After 3 activities after firmware update, it seems that both watches are closer in distance, altough Race2 keeps showing less distance (around 1% less).
Example from saturday run, ~12.4km, flat easy run.
Vertical: showed 12.41km. GPX file 12.42km.

Race2: showed 12.30km. GPX file 12:43km:

According to GPX file data, both watches recorded similar GPS points, laps and distances. If you compare GPX data track, very very very similar.
So, I use Garmin Connect to compare the FIT files downloaded from Suunto App, with the activities data from watches. This is the comparison result:

Distance is different (as shown in every watch) but, if you push the “play” button to show the 2 tracks in “real time”, they are practically equal in all the activity, similar positions, altitudes,…
So, it seems clear that every watch algorithm is calculating different. Which of them is more accurate? Is Race2 cutting distance or is V1 adding distance?
On sunday, similar behavior. 100m difference in 10K activity. Both tracks where similar and both GPX files very very close (I finished activiy in Race 2 several seconds after V1, so 20-30m more distance added in comparison).
