          @freeheeler I gave her my S9PP when I bought the SV, but she uses it rarely… I think she loves me more than doing sports… 🙈

            @martintrail Thanks, I have exactly the same circumference and I was worried whether the watch would be too big

            I have been using Garmin, Polar, Coros and Suunto watches for 20 years for running and cycling. I currently have Suunto Race.

                    @Egika I got yesterday the new Race and the step counter seems much better than the algo on the Vertical. On the Race i have no recorded steps while brushing my teeths. The Vertical has counted around 400-500 steps haha.

                        Got the Race today 😀. First impressions:

                        The box is completly different as usual:

                        IMG_1675.jpeg IMG_1677.jpeg IMG_1678.jpeg

                        Updating and installing maps worked perfectly and … maps showed up instantaneously after getting a valid GPS fix.

                        IMG_1687.jpeg

                        When hand is lowered the breadcrumptrail is still visible

                        IMG_1689.jpeg

                        AMOLED display is very bright and high contrast

                        Brightness set to Medium

                              @ChrisA do you think it is to bright in the evening? Or is it possible to adjust it so it is not to much at evening/ nights?

                                @helgonet12 here are two pics on lowest brightness inactive display in the dark (as good as my iphone gets it 🫣)

                                IMG_1693.jpeg IMG_1694.jpeg

                                And one with active display

                                IMG_1691.jpeg

                                I dint find them too bright, not brighter than other Amoleds like on the Apple watch. With do not disturb on, the display gets completely dark and only comes on when you press a button.

                                      Here are some observations from my side, mainly in comparison with the previous watch which was Vertical:

                                      GPS - as good as on Vertical
                                      HR during run is better, no mora peaks where it goes to 200beats for no reason
                                      Finaly option to clear all notifications
                                      Better flashlight
                                      Sleep tracking much better, really accurate
                                      Scrolling much smoother
                                      Steps count, more accurate, no steps while you are typing on pc, for example

                                      These are just quick observations after three days use
                                      Only thing that i dont like are these 22mm straps but those i will change for 24mm as i did on Vertical also

                                        @vlado how do you change from 22mm to 24mm strap? Isn’t the width fixed, and can only use 22mm strap ?

                                          @leafs93 take the pins from 22mm, put it inside 24mm and with razor remove the extra silicone so that the strap can go inside, works perfect.

                                            Does the screen never turn totally “black” when it is inactive?

                                            I think that could be disturbing to some people in the night?
