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx]

Hey, thanks! Unfortunately not, sorry 😕

[@justmakevids1070]

can we use for gym ?

[@rpgeraltofrivia4626]

Great comparative review.. has the accuracy of Race improved with updates? I want to buy it over Race S because of battery life.

[@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx]

@@rpgeraltofrivia4626 Thank you! 😊 It has improved slightly after the update but still not the best for sports like strength training. Anyway, definitely a great choice!

[@rpgeraltofrivia4626]

@@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx I will be using it only for running.

[@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx]

@@rpgeraltofrivia4626 For running, it is accurate according to my experience

[@gamerlingsir1598]

Is the UI still laggy after the update 2.35 for Suunto Race Titanium?

[@rpgeraltofrivia4626]

@@gamerlingsir1598 nope.. only half a second delay when backtracking from settings

[@LorBais]

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

[@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx]

Thank you! Unfortunately the maps don’t include any labels like street or city names

[@mikezane5191]

What do you think of the orange band?

[@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx]

Normally I always choose the black or grey options, so pretty boring. So the first few days, I didn’t really know what to think about the orange band but I like it more and more everyday 😊

Can suunto race s save songs to play offline like the forerunner 265?

[@DesertTriDad]

No

[@anjajgajg]

@@DesertTriDad thanks

[@KC-UT4rmAZ]

I genuinely feel Suunto purposely does something to all their watches to not make it the perfect watch. In this case, no sapphire screen. They could have put a sapphire screen in this, charged 400$ and BAM. It would still be cheaper than the Garmin Forerunner 265 or certainly 965.

[@nycon2k]

Correct, but just put a screen protector on it and you are fine anyway. As the glass is flat compared to the 965 or 265 it is easy to do and looks better than the curved ones for the garmins. 😉

[@blastabone]

@@nycon2kExactly!
