Titanium - like Aluminum - is almost always anodized, otherwise the surface would not be inert as it is.
The anodization can be done in various colors not affecting the metal alloy structure otherwise. -
To find out more, feel free to send me both SV and SR and I will perform the X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence analysis to get the phase and chemical composition.
It is non-destructive but I will be very tempted to keep both watches afterwards

I believe Suunto is back in the game but I am facing the following bugs with the Suunto race all black:
- Canât answer/respond to a call through the watch.
- Lagging/Image distortion at map viewing especially at 500m and 250m view.
- Canât rearrange the date format on watch face.
I hope all of the above to be solved with the next update.

What is the default date format? mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy?
-
@David-Lown canât change from mm/dd/yyy to dd/mm/yyyy.

@Kostas-Zinelis it is a known bug which will be fixed.

Hi everyone, my new Suunto Race titanium arrived yesterday⌠until yesterday I was using an Enduro 2!!
I have some questions:
â˘When I put it in do not disturb mode it takes a while before the display turns off.
â˘When sleeping mode is active, is it possible to see the time without the watch waking up completely, like on the Apple Watch which can only see the time in low light?
Thanks -
@Kostas-Zinelis I am pretty sure you canât answer calls with it at all. I read it nowhere in the specs! Youâll get notified about a call, but you would answer via the phone

if used together with an iPhone, you can choose to decline or answer the incoming call, like with Suunto watches before. Of couse you need to speak into your phone after this.

Yes thatâs what I meant

I got SR today and now SV feels like a 2 years old watch
-
@lexterm77
really?
Iâm using both and I think theyâre very similar, despite the screen technology.
Iâm frequently using other Suunto watches, toobut we canât discuss the fact away that the Race IS the newer watch

Received my Race Ti today and Iâm very impressed. Finally back to Suunto after a couple of years with Garmin and a few months with Polar! Will be doing a trail long run tomorrow.

First run under my belt with the race. Watch usage is very intuitive and easy to use. No major learning curves. Addition of the dial is a major win. The Race has been tweaked a little and does sit slightly flatter and the lugs do not dig into my wrist bone like the vertical which was my only reason for returning that watch. The watch feels high quality but it does not feel as substantial as the vertical. Not sure why that is. Not a bad thing but feels different. The screen is brilliant. Now for the lagâŚwhat lag? This watch is fine. Iâm sure if I stared at the watch long enough Iâd notice a flicker here and there. Like Iâve said beforeâŚstop staring at your watch and get your ass out the door and go for a run. I do also like how they have slightly rounded upper portion of the watch. The vertical looked a little too flat when looking at the watch. Overall great first impressions and excited for Suunto. I can now stop complaining about the shipping delays.

@craigeggleton
great to read and glad youâre happy.
what do you mean by ânot as substantial as Verticalâ? -
Just wondering⌠anyone find the scroll way too responsive ? I asked because I have been using the apex 2 pro and the suunto scroll is so responsive that I cannot land at the widget I want to see and often either overshoot or undershoot.

As i wrote here: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/9584/display-flipping-for-right-hand , the only thing i hate is that i canât wear it on my right hand.

@leafs93 sorry just downloaded the latest firmware and itâs all good now⌠phewâŚ

@freeheeler The Vertical felt very hefty in the hand and while I know the weight of the titanium Race and Vertical are almost identical, I swear the Race feels much lighter. After wearing to bed last night I woke up and almost thought I forgot to wear the watch. For the last month Iâve been wearing the Apple Watch Ultra exclusively and I can report the Race is much better to sleep with.
-
@craigeggleton
from the specs it is slightly lighter.
most of my watches are titanium, but some also steel. the weight difference between Vertical Ti and Race Ti is noticeable if you focus to feel it. but the difference e.g. between Vertical steel and Ti is significant
nevertheless I find the Race Ti a solid piece with a great haptic
