      Race is definitely lighter than the Vertical but the same diameter. it has a different shape and due to that feels slightly more comfortable. I donโ€™t really notice the difference.
      the question is if you like amoled vs mip screen (with all pros and cons of either), operating the watch by crown or buttons only and of course battery life.

        Thank you ๐Ÿ‘
        Back to ultra is at least the goal, hopefully it will be.
        Vertical is just a smudge to big fore my small wrist but I have to consider it anyway it seems.
        Maps is something I think is fun and important in planing training.
        The answers I have got from you and the others in this thread have been really useful but given me headache.
        A good one.๐Ÿ˜Ž

          @Thomas-Bolstad I switched from S9P to Vertical Solar. I have small wrist, but the Vertical doesnโ€™t feel bulky at all. Having a map is a huge advantage over the S9P. Especially for hiking and trailrunning.
          And the extreme battery life ofcourse ๐Ÿ˜„

            I really have to go over everything one more time.
            Function, size and material and in that order.

                If you are not too carbon footprint extremist, you could consider to buy both of your choices, and try side by side with enough trial days at home before returning.
                Of course it requires also some extra bucks to ingest temporarily ๐Ÿ˜‰.

                  while you mention materials, based on my experience, I would recommend to go for titanium in any case.
                  I am not lightweight fanatic by any means (bikes, boards, gear etc.) but it is a noticeable difference with the watches

                    The cost are secondary for me, if it is really steep I always think it is one time investment over long time.
                    Two watches are although not an alternative.

                      I have titanium today and it just feels a bit better and smoother.
                      Weight difference is very small so โ€ฆ

                        @Thomas-Bolstad have a look at DC Rainmaker here and here as well and please note that some issues have been fixed with latest fw

                          I like Rainmaker, he is brutal onest and can really express what he feel and means.

                            i had both SV Ti and Steel at the same time while purchasing, and weight diff was huge in term of sensation. I kept the steel one thinking i doesnโ€™t worth the extra buck just for this, but i am thinking each time that i may have made a mistake.

                            10g is not huge, but out of 60g, it is really noticeable.

                                  @misu763 if youโ€™re on iOS you can do this with โ€˜RunGapโ€™ which also works great for importing workouts from the past. On Android you can sync from Polar flow to Suunto with Healthsync but I donโ€™t know if its possible for workouts in the past.

                                      If you consider a Race or a Vertical, I would go into a shop and try them on the wrist. For some people the lunges dig in to the wrist bone, which can be painful (even bloody). It really depends on the wrist bone. At the same time, those watches donโ€™t feel as big and heavy on the wrist, as the dimensions would suggest. The Race might be a little more comfortable.

                                        We are going to the mall tomorrow and Iโ€™am testing both Race and Vertical on the wrist.
                                        In the front right now are the Vertical but it depends on the size.

                                          @Thomas-Bolstad this is the vertical on my 18.5 cm circumference wrist (donโ€™t know what the average circumference for men is but I found it comfortable)

                                            @Thomas-Bolstad I had the S9B and before that the Garmin Fenix 5, both are in paper the same size as the Vertical. But for some reason the Vertical does feel smaller!
                                            Enjoy your shopping, I am very happy with the Vertical, an excellent watch and the battery is bonkers.
