Taking a look at the Suunto Race and Race S

[@jontron380]

I would really like to see a video on how to use these watches for navigation out on the moor as I am quite keen on getting one for this purpose. Any chance of you doing one please?

HI Does the race have a slope calculation function? If I do hill repeats, does it tell me the gradient of the climb I'm about to run?

[@sebastiento9695]

I'm really drawn to the Race, especially the titanium version! I have thin wrists though (15.5cm) I'm worried it'd look too big 😓.

[@tauntonleisure]

Its definitely something to consider and as mentioned in the video probably the leading factor to consider. I have just been onto our shop floor and found someone with a 16cm wrist and the Race slightly overlaps the sides of their wrist. I think it would eb worth coming to store or another supplier and trying it on for yourself!

@@tauntonleisure fair!! Sadly no physical store have them where I am, I might have to go with the Race S (which is a shame as i really would've loved the bigger screen and much better battery life)

[@Stevenwalks]

But did you use it?

[@tauntonleisure]

Yeah, a few of us from the company were fortunate to try out some loaners on a recent trek in Iceland and during the Welsh 3000s. We were really impressed, especially with the navigation features and the screen quality.

@@tauntonleisure Cool! What models did you use?

@@Stevenwalks Race and Race S, another collegue also used the 9 Baro.

@@tauntonleisure Nice! I think I'll try the S. I kinda like a smaller form factor. The 9 (in Ti) is a beauty and in GPS mode almost the same battery as the S. And you get the maps. Screen is less durable but hey, you can't have it all

[@tauntonleisure]

@@Stevenwalks I think anything to do with the outdoors in a game of compromises like you said you cant have it all. But the Race S seems to tick all the major boxes and in a convenient form factor!
